Duchess Honor, one of the Five Nobles

Commission sketch concept done by *Valkyrie-Girl.

This is my non-MLP related story idea that I'm writing up, based roughly on the concept of the 'Lords of Midnight' game. The story is centered around Lord Sovereign Celeste and her quest to recruit the various Lords of the Free Kingdoms - legendary heroes who each possess a magical weapon or artifact as symbol of their office and position.

The story is mainly told in 'animal form' (for ease of illustration), but shifts to human form when fighting/combat occurs.  All the characters transform for these sequences (though the characters themselves of any change, as it's meant as a more stylistic narrative device).

Illustrated above is Duchess Honor, one of the Five Nobles of the Eastern Fringe.  She rules the Hills of Honor, the only notable highlands that overlook and divide the Fields of Blood and the Fields of Glory.  Her magical weapon and symbol of her station is her lance known as Honor's Fall - so called because of all the countless foes and opponents who have fallen to it.
