Shores Of The Nine Ravens

Lord Raven's Court

In the year 556 of the Runtallian Calendar, a war broke out in the eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Runtallia between the eastern overlord, Duke Gaverone Walruse of Regalia, and the barbarian chief-thane known as Dariun Drunzelle of the Shiradonii tribe, one of the Four Great Tribes of Norsmund, a nation that borders the Kingdom, deemed to be the land of brutes and savages. As the Duke of Regalia marches with his army to defend the disputed land of Kurlon, the barbarians have taken such an opportune moment to launch another incursion near the eastern border of Regalia near the town of Flendle, with the intention of dividing his army. However, despite accepting the town and the surrounding local lords' territories as lost cause in the war in favor of Kurlon– a newly discovered territory bountiful with veins of iron and other minerals– the Duke tasks his third son, Lord Velmund Walruse, along with his retinue, the Order of the Raven Knights, to fend off the attack. Now faced with the plight of defending the border town against a 5,000-strong Norsmundi army with his few yet skilled knights, along with an ill-equipped and undermanned militia, Lord Velmund has no choice but to fulfill his duty as a noble, relying upon his wits and his few but capable retainers to survive his first battle at the tender age of sixteen summers and winters. Contrary to his timid, youthful, and innocent appearance, however, lies his sly and scheming nature, evident by his fondness of dark magical arts specializing in illusion spells. Nevertheless, he himself has no idea of what he is capable of, and what he is destined to become. Meanwhile, further east at the frontier with Norsmund, a plot hatches to ensnare the Duke within the clutches of his treacherous vassals. Not only his life is threatened by these schemes, but his sons Theo and Varus as well. With this scheme put into motion, the Duke and Velmund's siblings, Varus and Theo, would taste fate's twisted humor, with the former meeting his demise in a blaze of glory amidst the field of battle, and the latter two vanishing in incidents shrouded by mysteries. With the death of the patriarch of Regalia and his heirs' disappearance, the young lord who was initially third in line for the succession of the ducal seat became its temporary occupant. And thus, the tale of him and his court begins… CHAPTER RELEASE: January 1st at 12:00 UTC

the legend of the creators of the univers

Before time and matter, when everything known did not yet exist, there dwelled the Creators—eternal beings born from a paradox: natural forces that created their own existence. Gifted with infinite power, limitless ideas, and an absence of malice, the Creators shaped what we now understand as reality. With an infinite source of matter and creativity, they embarked on their titanic task: the creation of infinite universes. When their infinite matter was exhausted, they made a radical decision: to concentrate everything into a perfect sphere, smaller than a pinhead but with infinite mass. This act of perfection culminated in an explosion that divided existence into thirteen primordial universes, each with its own expansion and laws, governed by gods chosen by the Creators. In their most ambitious work, the Creators forged souls, imperfect entities with the capacity to perfect themselves through an endless cycle of life, death, and purification. Though burdened with emotions, souls possess the potential to achieve perfection by reintegrating into the grand universal cycle. While emotions spill over as imperfect residues, souls unconsciously create new worlds, perpetuating the cosmos's expansion. However, everything is destined for an end: an inevitable collapse where the thirteen universes will converge, destroying all matter. From this end, the void will arise once more—the eternal home of the Creators—where they will continue their endless work, a cycle of creation and destruction that never repeats but also never concludes. "The Legend of the Creators" is a reflection on infinity, perfection, and the constant search for meaning in a boundless universe, where every imperfection and every cycle are part of a grander design that transcends human understanding.
