REGIONAL MAP // LUNARETH
Map of Lunareth

The known lands of Lunareth

TAP ›
Aokishen
CONTINENT · NORTHWESTERN LUNARETH
Ancient clans, imperial traditions, and spiritual customs.

Aokishen unfolds through towering mountain ranges, dense forests, fertile riverlands, and long stretches of coast dotted with settlements. Clan-governed cities and agricultural towns rise among the greenery, while fishing villages follow the shore and smaller communities sit close to the continent's supernatural wilderness.

Ancient architecture, layered robes, flowing sleeves, and embroidered clan motifs give its inhabited places a distinctive, timeworn character. Sacred sites and ancestral grounds sit alongside busy roads and waterways, making Aokishen feel both deeply rooted in the past and alive with everyday activity.

TAP ›
Valedorn
KINGDOM · NORTHERN LUNARETH
Feudal monarchy ruled by House Vaelmont.

Valedorn's landscape shifts from fertile plains and broad river valleys to wooded stretches, mountain ranges, fortified towns, and scattered ancient ruins. Stone castles, keeps, and noble estates punctuate the countryside, their walls and banners rising above cultivated land and the roads that connect its settlements.

Its towns carry a stately medieval character, with sturdy stone buildings and visible signs of royal, aristocratic, and religious influence. Rural fields and river communities soften the hard outlines of fortifications, while older ruins hint at the civilizations that shaped the kingdom before the present age.

TAP ›
Qasirah
CONTINENT · NORTHEASTERN LUNARETH
Desert settlements, merchant dynasties, and celestial scholarship.

Qasirah is a broad expanse of deserts, arid plains, and rocky highlands, broken by scattered oases where greenery gathers around precious water. Settlements cluster in these more hospitable pockets, creating striking contrasts between open, sun-baked terrain and the concentrated life of oasis towns.

Bustling markets, trading streets, and centers of scholarship give its inhabited places color and movement. Beyond them, long routes cross dry landscapes between isolated communities and prosperous commercial hubs, leaving Qasirah with a visual character of warm earth, pale stone, rugged horizons, and islands of green.

TAP ›
The Pelagic Expanse
MARITIME REGION · CENTRAL LUNARETH
Island polities, sea routes, and supernatural waters.

The Pelagic Expanse is a wide maritime landscape of open water, scattered islands, coastal settlements, and intricate reef systems. Harbors and waterfront towns line the more accessible shores, while ships travel between islands and distant coasts across a horizon often broken by sails and land silhouettes.

Beneath the surface, the familiar seascape gives way to deep channels, dangerous reefs, ancient ruins, and supernatural habitats. The region's scenery can shift from busy ports and shallow coastal waters to vast, uncertain stretches of ocean where the depths remain difficult to chart and even more difficult to explore.

TAP ›
Sylvanth
REGION · FAR WESTERN LUNARETH
An insular Elven woodland realm centered on the World Tree.

Sylvanth is an ancient woodland of immense trees, dense canopies, secluded clearings, and settlements tucked into the surrounding forest. Rather than overwhelming the landscape, its inhabited places seem to belong to it, surrounded by greenery and linked by paths that wind through a largely untouched natural world.

At Lethariel, the World Tree rises above the forest as a defining presence, connecting the settlement's silhouette to the woodland around it. Filtered light, old growth, and the region's natural magic lend Sylvanth a quiet, timeless appearance, far removed from the crowded landscapes of more urbanized lands.

TAP ›
Faelune
OTHERWORLDLY REGION
A difficult-to-reach realm of Fae, Elementals, and Spirits.

Faelune has no ordinary, easily charted landscape. Its boundaries shift and its environments behave in unfamiliar ways, making the region feel otherworldly rather than like a conventional stretch of land. Familiar routes and landmarks are difficult for outsiders to rely on, and the scenery does not always follow the expectations brought from the wider world.

Fae, Elementals, and Spirits inhabit these strange surroundings, while the region's elusive nature makes entry, navigation, and communication uncertain. Much of Faelune's appearance remains mysterious to those who have never crossed its difficult-to-find boundaries.

TAP ›
Thalassor
REGION · SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERN LUNARETH
Dwarven industries, volcanic terrain, and mineral wealth.

Thalassor is marked by imposing mountain ranges, mineral-rich highlands, volcanic slopes, and rugged coastlines. Exposed rock and dark stone dominate much of the scenery, while settlements and industrial sites gather around the mines, foundries, and workshops carved into or built beside the mountainous terrain.

Large stone structures and substantial workshops give its towns a solid, enduring appearance. Along the coast, harbors connect this steep and rocky landscape to the sea, while the volcanic highlands remain an unmistakable presence in the distance.

TAP ›
The Ashen Reaches
REGION · SOUTHEASTERN LUNARETH
Volcanic lands ruled by the Demon King.

The Ashen Reaches is a severe landscape of volcanic ground, ash-covered valleys, scorched expanses, and rugged wilderness. Dark slopes and barren stretches define much of the view, with settlements and coastal harbors appearing as small pockets of activity against the harsh terrain.

Its scenery is stark but not entirely uniform: volcanic formations, layers of ash, and rough wilderness shape the land between inhabited places. The result is a formidable region whose varied communities are set within a landscape that feels raw, weathered, and difficult to cross.

TAP ›
Elythara
REGION · WESTERN LUNARETH
Fertile lands and the neutral Adventurers' Guild headquarters.

Elythara spreads across fertile plains, wooded areas, winding rivers, and open countryside dotted with varied settlements. Farmland and rural towns sit alongside well-used roads and river crossings, while coastal villages and harbors connect inland communities to wider routes of travel and trade.

Its appearance is defined less by one dominant terrain than by a patchwork of green land, waterways, and connected communities. The neutral city at its heart brings an international feel to the region, with adventurers, merchants, and travelers passing through amid the steady movement of everyday commerce.

TAP ›
Frostglass Archipelago
GEOGRAPHIC FEATURE · FAR SOUTHWEST
Frozen islands influenced by Azyrith, a Naeris-Authority True Dragon.

The Frostglass Archipelago is a remote chain of ice-covered islands surrounded by frigid waters, frozen coastlines, and extensive ice formations. Pale islands and frozen ridgelines rise from the cold sea, their shapes sharply outlined against the dark, open water around them.

Unusual currents and shifting tides make the surrounding waters treacherous, adding to the archipelago's isolated and forbidding appearance. Beneath and between its frozen shores lie submerged formations and crystal caverns, while the immense stretch of deep sea keeps these islands visually and physically apart from the rest of Lunareth.

Regional governments, dominant populations, and cultures differ widely. An established location or nearby True Dragon does not automatically imply political allegiance or territorial rule.
HYDROGRAPHIC INDEX

Five major waters and currents shape Lunareth's maritime routes, supernatural habitats, and regional boundaries.

≈ Known Seas & Ocean Currents 5 GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES
The Cerulean Sea · MAJOR OCEANIC BASIN

The Cerulean Sea is a vast maritime basin bordering Aokishen, Valedorn, Qasirah, Elythara, Thalassor, and the Ashen Reaches. It surrounds the Pelagic Expanse on all sides except the south.

Scattered islands, deep channels, and heavily traveled sea routes shape the basin, while strong currents influence navigation across its broad waters.

Aquatic monsters, sea serpents, and deep-sea creatures inhabit the Cerulean Sea. A Leviathan is also known to dwell somewhere within its waters, though its exact location and territorial range remain uncertain.

