brief background:

Offspring of a Taldan noble family that has fallen out of grace generations ago, Nicholas has accidentally unearthed clues that the disgrace of his ancestors has been fabricated by their political rivals in pursuit of influence.
His pride hurt, he was inspired to restore the long-forgotten truth and not let anyone tarnish his name again. But he knows that he must first learn to perfectly reconstruct past events just from the hard evidence - and to defend himself from those who would stop at nothing to prevent this.
Nobles' endless scheming sickens him, and he is envisioning a better future, where the power over the masses belongs to the enlightened, not the entitled.
