Synotra is the first-born child and only daughter of the king and queen of the Hakaoh kingdom. She is still young, but speaks eloquently and there is hardly a time when she is not serious. She takes her position and duties very seriously and can be seen as stoic and rather cold to others around her. She has been taught not to show emotion, as it can be detrimental to her and ruin her reputation if the people see. It is a weakness in the house of royals, and she treats it as such.

When the queen was killed, Synotra was too young to step up and take her place as a ruler. Her father remarried, much to the princess’s dislike. She was still devastated by the loss of her mother, and the people seemed to echo her thoughts. The new queen was not well accepted, and soon fighting broke out among the people.

Groups and factions wrestled for attention and support as people joined sides, dividing the country further. The entire kingdom was in danger of falling apart when the queen struck a deal with Valakr, the king of Arijolnir. His son and the princess of Hakaoh were to be married in order to secure and stabilize the kingdom.

Having been raised traditionally, Synotra understands why this needs to happen and the importance of it. She is more than willing to sacrifice and offer herself for the sake of the country if needs be, and she has accepted that it must be done. The prince of Arijolnir, however, sees this situation in a completely different light.

Despite everyone’s attempts to convince him otherwise, Loki is adamant about not wanting to go through with the marriage. He refuses to say why, and his uninterest has become a subject of worry for both kings and queens of each of the kingdoms. Synotra knows his reasoning; there is another viscet, Sigyn, who he panders after. He wants nothing to do with the princess, and though Synotra tries desperately to get him to understand, to make him see the reason why it needs to happen, he won’t have it.

Over the months as the two rulers of Hakaoh continue with preparations, Loki becomes harder and harder to find, and it gets to the point where Synotra cannot find him at all. She is at a complete loss, and her anxiety and stress that had been building up over this whole situation come spilling out one night. Someone sees her in the middle of this and begins to spread rumors about how the princess and the kingdom isn’t ready for something like this. The king and queen’s hold over the people weakens as more and more believe that the unification between Hakaoh and Arijolnir is doomed to fail.

On the inside of the palace, the king and queen are frantically trying to keep everything together while still searching for the prince. Their searches are unfruitful until Synotra sees Loki with Sigyn weeks later, only for both of them to disappear from the country entirely. The citizens of Hakaoh blame Arijolnir for purposely sabotaging the marriage in order to keep Hakaoh from being a part of their council, and it isn’t long before the two countries divided. Things get worse, morals weaken, and the people grow angrier with every passing day.

A war is iminent.

Synotra and her parent’s attempts to find the prince were in vain, and it isn’t long before one of the sides take action. Fighting breaks out between the two countries, and both kingdoms plunge into chaos. This goes on for months, with no sign of relent. The rulers of both are killed in battle, which shakes the people, stopping the fighting for just a few days once the news reaches them. Seeing the need for an authority figure, Synotra steps up and takes control of Hakaoh.

Under her rule, she is able to pull the government together into a semi-stable manner, and continues to search for the prince and his lover, almost sickeningly desperate for revenge for what happened to her home, her kingdom, and her parents.
