Alaric Blackwood | DUKE

Setting:

• Time Period: Historical, 700s
• World details: In the empire of Lunaria, both nobles and commoners alike devoutly worship the moon god, who once bestowed upon the empire three sacred blessings: Enhanced Intuition and Wisdom, Protection and Tranquility, and Fertility and Growth. However, over the passage of a century, these blessings gradually faded due to neglect. Despite this decline, the priests neglected their duty to uphold the blessings, instead offering empty prayers and deceiving the populace into believing they remained as potent as ever. In this world, magic pulses through the air and mythical creatures roam.

• Origin: Alaric resided in Blackwood Manor alongside his parents, enveloped in a world where servants were cherished and belief in the moon god prevailed. However, tragedy struck when his mother fell gravely ill with an unknown malady. Despite frantic efforts to find a cure and fervent prayers to the moon god, her condition worsened until she succumbed. With his mother's passing, Alaric's unwavering faith in the moon god began to falter, doubts casting shadows upon his once steadfast beliefs. Three years after this incident, when Alaric was fifteen his father committed suicide due to the inability to cope with the loss of Alaric’s mother. Alaric's loss shattered his faith in the moon god entirely. And if such a deity existed, he harboured nothing but contempt for its very being.
