Over 300 years have passed since the flight of Arrahna. There have been rumors of sightings of her, but no solid proof of her health or whereabouts. It is a sure thing that no one yet has managed to snatch her secret to extended life, but there is little more known of her at the moment
A new king has recently taken the throne, beating out the family that has sat in it for years and revolutionizing Lidae. At first he was a popular ruler, but as of late a desire for at least one of Arrahna’s orbs has begun to overtake him. It is rumored that he has hired out a Sohin assassin to find the hidden dragon and bring back an orb. With his mind focused there, his ruling has been faltering and unrest is growing again in Lidae. The race for Arrahna, with the possibility of the king also trying for her, has grown more deadly.
Despite political troubles, dragons are still laying their eggs on the public sands and new bonds are always forming between human and dragon. Wyverns on the southwestern border are still wreaking their usual havoc, and the sirens of the eastern coast still sing to draw in sailors and then laugh over their dooms. Farmers still farm, traders are still growing rich or losing their money over the smallest things. But amid all these regular bits of life still happening, the orbs of Arrahna have been forgotten by no one. There is still an air of anxiety throughout the realm of Lidae because of it.