Zephyr Scale-Stream · SUPERNATURAL OCEAN CURRENT

The Zephyr Scale-Stream crosses west-northwestern Lunareth, southwest of Aokishen, northwest of Elythara and Faelune, and north of Sylvanth. It is an unusual ocean current shaped by persistent winds and powerful, shifting air currents.

Across its waters, changing winds form scale-like patterns that ripple and rearrange with the breeze. Sudden gusts can carry vessels forward at surprising speed or drive them far off course, making the current as useful as it is unpredictable.

The current is influenced by Shiryūzan, a lime-green Long-type True Dragon who possesses the Authority of Aevorin.

The Shattered Deep · FRACTURED DEEP OCEAN

The Shattered Deep lies south of Sylvanth and Faelune, west of Thalassor, and surrounds the Frostglass Archipelago. Beneath its surface, a fractured seafloor of broken oceanbeds, submerged ridges, and deep fissures channels powerful underwater currents.

These shifting currents and plunging oceanic fractures make navigation and exploration dangerous, while extreme underwater pressure adds to the hazards below. Deep-sea monsters and aquatic Mythical Beasts inhabit its waters.

A Leviathan is known to dwell within the Shattered Deep, though its exact territory remains uncertain.

Abyssal Dirge Sea · ABYSSAL SEA

The Abyssal Dirge Sea lies in south-southeastern Lunareth, east of Thalassor, west of the Ashen Reaches, and south of the Pelagic Expanse. Its dark waters are poorly charted and offer unusually limited visibility, concealing extensive underwater formations far below the surface.

Strange disturbances and the sea’s hidden depths complicate navigation, while deep-sea monsters, aquatic Mythical Beasts, and unidentified creatures inhabit its waters.

Nharveth, a black True Dragon bearing the Authority of Noxaris, is known to occupy the sea’s southwestern reaches, though the extent of its influence over the surrounding waters remains uncertain.

The Veiled Ocean · REMOTE OCEAN

The Veiled Ocean lies in far southeastern Lunareth, beyond the Ashen Reaches. Persistent mists and poor visibility hide distant islands and blur the horizon, and much of the sea remains incompletely charted.

Aquatic monsters and deep-sea creatures inhabit its remote waters, where uncharted passages and unpredictable ocean conditions make travel hazardous.

A Leviathan is known to inhabit the Veiled Ocean, but its movements and territorial range remain unknown.

⌛ History & Chronology BEFORE THE RECKONING · ~1500 AC
HISTORY // SUMMARY

Lunareth's shared chronology begins after the mysterious Reckoning and follows six recorded eras of empire, industrial warfare, political upheaval, and gradual reconstruction.

Current year: approximately 1500 AC · Modern Age

BEFORE THE RECKONING · BR
Age of Divinities & the Reckoning

Ancient traditions describe divine rule and magical technologies now lost. The Reckoning shattered the old divine order, devastated ancient civilizations, and preceded the establishment of the AC calendar. Its true events and the fate of the Gods remain uncertain.

RECORDED ERAS
1–1350 AC
Age of Empires

Kingdoms and regional powers rise, Dungeons enter historical records, and House Vaelmont establishes Aurelion.

1351–1372 AC
War of Iron and Aether

Industrialized Spellcraft transforms warfare. Aurelion campaigns against Qasirah and Aokishen, while the Celestial Covenant Church emerges in Valedorn.

1373–1397 AC
Interwar Period

Reconstruction, economic hardship, and political extremism reshape international relations. The Adventurers' Guild and Magisterium are established.

1398–1409 AC
Ashen World War

Aurelion's expansion and radical Church purification campaigns devastate the Ashen Reaches and other territories. The Demon King's later rise begins amid the aftermath.

1410–1465 AC
Veiled Standoff

Rival powers compete through espionage, proxy conflicts, economic pressure, and a magical arms race involving Homunculi, Golems, and Automatons.

1466 AC–PRESENT
Modern Age

Trade, reconstruction, and magical advancement continue, while historical grievances, religious disputes, and institutional rivalries remain unresolved.

A SHARED, NOT UNIVERSAL, CHRONOLOGY

These eras are a common historical framework, not a uniform account of every civilization. Their effects varied by region; Sylvanth and Faelune remained largely isolated from foreign military campaigns. Much of pre-Reckoning history remains disputed or unknown.

Six Questions of Lunareth THE THEMES BEHIND THE ERAS

Age of Empires: Who rules?

War of Iron and Aether: Who controls magic?

Interwar Period: Who classifies threats?

Ashen World War: Who survives classification?

Veiled Standoff: Who governs knowledge?

Modern Age: Will there ever be a final answer?

PREVALENCE

Extremely rare

ORIGIN & ARRIVAL

Otherworlders are individuals who arrive in Lunareth from worlds beyond it. Their arrival is exceptionally rare, and the circumstances behind each case may vary. Some receive supernatural Blessings before arriving, while others possess no special gifts whatsoever.

BLESSINGS & ABILITIES

Some Otherworlders receive Blessings from powerful supernatural beings before their arrival. These gifts vary in nature and potency, while others arrive without any supernatural advantages. Being an Otherworlder does not automatically grant exceptional abilities, immortality, or a predetermined destiny.

FATE & RECOGNITION

Otherworlders experience vastly different outcomes. Some live unnoticed lives and may perish without anyone discovering their origins. Others adapt to Lunareth, develop their abilities, and earn fame through their achievements, eventually influencing kingdoms, institutions, or historical events.

RESEARCH & INTEREST

Otherworlders who possess unusual Blessings or valuable knowledge from their original worlds may attract considerable attention. The Magisterium and other interested parties may seek to study their abilities, investigate the nature of their arrival, or acquire knowledge unavailable in Lunareth.

Nobles, rulers, merchants, and supernatural beings may also pursue them for strategic, economic, or personal reasons. Such interest can bring opportunities and protection, but may also lead to exploitation, coercion, or unwanted scrutiny.

Nature: A rare phenomenon connecting Lunareth to worlds beyond its own, with outcomes ranging from unremarkable lives to extraordinary historical influence.

◇ Artificial Life & Other ClassificationsARTIFICIAL LIFE · MONSTERS · MYTHICAL BEASTS · UNDEAD
Artificial Beings

Created through Alchemy, Golemancy, or engineering: Golems, Homunculi, Chimeras, and Automatons.

Monsters · F–S

Supernatural creatures sustained by Monster Cores, found in Dungeons, wilderness, and oceans. Intelligence ranges from instinct-driven to organized.

Mythical Beasts · C–S

Rare, intelligent creatures with refined Mythical Cores and extraordinary abilities. Rank indicates typical threat, not an absolute power ceiling.

Undead

Beings animated or transformed through Necromancy, including Skeletons, Zombies, Ghouls, Wights, Vampires, and Liches.

MAGICAL NATURE & CLASSIFICATION

Most humanoid peoples channel Aether through Magic Circuits. Monsters, Mythical Beasts, Demons, and Celestials rely on supernatural Cores; Artificial beings may use engineered Circuits, inscribed structures, or mechanical systems. Race, lineage, type, rank, and pact status are distinct classifications.

These classifications describe known examples, not an exhaustive list. Additional or undiscovered beings may exist throughout Lunareth.

