In the gilded halls of Val-D’Orage, being the "Favorite" is a death sentence disguised as privilege.

After an audience with the High King, {{user}} crosses paths with the only storm the King cannot tame: Princess Lysandra. With a smirk on her lips and a proposal laced with danger, the moor-warrior decides it is time for the "Crowned Mortal" to learn that there are far more interesting hands than those of a dying monarch.

Is it an invitation or an ambush?

In Aelthwyn, they are both the same thing...

જ⁀➴ We begin this story where you play the role of {{user}}, the human who has captured the King's attention, becoming his absolute favorite. However, you hold a vital role in this tale as the "human of the prophecy," though you are not yet aware of it.

Want to know more about the prophecy?

Ask the character about the "Crowned Mortal."

જ⁀➴ Your backstory is entirely up to you. All that is known is that you come from the mortal world and were originally given as a gift—a servant—to the Queen Consort, Mabelle. However, your beauty and wit captivated the King, and you are now his favored companion.

જ⁀➴ It is worth noting that this world is inspired by a blend of Holly Black’s "The Folk of the Air" series and Bridgerton, infused with a heavy dose of dark romance. I needed that touch of fantasy in my life!

I can’t reveal much more since you’ll have to discover this universe yourself, but I have provided more information below.

THE ROYAL FAMILY

• High King Oberon IV: The immortal puppeteer. He rules through fear and refined cruelty. He has no physical heart, having replaced it with a diamond clockwork mechanism.

• Queen Consort Mabelle: Valerian’s mother. A cold genius of poisons and espionage. She runs the kingdom’s spy network and views her son as her ultimate weapon.

• Prince Valerian: The Heir of Thorns. A master of "Whisper Diplomacy" and psychological warfare. Elegant, lethal, and obsessed with secrets and control.

• Princess Lysandra: The Beast-Speaker. Commander of the Shadow Legion. She prefers the company of monsters over nobles and seeks to return Aelthwyn to its primal roots.

• Queen Morrigan (The Exiled): Lysandra’s mother. A powerful shapeshifter living in the Iron Moors. She leads the outcasts and plots a bloody revenge against Oberon.

COURT FIGURES & REBELS

• {{user}} (The Human Favorite): A mortal woman of extraordinary wit who has captured the King’s attention. She is the "Crowned Mortal" of the prophecy and a catalyst for the siblings' rivalry.

• Cyrian the Archivist: The blind head of the Academy of Thorns. He is the guardian of the "Book of True Names" and acts as a neutral mentor to the royal heirs.

• Sir Caelum: Captain of the Thorn Guard. A scarred warrior bound by a blood oath to a crown he secretly despises. He is a master of forbidden combat.

• The Leader of the Voiceless: A mysterious human rebel who escaped the King’s charm. She leads the silent revolution of those who have sewn their lips to avoid Fae oaths.

THE GREAT HOUSES

• House Vane: The Puppeteers. Masters of mental enchantments and gossip. (Allied with Queen Mabelle).

• House Blackwood: The Warmongers. Providers of enchanted weapons and military strategy. (Sir Caelum’s lineage).

• House Rosier: The Aesthetes. Patrons of "creative torture" and the most lavish, dangerous social events.

• House Morte: The Necromancers. Guardians of ancestral secrets and the labor force of the dead.

• House Chant: The Bards. Their voices are weapons capable of controlling emotions or killing with a single note.

MAP OF AELTHWYN

I. The Heart of the Empire

• Val-D’Orage (Capital): The neural center where King Oberon IV resides. A city of floating castles and eternal balls. It houses the Academy of Thorns, where the elite are educated under a lethal system of houses and points.

II. The Seasonal Courts (Major Duchies)

• Cryomhain (Winter): Frigid lands to the north. Famous for mining fallen stars and a culture of emotional coldness.

• Automne-Morte (Autumn): An infinite russet forest to the west. The hub for game meat and the setting for the Great Hunt.

• Scorching Sun (Summer): A white desert to the south. The realm of the most temperamental warriors and oppressive solar magic.

• Verde-Voraz (Spring): A carnivorous garden to the east. It produces the realm’s medicines and hallucinogens, hidden behind a facade of tea and flowers.

III. The Vassal Kingdoms (Specialized Territories)

• L’Écho des Verres: Located near the capital, it is the source of all magical glass and surveillance devices used by the nobility.

• Mors-Viva: The logistical arm of death. It provides the skeletal labor that ensures noble Fae never have to work the land.

• Spider-Silk (Hidden in the valleys): The empire’s tailoring workshop. Here, the garments that define social status are woven.

• Domain of Bitter Herbs: A toxic mountain zone where King Oberon’s youth elixirs and Queen Mabelle’s poisons are distilled.

• Lorelei Archipelago: Islands acting as the first line of defense against human ships, using song to sink intruders.

IV. The Abyss and the Beyond

• L’Ecume Noire: The submerged kingdom surrounding the southern coasts. An independent but allied aristocracy that controls the secrets of dreams.

• The Iron Moors: Beyond the northern borders. A wasteland of wild magic where beasts and outcasts plot the fall of the Courts under Queen Morrigan’s command.

Here you can make requests for a specific bot, alts, fandoms, series and things like that, sinful flower.

Hello, sinful flowers of my garden!

This is the second bot I’ve been working on, and I find her so interesting—she isn't your typical princess. She breaks the stereotype of the "perfect," prim, and overly sweet royal we’re all used to.

Her profile is also relatively low on tokens because she was an improvised creation. I spent most of my time developing the Lorebook, which is quite extensive! It fully details the Academy that the princes attend. Feel free to have your own character attend as well, since humans are also enrolled there.

I hope you sinful flowers enjoy it, go crazy.

╰─▸ I'm not an English speaker, so you'll probably find grammar and translation errors, and nonsense. Although I usually use AI to translate, sometimes it can make mistakes. However, I'm always open to corrections and advice in the comments. But be warned, if there's anything that makes me feel uncomfortable or if any review is harsh, it will be deleted.

╰─▸ I only write FemPov-style bots; it's what I feel comfortable with. However, I have no problem with you using male characters, or even making private versions of them to make them that style. It's fine as long as you don't pass it off as yours, and it's for private use only.

╰─▸ All my images, designs, characters, story, settings, and extra details are created by me, so copying or stealing them for other platforms is strictly prohibited. (All creators invest a lot of time in their daily lives to create bots, so let's be respectful of each other's work.) If you see any of these bots elsewhere, please report them, as I'm only on JanitorAI.

╰─▸ If the bot is speaking for you, repeating phrases. I'm really sorry. I try to avoid mentioning the user's own dialogue, but sometimes the jllm gets out of hand. Also, I generate all my images in Tensor for my bots. For the moodboards, most of the images come from Pinterest, so credit goes to their original creators, but there are also some that I created myself on Tensor.
