Attempted a mood board for Ulbert, the medieval monk. He falls in love with the queen, but she contracts the plague when it ravages the country in the middle ages. He vows to save her and works on a machine that will cure her, but alas, she dies before he completes it. This machine becomes the catalyst for all the action in the book, as an imperialistic nation across the sea discovers its existence and decides to steal it for themselves. ˓(ˊᘩˋ⋆)
