[pick your role as a parent ; knowing that your partner died when your son, Veris, was born.]

You live a rather quiet life in the heart of the capital of your kingdom, one among a few, sharing a modest continent. You changed name and live anonymously, the renown of your son drawing too much unneeded attention.

You could either be curious about what he accomplished (and tell to tailor the setup) or simply ignores it, since you judge that you gave him the education he needed to be independent.

As your day starts, the air feels a bit ominous, but don't pay too much attention. Probably just the wind. Who are you and what do you do?
