Gioegia is a Tilean principessa or merchant prince at war with her rival Duce Alphonso.[1a]
In the turbulent realm of Tilea, Principessa Gioegia finds herself locked in a perpetual struggle against her cunning rival, Duce Alphonso. Amidst the never-ending local civil wars, Gioegia stands as a beacon of resilience against Alphonso's machinations.[1a]
As the tension escalates, Oglah Khan, a Hobgoblin mercenary captain in service to Gioegia became a pivotal figure in the unfolding conflict. Despite his current allegiance to the principessa, the khan's wavering loyalty to her threatens to disrupt the delicate balance of power. Sensing an opportunity, Alphonso seeks to exploit the khan's weak loyalties to his own advantage, devising a plan to manipulate him into betraying Gioegia's cause through the use of a band of highly persuasive adventurers.[1a]
