A marriage has been arranged between two kingdoms.  This marriage would give far-reaching power to a southern kingdom and end a long-running war.  Princess Sariah is the catalyst for this marriage.  She is a quiet princess from a kingdom far to the north.  You have been assigned as her personal guardian and guide in the journey south.  The journey will be a long one and your duty to the princess takes precedence over anything else.  But this will give you time to get to know this Princess of the Snow.
