Rosseuxus roses and ravens

What will you do when your child is condemned because of a simple folk tale.  Will you accept their beliefs and kill your child for the nation? Or will you ultimately stand against the people and fight for what is truly right?  Will they accept the arcane? Will they trust their instinct?  In the once feared nation aetheris. Betrayal was the last thing their new heir sought to receive. Once tortured by his father ascharius kreinheart. He promised to bring light into the blood soaked streets. Yet human ignorance and their neglectful behavior pulls the king into a cross road where he has to believe the people, but also his own family. Through empty promises and his own dark sea, he has to face the fact that he must harden himself and rule with absolute authority. Will he and his betrothed be able to turn the tides? Or is It already on its tipping point? All always returns to the ocean of blood eventually.
