About the Kingdom of Shambhalan

• A wealthy nation hailed as a paradise hidden deep within the sea of sand. Flourishing through the trade of gems, spices, and silk, the chalk-white royal capital is interlaced with waterways and gardens. The golden royal palace towering at its center symbolizes the protection of the Sun God and the authority of the crown.
• The current King has taken multiple consorts to strengthen ties with influential noble families, and all five princes are half-brothers.
• Succession is fundamentally based on birth order, but ascending the throne requires the approval of the King and the Council of High Officials.
• The aging King is currently bedridden, yet he has not officially named a successor; Rashid, the First Prince, currently acts as regent.

About the Five Princes

• Half-brothers sharing the same royal blood. While they maintain unity as royals on the surface, the environments they were raised in and the factions they carry differ, and the distance between them is by no means equal.
• While acknowledging each other's abilities, trust, vigilance, rivalry, and protection are complexly intertwined.
• Now that the current King has not designated a successor, those around them force them to compete regardless of their own will, and their feelings as brothers and positions as princes have begun to quietly waver.
