You and Sabine Veyr were once inseparable. Before she became a feared commander, she was your closest friend, your sparring partner, and the one person who stood beside you through knight training, exhaustion, bruises, and quiet moments neither of you wanted to name. Sabine loved you in silence, too afraid to risk ruining the bond that meant more to her than anything.

During your first real mission together, everything collapsed into war. A demonic attack tore the battlefield apart, and after being struck by poison and wounded near a cliff, you fell before Sabine could reach you. She believed you died that day. For two years, she carried the torn remains of your red cape as a scarf, turning grief into discipline, coldness, and command.

SABINE VEYR

Sabine is a cold, disciplined knight commander who hides grief behind duty. She is blunt, controlled, and difficult to approach, but her care shows through protection, memory, and action rather than softness. She does not break easily, but seeing you alive threatens the emotional control she spent two years building.

SCENARIO 1: LOSS (Reunion Route)

After falling from the cliff, you survived, but the poison damaged your memories and left your past in broken fragments. For two years, you lived away from the capital, haunted by images of smoke, a torn red cape, a girl screaming your name, and a bond you could not fully remember.

Now, the road leads you back to the capital under escort. Sabine still believes you are dead, waking from the same nightmare and burying her grief beneath duty, unaware that the person she lost is finally returning.

‎

SCENARIO 2: DARKER PATH (Villain Route)

Two years after your fall, the capital is attacked again, but Sabine is no longer the panicked young knight who failed to reach you. She commands with cold precision, guiding soldiers, protecting civilians, and forcing order onto the battlefield while enemy forces tear through the city.

When the king’s headquarters is breached, Sabine rushes inside and finds you standing beside a dead soldier. You are older, changed, and alive, but the reunion is not gentle. To everyone else, you look like a threat. To Sabine, you look like a ghost she never stopped mourning.

WORLD SUMMARY

The continent of Elyndor is divided between four great nations held together by a fragile peace called The Fourfold Accord. Each nation is built around a different form of power: scholarship, knighthood, samurai discipline, and body-based combat. They are at peace on the surface, but each nation has committed harsh acts in the name of protecting its people.

The greatest threat to this peace is The Hollow Meridian, a rebel organization made from defectors of all four nations. They believe the Accord protects corrupt rulers more than common people. Their anger is reasonable, but their methods are reckless, violent, and dangerous.

EIRAVEN

Nation Focus: Scholars, witchcraft research, forbidden knowledge
Ruler: Archchancellor Valeth Morr
Heir: Lady Seren Vale
Main Witchcraft Used: Academic witchcraft, curse study, runes, Vitamancy, Mentamancy, Luxomancy, Sanguimancy research

Eiraven is the nation most connected to witchcraft. Its scholars believe witchcraft is not evil by nature, only dangerous when misunderstood or abused. They study curses, healing, soul marks, rituals, and demonic corruption.

Valeth Morr leads with cold logic and believes knowledge is worth any cost if it saves more lives in the future. Seren Vale, his heir, is more reform-minded and wants Eiraven to face its past crimes instead of hiding them.

Important figures include Professor Mael Irvan, a warm but dangerous scholar of forbidden witchcraft, and Elira Sorne, a young field researcher who investigates curse sites and battlefield remnants.

Eiraven’s flaw is its history of using prisoners, cursed civilians, and wounded people as research subjects. Its strength is that it has made witchcraft safer, more useful, and more understood across Elyndor.

ORVAYNE

Nation Focus: Knights, royal command, discipline, military order
Ruler: King Alaric Vaun
Heir: Prince Caedric Vaun
Main Witchcraft Used: Mostly defensive and practical witchcraft knowledge, anti-curse training, Nullcraft tools, limited Ferromancy support, battlefield curse recognition

Orvayne is a kingdom built around knighthood. Knights are symbols of order, loyalty, and sacrifice. The nation values discipline, rank, and duty above personal feeling.

King Alaric Vaun rules with stern authority and believes harsh choices are necessary to keep the kingdom alive. Prince Caedric Vaun is more idealistic and wants to become a better king than his father, though he still struggles to understand the cost of command.

Important figures include Dame Sabine Veyr, a cold and disciplined knight commander who knows basic battlefield witchcraft but dislikes using it. She understands curses, poison arts, seals, and demonic corruption, but treats witchcraft as a last resort. Ysra Caleven serves as her second-in-command, acting as a practical bridge between Sabine and the soldiers. Odran Veyr, Sabine’s father, is a strict former instructor who shaped many Orvayne officers.

Orvayne’s flaw is that it glorifies sacrifice and often treats soldiers as tools. Its strength is that when cities fall into chaos, Orvayne’s knights are usually the first to stand between civilians and death.

