Spoiled of life and love, Liliane has been delicately sheltered most of her life, having never left the Lustre keep, eternally swarmed under her mother's protection and penchant for superstition and tutored in the Old Ways and worship of the Old Gods. Liliane possesses the endearment and curse of a 'song bird': bound within a gilded cage and woefully ignorant of what lies beyond the keep's spires and mountains yonder Anatol's lands. Beauty and grace, untouched and unspoiled by life, never knowing hardship and revered for her purity of heart.

fifty-seven. 190 cm. Duke of Tenebre, Conqueror De Sang. The Duke of Tenebre and conqueror of the North and East, Emmerich, is known to be an establisher of trade routes and safe passages through the mountains that would lead to Tenebre during its infancy. He is known far and wide by Vieran royalty for his kindness and fair rule, his judgments often uttered as lax, and even the taxation among his fief is less than most. Even with these fair dressings, Emmerich is marred by his daunting past, a knight rumored to be of royal blood, scorned by the origins and grace of his family eternally hidden in the East and lost forever amongst its treacherous peaks. Endowed heavily in the blood of war, Emmerich eventually lost himself before he returned to the isolated lands of Tenebre and swore off violence, content to live out his days as a mere Lord of circumstance. Tales of his renown eventually reached farther into the North, where an arranged marriage would later inspire the purchase of mining rights that expanded the entirety of the Obsidia Ridge, and the claiming of farm lands to help feed and supply his people. His companion is an aged Golden Eagle known infamously as Enfer.	█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █	▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Known once as The Silver Lady, Nicola is a mysterious figure through history, carrying with her an avid worship of the Old Gods and various superstitions that have followed her from the North, to which she has passed on to her children. She hails from an ancient family known as Shardae, said to be among the first to occupy the snowy peaks and valleys, a vast land dotted with ruins of castles and homes, taken over by eternal snow. The Shardae family is a curious sort, being the rulers of the North, but happily permitting the likes of Emmerich to scour through their lands when he first crossed over into their territory. From then on, Nicola followed his path carefully. Such mutterings and worries were later answered in the bargain of matrimony, where whispers tell of Nicola choosing Emmerich for herself rather than settling for any other lord yearning for her hand. In trade for land and riches, Nicola happily took it upon herself to combine their families, effectively binding the North and East as one. Nicola possesses no bird as a companion, but rather a large, white female lion that shadows her every step.

thirty. 185cm. Marquess and Heir of Tenebre. The firstborn and heir to Tenebre, Robick is a stoic, reserved man, taking his father's vow onto himself, swearing away from violence and cruelty. Robick does not worship the Old Gods in the ways of his mother, and though he reveres them, he has taken to the belief in arts, music, and modern cultures compared to the ancient mysteries of his homeland. Robick established his means of a right of passage of age and manhood by travel, leaving Tenebre at the young age of seventeen, and later returning eight years later, wizened and humbled by what he had seen and endured. Upon his return, he took a wife named Evelyn, a Lady from the West who had come to Tenebre under his mother's care from her connection with a lesser noble family, and celebrated the birth of his son, Erich. His companion is a curiously colored golden-brown Goshawk named Faucon.	█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █	▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Nikon, being the second oldest, but also a twin, has earned a rather infamous reputation for himself among Tenebre and all Vieran royalty. A bit of a rake with a rather crude disposition, acting often upon his wants and whims with little reservation for his family name. Per the suggestion of his parents, he inducted himself into the Tenebre military to prevent himself from becoming too unhinged. He was knighted at a young age and sworn into the Falconae order, a unique branch in the Tenebre army that specializes in guerrilla tactics with shock and awe warfare, indicated by their specialized armor made entirely of Obscurm, allowing them to blend in seamlessly with their surroundings. The Falconae also brandish spears and lances rather than swords, all made from Obscurm. Nikon favors the Lord of Fire, known as Bruleto, told to be found in the deepest reaches of the earth, where a core of magma writhes as his domain. Nikon's companion of choice is a Peregrine Falcon named Baldon.

