### 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞

Mari lives a life of luxury as the princess of Camelot, and she loves every moment. But she has no idea that things aren't as perfect as she thought they were. The Merlin of Camelot is dead, and now the Dark Enchantress makes her first visible move in years.

Mari finds herself kidnapped by an assassin who owes his soul to the enchantress, left with nothing but a ratty ballgown. Even so, an unlikely friendship begins between the two. Mari and Everek set out to stop Morgana once and for all and to bring about the change needed in Camelot.

But what can they do without the help of a Merlin?

### 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐤𝐲

When the nobles of Camelot start pushing for an arranged betrothal for their princess, Mariposa, she isn't sure what to think. Upon meeting the three princes of Eyrie her feelings about it only grow worse. Confused and a little hurt, Mari disappears, leaving all of Camelot in shock and unrest. But Mari has uncovered something deep in Eyrie... something that they thought was long dead...

### 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐞

The kingdom of Avalon is facing all-out extinction, and they know it. If the fae overtake Camelot, then all is lost, perhaps even the age of mankind itself. Princess Mariposa is still searching for a way to peacefully end the argument, but it seems as if all those doors are closing. Time before the full-on siege is running out, and the bitter enemies locked in an age-old war are on the brink of yet another conflict.

It's going to take a lot more than just help from old allies and former enemies, it's going to take sacrifice.

## Background

### The World of 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞

#### Locations

Disquietude takes place in a world quite similar to our own medieval period, where magic and fae creatures are very real parts of life. There are many city-states and small countries that are controlled and led by the three superpowers of the world.

##### Avalon

A kingdom purged of most magic many years ago, Avalon is ironically named after an island in the center of its great lake- the infamous home of witches and sorceresses. The purge happened hundreds of years in the past, due to a dispute between the fae and the humans, a battle that supposedly left the fae extinct. Keeping up the hypocrisy of human nature, the kingdom fully relies on the silver-wisped wizard, Merlin, and those who are reincarnated with his arcane power, to work alongside their king to protect and lead the entire country.

##### Eyrie

Often called the kingdom of peace, Eyrie is well known for its wild magic, peaceful nature, and jolly king Phobus. Unlike its sister kingdom Avalon, Eyrie allowed magic to thrive, resulting in many magicians, alchemists, and scientists living within its borders. The land doesn't bother them and most of the time they don't bother it. Because they chose to not have a purge, Eyrie slowly but surely began to rely (not on its military force) but on its relation to the other kingdoms.

##### The Triieran Queendom

Unlike its fellow powerful nations, the Triieran Queendom is a single city-state located in the center of a vast desert that runs completely on resources found in the many underground caves surrounding it. Besides their strange taste in architecture, modernized clothing, and secretive weapons, the Queendom is ruled by three queens on the Tri Thrones who raise their successors as if they were all mothers of each child. Triieran heirs are set aside if they are male, to remain powerful members of society yet uneligible for the thrones, while the female heirs are trained in practically everything by their "mothers" to one day take the throne.

#### Species

##### Humans

While humans are not as wide a category as the fae, humans come in many different shapes and sizes. Although they all have very similar biology, magic is far less common when it comes to humans and even those who study it for years may not be called by this unyielding force. Humans strive for companionship and find comfort and safety living together in cities and farm country, and tend to have very similar leadership systems.

##### Fae

The fae is a term that serves as a title for many creatures, not just the dryads, naiads, nymphs, Cartholans, and Tuatha de Dannann (who bare a similar image to humans) but refers to any being with fae magic in their veins. This encompasses giants like the treants yet goes all the way down to small plants.

### Names of Importance

#### The Dark Enchantress

For hundreds, perhaps thousands of years, the Dark Enchantress has terrorized Avalon with her dark magic. When Merlin began popping up in history books, so did his opposing rival, Morgana. While Merlin stands for light and justice, Morgana is a pure example of broken-hearted darkness. The silver-wisped wizard takes on a single student, the next reincarnation of the arcane power, while Morgana offers her darkness to anyone strong enough to take it... for a price of course.

#### The Tuatha de Dannann

Hundreds of years ago, when the fae were still thriving throughout the continent they were led by the purest race of fae magic, the Tuatha de Dannann. These powerful fae that had both tactical minds and drew upon the magic of the fae surrounding them to amplify it were known as the fae's protectors. Until the last of them was thought to have died protecting them from the forces of Avalon...

#### Merlin

The light to Morgana's dark, Merlin is more of an idea than a singular person. The first Merlin, whom the others are all connected to, was an arcane sorcerer and even after his death his power can't seem to die out. After each Merlin dies a new Merlin emerges, not the same person of course, but one chosen by the arcane power to manifest Merlin's abilities and protect Avalon alongside its king. The current Merlin of Avalon is Morgana's former assassin, Everek.
