UPDATE!

Great love of Mage-Lady Orphelia of the Fifth Sphere, Count Froech has dedicated his life to knowledge. His most notable accomplishment was that of the Great Library of Nara, the building of which took nearly two decades and a million gold shields. The two spent a great amount of time there amongst the books, and everyone knew that she was the only person to whom he would speak. When that fell, he nearly lost hope, but she had provided him a map to a lost library of the great Sorcerer Kings. _He raised an expedition into the Barony of Cull, where he and the Mage-Lady found ancient treasure and enlightenment.

She wished to marry before she left, but he believed her travel to Courthaven would give Nara time to prepare for the grand event.

Her Arcane Highness truly loves him, but had given her town to Hela, carried Talan’s soul, become cursed by the Gods, betrothed herself to an enemy, and been unfaithful. …it never seemed she could be.

With sorrow and hope, she sent her servant, Helene, to break their engagement due to her shame. Truthfully, she couldn’t allow her tarnished reputation near him.
