Luxaria Retold
✦Prologue

A world suspended at the edge of nothing

The light remembers one history. The dark remembers another.

IA thousand years ago

The Virtuous Gods wove Luxaria from nothing. Then the Fallen claimed their creation and ignited two centuries of divine war—or so the official history says. With every god who died, a star went dark.

200years of war
16gods at its beginning
7stars gone dark

The black wounds in the night sky remain as the Fallen Constellations.

IIThe world becomes a crater

The Primordials served neither Light nor Darkness. When the war threatened reality, they isolated the battlefield in a violent burst of elemental power and divided its enemies across separate planes.

What had been a world became a crater suspended inside the Void.

IIIChapter I · The world after

Luxaria ceased to be a boundless world. It became a gigantic crater floating alone inside the spatial darkness of the Void, a frozen dimension haunted by ancient and hungry things.

IVAt the center of all things

Its mirrored peaks pierce Luxaria above and below like a cosmic needle. The climb demands thirty days, but divine magic turns every mortal back at the halfway point. Only the Ten Eternals may cross that boundary.

Where Atria’s beam meets the High Heavens, the victors of the Divine War hold court. Two of their thrones stand cold.

Ragnar

The Supreme Judge

Active

God of justice and light. Leader of the gods and king of the High Heavens.

He has a particular fondness for warriors. His deepest desire is for soldiers to fall upon the battlefield with honour and dignity, earning a place beside him through the strength of their swords.

They arrive in Escalond carrying storms, secrets, living ink, forbidden gods, and debts the world was built to conceal.

The Storm Caller

Half-Elf · Marivan · Age 22

Power awakened

Static Flow

The air around him hums with static. When the storm he hides behind a marble-still face slips its leash, lightning answers his electric-blue eye.

“Perfection is just a cage with better tailoring.”
Innate stormcraftArcane professorHouse Valaeris

The Fortune Teller

Tiefling · Al’ Haif · Age 27

Power awakened

The Veil Reading

A worn tarot deck and a hand quicker than any eye. His cards fan out to read what the fates would rather hide, or to weave the illusions Escalond’s wealthy pay to believe.

“The cards never lie. People make that mistake for them.”
Living tarotCircus performerSharp wit

The Mountain Monk

Half-Goliath · Twilight Grove · Age 32

Power awakened

Primal Ink

Six mountain spirits live in his tattoos. Each mark hums with primal magic and lends him the instinct, strength or swiftness of the wild.

  • Viper
  • Jackal
  • Gorilla
  • Owl
  • Cheetah
  • Gecko

The Void Hunter

Eternal-blooded Human · Gal Doma · Age 31

Power awakened

Gunblade Nyx

Nyx’s blade cuts through dark magic as easily as its arcane shot shatters reality. Purple runes pulse along the steel, and an unnatural chill follows him.

“Every monster leaves a door behind it.”

The Soul Collector

Kobold · Ishan Island · Age 20

Power awakened

Spirit Sight

A tether between the mortal world and the realm of spirits. She weaves spirit energy through her arrows: mending a mortal wound one moment, loosing a fallen soul’s vengeance the next.

“Bravery is mostly tripping in the correct direction.”

The Living Mask

Variant Human · Alvelion · Age 24

Power awakened

The Genie’s Mark

A pact with a genie and a gift for finding what was lost. Ember, his silent raven, never leaves his shoulder while he takes a lie apart down to its last thread.

“Every lie leaves a shape. I only trace the edges.”
Genie-bound pactMaster of disguiseEmber the raven
IXChapter II · The crown of the world

Millions of tons of water pour between those mountains and fall from the edge of the world in an eternal cataract, disappearing into the frozen darkness of the Void.
