Of Lofty Outcasts

<p><em>Is there anything so cruel as a crowd?</em></p><p>Even in a kingdom so hateful as Lyria you can find those trying for better. But like all lofty treasures you'll find you have to search.</p><p></p><p><em>Is there anything so foul as betrayal?</em></p><p>Far to the north and west a freedom fighter navigates a razor thin balancing act between hunting for a traitor within her inner circle and the far more esoteric necessities of trust.</p><p></p><p><em>Is there anything so wicked as love?</em></p><p>Across the kingdom a priest turned pickpocket bends to a desire she feels no right to follow and makes an altruist's mission her own.</p><p></p><p><em>Is there anything so callous as a cycle?</em></p><p>Beyond love and betrayal a shadow grows behind two moons.</p>
