Welcome to the beautiful kingdom of Beckonsgale. In resides on a small planet in the far reaches of space, unknown to all other life forms but those on the planet. Beautiful woods and prairies cover the plant's ground and clear blue rivers, streams, and lakes run through the land. In the sky are the planets two suns and two moons. There are many towns in the kingdom of Beckonsgale. Some towns are large then other but they all have an importance to the kingdom, whether it is a simple farming town or the capital city, Riverbend. There is no electricity or any technology. The people get around on foot, horse drawn carriage, or on horse back and they use the sun and candle for light. The kingdom is ruled by the royal family, King Benjamin and Queen Annabelle. At the moment, there is no heir to the thrown since the royal family has no children. In fact, no one in the kingdom of Beckonsgale has children, at least no blood related children. Instead, a few selected families are chosen each year to receive a child from the Beyond, or the outside world. The children are selected by the royal family and their advisers and are then brought to the kingdom. The age of the children vary depending on the age the chosen family desires as do the gender. The children are given to their new family and continue their lives in the kingdom, having no contact with anyone from their past life.
Another thing about the kingdom of Beckonsgale, is that everyone, at all times, wears a mask. The only time the mask is taken off is to sleep but they must be put back on as soon as the lights are turned on. Each mask is slightly different and it is how people recognize who you are and what rank you are. A high ranked person, like the royal family or their advisers, wear very high-class, fancy masks while slave were cheap, dirty masks. The people of the kingdom have been wearing masks for many years now, some believe they were wearing the masks since the kingdom first rose to power. Since there are no rival kingdoms or civilizations, Beckonsgale is a very peaceful and serene kingdom. It has beautiful scenery, wonderful people, and no war or rivals. The royal family is kind and the rules are fair and just.
The time has come once again for new children to come to the kingdom. This year, the royal family has chosen six teens to come to the kingdom, three boys and three girls. One of them, will become a slave on a large farm outside the captial city. The second will become an apprentice to an artist, the third a servant to the royal family, the fourth will become a knight, the fifth an apprentice to a blacksmith, and the last will become the child of the royal family. All the teens will either be living inside or right outside the captial city. Each teen is between the ages 17 and 20, which is rare since the royal family normal chooses younger children to be brought to the kingdom. The teens must learn to adapt to the new rules of the kingdom and learn to live with their new families since there is no going back to what they used to be.
