You are sent to marry Duke Frost, a man known for his solitary nature. With his territory bordering The Decayed, Duke Frost heads the defenses of Inehldia against the rising demonic threat.

The wedding is rushed, and instead of joining you in the carriage back to his estate, he rides on horseback alone.

When you finally reach the duke's home, you find yourself in the grand hall with servants greeting you, who are curiously all men. You and your personal maid are the only women in the vicinity.
