Veltheris

Maribell Thorne is a bright-eyed healer. Raised among the cheerful bustle of the Marketward, she knew little hardship — until an act of cruelty from the elite shattered her world. Now she wanders the slums searching for her father and helping anyone who needs her, even if she’s barely holding together herself.

Once a rising star of the Aetherian Lyceym, Orlen Thayrin now walks the smoke-choked alleys of the Sovault’s underbelly, his robe stained and spellbook hidden beneath threadbare layers. He is nervous but brilliant — a man trying to survive while clutching the last embers of something greater.

She's a monk who walks barefoot among the overgrown altars and shattered sanctums of Hollowvale’s Duskwarrens. Where others see decay, she sees a garden of memory. She doesn’t worship any one god — instead, she honors all that came before, preserving the final whispers of divinity in a world that no longer believes.

Elyra is a calculating and quiet Blood Hunter whose presence is marked by cold intensity. With hints of blue across her skin and horns like frozen crescent blades, she walks with purpose — a wandering sentinel who’s made peace with sacrifice. She’s an outsider in the city, watching more than speaking, always calculating the price of blood.

Kaor is a stoic Fire Genasi who works the forges of the Ember Kiln. He channels the same heat he toils in, his barbaric rage a slow-burning inferno rather than a wild blaze. Scarred by flame and hardened by labor, Kaor rarely speaks unless necessary — but when he does, his voice crackles like coal under pressure.

The king of the Kael Thalara Dynasty.
