Hey, peeps. This time… I don’t think I can go much farther without adding something about my current project.
The Bull and the Queen is set in a fictional, sword-and-sorcery setting of which I do not have a name for yet. So we shall simply call it ‘the World’. It’s a world in which the government is in a state most aptly described as ‘chaotic order’. [without the sorcery, most likely.]
The government originally had a King and a Queen, with four stewards to attend to the country in their absence. The Queen always chooses their Successor, because in the older days females were thought to be more trustworthy than males, with better judgment, even though the Successor had to be male. A youth named Lyxar was chosen by her on one condition – dispose of the King. He was ruining her plans, trying to help the petty commoners. The Queen had forgotten that she herself used to be a low-ranking citizen. If he accepted, it would throw things out of balance – no King, just the Queen and her Successor. Lyxar had the chance of a lifetime, the chance that would change his life, but with a terrible consequence.
He agreed.
That was twenty-eight years ago.
This is where that term ‘ordered chaos’ comes in. The Queen has stepped down, now just ruling through Lyxar. The King has seemed to disappear off the face of the earth. There is a small rebel Fortress… somewhere, but it will be stamped out, just like all the others. Right?
My Leads’ names are Adrin Iselm Russell an Kain Rhiell Tiplet. One’s in slavery and the other ran away from home two years prior and is now a common thief, though with some of the values of a warrior. One was kidnapped, and the other abandoned.
I can never do anything simply, can I?
That… was the synopsis, without the writing in bold, of course. XD A lot of people I know are confused by this [for some reason!] though this is probably the most comprehensive summary so far. So if you have any questions, just ask in the comments! Thanks for reading this ramble. Later.
