Time of the First Spark

In a time when Witches and Wizards were first experimenting and recording magic, a powerful wizard was able to summon a being from another world. Believing her to be an messenger from the gods, the sorcerers guided her, teaching her their ways. She brought knowledge and enlightenment to all and soon they made her their Queen. Over the course of many decades, the royal family took the monopoly on witchcraft, defining what kind of magic was right and wrong. And every spell ever conceived was written down in the Forbidden Book. It was locked away and constantly guarded.

Dawn of a new heir

The King of the 24th generation was looking for a wife. Meanwhile, (dark lord), the king's childhood friend and confidante, was posted as guard to the Forbidden Book. When no one was looking, he would read it's content, everyday gaining more knowledge and power, but staying away from the dark spells.

One day, the King fell in love with a beautiful woman and made her his Queen. (dark lord) became infatuated with her as well, but in fidelity to his best friend, did nothing to seduce her.

Years later, the King and Queen had a baby girl. (dark lord) spent many days teaching the young princess how to yield a sword. Meanwhile, tensions are rising between creatures of light (elves) and creatures of night (ogres, gobelins). Until one day, the queen was found dead in a pool of her own blood in her bedroom. The kingdom mourned at their loss.

When he learned of her death, (dark lord) desperate to bring her back, looked at the dark magic spells in the book. That's when he learned of the truth behind the royal conspiracy. He went to confront the King, blaming him for his wife's assassination. He said nothing to defend himself. Instead, the King banished him from the kingdom, stating ¨I do not wish to harm you, old friend. But you know to much. Run and never come back.¨ He ran, taking the Forbidden Book with him.

The King went to his balcony that night and proclaimed that the gobelins were to blame for the killing of their Queen. He declared war on all Creatures of the night.

The war

The kingdom was divided in two. Camps full of soldiers were stationed along the border. For the first time in centuries, magic was being used to fight and bring harm. Years passed, and it all came to a close when the leader of the dark creatures challenged the King himself to fight. Their battle was long and gruesome. Helmets were knocked off, and the King realised he was fighting his former friend. (dark lord) took his surprise as an advantage and impaled him.

The Second Summoning

A few years later, the Princess is old enough to command the troops. They are regaining territory, so Dark Lord summons someone worthy to follow his footsteps. He wants to take her as an apprentice so she can take his place/armor when he dies. She doesn't want to. She's scared and hates him for summoning her and wants to go back home. They grow to have a weird father/daughter relationship.

The Final Battle

Protagonist will have to defeat the 7 knights before fighting the Princess herself. She is obviously traumatised and guilty by her first kill. Before that happens however, Dark lord grows ill and dies. At first she only did what he wanted so she could go home, but she had grown close to him. She shaves her head and puts on a adjusted version of his suit of armor.
