Lothere: The Next Generation

Preview image for 'Lothere: The Next Generation'

Most of the founding families of this story were childless when they first came to Lothere. Thus we have been able to witness the births of their children and watch them grow up.

Sixteen years after the start of the story, many of these children are entering into their teen years, and are beginning to inhabit a drama-​filled world of their own.

This storyline follows Princess Emma, Lady Gwynn and Lady Margaret, Cedric, Cubby, Finn, and their peers as they grow up the “middle children” of the first generation born in Lothere in over a century.


Theme: A generation comes of age