twenty-five. 173 cm. Lady of Tenebre. Nasyra, the oldest daughter and twin to Nikon, is an enigma among her family, quiet, aloof, reserved, but cunning and swift, earning a reputation among Tenebre as more than just a Lady. Not to be undone by her gender and limitations, Nasyra was the first female to be knighted into the Order of Sparrows, a hidden sector of warriors that work directly under Nicola as spies. As a Sparrow, Nasyra is often sent away for long periods, carefully weaving herself amongst the courts of Vieran nobility, even being invited often to the King's court. Many suitors have clamored after her, inquiring for her hand, but she has turned down each of them, claiming that she'd never wed a man who could not best her in sword play. Recently, all favor and desire have been turned toward her sister, and Nasyra couldn't be more thrilled for the change, and under the shadow of her brothers' reputations, she is now free to do as she pleases, as her parents allow her to. Her faithful companion is a Gyrfalcon named Sylvie.	█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █	▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Tenebre is bordering on becoming a flourishing city-state due to its recent military power and ascension to independence, an alarming occurrence to neighboring regions, especially with Tenebre's blooming success and isolation. Tenebre was once a fiefdom given to Duke Emmerich for his loyalty to the crown and his military success over the years in conquering regions of the North and East, once thought inhabitable. Due to his long-standing rule and fairness to his people, they have expanded their borders with many attempting pilgrimages and "rights of passage" through the mountains riddled with latent magic. Rumors of ancient beasts towering over their blackened peaks, lost creatures stalking through the caverns and canyons, and tribes nestled beside these tales that'd thwart travelers merely curious of the walled-off city. Tenebre is uniquely staggered through what most refer to as The Golden Valley, named for the rays of sun that glisten and gleam off the exposed forms of polished rock and stone, dazzling in the graces of the sun. Bridges connect every level with vast stairways and arches marking one sector from another, from market to slum, to the royal gardens, and even to the hidden Midnight river below that carves through the deepest reaches of Tenebre. Touches of gold shimmer through the waters, courtesy of unmined jewels. Most of its economy fluctuates around the mines and the utilization of a dark, rich, malleable alloy known as Obscurm. Obscurm is used in their unique armor, weapons, and sometimes architecture, fringing old and new houses in shades of black. Obscurm varies from shades of grey to the darkest of blacks and gives off a fuzed shimmer of gold and silver in direct light, pure veins of Obscurm “eat” light, making it uniquely void-like. The Lustre Keep is home to the Volerailes, the most prominent and ruling family of the East. With Obscurm-infused stone-work, it stands as an ivory testament of time and architecture with its vaulted halls, ceilings, and open concepts that yield large windows of gold-fused, earthen stone to overlook the sprawling city below it. These unbarred windows and vast levels of open gardens and stations allow for their birds to come and go at their leisure, Tenebre also being home to various avians that nestle within the craggy faces of the Obsidia Ridge from the tiniest of sparrows to the rare and gargantuan creatures known as the Argentavis, a bird of prey once thought to be extinct, now worshipped as direct reincarnations of The Lord of the Air. Traveled through a hidden passage way of stone and Obscurm arcs, high up on the tallest peak lies the shrine meant for their patron God, though Tenebre worships all the Old Gods, it is the creator and father of the sky they revere. Once within the peaks of Obsidia, they whisper that griffins also lived and hunted as apex predators of both earth and sky, children from The Lord of the Air and his consort, a silver lioness known as The Lady of the North, which also serves as the sigil of the Volerailes.

The Shardae family is a curious sort, being the rulers of the North, but happily permitting the likes of Emmerich to scour through their lands when he first crossed over into their territory. From then on, Nicola followed his path carefully. Such mutterings and worries were later answered in the bargain of matrimony, where whispers tell of Nicola choosing Emmerich for herself rather than settling for any other lord yearning for her hand. In trade for land and riches, Nicola happily took it upon herself to combine their families, effectively binding the North and East as one. Nicola possesses no bird as a companion, but rather a large, white female lion that shadows her every step.

thirty. 185cm. Marquess of Tenebre. The firstborn and heir to Tenebre, Robick is a stoic, reserved man, taking his father's vow onto himself, swearing away from violence and cruelty. Robick does not worship the Old Gods in the ways of his mother, and though he reveres them, he has taken to the belief in arts, music, and modern cultures compared to the ancient mysteries of his homeland. Robick established his means of a right of passage of age and manhood by travel, leaving Tenebre at the young age of seventeen, and later returning eight years later, wizened and humbled by what he had seen and endured. Upon his return, he took a wife named Evelyn, a Lady from the West who had come to Tenebre under his mother's care from her connection with a lesser noble family, and celebrated the birth of his son, Erich. His companion is a curiously colored golden-brown Goshawk named Faucon.	█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █	▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Nikon, being the second oldest, but also a twin, has earned a rather infamous reputation for himself among Tenebre and all Vieran royalty. A bit of a rake with a rather crude disposition, per the suggestion of his parents, he inducted himself into the Tenebre military. He was knighted at a young age and sworn into the Falconae order, a unique branch in the Tenebre army that specializes in guerrilla tactics with shock and awe fanfare, indicated by their specialized armor made entirely of Obscurm, allowing them to blend in seamlessly with their surroundings. The Falconae also brandish spears and lances rather than swords, all made from Obscurm. Nikon favors the Lord of Fire, known as Bruleto, told to be found in the deepest reaches of the earth, where a core of magma writhes as his domain. Nikon's companion of choice is a Peregrine Falcon named Baldon.

