Introduction to the World of Eldoria

The Kingdom of Eldoria

Eldoria is a land of rolling hills, lush green fields, ancient forests, and snow-capped mountains. At its heart lies Eldoria Castle, a majestic stronghold that stands as a symbol of the kingdom's peace and prosperity. The castle, with its towering walls and commanding view of the surrounding landscape, has long been the seat of the noble House Alden.

The Rulers

King Alden III: Known as 'the Unconventional,' King Alden is a middle-aged ruler with a greying beard and a physique honed by years of knightly training. Despite his restless mind, he is loved by his people for his bravery and wisdom.

Queen Elara: The much younger and fitter second wife of King Alden. She has not produced any heirs, but the kingdom is abundant with the king's eleven daughters from his previous marriage.

Prince Aric: The eldest son and heir to the throne, Prince Aric is a valiant knight dedicated to protecting his kingdom and securing its future.

The Conflict

The peace of Eldoria is threatened by the dark sorcerer Malakar, who seeks to plunge the kingdom into chaos and darkness. Using his dark magic, Malakar has summoned an army of skeleton warriors to weaken Eldoria's defenses and spread terror across the land. The prophecy foretelling Malakar's rise has been ignored by King Alden, leading to the current dire situation.
