Seven great houses keep a watchful eye from behind their high walls for their neighbors, who are as bloodthirsty as themselves. In days of war, they will stand shoulder to shoulder in the face of threat. In days of peace they will gladly be at each other's throats, killing for gold and power. There is no pity for those who are not part of the family. There is no help for those who are not part of your family. There is no respect for those who do not belong to your Great House. Only before their Lord will they bow their heads, exchanging loyalty for titles and medallions of magic. Of course, if he is not too weak, so that his power is taken by a stronger one. Such is the life of a domain divided by seven Lords who rule over the magic of the seven Beasts. And in such conditions, a simple guy from the street ends up in the capital’s academy as a servant. Unless, of course, you can call him a simple stepson of the night king of the city, assigned to guard the exchange pawn in the games of aristocrats.
