The King of the Fairy Realm, benevolent, wise and respected by his subjects, sat on his throne in the Royal Court in the centre of the great tree. After much deliberation, he proposed a challenge to his subjects and to all those willing; to venture forth on a quest to find his Queen and bring her back to him.

The news of the challenge reached far and wide. With the proclamation announced, champions from many lands took up the call. News of the proclamation reached even the dusty old corners of an Inn in the neighboring kingdom of Rosette. Finn the Bard, young and headstrong, packed his lute, his songbook and dressed in his travel clothes for the journey to the Fairy Realm.

And with that, Finn set out from his room at the Inn, over the mountains, to accept The King’s Challenge.
