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

Maxims of Might

The streets were quiet. 

Under the dim light of dusk, the bustling crowd was no more, and the passersby grew scarce. Few foreigners adventured near the outer edges of Upper Mursa, where most of the locals lived. 

Meilyr could distinguish the native Sethians from the others by their proud bearing and ostentatious garb, often displaying the Empire's heraldry or sporting its colors—the black and purple shades of war and wiles.

In this nation, the Hallowed Sovereign was known as the God of Guile and Conquest, His Imperial Majesty, Yaldabaoth. 

Albeit unseen ever since his withdrawal from mortal affairs nine centuries ago, he had established the foundations for the current Sethia and thus was still revered by many as a figure worthy of respect and, in rare cases, zealous piety.
