50 years after the war now known as the "war for justice." With the Empire of Ires conquering the kingdom of Morit and slaying King Eris, another war looms on the horizon. Arta, an independent kingdom formed from the ruins of Morit, led by a new council of necromancers composed of former Morit nobility, resists the rule of the Empire and their united army of beastmen.
The former Kingdom of Morit used necromancy for all hard work, which was normal for its citizens, the knowledge that after their own death they will continue to be an important part of the kingdom was not a reason to worry, besides, the families in which the death happened received compensation, and the undead service lasted only 10 years, otherwise the kingdom would be in danger of overpopulation. Undead service was the official reason for the war with the Empire.
10 years ago, a family of refugees from the Istast of the former Morit province, now part of the "Holy Kingdom", came to the Kingdom of Arta. The "Holy Kingdom" cooperated with the Empire in the "Justice War." Into this family was born a girl with crimson eyes like Ori's moon, hair the color of elvish silver, and her name sounded like a poem from distant lands.
"Eisa" called her mother Tenya.
Eisa knew it was her turn to help her mother with dinner. "I'm coming." Called Eisa running down the stairs, looking towards her older brother's room. "Mom won't be happy about this." She thought, well understanding her brother's reluctance.
Eisa was not a normal child, aside from her exotic appearance compared to most of Arta's Kingdom. Eisa had memories of her previous life as Henry, who was an aspiring writer, or so she thought of herself. Until the day of her tragic death. Eisa did not know much about the world due to the Imperial way of teaching, which was designed to smother any hopes of liberating Morit, even 50 years after its conquest. What she found extremely funny was the name of the empire and Kingdom of Arta, which reminded her of fragments from a book she once wrote.

When Eisa finally reached the kitchen, she was reprimanded by her mother.
"You were supposed to wake up your brother."
“I'm sorry mom, but Anton said he's not going to join the army, and I'm not supposed to wake him up.” Eisa said sadly.
Tenya sighed, "When your father returns from duty, he will force him to serve in defense of the kingdom." She said then started peeling potatoes.
Without further upsetting her mother, Eisa started peeling potatoes, wondering about the fate of the war she blamed the empire for, feeling powerless.
Arges, the father of Eisa and Anton, was sent to the battlefront a month ago, right after the council of necromancers took over the former capital of Morit and announced the birth of the Kingdom of Arta. His return was to take place in a few days for the rotation of soldiers and regrouping, in this rotation Anton brother of Eisa as he was already 15 years old was to join the army.
Some time later, Anton quietly came down the stairs smelling a curious smell that woke him up coming from the kitchen, he saw Eisa setting the table. “Riste again?” He said loudly, not hiding his disappointment. Riste was a simple dish consisting mainly of potatoes, it was a popular dish among the middle-class population of the "Behenia" continent due to its favorable growing conditions.
Anton Eisa's older brother always had a penchant for arcane arts and the dark history of Morit, but always remained secretive about the subject due to his utter lack of any magical talent, yet insisted that the best way he could serve the kingdom would be if he became a mage.
After lunch, Eisa set off towards the school, passing the market on the way, where she played with Taru her furry friend more than once. “Hmm Taru must have left earlier.” Eisa thought. Since the founding of the Kingdom of Arta, Eisa's daily lessons have changed drastically, no longer under the rule of the Empire, her teachings were dictated in a direction that was intended to strengthen the society of the Kingdom of Arta. On that day, she had an exam in basic magic and a written exam in Morit's history, which was to test the knowledge of young people about the kingdom and its neighbors.
