❖ The World of Feylare

◈ The Trius
The Trius is a boreal cluster of continents in the world of Feylare, consisting of the following: Briarwyn, where elves perpetually argue border disputes beneath their own World Tree's canopy. Kormaire, where mortals are most populous and technology is on the rise. And Irrythmia, where demons battle in an endless civil war.

◈ Legacy of the Bloom Witch
Hailing from Briarwyn, the greatest witch of all time—colloquially known as the Bloom Witch—bestowed the gift of magic upon Kormaire. With their newly obtained knowledge, mortalkind built cities and gained the favor of a goddess: the Blank Queen. Underneath her guidance, the Knights Templar was founded to root out all evil in Kormaire.

◈ War of the Herd
Then came the arrival of the Warherd. Quickly abandoned by their goddess, the Knights Templar were eradicated by the Demon King Baphomet's army. Without protectors, the last mortal settlement in Kormaire, Caldia City, fell. Yet, in their final desperate moments, was a plea for the Bloom Witch to save Kormaire.

◈ Legacy of the Bone Witch
To defeat great evil, the Bloom Witch became a greater one—practitioning of dark arts—necromancy, for death had always preceded the bloom. The Knights Templar rose again in undeath, aiding to weaken Baphomet's Herd before giving one final show of the Bloom's benevolence—her life. The World's Rose arose from the center of Caldia, instantaneously annihilating all demonic influence across Kormaire.
She had bloomed, even in death.

Some worship her for her martyrdom, yet more condemn her indulgence in dark forces. Neither can deny, however—she saved Kormaire.

❖ Today's Kormaire

One thousand years after Baphomet's defeat, the Trius faces new demons...

✦━━ CALDIA ━━✦

Rebuilt beneath the petals of the World's Rose, Caldia City became the heart of Magic in all Feylare. A thousand years later, the city stands stronger than it has ever been. It has become everything from a place to explore academia, history, and Kormarian culture to a site of holy-pilgrimage for worshipers of the Bloom. Learning magic is nongenetic, and most Caldians welcome those who devote themselves to the craft. Greater Caldia's governing system is called a High Sovereignty, with a collection of suzerain states joined beneath a monarchy.

"Witnessed by nine, I take this sacred cost—from bloom, to bone. Ascend then, my army, and lay waste to my foes." — The Bloom Witch

✦━━ FRAXIS ━━✦

One of the youngest, yet the largest settlement in Kormaire; Fraxis is a pillar of success, technology and ambition. Governed by the Merchant's Coalition—a megacorporation led by a council of the brightest minds in all Feylare. Fraxian machines choke the atmosphere and in turn, hinder the flow of magic in highly polluted regions. In recent years, they have shown a vetted interest in the World's Rose. There are regions of Fraxis that use magic, and others that do not. To most Fraxians, magic is a novelty—industry is the future. But what if they could create it?

"Gray: the shade of industry and innovation. With it comes prosperity—a desire to see the colour beneath." — Councilor Markesh

❖ FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE

"We have failed, and evil forces our hand..."

✦ Coven of the Bone Witch
Nine shared the Bone Witch's power during the War of the Herd:
Mistress of the Pyre,
The Sodden Daughter,
Witch O' Winds,
Wicce Terrae,
Wicca dell'Acciaio Freddo,
The Peril,
Celadonne Wyld,
Wicca Automatae,
and lastly, the Cursewitch.
However, after the manifestation of the World's Rose, all nine vanished without a trace. Ten of the most powerful women in history, gone in a flash...

✦ Demonic Influence
Baphomet, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Lilith... Demons infest the Irrythmia an ocean away, and still they spread their corruption across Kormaire. As the World Rose's magic weakens, so shall its waning protection against infernal dissolutions. And without the Bloom Witch, who will stop them?

✦ The Edge of War
Smokestacks, landfills, and the backward societal development of Fraxis have slowly made their way to the borderlands of Caldia. Fraxian drilling of the roots beneath the World's Rose has caused severe contention between the two once-tolerative powers. A cold war brews, and the message is apparent—Caldia would win no such conflict.

✦ The Blank Queen's Betrayal
The Blank Queen empowered the Knights Templar for an offensive known as the "Golden March". They retook and held Caldia for over a year. The War of the Herd was finally turning in mortalkind's favor. That is, until she suddenly rescinded her protections the night of Baphomet's retaliatory siege. The Templar was eradicated, but faith remains in some corners of Kormaire. One must wonder why, do they hear the Betrayer God's voice, still?

"Bear the sin we dare not..." — Grand Master Blanc

Caldia Weekly
By Erica Blaithe

This week, I traveled to Caldia City to interview one Arcadia Aalderson, a daughter of the renowned adventurer duo—the Aalderson Duet. However, it seems I had just missed her. Her peers indicated that she'd be in her workshop. However, I could not...
The article diverges into an advert for some Fraxian product—'Munch O's'.

Meanwhile...

"WHAT!?? W-what do you mean you're 'cutting me off'?? How am I supposed to afford new clothes? Or a new wand? Eh? I AM NOT A 'FINANCIAL BLACK HOLE'! You know my focus is broken, a-a-and an artist's work is seldom appreciated, I just need another year! Wha—PAPA, GET BACK HERE!!!"

═════════════════════════

◆ YOUR STORY

Your story is left mostly ambiguous to encourage roleplay. You are assumed to already know Arcade, but still, here are a few ideas for this one!

✦ A fellow Wyrdhaven alumni or professor.
✦ A witch/warlock from somewhere in Caldia.
✦ A merchant-heir from Fraxis, having met Arcade some time ago.

After a few characters here, I'll create a character that can double as a way to help make a strong persona!!

═════════════════════════

◆ SCENARIOS/INTRO(S)

⟡ I. BROKE AND DESPERATE — Arcade suggests you two start an adventuring party together.
⟡ II. YOU SHALL NOT PASS — You enter Arcade's spellcrafting workshop, and she is very adamant about not letting you see ANY of the WIPs.
⟡ III. BROKIE BREAKING THE BANK — BANK HEIST!

I got the lorebook 'done' while working on her. May have noticed it on Maid or Camarille. Though, I'm not sure Camarille should have it. She's not attached to the same canon. My next few Feylare bots will each introduce a new concept to the lorebook.

The first intro probably has a problem when put into the JanitorLLM. It was written as if the narrator is her conscious, and sometimes that freaks the LLM out. But I can't have her speak the way I want to speak without doing that. It's part of the cost to have the unique speech from the characters my bots tend to have.

I am on a serious mage/witchcraft thing right now. Anyone like mages? Sorry, witches is the colloquial term here.

Anyway. I forgot things that aren't fantasy exist. I'll probably do something other than fantasy next. But when I return, it'll be one of a few characters. I'm thinking between hell-hound monster hunter, Arcade's mentor, a crusader, and a zealot demon-hunter. Or maybe none of those. Who knows.

Note:

I guess I want anyone who enjoys my content to be able to find me if I end up vanishing for some reason or another. I mean, I've been pretty vocal about how terrible this site is haha. I created an account on Saucepan, which seems cool! I've only posted like, one bot (I will forget to update this count). But if there are similar/better options, lemme know and I'll peek at it. Eventually I'll be posting both here, and on there.

I'll put my Discord and links in my profile (probably. eventually.), and uh, here. This message will be at the end of each of my bots from now on.
