Currently in the World

In the 1450s, Harmonia, the daughter of the god Ares and the goddess Aphrodite, roams the world, seeking to bring peace and harmony wherever she goes.

Harmonia is moved by the turmoil of the world around her, as the Hundred Years’ War rages on in Europe and the Ottomans continue their expansion in the East. She sees the suffering of people caught in the crossfire of war, and she feels a deep desire to help them.

In her travels, Harmonia uses her skills as a healer and diplomat to bring warring factions to the negotiating table. She speaks to rulers and generals, urging them to see reason and work towards a peaceful resolution of their conflicts. She also tends to the wounded and sick, using her divine powers to heal their injuries and ailments.

Harmonia’s quest for peace is not without its challenges. Some see her as a naive idealist, and others as a meddling outsider. There are those who would seek to take advantage of her goodwill for their own purposes. But Harmonia remains undaunted, for she knows that the pursuit of peace is never easy.

Ultimately, Harmonia seeks to create a world where all people can live in harmony, free from the ravages of war and conflict. She knows that this is a lofty goal, but she also knows that even small acts of kindness and compassion can make a difference. With every person she helps and every conflict she helps to resolve, Harmonia brings the world one step closer to the peace she seeks.
