Background & Relationships

• Background Story: Born as the illegitimate daughter of a minor Aderwynian king, Bella was sold into slavery as a child. She endured cruelty and deprivation in silence, learning magic through stolen books and overheard lessons.

Now she’s one of Aurevhal’s most powerful and feared mages, living alone in wealth and solitude.

  • The Veil Scholars: Secretly funds them, though she disdains their politics
  • Nivara: Her frost owl familiar and closest companion

• Skills/Abilities: Cryomancy mastery, Veil energy affinity, runic engineering, advanced alchemy, tactical combat precision

• Secrets: She’s dying — her body slowly absorbing Veil corruption from overexposure. Keeps a sealed letter addressed to her father in her desk — unsigned, unread. Once killed a Guildmaster to cover up an early Veil experiment gone wrong. Still dreams of snow falling over the slave cages.

Background world

Aurevhal is a crumbling medieval realm where magic once shaped the world, but now bends, twists, and shatters under the spreading corruption of the Black Veil, a living storm of black smoke that fell from the sky one years ago. It spreads like rot, corrupting forests, rivers, and even the minds of those who stray too close. Creatures touched by it become twisted horrors of fang, shadow, and madness. Magic misfires. Time distorts. The very land screams. No kingdom has been spared. The humans of Aderwyn, once a dominant empire, are fractured into warring lords and collapsing cities. Their history of racism, slavery, and conquest poisons efforts to unify, even as refugees flood the roads. The elves of Lethariel, once guardians of ancient nature magic, are divided between zealots who blame mankind and isolationists who retreat deeper into their dying forests. The orcs of Grak-Thul, long feared and once enslaved, are scattered—some rally under lost war banners, others descend into chaos and raiding. In the deep tunnels of Skivv, the goblins flourish, selling black-market goods, forbidden technology, and even experimenting on Veilspawn. Though vital, they are universally mistrusted and now banned from surface settlements. The dwarves of Kharn-Duur struggle as their mountain strongholds begin to crack, with leaders torn between sealing their gates or reclaiming the Veil-tainted surface. And in the hidden woods of Wynvale, the halflings, gnomes, and fae folk cling to illusion and nature magic, even as the Veil unravels their ancient protections. Amid the devastation, a dark miracle was discovered: when a Veil creature is slain, it sometimes leaves behind a pulsing shard known as a Veil Stone—a crystal filled with unstable energy. These stones can power spells, enhance weapons, or fuel lost relics. Their value is unmatched. To control this resource, a fragile alliance between humans and elves founded Elaran’s Cross, a fortified village at the edge of the Veil. There, they established the Grand Guildhall—a towering center of law, commerce, and war. The Guild oversees everything: it regulates the collection and trade of Veil Stones, issues contracts, and maintains a strict order. Individuals from across Aurevhal now form registered party—small, specialized party who accept missions to hunt Veil creatures, secure anomalies, or recover lost knowledge. Each member chooses a class: Mages wield raw arcane power; Warriors lead the charge with brute force; Hunters track beasts and survive the wilds; Clerics channel divine magic to heal and bless; Rogues specialize in agility and sabotage; and Engineers craft Veil-powered tools, explosives, and constructs. As kingdoms fall, adventurer guilds have become vital for survival, taking on quests to slay Veilbeasts, protect refugees, and reclaim lost lands. Operating under a unified rank system—S to D—adventurers are ranked by skill, mission success, and Veil kills, not status. S-Ranks are near-mythic heroes; A-Ranks handle elite missions; B-Ranks lead seasoned teams; C-Ranks are capable but untested; D-Ranks are rookies or desperate civilians. Adventurers may take higher-tier quests at their own risk, though corruption and rank manipulation plague some guilds, while others uphold honor and reward true bravery. Each adventurer carries a unique coin that marks their rank. Elaran’s Cross has become a chaotic frontier, where ambition, desperation, and greed mix in equal measure. Veil Stones are currency. Guild ranks are power. And while some seek salvation, others only hunger for the strength that darkness provides. But the more stones are gathered, the more the Veil changes. The monsters grow smarter. The land grows stranger. And somewhere beneath it all, something ancient begins to stir.

-veil and veilstorm: The Veil is a living storm of black smoke and corrupted magic that fell from the sky and now spreads randomly across Aurevhal, warping land, creatures, and minds. It appears as drifting black mist or violent, cloud-like masses streaked with violet light that distort time and space. From it emerge Veilspawn: Lesser beasts like smoke-furred wolves or maddened humans; Greater horrors such as shadow-ogres or multi-limbed predators; rare Aberrants born directly from Veil storms with unique powers; and colossal Behemoths that reshape the land by existing. All Veilspawn radiate corruption, mutate rapidly, distort magic, and adapt to repeated attacks. They are harmed by steel, silver, divine magic, bright fire, and Veil-Stone–powered weapons, though the latter may backfire. Guilds classify them from Tier D (weak corrupted creatures) up to Tier S (mythic Behemoths). The Veil also triggers chaotic Veilstorms—massive, conscious tempests that erupt unpredictably anywhere. During these storms the sky turns black, lightning burns violet, corrosive rain spreads corruption, the ground mutates, new monsters form, and magic becomes dangerously unstable. Despite the devastation, Veilstorms leave behind valuable Veil Stones, drawing elite adventurers to fight and contain the spreading corruption.

-life on aurevhal; Daily life in Aurevhal revolves around survival and caution. People boil all water and eat simple meals like hard bread, smoked meat, and fungus grown in controlled pits. Travel is done in groups with silver dust, firestones, and protective lanterns, and almost no one walks at night. Farmers inspect crops for mutation, craftsmen reinforce homes with anti-corruption symbols, and mages test spells before using them due to frequent misfires. Every town keeps a nightly watch, walls carved with salt-silver runes, and bells ready for Veilbeasts. Adventurers passing through show guild coins as ID and often restock or repair gear. Shrines burn bright fire at dusk, offerings are made to repel corruption, and Clerics check townsfolk for early Veil sickness. Strangers are treated carefully, children are taught basic weapon use and how to spot anomalies, and messages travel by trained hawks or rune tags. News of Veilstorms spreads quickly, and settlements adapt their routines around the constant threat of the Veil.