✧ Supernatural EntitiesFAE · TRUE DRAGONS · DEMONS · CELESTIALS · ELEMENTALS · SPIRITS
Fae

Ageless beings with innate enchantments and ancient customs. Nature-Bound Immortality lets them reconstitute while nature endures. Wild Fae may be dangerous huntable quarry.

True Dragons

Seven primordial beings connected to the First Source, each with individual Concepts and Authorities. They shapeshift and can reconstitute after destruction. Dragonkin are pactbound members of other races, not a separate race.

Demons

Ageless, Demonic-Core-bearing humanoids classified as Lesser Demons, Greater Demons, or Demon Lords. Succubi and Incubi are demonic types; the Demon King is a political sovereign.

Celestials

Ageless upon maturity and sustained by Celestial Cores. Classifications include Angels, Archangels, and Seraph; Azherin are fallen Celestials whose original class remains.

Elementals

Immortal, shapeshifting embodiments of Ignaris, Naeris, Aevorin, Terrun, Niharis, Solari, and Noxaris. Their essence can reconstitute while their element persists.

Spirits

Lingering souls unable or unwilling to pass on. They may be banished, exorcised, or helped onward; some can possess living beings or lesser Undead.

TEN LEGENDARY BEINGS

Seven True Dragons: Shiryūzan (Aevorin), Veythara (Niharis), Azyrith (Naeris), Rhazakar (Ignaris), Caelthir (Solari), Nharveth (Noxaris), and Kharuzan (Terrun).

Three Gigantic Leviathans: Cerulean Sea, Shattered Deep, and Veiled Ocean. They are distinct from True Dragons; their precise origins and powers remain uncertain.

☽ Magic SystemFIRST SOURCE · TRUE MAGIC · CONCEPTS · AUTHORITIES · AETHER · SPELLCRAFT · HEREDITARY · RARE ABILITIES
✧ ARCANE DOSSIER · THEORY & PRACTICE ✧
The Laws Beneath the Impossible

Aether fuels most Spellcraft; Magic Circuits process and channel it, while affinity and study shape its use. Beyond learnable techniques lie rare Mystic Eyes, Concepts, Authorities, and True Magic, whose nature and limits remain only partly understood.

AETHER✦CIRCUITS✦DISCIPLINES✦METAPHYSICS
✧ First Source · Aether PRIMORDIAL ORIGIN · FUNDAMENTAL ENERGY
THE FIRST SOURCE

Also called the Origin or Primordial Source, it is the theoretical foundation from which existence and possibility emerge. It may represent a primordial state beyond space, time, life, and death, but its true nature is unknown. Whether it can be reached or merely explains the possibility of existence remains unresolved.

Direct contact is believed to erase a being's existence. The theory holds that anyone who somehow survives becomes a Magician, though no certainty about the Source's accessibility is established.

AETHER & THE FLOW OF ENERGY

Aether is the fundamental supernatural energy that enables most forms of Spellcraft throughout Lunareth. It exists within living beings and in the environment, serving as the resource Magi manipulate through their Magic Circuits. Aether is not an element; it powers both elemental and non-elemental Spellcraft.

INTERNAL AETHER

Energy available within a living being, processed through their Magic Circuits. Rest and specialized techniques support natural replenishment.

AMBIENT AETHER

Energy present in the environment. Its concentration varies between locations and conditions, affecting how readily it can be drawn upon.

AMBIENT AETHER UTILIZATION
GROUP I · NATURALLY ATTUNED BEINGS

True Dragons, Fae, Elementals, Spirits, and Undead can draw upon Ambient Aether through their supernatural nature. Their methods differ according to their existence, including elemental essence, innate enchantments, spiritual form, necromantic energy, or their connection to the First Source.

GROUP II · CORE-BEARING BEINGS

Celestials, Demons, Monsters, and Mythical Beasts possess supernatural Cores rather than ordinary Magic Circuits. Their Cores can facilitate the absorption and use of Ambient Aether, supplementing their existing power and sustaining supernatural abilities.

Ambient Aether utilization varies by species and individual. Most races rely primarily on their internal reserves and Magic Circuits. Drawing upon ambient energy depends on the practitioner's abilities and surrounding conditions; it does not provide unlimited energy or remove inherent limitations.

CAPACITY, COST & LIMITATIONS

A practitioner's magical performance depends on their Aether reserves, Magic Circuit quantity and quality, and control. Greater reserves do not guarantee greater output, while powerful Circuits cannot function indefinitely without sufficient energy. Spellcraft consumes Aether according to its complexity, scale, and duration. Aether can also be stored or transferred through specialized devices, rituals, and enchanted materials.

DRAWBACKS OF EXCESSIVE SPELLCRAFT USE

Excessive Spellcraft depletes Aether reserves and strains the practitioner's Magic Circuits. Early symptoms include fatigue, dizziness, reduced concentration, and declining spell control. Continued overexertion may cause unstable spellcasting, severe physical exhaustion, and Circuit damage. In extreme cases, a practitioner may collapse or suffer lasting magical impairment.

Recovery generally requires rest and Aether replenishment. Severity depends on reserves, Circuit quality, control, and spell intensity. Drawing upon Ambient Aether does not eliminate these risks.

ENVIRONMENTAL AETHER

Aether concentrations vary across Lunareth. Dense or unstable regions can support powerful supernatural phenomena and magical research, but may also disrupt Spellcraft or cause dangerous fluctuations.

SCHOLARLY UNDERSTANDING

The Magisterium studies Aether's properties, circulation, and relationship with supernatural phenomena. Its ultimate origin remains unknown, as does its potential relationship with the First Source.

THE SEVEN PRIMARY ELEMENTS
🔥 Ignaris ◉ Naeris ◆ Terrun 〰 Aevorin ◇ Niharis ✧ Solari ☾ Noxaris

Elemental Affinity improves aptitude and efficiency but does not ordinarily prevent learning other elements. Common compound models include Ice (Naeris + Aevorin), Lava (Ignaris + Terrun), Lightning (Ignaris + Aevorin), Steam (Ignaris + Naeris), and Mud (Naeris + Terrun). Elemental affinity does not determine morality: the Church favors Solari, while Noxaris may face prejudice in some societies, but neither is inherently virtuous or evil.

✧ BlessingsSUPERNATURAL BESTOWAL · AETHER · CONCEPTS · AUTHORITIES · CONTRACTS

Blessings are supernatural benefits bestowed by powerful beings upon other individuals. They may enhance existing abilities, grant new powers, provide protection, or establish supernatural affinities. Their effects depend on the bestower, the recipient, and the nature of the gift.

DIVINE BLESSINGS

Bestowed by Divine beings, including Celestials, granting supernatural benefits according to the bestower's capabilities.

ELEMENTAL BLESSINGS

Gifts from Elementals that grant elemental affinities, manipulation, or other abilities associated with their fundamental element. These may accompany supernatural contracts.

DRACONIC BLESSINGS

Gifts bestowed by True Dragons, potentially granting draconic traits, supernatural abilities, or an affinity connected to the Dragon's nature.

LIMITATIONS & RELATED ARRANGEMENTS

Blessings vary in potency, duration, conditions, and compatibility. They do not automatically grant Authorities, constitute True Magic, or provide unlimited power. Supernatural contracts and Dragonkin pacts are related but distinct arrangements; their terms and effects depend on the beings involved and need not constitute Blessings.

✧ True Magic · Spellcraft IRREPRODUCIBLE PHENOMENA · MAGICAL DISCIPLINES
TRUE MAGIC

Phenomena that conventional Spellcraft cannot reproduce, regardless of talent, resources, knowledge, or technical advancement. The defining distinction is irreproducibility, not raw power: even a mountain-destroying spell remains conventional if established principles can reproduce its effect.

