[anchor]contents[/anchor]"A Crimson Storm" - Medieval Fiction / Fantasy Story |
A Crimson Storm is a story set on a large island, namely Storm Island, which is split into the North, ruled by the ancient, proud Elkspear family, and the South, ruled by the rich, influential Vostyren family - the two factions are divided by the treacherous Frontier Mountains, and for now they are content to co-exist peacefully, but trouble is brewing in all directions...
The savage, godless Skidejor reside on Skidejord Island to the north, a land of shadows and oppression, and they pose a continual threat in the form of raids, piracy, and maybe even something more sinister...
Some of the most powerful and respected lords on Storm Island have decided that King Godric Elkspear is unfit to rule over them, so they've decided to take matters into their own hands, with the help of some powerful friends...
Storm Island has never been a peaceful place, continually plagued with war and rebellion, yet now more than ever, in the year 497 AS, treachery and intrigue lies around every corner...
