Tarlstal, a beautiful place with sprawling forests, a few beautiful lakes, and great rivers flowing across the country. The mountain ranges to the north and west create a natural border while the sea is a gateway for trade. Tarlstal is one of the most powerful countries of the magical world of Rad'mor.
Tarlstal was ruled by a very powerful Demon King, who would take a human bride when he ascended to the throne, to appease the humans. He would also take a demon concubine to ensure that a pure bred demon heir would ascend the throne, to appease the demons. The system worked well, and no one complained about how life turned out.
Then, everything changed. (Cliched I know). The Demon King was found dead in his bed, murder by some unknown culprit. The demons went crazy, spurred by the Demon Heir, blaming the queen for murdering their king. Demon law states that the Demon Heir cannot ascend to the throne unless he/she is of age. The current Demon Heir is not yet of age, so rule falls to the queen.
In a time of three weeks, the situation was bad. Demons, who believed the queen had killed the king, were bullying humans. The humans began defending themselves. In a desperate attempt to regain control of a raging demon population, the queen married quick, to put a king into place. That king was half-demon, and raised amongst humans.
The demons revolted, led by the Demon Heir, causing a rift to tear in the great kingdom of Tarlstal. The humans were angry that the demons were questioning their queen's honor, and the demons were angry because they believed that the humans had killed their king. The sides gathered and began to fight in the towns and along the countryside.
And somewhere in the midst of this full scale war, the Kraklikes, a foreign neighboring country, have decided to attack while the country is weakened. The other races refuse to help any of the sides. The sides have been chosen, the country is divided. Who will take Tarlstal? The humans, the demons, or the Kraklikes?
