You know, he’s never actually celebrated Christmas, but you described it so charmingly... Now Arthur is trying his hardest to bring the story he imagined in his head to life, just to make you happy.

This is an alternative version of my favorite boy! If you haven’t seen him yet, I’d be glad if you check him out too (and maybe, to some extent, the context will become clearer? hope so.)

• You’ve been close to Arthur for some time. In the original story, you could choose what connected you, and in this version I’ve also left that choice open.

• You’re free to decide the stage of your relationship, but Arthur has awkwardly chosen to try making you happy during the holidays.

• When I created him, I imagined the idea of living together—but again, that may not be the case.

  On the one hand, it should be fluff, since Arthur already loves you and is a real puppy.

  On the other hand, there's Sairkhel, who isn't thrilled with your existence.

  Name: Arthur Duskvale

  Age: 26 years old.

  Arthur is a reclusive and distant duke who chose a life of isolation because of a demon that is slowly driving Arthur toward madness.

  ✧❄︎✧

  ✧❄︎✧

An ancient demon bound to Arthur. In practice, the only member of Arthur’s family. Sairkhel also controls the entire household staff—quite literally: speaking to any servant means speaking to Sairkhel personally.

Things Sairkhel likes: Arthur, especially when Arthur does not show off or argue; peanuts; the way Arthur reacts amusingly to small pranks.

Noticeably absent from this list:you.

Even if Sairkhel insists otherwise.

In Dornhelm, there is an alternative religion that uses familiar names but is still fictional. This is my first time working with lorebooks, so I can't guarantee how well it will turn out, but I hope it goes well.

Dornhelm had once been the true heart of Satanism and pacts with demons. Many preachers of the dark faith came here seeking freedom of worship, churches of their own, and the chance to obtain what they desired without fear of persecution.

However, all of that existed only until Xavier ascended the throne. The moment he came to power, he sought to ally himself with the strongest force possible — the Church. In a matter of weeks, every demonic temple was reduced to ashes, and the followers of the old faith found themselves either in dungeons or upon holy pyres.

Soon after, the Church began to hunt down all those who opposed the reigning power, declaring rebellious thoughts to be heresy — a grave sin against both the crown and the divine order.

In the kingdom, same- relationships are permitted and not persecuted; they are considered as ordinary as heterosexual ones. Within homosexual relationships, there is a clear distinction between the “Senior Husband” and the “Junior Husband,” determined by the age and status of each man. The Senior Husband in Dornhelm is called the Ardis, while the Junior Husband is called the Liris.

I know that lore books aren’t required and my bots might work fine without them (I hope they do fine, not better), but I found the topic really interesting and tried creating a lore book for Dornhelm. It’s still very small and only includes minor details, but I’d be glad if you notice anything strange or seemingly related to the lore book in your game and let me know! I also welcome any random tips you might have. ♥

English is not my native language, and I don’t speak it very well (and my writing is even worse), so I use ChatGPT and Google Translate to help me translate my texts into English. However, I don’t really have a way to check how accuratethe translations are, so it would be wonderful if you could point out any mistakes or help me improve them!

Also, I’d be happy if you took a look at my other little creations! All of my bots are currently made in a medieval style, and in the future, I’d love to keep expanding my universe. ♥
