The Chronicles of Treasure: A World of Blood and Gold
The 10th century is not an era of progress, but a funeral pyre for humanity. In Treasure, the world is a jagged landscape of fractured empires and secret orders, all clawing toward a single, whispered prize. But as the "Flames of War" consume the horizon, something far more ancient and predatory than human greed is beginning to stir in the shadows.
The Architect of Chaos
At the center of this storm is Tashi, a man whose cold gaze and lethal efficiency suggest a history written in scars. He is a hunter who operates with a chilling lack of empathy, treating kings like prey and armies like minor inconveniences. Tashi doesn't just survive in this brutal world; he dominates it through sheer, overwhelming violence. However, his motivations remain an enigma—is he seeking the "Treasure" for power, or is he driven by a much darker, personal vendetta against the very fabric of this era?
The Fallen Sovereign
Opposite him stands Rian, a king stripped of his dignity and left suspended at the mercy of his captor. Rian represents the old world—extravagant, powerful, yet ultimately fragile when faced with a force like Tashi. Forced into a humiliating disguise and dragged across his own dying kingdom, Rian is a man playing a desperate game of mental chess. He harbors a hidden "money" or resource that Tashi craves, but his internal monologue reveals a simmering, vengeful intellect. He isn't just a victim; he is a predator waiting for Tashi to blink.
A Kingdom of Dust and Deception
The setting is a stark contrast between the vast, lonely grasslands where blood is spilled in silence and the looming, intricate stone fortresses of the city. This is a "shitty kingdom" where loyalty is a currency that has long since devalued.
