The youngest son of the most powerful house in the Troll Kingdoms, Prince Karrel recently gained respect for forging an unexpected trade agreement that netted his family gems, furs, and a continuous supply of ice—a rare and precious commodity in his tropical homeland.

Concern over the ill omens of recent months has motivated Karrel to travel north again – this time to the Capitol of Archos. His friendship with certain nobles of Archos – notably Gräfin Ursula Mannpurtz – causes him to desire a unified defense among the nations.
