Gurad
Author: jonnJonnz
In the fractured world of Gurad, where political and economic systems have collapsed, a radical councilor's bid to forge a new order from the ruins forces everyone—from the highest official to the lowest stablehand—to choose a side. As resources vanish and trust shatters, the struggle to rebuild becomes a tense drama of survival, where cooperation is vital but ambition, loyalty, and memory threaten to tear the city apart for good. Characters The Council & The Palace * Sage: A radical councilor and the story's protagonist. He believes the old system is beyond saving and must be completely reset, no matter the cost. * Lady Selenthis: The Defense Minister and Sage's love interest. She is torn between her personal feelings and her duty to maintain order and protect the state's institutions. * Chairman Ciren: The authoritative mediator of the council, struggling to hold the fracturing body together. * Odran: A measured but deeply skeptical councilor. He is a master of political calculation and the primary opposition to Sage's radical vision. * Sevra: An analytical councilor who fears the chaos of Sage's "Reset" more than the flaws of the current system. * Yriel: A cautious enforcer, aligned with the old guard and quick to see threats to the established structure. * Thane: A stoic observer, who speaks rarely but whose support is crucial. * Velith: A coldly calculating planner, always weighing the odds and his own position. * Aurix: A hot-headed traditionalist who views Sage's ideas as blasphemy against the city's foundations. * Jaren Voss: The corrupt Resource Manager, whose actions are a catalyst for the central conflict. The Commoners * Bora: A young, pragmatic stablehand for the palace. His journey from obedient servant to reluctant revolutionary provides a ground-level view of the city's upheaval. * Taru: Bora's friend and fellow stablehand, providing camaraderie and a contrast in perspective. * Eva: Bora's fiercely independent friend who operates a market stall. She is a catalyst for change, openly questioning the system Bora quietly endures.