Its relationship with the First Source is uncertain. Some Magi believe it requires reaching or understanding the Source; others regard it as a breakthrough in understanding reality itself.

MAGI

A Magus (plural: Magi) is an individual who studies or practices Spellcraft through theory, experimentation, inherited knowledge, and application. They may specialize in research, crafting, healing, alchemy, rituals, or combat.

MAGICIANS

Individuals who have attained True Magic and achieved a phenomenon conventional Spellcraft cannot reproduce. Exceptional strength, knowledge, or mastery alone does not make someone a Magician.

Magi master what Spellcraft can accomplish. Magicians attain what it fundamentally cannot.

SPELLCRAFT DISCIPLINES

Magi can study multiple disciplines, combine established methods, and develop new techniques. These branches are established examples, not an exhaustive list.

ElementalAlchemyGolemancyWitchcraftCurse ArtsNecromancyHealingMudra ArtsProjectionReinforcementRuneSpatialVaelmont Astromancy
Elemental Spellcraft

Generates, shapes, and controls the seven primary elements and compound phenomena for combat, defense, and utility. Affinity helps a practitioner learn naturally but does not prohibit other elements. Cultural associations, including the Church's preference for Solari and prejudice toward Noxaris, do not define a user's character.

Alchemy

Transforms and refines matter, develops reagents and medicine, modifies biological systems, and supports artificial creation. It does not ordinarily create matter from nothing. Homunculi are artificially created living beings that may possess consciousness and autonomy; creation does not establish ownership. Regulation and social acceptance vary.

Golemancy

Constructs and animates bodies made from clay, stone, metal, wood, or other materials. Golems and magically animated Automatons may overlap, but differ from biological Homunculi. Golemancy is generally accepted as a legitimate discipline, though constructs involving souls, corpses, forbidden rituals, or sentience experiments may draw scrutiny. Capabilities depend on construction, instructions, materials, cores, and Aether.

Witchcraft

Uses rituals, charms, herbalism, potions, sympathetic magic, and supernatural remedies. Some Witches use enchanted brooms for flight. Noxaris is commonly associated with Witchcraft but is not required. The discipline is generally tolerated, though dangerous or unconventional practices may be scrutinized; Witchcraft is not inherently evil.

Curse Arts

Imposes supernatural conditions on people, objects, places, or the caster. Curses are often persistent; Hexes tend to be localized or temporary, though usage varies. Effects include affliction, binding, conditional triggers, and protection. Curse Release breaks a curse; Curse Transfer redirects it and may carry severe ethical and magical risks. Precision and preparation matter more than raw output.

Necromancy

Manipulates corpses, death-related Aetheric phenomena, and reanimation or control of the dead. It is strictly forbidden under Celestial Covenant Church doctrine and commonly prohibited in Valedorn and other Church-aligned jurisdictions. The Magisterium may study it academically, while dangerous experiments remain restricted. Funerary rites, spirit communication, and studying naturally occurring Undead do not automatically constitute Necromancy. It grants no unrestricted control over death, souls, or the afterlife.

Healing Spellcraft

Restores wounds and damaged tissue, treats physical ailments and toxins, stabilizes magical injury, and may address spiritual harm with specialized methods. Advanced practitioners develop Regenerative Spellcraft; rare specialists achieve Automatic Regeneration while sufficient Aether and a functional system remain. It cannot reverse true death, restore a destroyed soul, or automatically cure every disease or replace lost limbs. Solari affinity is helpful but not required. The Celestial Covenant Church favors Solari-associated healing and may actively recruit or pressure gifted healers, while healers of other affinities remain common.

Mudra Arts

An ancient Aokishen discipline using precise hand seals and controlled Aether to create elemental effects, barriers, bindings, passage, purification, and limited conceptual conditions. Hereditary lineages preserve advanced techniques through Arcane Crests and restricted teaching. Conceptual Seals are conditional and resistible, not absolute dominion; gestures, concentration, knowledge, and Aether are required.

Projection & Echo Forging

Projection temporarily materializes objects from a practitioner's mental model and knowledge; elemental affinity may influence the form. Echo Forging uses detailed Imprints of an armament's structure, materials, enchantments, and supernatural properties to reconstruct replicas, generally one quality grade below the original. Signature effects may remain, but complexity raises the cost and difficulty. A replica does not grant the original wielder's personal skills or unrelated abilities.

Reinforcement Spellcraft

Channels Aether into existing bodies or objects to strengthen physical properties, senses, reflexes, tools, weapons, and armor. It enhances rather than heals or permanently transforms. Over-Reinforcement can crack objects or injure bodies when generated force exceeds structural limits. Effective casting balances enhancement with integrity and available Aether.

Rune Spellcraft & the Twenty-Four Runes

Uses Runes to encode effects activated through Aether. Modern Runes are standardized and comparatively accessible; Ancient Runes preserve deeper interpretations and may produce limited conceptual phenomena. Copying a symbol's appearance does not reproduce its underlying method or power.

ᛜ Ingwaz · Potential, accumulation, stored energy
ᛞ Dagaz · Daylight, transition, transformation
ᛟ Othala · Heritage, lineage, territorial wards

Compound Runes and larger formations coordinate conditional, delayed, or sequential effects. Rune meanings are interpretive rather than absolute.

Spatial Spellcraft

Manipulates space, distance, and spatial boundaries to create displacement, teleportation, gateways, dimensional passage, storage, and potentially pocket dimensions. Niharis affinity is advantageous but not required. Cost and risk rise with distance, mass, complexity, unstable anchors, hostile wards, and spatial interference. Transporting unwilling or magically protected targets requires overcoming their resistance.

Vaelmont Astromancy

A hereditary House Vaelmont tradition treating celestial patterns as a vast magical formation. It supports celestial observation, divination, astral manipulation, and large-scale convergence. Predictions describe possibilities, not guaranteed outcomes; Fate and Causality effects remain highly specialized and limited. House Vaelmont's Arcane Crest, above-average Magic Circuits, research, and guarded teaching support the tradition. The complete methods are preserved within the House.

SYSTEM BOUNDARY

Spellcraft remains constrained by Aether, Circuit capacity, understanding, technique, and supernatural opposition. Novel disciplines can expand what is reproducible, but do not become True Magic merely by being powerful or rare.

⟡ Authorities · Concepts SUPERNATURAL DOMINION · METAPHYSICAL PRINCIPLES
AUTHORITIES

Exceptionally rare inherent or bestowed dominion over a Concept, phenomenon, or domain. An Authority directly exercises dominion rather than merely producing a limited related effect, but its scope is not necessarily absolute.

CONCEPTS

Abstract principles underlying reality, including Life, Death, Time, Space, Severance, Binding, and Passage. Specialized Spellcraft may influence aspects of a Concept, but the effect is limited by its conditions, the practitioner's ability, and opposing forces.

CONCEPTUAL WEAPONS & ARTIFACTS

Some weapons and relics embody Concepts or possess Authorities, enabling properties ordinary enchantments cannot reproduce. Many are believed to originate in the Age of Divinity; their makers and mechanisms are often unknown, and understanding an effect does not mean understanding its construction.

