Prologue 1: The Prince


 * It is the middle of the night. A prince, who has yet to fall asleep, is staring up at the top of his poster bed, thinking about the various looming crises in his head. The top of the bed is adorned with a pattern of stars.


 * A polite but forceful knock rouses the prince, who goes to see what they want. The messenger informs him that there are some urgent matters that must be attended to, and that his advisors are waiting. The prince quickly dresses and follows the messenger. The Prince notices the messenger looks just about as tired and sleep deprived as he is, yet is fully clothed. "You didn't sleep?" he asks the messenger. "No. Not so much for a week or so." "Yeah, me too," referencing a shared trauma.


 * The Prince arrives in the castle's great hall, emptied of its normal hustle and bustle in the dead of the night. Present are a military advisor, political advisor, and maybe even his wife. The prince asks what the news is, but there is some confusion about to which news he is referring, not realizing that there are several major developments that must be addressed.
