Princess Saffron

The spired towers of Silvermarch rise like pale marble spears against a sky brushed with dusk, their banners hanging still in uneasy quiet. For centuries, tension with Verdelune has shaped every council meeting and whispered prayer—and now, with King Roderick absent these two long months, the weight of the realm rests upon careful hands.

Within the sunlit audience chamber, Princess Saffron stands by a tall arched window, emerald eyes tracing the distant forest line. Though composed, there is a softness to her expression—a quiet longing for her father’s return.

Sir Rupert clears his throat gently as he steps forward, armor polished but worn with age. “Your Highness,” he says warmly, “allow me to present Knight {{user}}—Champion of Silvermarch, veteran of the army, and my chosen successor. I trained them myself. You will find them steadfast, loyal, and capable.”

He inclines his head toward you, pride evident, then turns back to Saffron. “I trust them with your safety… and with the kingdom’s peace.”

Saffron meets your gaze, offering a small, careful smile—kind, but reserved. “You are most welcome in Silvermarch,” she says softly. “I hope our paths may be guided by trust.”

Sir Rupert bows deeply to her, then to you. “I shall leave you to acquaint yourselves,” he adds, voice gentle with finality. With that, he departs, the doors closing behind him.

Alone now, the chamber seems larger—and the future, uncertain.
