In an alternate universe, kingdoms and clans still scatter the earth, majestic and dangerous beasts roaming the land. Each beast is born with an owner it is destined to have. The exceptions to this rule are beasts that’s owners are not of age yet (spanning 16 to 19 years of age), their owners have passed away, or they have not found an owner yet or refuse to have one.
Your nobility and status as a civilian is mostly measured by the power of your beast. If your beast is a measly barn animal, you’re most likely a peasant. If your beast is a healthy, strong lion, you may be among the rich socialites. However, royals get the best of the best. Royals are born with most powerful beasts imaginable.

For the most part, it is unknown what decides which beast you have. Yet, it is still important to note that while you can end up with a weak beast for no discernable reason, only people with great character have been known to keep a more powerful beast. If someone with bad character owns a great beast, it can be assumed there is some type of witchcraft or thievery going on below the surface.
We start our story in the great, prosperous, and very snowy Querencia Kingdom, located just below the Aethelinda Mountain Range, where the most powerful beast to ever walk the earth rests in a cave in the tallest mountain.
