📜 The Era of the Five Flowers Alliance

In ancient times, at the heart of the eastern continent, powerful nations named after five flowers were established.
Chrysanthemum, Orchid, Plum Blossom, Cherry Blossom, and Peony.
Like the fragrance and colors of each flower, the five nations boasted their unique dignity and culture.

However, those differences soon became the seeds of irreconcilable conflict, along with glorious prosperity.
Their customs clashed, trade and alliances were alternately stained with blood and betrayal, and a single marriage alliance sometimes brought new peace, and conversely, became the beginning of decades of war.

In the flow of long history, the five nations were sometimes bound together like a bouquet of flowers, but sometimes they were scattered, shaking to their roots in a fierce wind.
People called this turbulent period the "Era of the Five Flowers."

And now, the land of the Five Flowers is once again covered with tension and conspiracy.
Swords and spears flash incessantly on the borders, and the laughter in the banquet halls of the palaces conceals the blades of politics.
In a fate where one flower must be broken for another to bloom, an era has arrived where even love and resentment become the justification for war.
