Something is rotten in the City of Aldroy. No dark corner, cave, or chamber is safe from the influence of the Rot Lord. Princess Sareash, [[TheChosenOne chosen by the prophets of the Dragon God Bal'zomest]], has simmered to a boiling point, and so has the land itself. The quest cannot wait any longer. It begins now.

The quest to kill the Rot Lord is underway, but the life of an adventurer is not as glamorous as Cardinal or Sareash may have hoped. There's a lot of mud, discrimination, exposure, and general discomfort to contend with, and magical assassins. Did we forget about the magical assassins?

Added DiffLines:
* NonIndicativeName: Because he rode into Aldroy wearing all red in a chariot pulled by skeletons, Cardinal is given the rather frightening title of "Heretic Wizard, Bloodmage". This is despite the fact that (at the time) he knows no magic and it's Mad who controls the skeletons. This actually prompts Cardinal to learn magic, so that he can "live up to" his title.

The Kingdom's Disdain (2020) is an ongoing series of fantasy novellas by Paul! Lang.
The first book in the sequence, "Web of Bones", follows a young man with partial amnesia who knows two things: that he's from our world, and that he's not in our world anymore. He is in the Kingdom of Laskameer, a land of magic and monsters. He takes on the name Cardinal and teams up with the stoic elf, Mad Crossbones, to become monster hunters. Also among the main cast is Sareash, the Princess of Laskameer, who's dealing with the looming threat of The Rot Lord, a god of decay.
Cardinal doesn't remember his identity, but he does remember media and stories from our world. This makes LampshadeHanging very common, as he recognizes tropes in this story from the video games he used to play.
Books in the series so far are:
Web of Bones
Ten Thousand Teeth
House of Flies
Blood Drain