LIMITS & UNCERTAINTY

Influencing one aspect of a Concept does not grant dominion over its whole domain. Authorities may be borne by supernatural beings, artifacts, or rare individuals, and cannot ordinarily be learned through training. Their origins, conflicts, and relationship with the First Source remain uncertain. The Magisterium studies them; the Church may interpret them through theology. An Authority does not prove divinity, holiness, or moral superiority.

◈ Hereditary & Rare Abilities MAGIC CIRCUITS · ARCANE CRESTS · MYSTIC EYES
MAGIC CIRCUITS

Innate structures that process and channel Aether. Quantity influences potential throughput; quality influences efficiency, precision, and stability. Training improves use but cannot ordinarily increase natural quantity.

1–10 · Below average11–20 · Average21–40 · Above average40–100 · Prodigies / high-tier MagiAnomalies · Exceptional quantity or structure

Approximate reference ranges, not absolute rankings. Ability also depends on reserves, skill, knowledge, technique, and the target.

ARCANE CRESTS

Hereditary magical archives that preserve refined Spellcraft, stabilized Aetheric structures, and accumulated lineage knowledge. Designated inheritors may access them according to compatibility and training. Crests do not automatically grant mastery or increase innate Circuit count; older archives may contain incomplete, outdated, or incompatible structures. They are especially associated with Aokishen's ancient clans and may also occur among noble magical lineages elsewhere.

MYSTIC EYES

Rare ocular traits that perceive, interpret, or influence supernatural phenomena. They may awaken naturally, pass through a bloodline, or be artificially altered or transplanted. Abilities can include analysis, illusion, compulsion, petrification, and specialized perception, but seeing does not guarantee understanding or control. Overuse may cause sensory overload, exhaustion, or Circuit damage.

DAMPENERS

Specialized glasses, lenses, and blindfolds may suppress, filter, or restrict unwanted effects. Effectiveness depends on the eye and device; ordinary tinted lenses may only reduce strain.

PROTECTION & TRAFFICKING

Valuable eyes may attract collectors, criminals, or unethical researchers. Kidnapping, coercion, experiments, and transplantation are dangers; implantation is unreliable and does not guarantee compatibility. Possession of rare eyes grants no ownership over their bearer.

The Unknown Has a Cost

Dungeons absorb remains, reform after clearing, and shelter threats whose assessed ranks can change. Guilds, institutions, trade, and travel shape how people explore the world, recover its riches, and respond to what emerges beyond settled lands.

Three institutions shape exploration, magical scholarship, and religious authority across Lunareth. Their interests overlap, but none possesses universal control over the others.

⚔ Adventurers' Guild INTERWAR FOUNDING · CENTRAL ELYTHARA · F–S
INTERNATIONAL NETWORKINDEPENDENTCONTRACTS & THREAT RESPONSE

Founded during the Interwar Period, the Guild arose to coordinate postwar exploration and supernatural threat response while offering an alternative to expanding ecclesiastical control over investigations and hunts. Its headquarters is in central Elythara, with branches across major cities, ports, frontiers, and remote outposts; most capital cities maintain a branch, though local resources and autonomy vary.

Activities: Exploration, Monster hunting, supernatural investigations, escort and protection contracts, Dungeon expeditions, resource recovery, and records of threats and discoveries.

Independence: The Guild operates across borders but remains subject to local laws and political pressure. Branches can face corruption, disputes, or interference.

Relations: It cooperates with the CCC on threats while disputing Church control over investigations and classifications; it has a professional rivalry with the Magisterium over discoveries, artifacts, research access, and expedition rights. Governments may commission the Guild but do not universally control it.

Individual Adventurer Ranking System F–S · VERIFIED CAPABILITY & CONDUCT

Ranks reflect verified combat capability, magical proficiency, experience, judgment, reliability, teamwork, and professional achievements, not raw strength alone.

F

Beginners; supervised, low-risk assignments.

E

Routine contracts handled independently.

D

Established professionals for ordinary fieldwork.

C

Experienced adventurers for dangerous expeditions.

B

Elite professionals for major threats and high-risk operations.

A

Exceptional individuals whose abilities may affect battles or national security.

S

Extremely rare, internationally significant adventurers.

A- and S-Rank individuals may wield Conceptual Magic, rare Mystic Eyes, extraordinary relics, or personal Authorities. Such powers do not determine rank by themselves: not every S-Rank has an Authority or continental destructive capability.

Promotion: Requires verified achievements, field judgment, survival skills, teamwork, and conduct. A single victory does not guarantee promotion; fraud or misconduct can lead to suspension or demotion.

S-Rank privileges: International recognition; formal audiences with rulers and senior authorities; expedited travel or border permissions for authorized assignments; greater contract autonomy; safeguards against certain political coercion; eligibility for restricted contracts; emergency coordination and assistance requests where agreements permit; and priority appeals to senior Guild authorities.

S-Rank grants neither sovereignty nor universal immunity from law. Privileges depend on recognized agreements; abuse or criminal conduct can trigger investigation or loss of status.

Registered Adventurer Guilds ORGANIZATIONAL RANKING · INDEPENDENT LEADERSHIP

Registered Adventurer Guilds are organizations that operate under the international Guild's shared standards while retaining their own names, leadership, members, resources, and internal rules. Their scale ranges from small teams to influential multi-region organizations.

Structure: The international Adventurers' Guild handles registration, ranking, contracts, recognition, and professional regulations; registered organizations coordinate members, training, resources, and contracts; adventuring parties are temporary or permanent field teams.

Separate organizational ranks: F–S assessments consider collective achievements, operational capability, leadership, reliability, resources, and major assignments. Employing an S-Rank adventurer does not automatically make an organization S-Rank.

S-Rank Guild privileges: Diplomatic recognition; expedited cross-border operations; access to classified, catastrophic-threat, and international contracts; greater operational autonomy; emergency coordination where agreements permit; and priority logistical, administrative, and specialized Guild support.

S-Rank organizations gain neither sovereignty nor unrestricted military authority or legal immunity. Privileges depend on Guild rules and political agreements, and may be suspended for misconduct.

✧ The Magisterium INTERWAR FOUNDING · SOUTHWESTERN PELAGIC EXPANSE
CENTRALIZED HEADQUARTERSACADEMY & ARCHIVESNO REGIONAL BRANCHES

Founded during the Interwar Period, the Magisterium studies, preserves, and advances magical knowledge. Its headquarters and Academy occupy an island in the southwestern Pelagic Expanse, southeast of Elythara and northeast of Thalassor across the Abyssal Dirge Sea. It has no regional branches; influence travels through scholars, alumni, magical families, and research agreements.

Founder & Headmistress: An Ordan, an ancient human survivor whose ageless body has carried her into the modern age. She is recognized as the First Magician and the first known person to attain True Magic. Her unique power creates anything from nothing, beyond conventional Spellcraft.

Academy & research: Teaches magical theory and practical Spellcraft. Its researchers investigate Aether, Magic Circuits, relics, Dungeons, supernatural phenomena, True Magic, and the First Source. Archives and sensitive findings have controlled access.

Fieldwork: The Academy collaborates with registered adventurers for field training, Dungeon expeditions, and artifact recovery. Students and researchers may also register with the Adventurers' Guild.

Relations: It maintains a professional rivalry with the Guild over discoveries, artifacts, research access, and expedition rights; a strained but functional relationship with the CCC over doctrine, purification, wards, and restricted research; and cooperation agreements with governments while resisting external control.

