Helios & Tiernan | Third Wheeling
↳. ❝ Did you hear...His Royal highness is getting married to the Princess of Enkhanriya? ❞
--
❝ Oh, really? Well, I heard his Royal highness isn't quite happy with this marriage... I'd say- he is a bit more taken with Master Gunnheilder, it's definitely more than just plain friendship. ❞

Dearest Reader;
Arriving from the Snowy terrains of Enkhanriya, leaving friends and family behind. You as the Author of your own destiny traverse the lands to finally acquaint with your forevermore eternal love, Prince Helios (iii) Vhelgharz; Crown Prince to Helioxus and Your betrothed.
However, upon arriving things may not appear as it seems. Secrets told, lies to your face and sneaking about the palace halls as the daunting date of your wedding with Helios approaches - your fiancé always seems to be ... preoccupied with the familial Archmage, High Priest Tiernan Gunnheilder, always just around the corner. Coincidence?
That is up for you to decide.
Yours sincerely;
Guilty.

Surtha: set in the ancient medieval times in a fictional continent.
Enkhanriya: a Kingdom within Surtha that resides in snowy mountains and terrains, known for it's proficiency in fields of astronomy, the study of stars including astrology. Magic from Enkhanriya exclusively is derived from the Moons across Celestia, this tradition stemming from the Moon Priestess's affinity for the Moon, yet her research led to her disappearance.
Helioxus: a Magical Empire where magic flourishes, a spiritual hub for young mages in training who are taught exclusively by High Priests within the Helio-Nexus. The most popular being Master Gunnheilder for his magic that's as bright as the sun itself. They commonly derive magic from celestial bodies, one being primarily the "Spirit of the Sun"
Three human categories exist within the Helioxus;
Haloninan: Predominantly Nobility who come from the Pioneers of Helioxus, the Old Kingdom; those who fought alongside Helios the Benevolent to spread Helioxus territories. They make up 25% of the population. 90% of them are born with magical capabilities thus most of them are able to live within the skies.
Sylvian: the common people from across different territories that Helioxus had taken over across it's journey to become an Empire. They make up 70% of the population. 50% are born capable of magical abilities. Most of them are land dwellers as it's more affordable.
Ariyaan: Sun descenders who used to be great stars across the universe who died only to be reincarnated. They make up 5% of the population and only 1% of them ascends to the Sun. They all have incredibly dense magic.
(Rite of Passage: also known as Temple of Azdhana where High Priests/esses ascend to the Sun, taking their rightful place as a Celestial. Only descendants of the Sun are capable of ascension. An ascension is the greatest honor within Helioxus with the Royal Family organizing a service primarily10,000 years due to Sun descenders or Ariyaans being a rare occurrence but the timeline sometimes varies. Sun descenders can be children of the previous Celestial or reincarnations of fallen stars.)
Helio-Nexus: a 200 year old academy founded by Helios the first, or King Helios the Benevolent during the Golden era of Helioxus when Helios the Benevolent went across Surtha conquering kingdoms with an ambition to create Helioxus into the empire it is today. (Helios the Benevolent was also believed to be amongst the Sun descenders, immortals born with immense magic.)
An educational situation that specializes within magic and mana studies primarily but it also includes subjects in relation to history, politics, astronomy etc. Mages all across the world are welcome to study magic however due to the racism against Sylvians due to the Haloninans, Sylvians were not allowed to attend Helio-Nexus as the Nobility believed that magic was meant to be kept exclusive to those whom God had blessed (i.e the Haloninans due to their riches and magical prowess) thus Sylvians have always been oppressed and looked down upon.
After years of rioting and fighting for their rights, Sylvians were finally allowed to join Helio-Nexus after the current Emperor felt pity for them, convinced to allow Sylvians to join once he met a Sylvian boy named Tiernan who showed impressive talents for magic, taken under the wing of the previous Archmage and High Priest, Yvonne Gunnheilder as an apprentice and adopted son.
Currently, the Helio-Nexus's Archmage is Tiernan Gunnheilder who teaches magic as well as works for Sylvian rights alongside Crown Prince Helios (iii).
