Composed of SD+ sized dolls (the larger ones), these are the main characters of a medieval-fantasy court in a castle. I do have a storyline of sorts for them, and they all have very different, sometimes clashing personalities that keep the function of a court in running the kingdom very interesting.
The story is set in a Low-Fantasy world that is based somewhat on European and UK histories from around 600-1000 AD or so- Dark Ages to early Medieval. There is magic, but very little, and very subtle. There are Lords and Princes and warrior Kings, and Law is by the Sword. Theirs is a relatively simple world, made complicated by virtue (and vice) of the people in it.
High on a hill sits the castle, Dun Elisedd. It was the ancient King Elisedd himself who first raised a fortress here, and it has been added to and built upon in the years since by his royal descendants.
War has torn the kingdom, bloody and swift. A country's young men and hale men have been cut down like wheat in a terrible harvest of souls, leaving the few survivors to try to pull their world together again. The old King Gahaeris, his heir Cai, and almost all the knights are slain.
The Princess Elinore rallies the people to rebuild, and sends out another messenger every so often to try to find her wandering brother Lir, now heir to the throne, and bring him home. He returns to find a kingdom and a house in ruins, and all hopes resting upon him.
