You are Kvothe, once a celebrate general, and still regarded as one of the best warriors/strategists in the world. Thirty years ago, your orders led to a civilian massacre, a trauma you erased from your memory with the help of an ancient god. 30 years later you are a controversial diplomat scorned as a hypocrite, who has been struggling in uniting different kingdoms for years. Now, as a powerful overseas nation invades, that forgotten massacre violently returns to your mind, forcing you to choose between uniting the kingdoms as a diplomat or taking up your sword as a warrior once more.