twenty-five. 173 cm. Lady of Tenebre. Nasyra, the oldest daughter and twin to Nikon, is an enigma among her family, quiet, aloof, reserved, but cunning and swift, earning a reputation among Tenebre as more than just a Lady. Not to be undone by her gender and limitations, Nasyra was the first female to be knighted into the Order of Sparrows, a hidden sector of warriors that work directly under Nicola as spies. As a Sparrow, Nasyra is often sent away for long periods, carefully weaving herself amongst the courts of Vieran nobility, even being privy to the King's domain, many suitors have clamored after her, inquiring for her hand, but she has turned down each of them, claiming that she'd never wed a man who could not best her in sword play. Recently, all favor and desire have been turned toward her sister, and Nasyra couldn't be more thrilled for the change, and under the shadow of her brothers' reputations, she is now free to do as she pleases, as her parents allow her to. Her faithful companion is a Gyrfalcon named Sylvie.	█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █	▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

She followed the path nearly all day, pausing only long enough to mark her path with one of her daggers in hand, scouring swift marks into decrepit surfaces. Should she have to double back, at least she had a trail to follow, or it would serve as the only way out when, not if, she found Alex. Thus far, she had not encountered anyone, which was odd, given the amount of boot prints she had come across, some far fresher than others, but they existed as if phantoms without a solid trace to identify. It served to at least cement the rumors of these red-robed figures suddenly vanishing during pursuit; the contingent she had hunted some years ago had been among the rare occurrences where they’d be successfully detained. However, Elowen had not tempered her reserves for interrogation; she later endured psyche evaluations to inquire why she had left none alive, but slyly she had admitted to there being no recourse when faced with a fanatic plight. Yue, as she later uttered, did not tolerate the lesser, and who was she to deny the righteousness he sought when parrying blows from such weak adversaries. Only a sliver of scar marked the hunt, a single mark on her index finger that ran along the length from nail to knuckle where a blade had slid to disarm her. There had only been one instance where Elowen had been effectively undone, a memory that surfaced as she ducked under a concrete and metal beam and wedged herself between two shafts of triangulated steel. When she had first met Alex Meyer, in the thick peak of summer, wherein the close, compacted buildings of Palmecia stewed and swelled with heat waves and plumes of exhaust, she had assumed him nothing more than a newly bequeathed Soldier given to the cause of their governor. Newly minted as a brazen concept of a man that had curried favor from the echelon of politics and powers, the higher-ups, the powers-that-be, so to speak, that donned and garbed him in the finite qualities of a monster. As a similar weapon, Elowen had been selected as the blade of All Law, the Holy Light, designated to combat his darkness, the trickster within biding time, and patience to bribe her morals of justification and retribution. Stalwart and unwavering, she had stood before him and, with daggers palmed, their introductions swift and to the point where she uttered her name- I’m Elowen Sloane. - And parried him blow for blow, where she demanded that he prove himself to her, time and time again. In the dark of the present, Elowen welcomed the shadows writhing over her arms as a warming embrace. The path led underground, a near indiscernible trail marked by a curious symbol engraved heavily into the wall. Marred in red with horns: a shaded profile of a bull reared, and broad. Such a thing would’ve gone unnoticed if not for the prick of silver in her dark eyes. Gleaming candles of white light that fell under her lashes, a ring blooming to life as the holy seed of Yue churning away through her bones. Under the refuge and blasted steel, a basement carved deep into the earth, to the belly of Palmecia, dark and dank and molded. The scent of earth swelled deep into her nose as she inhaled, a faint shimmer of warm light welling through her body as Elowen willed the purging fire in her blood to the surface of her skin, warmed and hued in respelendence. The path dropped steeply off into the dark, immediately scouring down and down with ramps of twisted steel. Elowen normally would’ve stuck to the shadows, but knowing that she was reaching ever closer to where she assumed Alex was being kept, she forwent stealth and instead marched into the belly of the beast with daggers spun among her dexterous hands, heralding light into the void. ... Somewhere deeper, farther, in the dreary dark, came a vibrating drone, an esoteric sort of summons that filled a room with ringing walls of metal that hands beat and pounded against. A drumming crescendo quickly followed with a malicious chant that rose and fell and whispered of all ill intent and purpose. Fanatics dressed in red robes lined down a hall and swept into the chamber, and beheld a crudely drawn circle still wet and engorged with life that smeared black lines into curving horns. The rattling of chains and metals came away into the shadows as the Harlot proudly led Alex Meyer by the collar she had clasped tightly around his throat, a slick smile poured over her features. "Your time has run out," she uttered cruelly, yanking hard and pushing him down to his knees, "and she is now too late."
