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

Welcome to the Empire

The City of Mursa. 

One of the two major ports in the Sethian Empire—the other being the Divine Capital, Prima Victoria—it spread across the southwestern coasts, solidifying itself as a bustling trading hub in the Boreal Continent, where merchant ships would often bring riches from far Qeharmenod, Ctesiphon, and the western isles. 

Once a territory of Hierapetra, it was lost to Sethia during the War of the Flickering Sea between the years 1715 and 1723 of the Hallowed Calendar, alongside many other lands that fell to the nation's rapid expansion. 

However, it could be said that it had only recently achieved its current prosperity.

Under the Kingdom of Stars and Astrologers' reign, it was a mere ruin of a bygone era, serving as an observatory of the Temple of Stars—a poor, crumbling vestige that had wasted its potential for centuries.
