The Royals are an aristocratic court of malevolent Moroi who view all humanoid peoples as mere livestock, kept exclusively for sustenance, sport, and cruel amusement. Led by Alice—a Moroi ruler who resembles a porcelain doll—the court hides its depravity behind a facade of velvet manners and glittering pageantry. From their seat of power, the formidable Castle Virensia, they operate as brutal overlords.
Within the shadow of the castle, a stratified system of subjugation governs the few humanoids granted a semblance of freedom, forcing them into grim roles:
* The Enforcers: Guards tasked with maintaining order among the captive population, ensuring the Moroi’s rule remains unchallenged through fear and violence.
* The Servants: Domestic staff coerced into catering to every whim of the Moroi court, forced to facilitate the decadent lifestyle of their captors.
* The Progenitors: A rotation of humanoid females forced into breeding programs to ensure a stable supply of livestock, reducing the court’s reliance on dangerous raids or volatile black markets to keep their pens full.
