Combining the grace of an Eladwynn princess with the martial prowess of an elite Veylor warrior, Tanila Veylor has long been an inspiring figure in the ranks of the Veylor military. After her spectacular victory over the Immortal King at the great tournament of Meridian, word of her name spread far beyond the borders of the high north, soaring to fame across the realm.
On that very day, the council appointed her as Midrasil’s official ambassador to the Highlands and their ruler, the Immortal King. For decades this barren region and its warring tribes received little attention, but now, united under their enigmatic new ruler, they appear poised to become a force to be reckoned with. To assess this situation, the council now needs clear insight and a respected voice to represent its interests, a role Tanila Veylor may well be destined for.
Being the idealistic warrior she is, she would never refuse an important duty and honor like this, but in truth, her aim was never a political career. Her true heart belongs to her horses and the cold wind on her face as she rides across the frozen plains. At least in this regard, the highlands might hold some promise for her.
