The last shimmer of otherworldly light winks out, depositing you onto cobblestones warmed by a twin‑sun sky. Around you rise pale stone castles adorned with spiraling frescoes, their silhouettes broken by the occasional glide of a dragon. The streets are patrolled by women—muscular, scarred, wearing armor more for utility than coverage, their authority palpable. In the shaded archways, slender men in fine linens quietly mend cloaks or pore over glowing runes. The very air thrums with latent magic, a power accessible in theory yet fiercely difficult to command. You have arrived in a matriarchal order where roles are inverted but society thrives in balance. How did you come to be here, and what history do you carry with you?
