Welcome to The Queen's Games, a future/AU Tortallan based forum headed by a Matriarchal Monarchy in the Queendom of Kalim. Gaining independence little more than a century ago, the Queen has been pushing for contact with Tortall and other lands to the east in the past decade. With the victor of the Games to win the Crown Princess's hand decided, the Darshani Empire has set its eyes on conquering Kalim and regaining power through force.
That popping sound you hear is the cbox! It's at the bottom of the page. Why not pop in and say hi?
Coming down from its January cold spike, the weather creeps up unusually warm for February, turning what would normally be frozen ground and light snows into a slushy wet mix throughout the country. This creates poor travel conditions throughout the country: avalanches in the north and roads so muddy they threaten single mounts and caravans alike.
Rosalyn Flygg
New member Rozzy has taken a dive straight into QG's deep end, landing a powerful character in perhaps the most complex niche - the rook council - and she is owning it. Rosalyn is an alluring and dangerous woman - cougar, hex mage, councilwoman, and to add a layer of complexity, mother. We look forward to seeing if her cool demeanor cracks in the face of the storm brewing in Kalim's underworld.
Baldassare Ulande
While it's nearly Gwyn's hallmark to play gloriously off-the-wall characters, Dassa's disturbed past and somewhat barbaric heritage make him downright ballsy. Playing a necromancer is a risky move, in and out of character. Though he runs the risk of being ostracized and shunned for the nasty nature of his work, with the body count rising in Havran, those who need an advantage ignore him to their peril.

In a matriarchy set over a hundred years after the Song of the Lioness, Kalim is the last free country on a continent that has been absorbed by the ravenous Darshani Empire. A tournament to win the hand of the crown princess has just ended, with its first ever foreign victor, but the country is beginning to feel the aftermath. Factions from every walk of life imaginable--underworld criminals, dissatisfied nobles, even Darshani royalty--had entered, trying to push their causes to the forefront of the royal agenda, and many are now looking to achieve their goals through force, manipulation, or other means. No one ever said the Games would stay in the arena.