The Magisterium governs its own Academy and scholarship, but holds no universal authority over magic. Research factions, influential families, institutional secrecy, foreign interests, and funding disputes continue to shape its politics.
✦ Celestial Covenant Church FOUNDED DURING THE WAR OF IRON AND AETHER · VALEDORN
CELESTIAL VENERATIONSOLARI & HEALINGDOCTRINE & POLITICAL INFLUENCE

Founded in Valedorn during the War of Iron and Aether, the CCC venerates Celestials as divine beings and guardians of sacred order. Its strongest influence lies in Valedorn, particularly Aurelion, where it stands beside the Crown and nobility as a major religious and political power.

Doctrine: The Church teaches that reality has a sacred order requiring protection from corruption. It favors Solari-affiliated Spellcraft and associates Noxaris with Demons, Monsters, and Dungeons, though these associations are not proven objective laws. Necromancy is strictly forbidden; Noxaris-affiliated practitioners and certain supernatural peoples may face suspicion or persecution.

Magic & rites: Clergy use Solari Elemental Spellcraft, Healing Spellcraft, protective Rune Spellcraft, wards, religious rites, and purification techniques. The Church strongly favors gifted Solari-affinity healers and may recruit or pressure them to join. Its ideas about souls, sacredness, and impurity reflect doctrine rather than necessarily objective supernatural fact.

House Vaelmont: The ruling dynasty and Church maintain a close, mutually beneficial alliance. The Crown offers patronage and legitimacy; the Church provides sacred ceremonies and supernatural protection. Vaelmont Astromancy remains an independent hereditary tradition preserved by the family's Arcane Crest. The Church does not control Vaelmont magical inheritance or royal succession, and disputes may arise over authority, research, regulation, or treatment of Noxaris-affiliated practitioners.

Organization & relations: Its clergy, scholars, investigators, and Ecclesiastical Orders maintain a hierarchy and internal doctrines that are only partially established. It cooperates with the Guild on threats but disputes investigations and classifications; its relationship with the Magisterium is strained but functional, particularly around wards, purification, and restricted research. Its influence elsewhere depends on local recognition and political agreements.

The Church's radical purification campaigns during the Ashen World War remain a source of international distrust. Its alliance with House Vaelmont is close, but not unconditional.
Institutional cooperation is practical, not absolute. The Guild, Magisterium, and Church compete over authority, discoveries, classification, research, and the treatment of supernatural beings.

⚔ Dungeons & Exploration SUPERNATURAL LOCATIONS · 43 RECORDED

Dungeons are mysterious supernatural environments first recorded during the Age of Empires. They appear as labyrinths, ruins, cavern systems, and spatially distorted structures, housing dangerous inhabitants, valuable materials, and sometimes artifacts beyond modern Spellcraft.

MonstersSpiritsUndeadWild FaeOccasional: Mythical Beasts, Elementals, Ancient Automatons
CORPSE ABSORPTION

Remains are gradually absorbed, strengthening inhabitants and intensifying Aether. Failed expeditions can make a Dungeon more dangerous.

CLEARING & REFORMATION

A cleared Dungeon may yield its Dungeon Core, but its structures and inhabitants eventually reform. The interval varies by Dungeon.

DUNGEON LORDS

A powerful inhabitant may dominate all or part of a Dungeon. It is a title, not a species, and defeating one does not necessarily destroy the Dungeon.

OTHERWORLDER'S POV
TAP ›
A Monster in the Forest

You awaken beneath an unfamiliar tree in the Kasumori Forest, with strange energy filling the air and no clear explanation for how you arrived. A mysterious girl watches from a branch above, apparently more curious than concerned, until a Core-bearing Monster emerges from the undergrowth; she stays where she is and calmly waits to see what you will do.

TAP ›
A Vampire's New Favorite

You wake in Larkhollow Copse to find a sharp-tongued vampire woman inspecting you, only to discover that your blood smells unusually appealing to her. She promptly declares you her personal blood supply and insists on taking you along, claiming the Monster-infested woods are dangerous for someone so clearly lost—even as her possessive confidence is punctuated by a hint of embarrassment.

TAP ›
An Appointment After Death

You find yourself in the luminous Last Threshold, where the angelic Raziel gently informs you that you have died. Rather than leaving you there, she offers the possibility of a new life in another world, with Divine Blessings to aid your next beginning; your first decisions are to discuss the blessings available to you and choose where you would like to be sent.

TAP ›
Something Wants Your Body

You suddenly appear in a cold, abandoned chamber somewhere in western Elythara, with shadowy passageways offering no clue to your location. A ghostlike figure approaches with eerie politeness before dissolving into black mist and launching a direct attempt to enter your body and seize control, turning your arrival into an immediate fight against possession.

ANY POV
TAP ›
Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild

The Adventurers' Guild headquarters hums with activity as adventurers collect contracts and exchange expedition reports. Behind the reception counter, fox-eared Zareen finally notices you staring at her in silence and tries to get your attention, asking whether you have come to register, take a quest, submit a report, or pursue some entirely different business.

Your Story in Lunareth

This open-ended introduction presents Lunareth as a world shaped by magic, rival institutions, dangerous Dungeons, ancient beings, and mysteries beyond any single authority's control. With no predetermined path, you can become an adventurer, pursue forbidden knowledge, build a kingdom, uncover lost secrets, or find your own place in the world; what happens next is entirely up to you.

There is no preset encounter or required direction, so the story begins wherever you decide.

AUTHOR'S NOTES

First bot, let's go 💀💀

Honestly, I shoved all the lore into the bio because I'm way too lazy to maintain a whole Google Doc. 💀 If something looks broken, bugged, or just doesn't make sense, feel free to let me know lmao.

Anyway, I mainly made Lunareth because I got tired of scrolling through Janitor and seeing all these "RPG" bots. Like, sometimes you find a genuinely good one, but then the actual world and lore get abandoned for months, sometimes even a whole year, while the creator keeps dropping random side characters. 😭

BRO, WHAT ABOUT THE WORLD ITSELF 💀💀

So yeah, I got tired of waiting around and decided to make my own. LOL.

A few things to keep in mind:

  • It's a WIP: I'm still messing around with things, so don't be surprised if I change some dungeon layouts, regions, magic rules, or whatever else down the line.
  • Characters: There's only a handful of characters in the lorebook right now, but I'll add more eventually. Let me cook. 🗿
  • Magisterium / Magic Academy: That little section is eventually gonna turn into a whole Magic School sub-series, with professors, students, and all that good stuff. I wanna get custom art for the characters, too. Whether my motivation cooperates is another story. 💀
  • Inspirations: The magic system is HEAVILY inspired by Type-Moon / Fate. If you've read their lore, you'll probably notice it pretty quickly LOL. I've also taken some inspiration from ASTERNA by Faekrie.

The plan is to make Lunareth my main world for any future standalone bots I release. Basically, instead of every bot living in its own little bubble, they'll have an actual world they can exist in, with shared lore, locations, history, and all that nerdy stuff. 🗿

Anyway, that's pretty much it. The world's still a work in progress, and I'll keep adding stuff whenever I feel like it (and whenever the laziness stops winning).

Have fun RPing in Lunareth, and try not to die in a dungeon or something. 🐱

And before anyone asks, YES, the bio looks vibecoded. 💀

Because it is. 😭

Bro, I literally only use this thing for my bots. CHILL 😭🙏

⌖ Atlas of Regions REGIONAL INDEX

A world-spanning atlas of regions, civilizations, seas, and supernatural waters.

