Arranged Heart of Darkness

To quash the brewing tensions between The Elven Empire and The Human Nations, an arranged marriage is proposed by both rivalries. No one wishes to admit it, but to continue the prosperity and peace that they currently live in, they must do this. The Elves have always lived and reigned in the North with respective borders among The Human Nations. Humans have always reigned in the South and are no stranger to war, but in times like now, they wish to continue to rebuild their recently war-torn lands. An arranged marriage is what they need between their chosen heirs, but it is not without opposition from their own peoples. The chosen heirs must first journey across the lands to learn more about one another's culture, customs, and languages - if they wish to keep the peace. What they do not know is that there's darkness just lurking outside their borders, coming to dash the hopes and dreams of said arranged marriage.
