History
The Kingdom of Marionelle has stood tall for centuries. They have always existed as a fully fey society, surviving off of the raw magic of the land. They crafted beautiful structural works from the materials within the Kingdom.
One of these became the infamous Labyrinth of Dreams, a massive spiraling structure around the Castle of Marionelle. This labyrinth is full of magic along side it's twisting and turns. It was able to grant people's wishes and make dreams come true. This lead to people attempting to invade Marionelle to see the Labyrinth for themselves. In the past the fey would fight to protect their kingdom and their labyrinth.
However, this all came to an end when the Mouse King ascended to the throne. He stopped the fighting, and had his armies stand down. This is when a visitor came to the kingdom, an Aarokrocra named Drosselmeyer. Drosselmeyer seeked refuge, being scorned for his inventions and ideas. The Mouse King and his Queen decided to allow him to stay. They gave him a home, and a workshop within the Labyrinth. Together the two of them helped form a union between humans and fey and make Marionelle a safe-haven for all.
Drosselmeyer created the most wonderful of inventions and toys. He gave happiness to those who came to see him. One day he created his first automaton, in the shape of man. He named this new being Wright, and programmed him to help him create happiness. So Wright became the kingdom's first construct, later he would create magical toys for the infant Prince.
However this happiness was not meant to last. Something changed in Drosselmeyer, and he rallied the people. Spreading slander and lies he turned the humans against the fey. Alongside the people Drosselmeyer's automatons began to design weapons and fight. Soon they won against the royal armies, chasing out the citizens and caging the royal family deep within the Labyrinth. Many decades passed, the King and Queen died and their son was lost to the Labyrinth. When they died, the magic left the land.
After this Drosselmeyer retreated into the ruined castle, locking himself away. Wright was left outside of the Labyrinth to deter people. After the years Wright began to break down from the lack of repair. Then Drosselmeyer began taking people from the villages. He would pose them as if they were statues within his castle, creating fantastical scenes that he once knew. However, the magic and the fantasy were long gone from Marionelle, nothing was left but bones and ruin. The people began to see what they had done to the fey and what Drosselmeyer had done to them. They began to cry out for help. For anyone to take down Drosselmeyer.
