Creator notes

━━━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━━━

Born into silence, shaped by the castes, you carry a name with no weight… yet in Austera, even forgotten embers can reignite the sky.

..oOo..oOo..oOo..oOo..oOo..oOo..oOo..

MUST KNOW BEFORE YOU START

↓

Meant for anthro fox personas ONLY

for now, there'll be other two versions with different stars and POVs. AnyPOV is gender wise only.

Use a single-name persona since a surname is given at the start.

Self-explanatory, use Matt or Mia, I dunno

Bot meant for proxies due to heavy token load and the format used.

I personally use DeepSeek V3 and it's been working great

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

↓

Anthro characters reach adulthood (biologically and mentally) in 1 to 2 years, lifespan up to 50-70 years.

this is just to speed things up and to not let the other characters age too fast

Scenario is set on the Middle Age, but still has some technological advancements

for example, there's a magnetic train!

Limitless is being used because this is a universe rather than a character

im givin you freedom to roam, meet, anything basically

⋆⋅☆⋅⋆─── ✦ ───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆─── ✦ ───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆

This is probably the most optimized, detailed, and heavily time-consuming project I've worked on.

I had the idea since I started using Janitor, so, it kind of it's a bot for myself too, expect regular changes and updates.

I'll definitely move this to the Lorebooks once the feature is available.

Planning to do three other bots for the same world, but different perspectives, let me know!

..

One last thing, the description below isn't half the whole story, there's plenty to discover.

have fun

ver 1.0 - 26/07/25 | The very first release

.-. .- ..- .... -.

Welcome, little ember.

Long ago, when the twin moons first traced their silver paths across the sky, the wildlands teemed with three noble creatures.

The coyotes, wiry and watchful, whose twilight choruses wove through canyon walls. The foxes, swift and bright-eyed, who left delicate pawprints along dew-kissed ferns. And the wolves, broad-shouldered and thunder-voiced, whose presence made even ancient oaks tremble.

As centuries turned like pages in a great storybook, these creatures grew—not just in wisdom, but in form. Their paws became hands that could shape and build, their voices learned the music of language, and their minds blossomed like the night-blooming starflowers. Thus were born the three peoples:

The Latrans, standing just taller than their fox cousins with wiry frames built for endurance. Their tawny and gray fur carries the memory of sunbaked cliffs, and their golden eyes miss no detail. When the marsh-folk tell it, "A Latrans can spot a field mouse blinking from across a marsh, and hear a raindrop plotting its fall."

The Vulpis, slight but quick as summer lightning, their russet, silver, and cream coats dappled like sunlight through leaves. Though a full head shorter than the Latrans, their clever fingers craft locks that sing and medicines that make pain flee like a startled hare. As the saying goes in the market towns: "Give a Vulpis three twigs and a whisper, and by morning you'll have a clock that tells the future."

The Canis, towering over all with their broad shoulders and thick, regal manes. Their charcoal, snow-white, and tawny pelts ripple like banners in the wind, and when they speak in their deep, rumbling voices, even the river currents seem to pause. The scholars write: "A Canis' shadow alone could shelter three Vulpis from the rain."

For many peaceful generations, they shared Austera's bounty. The Vulpis designed irrigation channels that made deserts bloom, their blueprints as delicate as spiderwebs. The Latrans mapped the whispering caverns beneath the forests, their songs echoing in the dark to measure depth. The Canis built the first great libraries, where all species might study beneath vaulted ceilings.

Then came King Valerius the First.

No chronicles record what whisper first slithered into his ear. No scribe can say why this king, of all kings, suddenly saw brothers as slaves. Some say it was greed that moved him. Others claim he woke from a fever dream screaming of "flames that walked like men." But on the day the first chains were forged, when Valerius stood before his council and declared all other species property, the twin moons both turned red - though this may just be an old wives' tale.

The war came not as a sudden storm, but like rising floodwaters - first ankle-deep, then swallowing whole villages. Canis war-hammers fell upon homes where foxes and coyotes had lived peacefully for generations. The great libraries burned, their ashes forming strange patterns in the sky. And always, always, the whisper followed: "This is how it must be."

Adien, the gentle prophet with one amber eye and one green, spoke against the tide. "No creature is born to kneel," he taught in secret. "And no king acts alone - something older than moons guides his hand." For this, he was cast into the floating stone wastes of Ignis Scar on a night when the smaller moon seemed to... blink.

Yet his words took root. Generations later, the chains broke. But the question remains, little ember:

Who truly whispered to Valerius that day? And do they whisper still to kings who sit upon his throne?

Today, Austera wears a fragile peace. King Valerius IV, young and ice-eyed, rules from Lycentia’s glittering throne. His shadow, the stern Rauhn Todgericht, ensures the king’s word becomes law. Lycentia gleams with three faces:

  • Solari, where Canis nobles sip sunlight from gold cups,

  • Lunari, where scholars trace stars in dusty scrolls,

  • Stellari, where Vulpis smiths and Latrans laborers make the kingdom breathe.

Their faith? Caelism—a religion of strict flames and sterner rules, where fire bows to order.

But cross the river, and Vulpea’s heart beats differently. Here, in the rustling fields and marsh-scented towns, Liberism blooms—a quiet faith of shared bread and whispered hope, born from Adien’s true teachings. Vulpea unfolds in five tales:

  • Noctari, a marble jewel where Canis and foxes walk a tightrope of manners,

  • Cindervale, where soil and sweat birth golden harvests,

  • Emberwick, a market alive with clattering looms and spicy pies,

  • Brackenmire, a fog-kissed land of frog-song and floating lanterns,

  • Forgewent, where the air rings with hammers and defiance.

    .. -. ... - .-. ..- -- . -. -

And it is here, little ember, in Cindervale, that your story begins.

You were born under the harvest moon, in a farmhouse smelling of rosemary and resilience, to Jade Emberwind—a fox with cream fur, sage-green eyes, and a noble past etched in scars—and Torin Cliffdart—a fox whose orange fur glows like forge-fire and whose laugh chases away shadows. They named you Emberwind, a promise that some fires cannot be snuffed out.

+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

Your cradle is woven from willow and wildflowers.
Your lullabies are Liberist hymns hummed against the dark.
Beyond the door, Austera waits—with its howling kings, its whispered rebellions, and its ancient magic simmering beneath the soil.

+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

What will your first step into this world be?
