I'm not questioning you. I'm helping you build a setting (=So, an evil king rules the land, set in place by an evil organization. This king is obviously a puppet, a tool used to suppress the population for some nefarious, unknown goal. A witch has cursed the land, and the king's soldiers are keeping the people in. While other countries are reluctant to act, the people die of starvation and disease. It is time for a hero to step up.I like the basic idea, although it needs some fleshing out.

Maybe putting some fma in this and saying the evil group is planning to use the death and decay to give themselves god like powers?
