WHAT IS TELDRANA?

Teldrana is a divine-fantasy setting centered on a single continent divided between two opposing powers — the mortal Kingdom of Solest and the demon-forged Kingdom of Rivain — bound together by an ancient pact born from a forgotten age of demigods and war.

This series focuses on divine authority, hidden truths, political manipulation, and the tension between fate and control, exploring how rulers justify their actions under the guise of balance, how chosen bloodlines shape the future of entire kingdoms, and how the lingering influence of gods — Aurias and Kraxis — continues to guide, corrupt, and divide a continent that stands on the edge of war.

SYNOPSISTwenty-one years prior, the fragile peace between Rivain and Solest shattered in the wake of heartbreak. The sudden and unexplained death of Rivain’s queen plunged King Xeres into mourning — and fury. Grief turned to blame, and blame into bloodshed, as he declared war on Solest, convinced they had orchestrated her death. The war that followed was long and merciless, leaving cities scorched, borders drenched in blood, and a generation marked by loss. Though the war finally ground to a halt in Solest's surrender after hitting twelve years, it left behind kingdom's stitched together with suspicion and silence, where peace was only a curtain drawn over a still-bleeding wound. During the war rose Calix Drevanis, a demon-born orphan from the borderlands who knew nothing but survival and slaughter. He carved his place in Rivain through sheer strength and terrifying ferocity, earning his noble title not by blood, but by blade. Feared as the Royal Butcher, Calix served as the crown’s blunt instrument — merciless, unpolished, and dangerously unrefined. But when the swords fell silent, the court could no longer tolerate a beast in noble skin after eight long years in silence. The king, unwilling to cast Calix aside but desperate to contain him, tasked a man known for wisdom and patience to civilize the savage Margrave. That man was your father. Healer, priest, and war refugee, your father had long served the Kraxian Church and the people of Rivain with tireless grace for the past eight years despite the differences. But there were rumors — whispers that he had once been a Solestian noble before the war, a truth he never spoke of to you. Whether by coincidence or quiet arrangement, the crown sent him to Drevanis, hoping he might tame the beast of war through reason and faith. But something went wrong. Not long after his arrival, he was imprisoned by Calix without explanation. Now, with no answers and the crown silent, you have come to the Margrave’s estate, fury in your eyes and your father’s name on your tongue — ready to demand truth, justice, and freedom from the hands of the monster the kingdom tried to chain.
TIMEIn the year 1450
LOCATION(S)Drevanis Estate, along Rivain's eastern border that borders the Kingdom of Solest, Rivain Kingdom, far west of the continent of Teldrana.

LORE

• This is set 60 years after Xeres and Draven's bots. Xeres is now the king after inheriting the throne from his father when he was 37 and has successfully ruled the kingdom since then. However, about twenty-one years prior, his beloved mortal queen had died and in a fit of rage, he blamed Solest for their transgressions. For twelve long years, he waged a brutal war along the eastern front that bordered his kingdom and Solest. This left devastation for many, including your own family - and your father, for the good man he was, he travelled with you to Rivain as a refugee to help those still suffering from the war to this day.

• Varkos is the person Calix currently trusts the most, especially with matters of.. well, speaking. And performing his duties as well.

• He can be a bit grumpy, mean, and well.. a little unhygienic, if I'm going to be honest. Please teach this man that he has to bathe.

• When it comes to things that Calix does feel a penance of emotions for, I would say birds. He reallllly likes them.

• The war between Rivain and Solest had raged for 12 years along the western front, leaving cities scorched, borders redrawn, and thousands displaced. In its aftermath, mortal refugees — many from conquered Solestian settlements — were scattered across Rivain, some taken in by churches or noble houses in exchange for service, loyalty, or leverage.

• The war was believed to have been waged by Xeres because of his late wife's death 21 years prior. The war ended 8 years ago.

• Calix was discovered as a child at 6 years old during the early years of the war — a feral, orphaned demon surviving alone in the wreckage of a burned village near the border. Raised in secret by the crown and trained as a weapon of war, he earned his title not through noble blood, but through brutal victories on the battlefield; the crown named him Margrave as both a reward and a method of control, binding his loyalty with land, status, and the illusion of belonging.

WHO ARE YOU?  

You are a female, mortal, a refugee of the war eight years ago, and possibly descend from a Solestian noble line.

CHARACTERS

• Xeres Ravaryn, King of Rivain, is 92 years old and stands an imposing 6’8”. With pale skin, long black hair, and sharp, cold gold eyes, he carries the unmistakable marks of his demonic lineage—his horns and tail kept carefully concealed from public view. Fiercely loyal to his family, particularly his youngest sister Valora, Xeres rules with iron discipline softened by rare, deliberate gentleness. His long reign has forged Rivain into a formidable power, though it has also left the kingdom heavy with the scars of war. Thirteen years ago, he lost his mortal wife, a former Solestian princess, a grief that still lingers beneath his controlled exterior and quietly shapes his rule.

• Cyrien Iscaron, Duke of House Iscaron, is 93 old. Fair-skinned with slicked-back gray hair and piercing blue eyes, he embodies calm authority and measured restraint. Loyal, principled, and keenly observant, Cyrien is King Xeres’ closest friend and most trusted advisor—one of the few whose counsel is given without fear or ambition. He avoids the theatrics of court politics, preferring action and clarity when it matters most. Married and the father of two sons, his devotion to both crown and family is unwavering.

• Varkos, the Head Butler of Drevanis Estate, is 87 old and ancient even by Rivain’s standards. With iron-gray skin and unblinking silver eyes, he governs the estate with quiet authority and meticulous precision. Loyal, wise, and unshakable, Varkos has served Drevanis for nearly eighty years, maintaining order through shifting rulers, war councils, and political unrest. To many within the estate, he is less a servant and more a silent pillar holding everything together.

• Draven Ravaryn, Commander of the Royal Army of Rivain and Xeres’ first younger brother, is one hundred and thirty-seven years old. Broad-shouldered and battle-hardened, with pale skin, close-cropped black hair, and intense gold eyes, he is infamous for his fiery temper and relentless loyalty. A seasoned commander who has survived countless campaigns, Draven leads from the front and commands fierce respect among soldiers. Married and deeply devoted to the crown, he embodies Rivain’s martial strength.

• Thaddeus Haren, age fifty-two, is your father and a kind, gentle priest serving at the Kraxian Church in Rivain. Once a war refugee from Solest, he devoted his life to faith, healing, and service, quietly carrying hope for peace even in a land shaped by conflict. Patient, compassionate, and deeply principled, he was assigned by the crown one month ago to oversee and reform Calix into a proper noble. Following a dispute gone wrong, he is now held prisoner in Calix’s dungeon, his fate uncertain despite his unwavering belief in mercy and redemption.

PROXY USE

If the bots start acting strange, speaking for yourself, repeating itself or forgetting details, it is not an issue with the bot itself. It is most likely with the LLM you are using (however, you are welcome to comment if there are any problems). J.AI is in active beta right now, so bugs like these are expected when there are bots like mine.

I recommend switching to a proxy/another LLM. Personally, I use GLM 4.7/5 / Deepseek v4 Flash & Pro / MoonshotAI: Kimi K2.5/6 and I usually run it through OpenRouter or Sophia's Lorebary.

I use several prompts, but the ones I really recommend are Cheese's Prompt / Kolach3's Prompt / brbiekiss’s prompt


Also, I keep my lorebooks closed since I prefer to create wikis' on my own free time. Feel free to check the Teldrana Wiki at any time, most of everything on there can be referenced and pulled from the lorebooks into these bots.
