Synopsis: Many years after the fall of civilization, well, sort of... a young noble woman from Michigonia is sent for to wed the son of a reigning leader of his people. They need heirs. So, she gets married immediately and turns out to be far from the image that her new husband had imagined his wife to be; forthright, willing to produce multiple sons and daughters, and a warrior to boot.
In the thirtieth year of the reign of the Empress Lakeisha the Second, there lived in the Fortress of The Royal Oak a noble man of high moral standards and values. He was a loyal servant to his Empress and was much loved by his people and the court of Her Imperial Majesty where she reigned at her palace in Joliet.
His name was Darnel, but it was his father’s name as well, so the people knew him as Darnel the Younger. He was a pious and Christian man who gave often to the church and made certain the poor in his lands where met with their basic needs.
Darnel had been appointed to the aristocracy early in his life, as he was noble born. His father, Darnel the Elder, only had two sons: Elwood and Darnel. Elwood took the cloth and was tonsured a monk at the monastery founded by St. Howard the Illuminator at the holy city of Detroit.
He would send letters to his family every Christmas and his father would send him funds to help support the monastery and to say prayers for all of them. The elder Darnell learned the art of war from his father and protected the lands entrusted to him by the empress.
This was years after The Fall, where the Elders had lost their minds and waged ceaseless war on each other. In the aftermath of the fire, which had rained down from the sky in many parts of the world, civilization had retreated into the darkness of ignorance and poverty. Only in a few lands did the light of wisdom of understanding burn bright.
The empress’ domain extended beyond the length of the great lakes in the interior of the northern continent, but her authority did not reach very far. Her people where constantly threatened by raids from the barbarian hordes every year from the island of Manhattan and their allies in the lost lands of Columbia.
It was left to her appointed masters of arms to organize the defense of the realm against the hordes who threatened to overrun it. In the spring every year the raids would increase in hostility until the savage primitives retreated to their hovels in abandoned buildings. They lived in an abandoned city, which once held the state offices of a government that had ceased to function hundreds of years ago.
Every year the Patriarch of Michigonia would hold a solemn service for Her Majesties’ forces as they prepared to march against the barbarian hordes. After the Divine Liturgy of Earl had been recited by the Patriarch and his bishops, the faithful would adjourn to the balcony of the cathedral to hear Her Majesty read a speech against the hordes which threatened her domains.
Some years, the forces of the empress would prevail and she would capture more land, other years, the barbarians would push inward and send the farmers she protected fleeing into interior.
Early in the summer one year, as the farmers were preparing their crops
