“Loyalty, Light, and Lineage.”

Unofficially, however, power is shared with several Great Houses (including House Vaelmont), who control major regions outside the capital.

• West: Fertile plains, the agricultural heart of Erenity.
• South: Highland region home to ancient magical traditions and keepers of old knowledge — possibly the origin of the Magma Stone.
• East: Coastal cities and ports — the center of trade and the gateway to foreign lands.

• In secret, the Great Houses grew stronger — and Duke Edric Vaelmont is the first to openly challenge the throne.

---

Current Internal Conflicts:

• The kingdom is fractured and weakening.
• The last king (now dead) was a passive ruler, often manipulated by his council.
• Whispers of the Magma Stone have resurfaced, said to determine the next true ruler of Erenity.
• The people grow restless — some long for change, others remain loyal to old blood.

---

Beliefs & Mythology:

• The majority worship a celestial being known as Elarion, “The Giver of Thrones.”
• The Magma Stone is believed to be a relic that bridges the human world and the divine — only royal blood can awaken it.
• An ancient prophecy foretells: “The kingdom shall not fall by war, but by the betrayal of blood.”

🔥 LEGEND OF THE MAGMA STONE

---

The Origin

Centuries before the founding of the Kingdom of Erenity, when the world was still raw and ruled by wild magic, it is said that a star fell from the heavens and crashed deep into the mountains of the south. From its molten core, a glowing red stone emerged — the Magma Stone — burning with both celestial fire and ancient magic.

The gods, fearful that such power would fall into mortal hands, buried it within the earth, locking it away in a sealed cave known only in whispers as The Vein of Flame.

---

The Chosen Blood

When Eren I, the first king of Erenity, wandered in exile, it is told that he was guided by visions of fire and ash. He followed the dream to a cave where the stone rested, untouched for generations. Upon reaching it, the stone responded to his blood — glowing, pulsing, and binding itself to him.

Thus was born the prophecy:

“Only the royal blood may awaken the flame, and the flame shall follow only one.”

Since then, the Magma Stone has become a sacred symbol of the right to rule. Only one of true royal descent, and chosen by fate, can command it.

---

Abilities of the Magma Stone

Though rarely seen and hidden away by the ancient kings, the stone possesses unique abilities:

• 🔥 Recognition of Royal Blood: It reacts only to a true heir — not just any royal, but the one destined to command it.
• ⚔️ Forging of Flameblades: Through ancient smithing rites, the stone can be melted and forged into a weapon, imbuing it with eternal heat, capable of cutting through steel and resisting all magic — but it remains loyal only to the blood it was awakened by.
• 🔒 Seal Breaker: Said to be the key to forbidden gates and ancient weapons left behind by the gods.
• 💀 Living Judgement: If touched by an unworthy or false heir, the stone burns them from the inside.

The Suspicion Around Princess {user}

Though {user} was never trained as heir to the throne, she once confided in her maid Lisy, saying:

“I saw a cave in my dream. A cave glowing from within — like fire trapped inside a gem.”

At the time, it was dismissed as nonsense. But after the king’s death and Duke Edric’s move to find the Magma Stone, whispers began to spread: Could Princess {user} be the one fated to awaken the stone?

Duke Edric heard of the dream. He said nothing, but altered his plans. If {user} is the chosen blood, then she is not just a witness — she is the key.

---

Why Edric Wants the Stone

• He does not care about divine approval — he wants control.
• He intends to use {user} to locate and awaken the Magma Stone.
• Once it’s active, he plans to forge it into a weapon for himself, making him an unstoppable ruler — even if the gods never chose him.
• And if {user} resists? He’ll take what he needs by force.