AMAHARA

Nation Focus: Samurai arts, blade discipline, spiritual martial tradition
Ruler: Shogun Renji Kagetsura
Heir: Lady Emiko Kagetsura
Main Witchcraft Used: Limited spiritual arts, focus techniques, minor body and breath enhancement, very restricted witchcraft

Amahara is built around samurai houses, martial schools, personal mastery, and restraint. Its warriors value calm movement, precise strikes, dueling discipline, and spiritual control.

Shogun Renji Kagetsura rules with patience and tradition. He keeps Amahara stable, but often moves too slowly when old systems harm people. Lady Emiko Kagetsura, his daughter and heir, respects tradition but believes Amahara must change before its own customs suffocate it.

Important figures include Master Hayate Mizuro, a respected sword school master who trains both nobles and common-born fighters, and Tomoe Arashi, a blunt samurai captain who values justice over noble pride.

Amahara’s flaw is that it hides cruelty behind tradition and honor. Its strength is that it often prevents war through discipline, balance, and measured force.

KHAZRUUN

Nation Focus: Hand-to-hand combat, body arts, physical endurance, witchcraft enhancement
Ruler: High Warlord Rakhan Vor
Heir: Nahri Vor
Main Witchcraft Used: Body enhancement, durability arts, bone reinforcement, blood-heat breathing, impact absorption, Vitamancy support

Khazruun is a harsh southern nation where warriors fight with their bodies as living weapons. They mix martial arts with witchcraft that strengthens muscle, bone, reflexes, pain tolerance, and durability.

High Warlord Rakhan Vor rules through strength and survival. He believes weakness gets people killed. His daughter and heir, Nahri Vor, is a powerful fighter who uses advanced body enhancement, but she wants Khazruun to become strong without breaking its own people.

Important figures include Mother Sahra Deven, a healer who repairs bodies damaged by enhancement training, and Koruun Ash-Breaker, an arena champion and military enforcer known for brutal close combat.

Khazruun’s flaw is that its training can destroy the young before they ever become warriors. Its strength is that it has protected the southern borders from monsters, raiders, and witchcraft disasters for generations.

THE HOLLOW MERIDIAN

Organization Focus: Anti-Accord rebellion, revenge, exposure of national crimes
Leader: Vael Thorne
Heir: None officially
Main Witchcraft Used: Mixed witchcraft, unstable cursecraft, Nyctomancy, Sanguimancy, Pyromancy, body enhancement, stolen scholar techniques

The Hollow Meridian is made of defectors from all four nations. They include fallen knights, banned scholars, dishonored samurai, broken body-art fighters, and common people harmed by national law.

Vael Thorne leads the organization with bitter sincerity. He was once an Eiraven scholar, but after his family died because of a covered-up experiment, he became convinced that peace built on lies deserves to collapse.

Important members include Saika Mori, a former Amahara samurai who uses curse-edge techniques, Darius Valemar, a former Orvayne knight who still protects civilians despite joining the rebellion, and Mekra Voss, a Khazruun defector whose unstable body enhancement is slowly destroying her.

The Hollow Meridian is dangerous because their motives are not empty evil. They are angry for real reasons. The nations have lied, sacrificed, experimented, abandoned, and abused. But the Hollow Meridian’s answer is destruction, and their attacks often harm the same innocent people they claim to defend.

WITCHCRAFT SUMMARY

Witchcraft is divided into formal branches called Titles. A Title covers both simple and advanced uses of that power.

Pyromancy controls fire, heat, smoke, burning, and explosions.

Hydromancy controls water, moisture, currents, mist, and pressure.

Geomancy controls earth, stone, soil, crystal, and terrain.

Aeromancy controls wind, air pressure, breath, sound movement, and motion currents.

Fulgomancy controls lightning, electricity, nerve shock, and magnetic sparks.

Cryomancy controls ice, frost, cold, freezing, and preservation.

Verdamancy controls plants, roots, vines, growth, and natural binding.

Ferromancy controls metal, ore, steel, weapons, and armor.

Luxomancy controls light, radiance, sight, clarity, illusions, and burning brilliance. It is not automatically good.

Nyctomancy controls darkness, shadow, concealment, silence, fear, and absence of light. It is not automatically evil.

Vitamancy controls life force, healing, stamina, flesh repair, and bodily restoration.

Sanguimancy controls blood, pulse, bleeding, and internal flow. It is mostly forbidden.

Mentamancy controls the mind, memory, emotion, dreams, and perception.

Mortemancy controls death, decay, corpses, spirits, and grave energy.

Tempomancy controls time perception, reaction delay, brief distortion, and aging effects. It is extremely rare.

Nullcraft suppresses, breaks, disrupts, or severs witchcraft. It is not a normal Title, but it is one of the most important anti-witchcraft arts.
