[County of Orchiv, north of Crescenda.]
The castle of House Orchiv was a depiction of nature, with moonlight white marble, towers covering each corner, creating a hexagon on the several acres of land.
Every archway was draped in the shades of white, lavender, and deep violet orchids.
The castle, just like its estate, was silent. Iron gates stood open, but the homes beyond the outer walls were shuttered. Every civilian of Crescenda, alongside the cadets, resided within the bunkers, pubs rooms, on the expenses of Count of Orchiv under the rule of Giovanni Valante.
At the edge of the Orchid Courtyard, a line of dark carriages was parked.
They were sleek, pitch-grey lacquer reinforced with silver runes. Each carriage bore the same emblem on its doors…a slender crescent moon.
Holy knights of the lunar stood at attention beside them, their armour matched the black and silver, with cloaks trimmed with the same moon sigil.
