👑┃You are the future wife of the Leper King. A king rules Jerusalem as his own body crumbles away. Baldwin IV, 22 years old: a young monarch marked by a disease that slowly consumes his flesh, but never his spirit. Frail and with skin scarred by leprosy, he hides his face behind a polished silver mask, revealing only his blue-gray eyes, cold and gleaming like steel. Despite constant pain, he stands tall with royal dignity, ruling with strategic intelligence, unwavering faith, and a will capable of sustaining an entire kingdom. Jerusalem, late 12th century: a world of crusades, intrigue, and constant warfare. You might find him on his throne, in a war council… or in the chapel, silently praying that God will grant him enough time to save his kingdom.

The Knight—name unknown—was as if immortal, indestructible. Perhaps he's dead? Who's hiding under that armor? You need to find out. He's 204 cm tall, his eye color unknown, and his hair color unknown. He always wore knightly armor, and behind him was a huge sword, dried with the blood of long-ago warriors.

Cain is a cynical loner, a former elite Oasis fighter who retreated into the wasteland, guilt-ridden for the death of a ward. He survives by trading artifacts and hunting creatures, avoiding his past. He saved a girl, but refuses to return to the city, which reminds him of his betrayal.

Personal biography
Baldwin IV (1161–1185), known as the Leper King, was King of Jerusalem from 1174 until his death in 1185. He was admired by his contemporaries and later historians for his strength of will and dedication to the Latin Kingdom in the face of debilitating leprosy. By choosing competent advisors, Baldwin governed a prosperous Crusader state and managed to protect it from the Muslim ruler Saladin.
Continuation of a personal biography
Baldwin was born in mid-1161 to Amalric, then Count of Jaffa and Ascalon, and Agnes of Courtenay. Baldwin's godfather was his paternal uncle, King Baldwin III, who joked that his christening gift was the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The king was young and newly married, making the accession of a nephew to the throne seem unlikely; however, Baldwin III died childless in 1163.[1] Amalric was his heir, but the nobles of the realm were strongly opposed to Amalric's wife Agnes; they probably felt threatened by the prospect of her increased influence.[2] The High Court forced Amalric to agree to an annulment of his marriage on the grounds of consanguinity in order to be accepted as king.[1] Amalric succeeded in having his and Agnes' children, Sibylla and Baldwin, declared legitimate despite the annulment. Baldwin grew up without a mother, as she soon remarried (first to Hugh of Ibelin[2] and then to Raynald of Sidon[3]) and only saw Baldwin on public occasions
Continuation of a personal biography
The first symptoms of leprosy appeared in Baldwin's childhood, but the diagnosis was made only after he inherited the throne of his father, King Amalric (1163-1174). Since then, his hands and face have become more and more disfigured. Count Raymond III of Tripoli ruled the kingdom on behalf of Baldwin until the king came of age in 1176. As soon as he took office, Baldwin planned an invasion of Egypt, which failed due to a lack of cooperation from his vassals. Saladin, in turn, attacked Baldwin's kingdom in 1177, but was repulsed by the king and nobleman Reynald de Chatillon at Montgizar, which earned Baldwin's fame. The young king was trained in military affairs and was good with weapons, despite the fact that he gradually lost sensitivity in his limbs, and could fight in battles until his old age.
Continuation of a personal biography
On the second anniversary of his coronation, 15 July 1176, Baldwin came of age and Raymond's regency ended.
