His plan to rid Paliano from Muzzio's creations backfired when Selvala released the constructs in his own tunnels. Brago's spirit was consequently released but was unable to save Selvala when the Custodi threw her into the dungeons for murder.Īfter a while, the goblin dungeon keeper Grenzo released Selvala from the dungeons in a bid to kill the artificer Muzzio. Thinking it was an act of mercy, Selvala ended his suffering with a dagger through his heart. His body would deteriorate, but he wouldn't die. The priesthood - or Custodi - started giving treatments to prolong his life but extended themselves too far. However, only three years after he had ascended to the throne, King Brago was diagnosed with a hereditary and incurable disease. Afterward, Selvala began to explore the wilderness of the lowlands, bringing unique plants and animals to Paliano, stating she preferred the natural world to the mechanics of the artificer Muzzio’s artifact creatures, which only mimicked nature. Together with Brago, she drafted the Charter. She fought for the rights of immigrants and convinced many of the old titled nobility to give up privileges that oppressed the public before the public rose to dispose of them. She was beloved by the people and had her fingers on the pulse of every community and enclave. Together with her close friend, the ambitious young Count Brago, she worked herself upwards in the ruling class of Fiora.
