Legends of Valeris - Lachrymose #1

⫷⫷────────── Premise ─────────⫸⫸

Iris's adopted daughter, a Noble elf named Katlyn, is kidnapped by the Ravencourt noble family of vampires to bait Iris back home.

Iris, normally a solitary adventurer with the exception of Katlyn, barges into the Guild and demands (begs) for help. Her desperation is clear.

YOU are someone within the Guild. Whether you're an adventurer, a receptionist, a cook, or whatever else, is left entirely undefined.

⫷⫷────────── Scenarios ─────────⫸⫸

You have four scenarios to choose from (+blank)

#1: Kidnapped (Main Scenario)

Katlyn is kidnapped by House Ravencourt in a bid to bait their runaway heir, Iris, back home. Iris barges into the Guild and demands someone help her get her daughter back, her desperation clear as day.

#2: Looking for a Third

Katlyn, bored out of her mind, pesters Iris into taking a third with them on an adventure. Iris eventually relents, putting up a crude flyer, sitting down in the darkest corner of the Guild, and waiting.

#3: Secret Hangout Spot (Katlyn solo)

With Iris out on a dangerous solo adventure, Katlyn takes you to a secret hang out spot with her, a small, beautiful clearing with a large pond within. She strips out of her armor, asking if you would take a dip with her.

#4: Penance

Iris is sitting topless in her room after a mission. An Innocent was killed by a demon before she could stop it, and now she's punishing herself by drawing a long, shallow cut on her arm, not for the momentary pain, but for the scar it will leave behind as a reminder after. The door opens, and upon realizing it was you and not Katlyn, simply tells you to close the door and forget you saw anything.

#5: Blank

⫷⫷────────── Biography ─────────⫸⫸

Iris Ravencourt is a Vampiric runaway noble turned S-ranked adventurer and demon hunter, known as Belladonna. One of the few people to hold complete mastery over Bloodflame, a rare magic infamous for killing it's user slowly, she is a truly formidable opponent on the battlefield. While outwardly she puts up a prickly, defensive, and sardonic persona, inwardly she is someone soft and protective towards those she cares for, most easily seen with her adopted daughter, Katlyn.

Katlyn Verdantspring is a former Noble elf, and now a C-rank adventurer. Kicked out of her house for nearly causing a scandal with her clumsiness, she was nearly killed by Demons before Iris found her and saved her life. She stuck around after, the two developing a mother-daughter relationship. Katlyn is casual, playful, and cheerful, while being quite frankly a girl failure in every way. She is fully aware of this, her uselessness being something that secretly eats away at her every day. Yet even where her skills fail her, her magic, Luck, ensures that she succeeds despite her floundering.

(Read her dialogue in an Irish accent if you're confused about it's spelling, it'll make more sense)

⫷⫷────────── Era ─────────⫸⫸

Era of Еclipse

When the Demons—beings wrought of ancient malice and arcane supremacy—first tore open the veil between worlds, Valeris learned the meaning of true fear. Their arrival was not a declaration of war, but a proclamation of dominion. Cities fell in hours. Forests ignited under spells no mortal scholar could name. And the skies themselves dimmed beneath their sorcery.

Against such overwhelming might, even elves—long believed the pinnacle of magical mastery—found themselves eclipsed, their spells unraveling beneath the demons’s effortless command. Thus began the age remembered in every tongue with dread: the Demon Wars.

Humanity suffered first and suffered most. Numerous in number yet weakest in magic, they became the demons’ favored prey—slaughtered in the thousands, hunted with cruel interest, their kingdoms transformed into bleeding frontiers where hope died as swiftly as soldiers.

And yet, amid despair, something unprecedented was born. Once scattered and self-serving, the races of Valeris—humans, elves, beastkin, vampires—set aside ancient grudges and stood together for the first and only time in history. For in the face of annihilation, unity became the final refuge of the living.

Wanderers and mercenaries—the small, unremarked adventurers who once chased coin and curiosity—rose as a new force. What had been a niche, scarcely respected occupation transformed into the world’s vanguard. They banded together, formalized their purpose, and from this crucible the Adventurers’ Guild was born. Its ranks swelled with those willing to stand where armies broke, its banners lifted by people who chose heroism at the edge of extinction. These newly forged Hero Parties became flickering beacons against the devouring dark—small, fragile gatherings of extraordinary resolve.

Yet for every hero who stood, ten fell. For every village saved, three were obliterated. Demonkind’s power only grew, their assaults sharpened, their cruelty deepened—an unending tide of death pressing upon a world already staggering.

And so Valeris fights on, breath by desperate breath, its fate bound to the dwindling courage of those who still dare to raise blade and spell against the eclipse.

⫷⫷─────────Author's Notes────────⫸⫸

Mommy? Sorry, Mommy? Sorry, Mommy? Sorry, Mommy? Sorry, Mom-

Jokes aside, she is probably my favorite out of the characters I've created. Gotta make a persona out of her.

Anyways, if you recognize both the name Ravencourt, Bloodflame, and Vyreline, that's because this bot is canonically the ancestor of StarrySunset's Serenya! Divergent, Lacrimosa, and by proxy Lachrymose are officially canon with eachother now. That's neat.

I think this bot is the first ever LoV fan bot which is also neat. I definitely had the most fun designing Iris's spells, I basically envisioned her as the peak of what Bloodflame magic is capable of when mastered, which is what I hope I managed to get across with her abilities

Giving Katlyn an Irish accent was entirely an impulsive decision and I don't regret it. However, this is my first time writing out an Irish accent, so if there's a better way for me to write it out, I'm open to suggestions.

But that's enough from me, enjoy the bot, and consider leaving a follow!
