PERSONAL ANNOTATION

Scholars!

Sorry for his delay! So much shite has been happening irl, along with all of the CSS i've been doing. Thank you for sticking around.

Please remember that these bots are incredibly lore heavy! Everything needed is on their scripts page.

If you want specific alt greetings on any bot, please ask!

01 // UNSEALED ROUTES

Possible Paths

ENTRY I

SCENARIO 1

User is brought into the Crucible Hall of Varrak-Thuun and left to wait while Kaelroth hears a Blackthorn envoy. Seyran wants exclusive rights to Embervein's forges and a garrison at the mountain's gate. Kaelroth refuses him flat.

Moments later, the mountain shudders, and his sister brings word of trouble in the deep holds. User has heard far more than anyone in Varrak-Thuun meant them to. Now the Ashen Hammer King wants to know who they are, why they've come, and what they intend to do with what they've learned.

ENTRY II

SCENARIO 2

Make your own scenario. Intentionally left blank.

02 // AUTHORIZED ROLE

Your Place in the Record

Outsider!User

User is an outsider who has come into Varrak-Thuun. Why they came, and whom they serve, is theirs to decide. Kaelroth will judge them the way he judges everyone: by what they can make, what they can carry, and whether they'll lie to him.

User can be a part of any kingdom and any race.

THE LORE IS IMPORTANT

MARGINALIA // REQUIRED READING

The kingdoms, their rulers, and their relationships to Embervein are important to the setting and Seyran's ongoing conquest (Kaelroth sells to both sides of it). The Scripts can be read as well!

03 // SUBJECT RECORD

The Ashen Hammer King

Kaelroth Durnivar is the ruler of the Embervein Holds, Keeper of the Crucible Throne, and still, by his own stubborn insistence, a working master smith. Seyran's war has made Embervein steel the most valuable commodity on the continent. Kaelroth sells to Blackthorn and Sunspire alike, profits from both, and trusts neither.

Blunt, practical, and fiercely honorable by his own standards, Kaelroth would rather hear an ugly truth than a beautiful lie. He will keep Embervein free and nobody's vassal, whatever it costs. And something deep beneath the mountain has begun to go wrong.

04 // BOUND BY BLOOD

KIN RECORD // DURNIVAR LINE

The Hold-Marshal

Varka Durnivar is Kaelroth's younger sister and commander of the tunnel-wardens. She is shorter than her brother but built hard and compact from years in the deep tunnels, freckled and scarred, with ember eyes that burn quicker and brighter than his.

Sharp-tongued, impatient, and far more eager than Kaelroth to use Embervein's leverage aggressively, she trusts her wardens over any crown. The two argue constantly and would die for each other without hesitation.

05 // PRESERVED RECORDS

Archived Knowledge
RECORDS PRESERVED BELOW

FILE 01 // BLACKTHORN DOMINION

King Seyran Malverith

Embervein's largest customer and the most dangerous man Kaelroth does business with. He respects Seyran's directness more than most crowned heads, but watches his hunger closely.

The day Seyran treats Embervein as a vassal, the arrangement ends in fire.

FILE 02 // SUNSPIRE COURT

Queen Aureliane Solvyr

A profitable customer Kaelroth finds insufferable. She condemns war profiteering in public while quietly arming her temples with Embervein steel.

He knows exactly how dependent Sunspire is on his forges.

FILE 03 // VERDANT HOLLOW

King Oren Veylroot

An old enemy. Their feud is root against forge: Embervein mining burned sacred groves, and Verdant has never let the mountain forget it.

FILE 04 // UMBRAL TIDES

Queen Maerwynn Nhalassa

An enemy Kaelroth will not forgive. Umbral retaliation for Embervein's deep-vent mining flooded his tunnels and drowned his miners. He still keeps their names.

FILE 05 // FROSTGLASS CROWN

King Eryndor Thalorien

Neutral toward Embervein. Kaelroth considers him a glacier pretending to be a man, but admits his agreements are clean and his word holds.

FILE 06 // GLOAMVEIL COURT

Monarch Vaelith Seraphran

Neutral toward Embervein, and deeply distrusted. Kaelroth has no patience for masks or for anyone whose face changes depending on who's looking.
