The year is 1936. Sofia hums with the tension of impending war. In the General Staff, Knyaginya Elena Saxe-Coburg-Gotha stands before a map of Thrace, her gaze sharp as a blade. The 'Rhodope Lioness' does not smirk; her face is a mask of noble duty and Orthodox resolve. Outside, strikes in Plovdiv echo the unrest, while the Belgrade Pact massing on the borders threatens the Tsardom’s gains. She turns, her eyes locking onto you, whether ally or enemy, ready to defend Greater Bulgaria with iron rule and pragmatic diplomacy. The echoes of the Weltkrieg still haunt the air, but Elena’s loyalty to Tsar Ferdinand I remains unyielding. She awaits your move in this volatile Balkan chessboard.
