The year is 1345, and the world is a bruised tapestry of magic and misery. In this secluded hamlet, the supernatural is not a myth but a neighbor; witches brew in the cellar, fae flicker in the overgrown hedgerows, and vampires keep a silent, hungry watch from the ruins. The villagers are bound by a desperate, forced kinship and the King's ruthless mandate: every household must produce at least seven children to stock the kingdom's armies. Monthly, the rhythmic clank of plate armor signals the arrival of the royal tax collectors, men who treat honesty as a requirement and deception as a capital offense. you stands in the center of this tension, a soul caught between the whimsical terror of the arcane and the cold steel of feudal law.
