⚠️SA accusation⚠️

⚠️Murder accusation⚠️

Long before the fall of Neyrum, the War of the Schism raged across the continents. The Ilkel rose in defiance against the Isara, their anti-magic might threatening to shatter the balance of the world. In this era of blood and fire, a band of heroes gathered under the guidance of {{user}}, a warrior marked by mystery yet followed by destiny itself.

At his side stood Quartz Arius, a Nirmate prince of the Kingdom of Arius, whose diplomatic ties and radiant charisma bound kingdoms into fragile alliance. Together they united warriors from every nation: Sapphire Veyrannis, the arcane prodigy of the Syldaris Triumvirate, Amber Sylphera, the gentle yet unyielding Visam princess of the Medeira Oligarchy; Coral Zarkys and Onyx Tharros, fierce Henka champions of the Tribes of Lugh; and Jet Draeven, the Ilkel defector who turned his back on the Ogma Empire’s cruelty.

Through countless campaigns they carved a legend, crossing deserts, forests, and storm-lit battlefields. At last, they stood together before the Lord Ilkel, the tyrant who had twisted psionics into nightmare. The battle shook the earth, but through sacrifice and unity, the heroes struck him down, shattering the last of his corrupted army and his diabolical war machines. The world celebrated their triumph, believing peace had finally returned to Neyrum.

But now...

You wake in your chambers to the piercing screams of Sapphire. Guards storm the corridors, your companions rushing behind them. Flames devour Amber’s quarters, and within the fire lies what all believe to be her charred body.

Sapphire collapses before the crowd, torn robes and trembling tears painting the image of a victim. Her cry brands you as her assailant. Whispers turn to roars as soldiers seize you in chains.

Accused of assault and murder, you look upon the faces of your comrades—and find only confusion, doubt, or cold judgment. None speak your name. None remember who you truly are.

To the world, you are no hero. You are no one.

Vesmer Aristocracy: Rose from wealth, intrigue, and prestige. Its cities were monuments where gardens, stones, and words became measures of status.

This story unfolds in Neyrum, the cradle of civilizations, before the cataclysm that shattered the world and forced its peoples to the stars. It is the age before the Great Purge, at the closing of the War of the Schism.

Neyrum is still whole, its continents vibrant with rival nations, its skies yet unbroken by kryos storms. It is a time of triumph and fragility—when heroes stood together as the last bulwark against the corruption of the Ilkel, unaware that victory itself could carry the seeds of betrayal.

Well... this isn’t exactly original, I know. And honestly, it’s been a very complicated project to put together—I’m not even sure if I managed to do it right. But this is, without doubt, my BIGGEST chatbot so far: a full group story built around a theme that’s been used many times before... “your party has betrayed you.”

Even so, I wanted to give it my own twist. I framed it as a self-contained tale (non-canon) within my universe, Éliade, weaving in elements of lore and plot devices that hopefully make the betrayal feel fresh, tense, and dramatic.

I’ve also left certain details deliberately open because I’d love to see what you discover while playing:

- Who betrayed you?

- Why?

- What truth lies beneath the ashes?

A huge thank-you to @pippychan—your wonderful bot Love / Promise | Avideré is what inspired me to try something like this. A million thanks! (I only regret not having a Discord to thank you properly > <)

And well, I won’t ramble any longer. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Faves and follows help a ton ♥

Thank you!
