The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

Yana Zak hadn't been to Birkhall in a while but yet, duty called and before she truly set to those duties she wanted to see her family and she wanted to see her cousin. She was just arriving, leaving Graydust to the full treatment of the stables. She wasn't truly sure that Felicity would be present or if Tybalt had received her letter, but she requested that they know and were notified.
Upon her arrival she was ushered into a sitting room to wait, but she only remained in the room for a few minutes and when the staff cleared Yana exited the room to explore the old familiar estate. So she was actually surprised when she entered just one of many rooms, but one she had enjoyed being a little girl and exploring.
"Oh excuse me - I didn't," Yana was going to turn around and exit unless stopped.

Simon had been contained to Birkhall: away from his wife. From his children. They were safer with him away, he told himself, though his heart ached to have them so far away. Mercifully, Birkhall had a library of some substance—though not nearly what he was accustomed to at hte palace—so Kelton was able to provide him with some amount of diversion. Kelton: never had he appreciated the man so much until now. He was not just an assistant, but a stedfast companion.
It was in the small library that they sat now, Kelton reading to Simon as he sat. Perhaps a prouder man would have felt liek a child being given a bedtime story, but Simon had always had a thoroughly practical approach to his disability.
When he heard the unexpected voice, he startled. Kelton too, dropping the book to the table.
“Who is it?” Simon barked in his usual gruff tone.
Yana froze in the door way and she would stand at full attention like the soldier she was, "I'm sorry my lord," she tried to sound not like a mouse but Yana was just quiet, "Marchioness Yana Zakk, I just arrived from being in the south and was here to see my cousin Felicity," she cleared her throat explaining further, "I spent a lot of time in this room growing up, I didn't mean to interfere or interrupt anything..."
