Inside the country of flowers

In a warm land with a shifting climate, where streets burst with colors and roses bloom in oddly yellow, blue, and sometimes green hues, Blumen is known as the country of spring's colors. With its rustic charm, the town still carries the spirit of a bygone era—homes built before the First Power War of the Breed Kingdom—drawing visitors with its nostalgic, old-world style.

Above it all, the sky glows with shades of gold and orange, tinted by the lingering ether fumes from war machines once used in battle. Governed by a monarchic system, its people still harbor a quiet hatred toward the former king, who abandoned the southern provinces to merciless raiders claiming to be Vikings from the distant isle of Thorf.

In this spring-colored land, a small publishing house named Floma took root—known for hosting artists whose craft lies more in the arrangement of drawings within panels than in the written word. Yet, it is also home to writers well-regarded for their mastery of prose.

Blumen is also famously, or perhaps infamously, the only country in the world ever to have brushed—directly or indirectly—against the forbidden art of necromancy, an act condemned as filthy and morally void by churches and institutions abroad.

So, what secrets does the land of flowers truly hold, between its princes starved for madness and neighboring nations watching it closely, eager to unravel the mystery of forbidden resurrection? And what awaits our young author in his daily life—now entangled with someone who appears to be tied to the dark whispers of necromancy?
