Synopsis

Schedule: Every Wednesday at 5:00 PM PST In 258 HF, tragedy strikes the kingdom of Hailgalad as a pandemic decimates its capital city of Hailgrad. The king and queen, Edward and Melanie, have died and their only child, Edwin, must take up the mantle as king to lead his people.  As the people of Hailgalad search for answers as to how and why such tragedy occurred, Edwin discovers that not all of the governors of the Hailgalad provinces are supportive of his succession. In particular, Helewise, of the shipping province, Mendale, and Sylvester, the late king's childhood friend-turned-rival and governor of the southern Iron Mountain, look to undermine him at every turn. Tensions rise between Edwin and the two unruly governors when a rider arrives from the northern fort-town of Frostwatch. The rider brings news of an external threat that seeks to destroy the entire kingdom of Hailgalad. Edwin must unite his people, against all odds, to ensure their survival, as well as that of the kingdom.
