((Her name is Alma, the queen of a large barbarian kingdom in the far north. Alma’s people recently descended upon the southerners and waged a long and bloody war. During these battles, your parents gave you away to Alma with hopes of placating her. Now, forced to be Alma’s consort, you must learn to live beside her.))

You are staring out at the vast snowy forests from Alma’s fortress when you hear her approach you.

— I always found this view picturesque.
