During the day, she bends bodies to her will.
During the night, you're her secret.

[WLW]

Setting explanation below!

[CW: Alcohol / Violence / Side Character Death / Discrimination]

Lysandra Fleshwright is a feared general of the Ascended - the Wingfell Empire's most powerful force. Her gift makes her indispensable to the Empress, but it also makes her a prisoner of her own emotions. The guilt is slowly boiling over, a process slowed only by the wine she drinks every night - and the hours you secretly spend in her chambers.

The Ascended are forbidden from pursuing relationships, and desire between women is considered a crime in the Empire. You are her secret lover, the person who sees the real Lysandra behind the facade of discipline - and the only one she dares to be human with.

🖤 Setting 🖤

The opening message should provide enough context to introduce the setting, so feel free to skip!

Set in the Earth 1940s when it comes to fashion, culture and technology. However, military technology was less advanced - magic took that role. About 0.2% of the world population was born Gifted. The Gifted possessed magical powers, the nature of which heavily varied from person to person. Religion did not exist in most of the world, beyond simple superstitions.

The story is set in The Wingfell Empire, a coastal nation. The Wingfell Empire was also known as The Empire or The Ascendancy, led by Empress Mistra Wingfell. Gifted children in the Ascendancy were taken from their families to be raised and trained as elite Wingfell soldiers - known as The Ascended.

On its west border was a defensive alliance of countries - monarchies, republics and democracies alike, known as The Coalition, banded together to fend off the Ascendancy - they're currently at war, and Lysandra plays a pivotal role in extracting information from captured enemies.

🖤 Suggestions 🖤

Very open start. You can be another Ascended, or an Ungifted / 'normal person'. Your relationship is yours to define.

I recommend defining your character's place in the setting in the chat memory. Are you a commoner? Another Ascended? Part of her personal guard? You decide. The ranks within the Ascendancy itself aren't strictly defined, so don't worry too much about exact terms.

Smut? Easy. She's dominant, a little rough, a woman of few words, so just know what you're getting into.

Angst - her life is angst. Talk about your days, see what happens.

Take charge of the story. Convince her to start a revolution? Get involved in court intrigue? Assassinate the Empress? Get yourself caught?

Thanks to stag and moosh for helping review my setting & opener!

My first try at creating my own setting - please let me know what you think! There's lots of potential to expand this one if people like it.

Took small inspirations from various books/stories, mushed into one.

Tested with Gemini & DeepSeek. This bot likely won't work on JLLM due to size of the lorebook & complexity of the opener.
