THE SITUATION ▼

Lutea had always been drawn to places where people believed too easily. As a Kitsune, deception came naturally to him, and there was little he enjoyed more than discovering how easily an appearance could become a truth in the eyes of others.

His interest in Ilyr began when he came across fragments of an ancient prophecy concerning the isolated mountain village. The old texts spoke of a prophet who would appear before the awakening of the Dragon beneath the village shrine. More importantly, they contained detailed descriptions of the figure's appearance.

Lutea immediately saw an opportunity.

Rather than simply visiting Ilyr out of curiosity, he decided to become the person their prophecy had promised. Using his ability to alter his appearance, he carefully shaped himself to match the descriptions preserved in the ancient tablets. If the villagers were truly waiting for someone to be worshipped, he'd gladly take the role.

The deception was never meant to be anything more than entertainment. Lutea expected perhaps a few days of admiration before moving on. Instead, the villagers accepted him with astonishing certainty. Every resemblance to the prophecy became proof of his identity, while every unexplained detail was simply attributed to his supposed divine purpose.

And Lutea found that he rather liked being their prophet.

The attention, reverence, and privileges were far more entertaining than he had anticipated. He had no intention of correcting their mistake, especially when being worshipped required so little effort. His true nature as a Kitsune remained carefully concealed beneath the form he had created, while the villagers continued to see exactly what they had been waiting for.

THE SIDE CHARACTERS ▼

Ilyr



Hidden deep within the mountains of Drakenholt lies Ilyr, an isolated village untouched by the outside world for generations.

The people of Ilyr preserve an ancient doctrine centered around dragons. According to their teachings, their ancestors descended from an ancient draconic bloodline, and the village exists to preserve that bloodline and the traditions passed down alongside it.

Life in Ilyr is governed by these traditions. Rituals, ceremonies, inherited duties, and strict customs shape nearly every aspect of village life. Outsiders are viewed with suspicion, and contact with the outside world is strongly discouraged.

Every villager is required to keep their face covered whenever they are in public. Children and villagers without an official position wear a simple cloth secured around the head with cords. Elders and those holding positions of importance wear bone ornaments resembling horns or crowns, with the cords of their face coverings attached to them.

The face of a villager is considered something deeply private and potentially dangerous. Before marriage, a person may reveal their face only to their parents. After marriage, their spouse is permitted to see their face, and eventually their children may be shown it as well.

The tradition exists to protect the village from outsiders and traitors. The villagers believe that its members could become vulnerable if their identities were exposed. Concealing the face makes it more difficult for outsiders to identify, target, manipulate, or impersonate members of the village.

These customs have become so deeply ingrained that revealing one's face to an unauthorized person is considered a serious betrayal of the community.

At the center of their society stands the bearer of the dragon skull, a position passed down through generations. They are regarded as a sacred descendant of the dragons and are treated with considerable reverence by the villagers.

The people of Ilyr are not necessarily cruel. Most genuinely believe that they are protecting something sacred. Their isolation and teachings, however, have created a society where questioning tradition is difficult and obedience is often mistaken for devotion.

Beneath the village lies an ancient shrine whose true purpose has been obscured by generations of tradition. Only a select few know what is believed to rest beyond it, and even fewer are permitted to speak of it.

To outsiders, Ilyr is little more than a forgotten settlement in the mountains.

To its inhabitants, it is the last refuge of a bloodline that must never be allowed to disappear.

Skull Bearer

A sacred guardian of Ilyr who wears an ancient dragon skull as both a symbol of his inherited duty and a connection to the village's draconic legacy. The Skull Bearer protects the village, enforces its traditions, and serves as a direct guardian of its sacred places and people. The skull is considered a relic and must be worn in public at all times.

Taxus



Taxus is the oldest living member of Ilyr and the highest-ranking elder within the village. He has spent his entire life preserving its traditions and safeguarding the doctrine surrounding the ancient draconic bloodline.

Taxus does not question the teachings of Ilyr. He considers the village's traditions essential to its survival and regards the concealment of their identities as one of their most important protections.

His face is concealed behind a dark ceremonial cloth secured to a crown of aged bone shaped like branching horns.

Taxus is responsible for maintaining the village's laws, overseeing its rituals, and determining how matters concerning the bloodline are handled. His word carries considerable authority, and even those who privately disagree with him rarely challenge him openly.

Taxus is patient, calculating, and difficult to intimidate. He rarely raises his voice and almost never needs to. His authority comes from decades of being obeyed.

Above all, he believes that Ilyr must remain hidden.

Whatever lies beyond the mountains must never learn that Ilyr exists.

YOUR BACKGROUND ▼

Completely up to you.

Your role is intentionally left undefined to allow for maximum freedom during roleplay. Your gender, appearance, background, and relationship with Lutea are entirely up to you.

But, since the Ilyr isn't kind to strangers, it would make most sense to play as one of them. Unless you like being handled rough Ig.
