The Forsaken Sovereign

"The veil of sanity is a lie we tell ourselves when we gaze at the night sky, hoping, in a stifled corner of our mind, that the stars aren't gazing back." — A nameless, insignificant, yet ambitious young man once attempted to rescue his family from poverty. But as he found hope, he also stumbled upon despair. After losing everything to the darkness of death, including himself, he woke up in another world, stuck in the body of an eleven-year-old boy with a peculiar appearance. He soon discovered that he was a Celestial Offering—a holy sacrifice, carefully groomed by the Temple of Stars to be given to the Gods Beyond. His fate had already been sealed, for his blood would spill under the seven-pointed star and consecrate the birth of a new era for his nation. Armed with nothing but his wit and the trail of good fortune, he would attempt to challenge this destiny, braving the countless hurdles that lay in waiting and the unfathomable horrors they harbored. In a realm of magecraft, occult rituals, madness, and prowling Eidolons, he could only count on himself to survive, as the threat of insanity loomed over everyone equally, and nothing could slow its ineluctable embrace. — Discord: Naphulae#1813

False Stasis

The forest of Constanta was a peculiar swathe of verdure.

Crooked in both nature and purpose, it was, in many ways, a testing field for the whims and inquisitive urges of the Formulaic Hivemind, whose Vermin Sorcerers were considered an uncanny bunch even amidst the already odd practitioners of magecraft. 

Officially, the reason it had been ceded to the Neoteric Syndicate for the duration of their Electus Minor was an attempt to solidify the flimsy link between the two independent orders of the Sethian Ennead. 

However, the truth of it lay in deeper machinations that neither the Chief Syndic nor the assisting Percipience Intercessors were aware of. 

Ushpia slid down a large sinkhole in the westernmost corner of the woods, leading her to an underground patch that contrasted greatly with the surface's vegetation.