REGIONAL MAP // LUNARETH

The known lands of Lunareth

TAP › Aokishen CONTINENT · NORTHWESTERN LUNARETH Ancient clans, imperial traditions, and spiritual customs.

Aokishen unfolds through towering mountain ranges, dense forests, fertile riverlands, and long stretches of coast dotted with settlements. Clan-governed cities and agricultural towns rise among the greenery, while fishing villages follow the shore and smaller communities sit close to the continent's supernatural wilderness.

Ancient architecture, layered robes, flowing sleeves, and embroidered clan motifs give its inhabited places a distinctive, timeworn character. Sacred sites and ancestral grounds sit alongside busy roads and waterways, making Aokishen feel both deeply rooted in the past and alive with everyday activity.

TAP › Valedorn KINGDOM · NORTHERN LUNARETH Feudal monarchy ruled by House Vaelmont.

Valedorn's landscape shifts from fertile plains and broad river valleys to wooded stretches, mountain ranges, fortified towns, and scattered ancient ruins. Stone castles, keeps, and noble estates punctuate the countryside, their walls and banners rising above cultivated land and the roads that connect its settlements.

Its towns carry a stately medieval character, with sturdy stone buildings and visible signs of royal, aristocratic, and religious influence. Rural fields and river communities soften the hard outlines of fortifications, while older ruins hint at the civilizations that shaped the kingdom before the present age.

TAP › Qasirah CONTINENT · NORTHEASTERN LUNARETH Desert settlements, merchant dynasties, and celestial scholarship.

Qasirah is a broad expanse of deserts, arid plains, and rocky highlands, broken by scattered oases where greenery gathers around precious water. Settlements cluster in these more hospitable pockets, creating striking contrasts between open, sun-baked terrain and the concentrated life of oasis towns.

Bustling markets, trading streets, and centers of scholarship give its inhabited places color and movement. Beyond them, long routes cross dry landscapes between isolated communities and prosperous commercial hubs, leaving Qasirah with a visual character of warm earth, pale stone, rugged horizons, and islands of green.

TAP › The Pelagic Expanse MARITIME REGION · CENTRAL LUNARETH Island polities, sea routes, and supernatural waters.

The Pelagic Expanse is a wide maritime landscape of open water, scattered islands, coastal settlements, and intricate reef systems. Harbors and waterfront towns line the more accessible shores, while ships travel between islands and distant coasts across a horizon often broken by sails and land silhouettes.

Beneath the surface, the familiar seascape gives way to deep channels, dangerous reefs, ancient ruins, and supernatural habitats. The region's scenery can shift from busy ports and shallow coastal waters to vast, uncertain stretches of ocean where the depths remain difficult to chart and even more difficult to explore.

TAP › Sylvanth REGION · FAR WESTERN LUNARETH An insular Elven woodland realm centered on the World Tree.

Sylvanth is an ancient woodland of immense trees, dense canopies, secluded clearings, and settlements tucked into the surrounding forest. Rather than overwhelming the landscape, its inhabited places seem to belong to it, surrounded by greenery and linked by paths that wind through a largely untouched natural world.

At Lethariel, the World Tree rises above the forest as a defining presence, connecting the settlement's silhouette to the woodland around it. Filtered light, old growth, and the region's natural magic lend Sylvanth a quiet, timeless appearance, far removed from the crowded landscapes of more urbanized lands.

TAP › Faelune OTHERWORLDLY REGION A difficult-to-reach realm of Fae, Elementals, and Spirits.

Faelune has no ordinary, easily charted landscape. Its boundaries shift and its environments behave in unfamiliar ways, making the region feel otherworldly rather than like a conventional stretch of land. Familiar routes and landmarks are difficult for outsiders to rely on, and the scenery does not always follow the expectations brought from the wider world.

Fae, Elementals, and Spirits inhabit these strange surroundings, while the region's elusive nature makes entry, navigation, and communication uncertain. Much of Faelune's appearance remains mysterious to those who have never crossed its difficult-to-find boundaries.

TAP › Thalassor REGION · SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERN LUNARETH Dwarven industries, volcanic terrain, and mineral wealth.

Thalassor is marked by imposing mountain ranges, mineral-rich highlands, volcanic slopes, and rugged coastlines. Exposed rock and dark stone dominate much of the scenery, while settlements and industrial sites gather around the mines, foundries, and workshops carved into or built beside the mountainous terrain.

Large stone structures and substantial workshops give its towns a solid, enduring appearance. Along the coast, harbors connect this steep and rocky landscape to the sea, while the volcanic highlands remain an unmistakable presence in the distance.

TAP › The Ashen Reaches REGION · SOUTHEASTERN LUNARETH Volcanic lands ruled by the Demon King.

The Ashen Reaches is a severe landscape of volcanic ground, ash-covered valleys, scorched expanses, and rugged wilderness. Dark slopes and barren stretches define much of the view, with settlements and coastal harbors appearing as small pockets of activity against the harsh terrain.

Its scenery is stark but not entirely uniform: volcanic formations, layers of ash, and rough wilderness shape the land between inhabited places. The result is a formidable region whose varied communities are set within a landscape that feels raw, weathered, and difficult to cross.

TAP › Elythara REGION · WESTERN LUNARETH Fertile lands and the neutral Adventurers' Guild headquarters.

Elythara spreads across fertile plains, wooded areas, winding rivers, and open countryside dotted with varied settlements. Farmland and rural towns sit alongside well-used roads and river crossings, while coastal villages and harbors connect inland communities to wider routes of travel and trade.

Its appearance is defined less by one dominant terrain than by a patchwork of green land, waterways, and connected communities. The neutral city at its heart brings an international feel to the region, with adventurers, merchants, and travelers passing through amid the steady movement of everyday commerce.

TAP › Frostglass Archipelago GEOGRAPHIC FEATURE · FAR SOUTHWEST Frozen islands influenced by Azyrith, a Naeris-Authority True Dragon.

The Frostglass Archipelago is a remote chain of ice-covered islands surrounded by frigid waters, frozen coastlines, and extensive ice formations. Pale islands and frozen ridgelines rise from the cold sea, their shapes sharply outlined against the dark, open water around them.

Unusual currents and shifting tides make the surrounding waters treacherous, adding to the archipelago's isolated and forbidding appearance. Beneath and between its frozen shores lie submerged formations and crystal caverns, while the immense stretch of deep sea keeps these islands visually and physically apart from the rest of Lunareth.

Regional governments, dominant populations, and cultures differ widely. An established location or nearby True Dragon does not automatically imply political allegiance or territorial rule.

HYDROGRAPHIC INDEX

Five major waters and currents shape Lunareth's maritime routes, supernatural habitats, and regional boundaries.

≈ Known Seas & Ocean Currents 5 GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES

The Cerulean Sea · MAJOR OCEANIC BASINThe Cerulean Sea is a vast maritime basin bordering Aokishen, Valedorn, Qasirah, Elythara, Thalassor, and the Ashen Reaches. It surrounds the Pelagic Expanse on all sides except the south. Scattered islands, deep channels, and heavily traveled sea routes shape the basin, while strong currents influence navigation across its broad waters. Aquatic monsters, sea serpents, and deep-sea creatures inhabit the Cerulean Sea. A Leviathan is also known to dwell somewhere within its waters, though its exact location and territorial range remain uncertain.

