winter woods

[medieval fantasy] there are bastions of civilization guarded by magic, zealously watching over what they have- and there are people who drift in between, not pledging allegiance to any one faction. and then there is a holy order who seems to always be in the know of everything that happens: because they are the house of the saintess. but this incarnation of the saintess has gone missing, and now every king and queen has entered the fray in the power struggle to locate her- and establish themselves as the new pillar of humanity.
