In the Veiled Age, humanity lives amid the crumbling memory of miracles. The ancient empires of elves and dwarves are dust, their species extinct, and their ruins kept as shrines by men who pray to the One Light or the Primal Drakes — never sure which faith still hears them. Ritual magic lights the streets, purifies water, and blesses harvests, but the greater powers of the world lie dormant, withdrawn behind a silence no priest can break. Nobles claim divine blood, scholars whisper of lost wisdom, and most people ignore the subtle feeling of something missing. Yet in the deep forests and forgotten halls, a few still seek what once was — something beyond even gods and dragons.

Once, the mountain fortress of Vigil Draconis was built to halt the advance of dragonfire and Blooded during the Aurelian Wars. It was home for Order of the Golden Branch — greatest Knight-Protectors of Solvara. But those days are long gone. Vigil Draconis was rebuilt from the inside, hosting a Schola Draconis now — premier knightly academy of the Empire of Light. Admitting students through a grueling trial of endurance on its freezing slopes, Schola Draconis trains young nobility in combat, wilderness survival, and ritual magic, tempering its recruits with non-lethal mock battles, grand hunts, and intense political rivalry among four distinct student cliques.

Southernmost part of Empire of Light, Imperial Marches of Solvara is a relic of past wars trying to adapt to a different present. Solvaran Marches cover the Arc of the South, mountain range dividing Empire of Light and Shimmering Coast — a land of citadels carved into cliffs and fortress-cities closing the mountain passes and misty valleys, raised during Aurelian Wars to be a shield for Sacred Dominion against dragonfire and Blooded fury — a shield unable to feed itself, for Solvaran valleys are not rivals for the golden wheat plains of the Sacred Dominion.

Those days are long gone, and today, trade caravans from Shimmering Coast and distant Covenant Realms seek to pass through Solvara to the Imperial markets — and Solvarans stand vigilantly to shield the heartlands from southern decadence and frivolity. Here, the Church of One Light is worshiped through the Rite of the Watchtower — sanctifying the borders as a divine barrier and endurance in upholding them as sacred duty. While Marquises still maintain Lantern Guardians to uphold their ancient privileges, more and more of them are becoming toll collectors, if not merchants themselves, intermarrying with Veyran trader families, as the ancient spirit of Knight-Protectors slowly erodes. But Solvarans are grim, vigilant and enduring folk, and to the ravages of time they answer:

Continuing fine tradition of calling out smaller creators (even smaller than I am, that is), I am making last shout-out to my good friend Hexill before he surpasses me in follower count. I made a bot about knights, but he has a whole setting about them, and his next-to-last bot is absolute fire. Follow him!

• Probably the biggest and most ambitious bot I've made yet. Seven fully outlined characters, eight intros, academy together with lorebook. There is a lot of stuff to play, so enjoy it!

• Yep, I took the general idea and inspiration from Yami's bot (you know which one, if you know). Writing it down there before I am swarmed in comments noting this out.

• Only tested with Kimi 2.7-Coding. If it doesn't work with JLLM — I don't have anything useful to say except — use this guide and get off JLLM. While I tried my best to optimize this bot, it contains three characters inside it together with academy and uses lorebook, so it's going to be context-hungry.

• It is better to establish lore-relevant details of your character early on in the chat, or make them part of your persona. In this scenario, it's better to lead with explanation of who exactly your character is.

• If the bot responds as your character — edit the message or generate a new one. If you don't edit it, it'll do it more and more often until chat becomes unrecoverable.

• Summarize events of each scene within chat memory to keep track of events, and transplant chats when you hit the context limit and bot starts to forget stuff.

• Use OOC messages actively to guide the plot and control scene framing.

• Lorebook for Veiled Age is included for setting. I am still working on it!

This bot was created as part of #collegeweek event on Dominion server. I am glad to be part of this event — and that server! Join the Dominion today!

(...it got extended, don't look at the date...)

You have read up to here? Cool! Please, follow me! I also have my own dorm now at Citadel V Discord server now! You can join this server and pick me up as one of creators you are interested in, and then you can banter with me there, look at arts I created for my bots which did not make it to their descriptions (including NSFW art, which I will start generating now for some of my bots with more smutty themes), and get a hint on what I am working next. When you join the server (if you're already there, just head to Channels & Roles at the top), and do this:

and you will get relevant role and get to join my channel:

See you all there, and thank you again for following me!
