The kingdom of Stretos had been around longer than the others, but it wasn't considered a kingdom during those days. It was more of a "safe haven' for the unusual and the different.

The "unusual and the different" were what the people called shapeshifters. Those of the weak and closed-minded first called them witches and wizards thinking that they were doing it to scare the people, not because it was part of their DNA.

Killed, hunted, and trapped, they moved far into the forests and kept to themselves. People were afraid of what they could be.

In this case, Gozaydg, the ruler of the shapeshifters, could turn into a bear. And since they were "magic" per se they were twice as large as the normal animal was.

The king was fully intent on living his life by himself. He didn't need nor want the love that his sister had. He was content with being an uncle, but when a woman as equally shamed and abused falls into his life he may just make an exception.
