VERSE EDITS : FIVE CROWNS !

thousands of years ago, the land on which seven princedoms now sit was conquered. time and history have blended the people so much that these old distinctions mean less... but never nothing. the central princedom of satria holds the most power and its most prominent families have a nearly unbroken lineage; it is not the only princedom for which this skewed system of power exists. eight hundred years ago, the coastal princedom of meles saw its ruling family nearly wiped to extinction by their southern neighbors. power was seized from a bloodline that had guarded their people for tens of thousands of years. meles’ scatterflows were driven into hiding as demana’s tastonis solidified their extended reach. now, for elsie scatterflow, these are just stories and secrets. things she can never share. until the tastonis discover them on their modest farmstead. until five siblings divide into groups of three and flee in opposite directions - north, south, west, anywhere but east to their homeland. elsie and her brother flynn have sought refuge in the incredible walled city of estralia, where they live as elsie & flynn brightmore among the eclectic folk of an artisan’s workshop. following threads that hint at magical abilities they’re only just beginning to understand, a forgotten lineage from a time more distant than they’ve ever thought about, and a repeat of history echoed in whispers about resistance, the scatterflow siblings are about to discover that their story is just one panel about a much larger battle still to come.    /    suitable for interactions within most general fantasy universes. this verse is based on the lore of an original novel i’m writing; i am extremely protective of it, and major alterations have been made to ensure the safety of crucial points in the story & lore. extremely heavily affiliated with @heroscarred.
