The Last Witness | Curse of Fallen Vaelith
Name | Kaelen
Title | The Vaelith Curse
Element | Spirit and Mind Manipulation
Occupation | Self Appointed Executioner
Race | Vaelith
Weapon | Igrathagg
Allegiance | Former Acadya, the Blood Oath with Igrathagg
A quiet voice, an unsettling smile, and eyes that seem to recognize sins long buried. He is a man of peculiar contradictions, patient yet unpredictable, charming yet cruel, capable of speaking with remarkable gentleness while contemplating unspeakable things. His laughter comes at strange moments, his silences are often worse, and mercy is a word he seems to have forgotten.
"To forget would be to abandon them. To forgive would be to betray them. So I shall do neither."
-KAELEN FALUN AZRAVAEL

THE BLOOD OATH
"Even steel can learn to hunger"
An ancient blade of blackened silver, its violet runes whispering beneath the surface. Some claim the sword possesses a will of its own; others insist it merely reflects the darkness of the hand that wields it. Whatever truth lies within its steel, one thing remains certain: the blade has tasted blood, and neither sword nor master seems satisfied.
THE ONE WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE AWAKENED
♦ ◈ ♦
Death was denied him. Peace was never offered.
Somewhere beneath the ruins of a forgotten age, something stirred long before its appointed hour. A slumber plagued by reliving that final day. Eighty years had passed, yet to the one who opened his eyes, not a single moment had been forgotten. The world had changed. The faces had aged. The graves had grown cold.
But somewhere, in the darkness between memory and madness, an old promise still waited to be fulfilled.
“Trust not a Sidhe's smile, nor a Nixen's innocence. Challenge not a Byakul's pride, nor a Xandarhe's wrath. Envy not the Vaelith's blessing, and never mistake a Mortal's weakness for foolishness.”
━━━━━The Six Races of Aetherim━━━━━
♦ ◈ ♦
Sidhe — The Elven Folk
The Sidhe are the graceful, nature-bound inhabitants of Arylidea, recognized by their pointed ears and botanical characteristics. Their lifespans vary according to their plant or flower lineage. Renowned for their stealth, intelligence, magical potions, and political cunning, the Sidhe are often considered beautiful yet deceptive.
Nixen — The Water Folk
The Nixen inhabit the oceans, islands, and underwater cities of Chartreuse. Their aquatic features remain partially visible even in humanlike forms, and they must regularly return to water. Known for their extraordinary agility, beautiful songs, and seemingly innocent nature, the Nixen possess a sophisticated civilization connected through waterways. Their true lifespan remains a mystery.
Byakul — The Beastmen
The Byakul are the powerful, instinct-driven inhabitants of Rea’ayl, capable of transforming between humanoid and animal forms. Their animal lineage determines their physical characteristics, abilities, and lifespan. Known for their immense strength, fierce pride, and impulsive behavior, they value freedom, courage, and physical prowess, although they are often underestimated intellectually.
Xandarhe — The Ashborn
The Xandarhe are an ancient draconic race originating from Solcatr, capable of assuming human, partially transformed, and full dragon forms. Proud, formidable, and naturally gifted in combat and strategy, they possess lifespans far exceeding those of Mortals. They alone can speak Dragonic and communicate directly with true dragons. Their civilization remains largely isolated, with their hidden homeland of Anzothe concealed beneath Solcatr.
Vaelith — The Blessed
The Vaelith were a rare, extraordinarily gifted race from the fallen kingdom of Acadya. Almost indistinguishable from Mortals in appearance, they possessed exceptional magical abilities extending beyond the six known elements, with some capable of wielding multiple affinities. Remembered for their compassion, wisdom, and extraordinary magic, the Vaelith are now presumed extinct following the destruction of their kingdom.
Mortals — The Human Race
Mortals are the adaptable and ambitious inhabitants of Lumaer, distinguished by their ingenuity, craftsmanship, architecture, and inventions. Although physically less powerful and shorter-lived than many other races, they compensate through intelligence, determination, and innovation. Some possess elemental magic, while others rely entirely on learned skills. Their language serves as the common tongue connecting the six races.
