A LARP about going to war with your friends
A generation ago, war fractured the continent.
Two years before our story, people from across the Three Kingdoms were invited to join the Officers' Academy, where the luminaries of their nations could learn together and form bonds that would prevent the next conflict.
On the night of the graduation of the first class, war will break out.
Years later, after war between the Kingdoms reaches its pitch, the same class will meet again...
