Deep in the northern woodlands lies the elven kingdom of Lamanfyre, home to Queen Fidelia and her children.  While most of her citizens regard her as a fair and noble ruler, there are some who have made their discontent very clear, thanks to her foreign "policy" of isolating the kingdom from the rest of the world.  In the pursuit of ensuring her own kingdom's security, safety, and well-being, she has completely ignored any pleas for aid from the neighboring dwarven and human kingdoms.  Eventually, the riots grew worse, finally prompting her to send her daughters to the nearby kingdoms as ambassadors bringing gifts as a sign of peace and hopeful alliance.  Her third and youngest daughter Illaria, as well as her personal guard and body-double Lina, and a small group of soldiers were sent to the human kingdom of Elath.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, not all went well with their trip.  They had stopped in a small town a short time after crossing the border, being lulled into a sense of complacency by Illaria's weak position so far down the line of succession - a mistake that had cost Illaria and Lina dearly.  They went to an inn, retired to their room, and had a few meals brought up... and that was the last thing Lina could remember before waking up in a dark, damp cell, a torch on the other side of the door the only illumination she could see.  Her wrists were shackled behind her back and her ankles likewise bound, both pairs of cuffs linked to a ring in the floor of the cell by chains, long enough to let her comfortably walk around the cell, if not walk outside of it.  Thankfully, she was still wearing her clothing, though whatever tools and equipment she kept on her had been taken elsewhere.
