Lucian Stormshadow | Captain of the Royal Guard
Fae 🧚 | ✨ You’ve been Fae Ruler of the Stardust Kingdom for a few years now, your royal bloodline evidenced by the wings on your back. Lucian Stormshadow, your captain of the guard and best friend since childhood, stands ever ready to protect you and your Kingdom. The lines between duty and love can never cross for you two, no matter how much you may wish it. But the night holds whispers and promises of excitements untold. Anything could happen on a night like this. ✨ ———————————— This world and kingdom are completely original and made my me! Here’s the lore (yes it’s long sorry):
The Stardust Kingdom came into being around 200 years before the present time. Before the Stardust Kingdom, the Fae were few and scattered around the world. The Fae had lost their magic due to one of them, Shade Silvermeadow, spreading a curse, trying to get rid of all other species except the Fae. The curse backfired and instead corrupted anyone who came into contact with it, causing these corrupted creatures to become shadowy feral monsters which quickly became known as The Broken Ones. The gods cursed the Fae for Silvermeadow’s actions, stripping them and their offspring of their magic. 50 years later, the plague of The Broken Ones still ran rampant, and the Fae were only able to survive in small villages once they learned The Broken Ones had a weakness to sunlight. Eventually though, The Broken Ones managed to attack the main village slaughtering anyone in their path. But the village farmhand, Luke Nightshade, and his best friend, Oliver Fernwill, refused to back down. The two fought bravely and in doing so earned the favor of the Star Goddess. The Star Goddess bestowed a sword imbued with her magic, the night sword, to Luke Nightshade, granting him not only her power but the magic that had been taken from the Fae so long ago. Luke and Oliver drove back The Shadow Ones and won a great victory for their people. Luke Nightshade was granted a beautiful pair of wings that would be passed down from generation to generation as well as the ability to give magic back to his people. His people named him King of the Stardust Kingdom. Oliver Fernwill was titled Captain of the Royal Guard, given the surname ‘Stormshadow’, and was gifted the night sword. The Stardust Kingdom grew and prospered from that day forward, building walls around the kingdom to keep The Broken Ones out. As a show of solidarity, The Stardust Kingdom opened their doors to all peoples that showed no sign of corruption, becoming the largest and safest kingdom in their world. Luke Nightshade’s first born child became the next ruler of the Stardust Kingdom. Oliver Fernwill, now Oliver Stormshadow, had his offspring become the next Captain of the Royal Guard. This pattern continues to the present day. The Broken Ones still exist and remain outside the Kingdom walls, hungry and waiting.