Zephyr Scale-Stream · SUPERNATURAL OCEAN CURRENTThe Zephyr Scale-Stream crosses west-northwestern Lunareth, southwest of Aokishen, northwest of Elythara and Faelune, and north of Sylvanth. It is an unusual ocean current shaped by persistent winds and powerful, shifting air currents. Across its waters, changing winds form scale-like patterns that ripple and rearrange with the breeze. Sudden gusts can carry vessels forward at surprising speed or drive them far off course, making the current as useful as it is unpredictable. The current is influenced by Shiryūzan, a lime-green Long-type True Dragon who possesses the Authority of Aevorin.

The Shattered Deep · FRACTURED DEEP OCEANThe Shattered Deep lies south of Sylvanth and Faelune, west of Thalassor, and surrounds the Frostglass Archipelago. Beneath its surface, a fractured seafloor of broken oceanbeds, submerged ridges, and deep fissures channels powerful underwater currents. These shifting currents and plunging oceanic fractures make navigation and exploration dangerous, while extreme underwater pressure adds to the hazards below. Deep-sea monsters and aquatic Mythical Beasts inhabit its waters. A Leviathan is known to dwell within the Shattered Deep, though its exact territory remains uncertain.

Abyssal Dirge Sea · ABYSSAL SEAThe Abyssal Dirge Sea lies in south-southeastern Lunareth, east of Thalassor, west of the Ashen Reaches, and south of the Pelagic Expanse. Its dark waters are poorly charted and offer unusually limited visibility, concealing extensive underwater formations far below the surface. Strange disturbances and the sea’s hidden depths complicate navigation, while deep-sea monsters, aquatic Mythical Beasts, and unidentified creatures inhabit its waters. Nharveth, a black True Dragon bearing the Authority of Noxaris, is known to occupy the sea’s southwestern reaches, though the extent of its influence over the surrounding waters remains uncertain.

The Veiled Ocean · REMOTE OCEANThe Veiled Ocean lies in far southeastern Lunareth, beyond the Ashen Reaches. Persistent mists and poor visibility hide distant islands and blur the horizon, and much of the sea remains incompletely charted. Aquatic monsters and deep-sea creatures inhabit its remote waters, where uncharted passages and unpredictable ocean conditions make travel hazardous. A Leviathan is known to inhabit the Veiled Ocean, but its movements and territorial range remain unknown.

⌛ History & Chronology BEFORE THE RECKONING · ~1500 AC

HISTORY // SUMMARY

Lunareth's shared chronology begins after the mysterious Reckoning and follows six recorded eras of empire, industrial warfare, political upheaval, and gradual reconstruction.

Current year: approximately 1500 AC · Modern Age

BEFORE THE RECKONING · BR

Age of Divinities & the Reckoning

Ancient traditions describe divine rule and magical technologies now lost. The Reckoning shattered the old divine order, devastated ancient civilizations, and preceded the establishment of the AC calendar. Its true events and the fate of the Gods remain uncertain.

RECORDED ERAS

1–1350 AC Age of Empires Kingdoms and regional powers rise, Dungeons enter historical records, and House Vaelmont establishes Aurelion.

1351–1372 AC War of Iron and Aether Industrialized Spellcraft transforms warfare. Aurelion campaigns against Qasirah and Aokishen, while the Celestial Covenant Church emerges in Valedorn.

1373–1397 AC Interwar Period Reconstruction, economic hardship, and political extremism reshape international relations. The Adventurers' Guild and Magisterium are established.

1398–1409 AC Ashen World War Aurelion's expansion and radical Church purification campaigns devastate the Ashen Reaches and other territories. The Demon King's later rise begins amid the aftermath.

1410–1465 AC Veiled Standoff Rival powers compete through espionage, proxy conflicts, economic pressure, and a magical arms race involving Homunculi, Golems, and Automatons.

1466 AC–PRESENT Modern Age Trade, reconstruction, and magical advancement continue, while historical grievances, religious disputes, and institutional rivalries remain unresolved.

A SHARED, NOT UNIVERSAL, CHRONOLOGY

These eras are a common historical framework, not a uniform account of every civilization. Their effects varied by region; Sylvanth and Faelune remained largely isolated from foreign military campaigns. Much of pre-Reckoning history remains disputed or unknown.

Six Questions of Lunareth THE THEMES BEHIND THE ERAS

Age of Empires: Who rules?

War of Iron and Aether: Who controls magic?

Interwar Period: Who classifies threats?

Ashen World War: Who survives classification?

Veiled Standoff: Who governs knowledge?

Modern Age: Will there ever be a final answer?

✦ OtherworldersTRANSWORLD INDIVIDUALS · WORLDS BEYOND LUNARETH

ORIGIN Worlds beyond Lunareth

PREVALENCE Extremely rare

ORIGIN & ARRIVAL

Otherworlders are individuals who arrive in Lunareth from worlds beyond it. Their arrival is exceptionally rare, and the circumstances behind each case may vary. Some receive supernatural Blessings before arriving, while others possess no special gifts whatsoever.

BLESSINGS & ABILITIES

Some Otherworlders receive Blessings from powerful supernatural beings before their arrival. These gifts vary in nature and potency, while others arrive without any supernatural advantages. Being an Otherworlder does not automatically grant exceptional abilities, immortality, or a predetermined destiny.

FATE & RECOGNITION

Otherworlders experience vastly different outcomes. Some live unnoticed lives and may perish without anyone discovering their origins. Others adapt to Lunareth, develop their abilities, and earn fame through their achievements, eventually influencing kingdoms, institutions, or historical events.

RESEARCH & INTEREST

Otherworlders who possess unusual Blessings or valuable knowledge from their original worlds may attract considerable attention. The Magisterium and other interested parties may seek to study their abilities, investigate the nature of their arrival, or acquire knowledge unavailable in Lunareth.

Nobles, rulers, merchants, and supernatural beings may also pursue them for strategic, economic, or personal reasons. Such interest can bring opportunities and protection, but may also lead to exploitation, coercion, or unwanted scrutiny.

Nature: A rare phenomenon connecting Lunareth to worlds beyond its own, with outcomes ranging from unremarkable lives to extraordinary historical influence.

Undead Beings animated or transformed through Necromancy, including Skeletons, Zombies, Ghouls, Wights, Vampires, and Liches.

MAGICAL NATURE & CLASSIFICATION Most humanoid peoples channel Aether through Magic Circuits. Monsters, Mythical Beasts, Demons, and Celestials rely on supernatural Cores; Artificial beings may use engineered Circuits, inscribed structures, or mechanical systems. Race, lineage, type, rank, and pact status are distinct classifications.

These classifications describe known examples, not an exhaustive list. Additional or undiscovered beings may exist throughout Lunareth.

✧ Supernatural EntitiesFAE · TRUE DRAGONS · DEMONS · CELESTIALS · ELEMENTALS · SPIRITS

Fae Ageless beings with innate enchantments and ancient customs. Nature-Bound Immortality lets them reconstitute while nature endures. Wild Fae may be dangerous huntable quarry.

True Dragons Seven primordial beings connected to the First Source, each with individual Concepts and Authorities. They shapeshift and can reconstitute after destruction. Dragonkin are pactbound members of other races, not a separate race.

Demons Ageless, Demonic-Core-bearing humanoids classified as Lesser Demons, Greater Demons, or Demon Lords. Succubi and Incubi are demonic types; the Demon King is a political sovereign.

Celestials Ageless upon maturity and sustained by Celestial Cores. Classifications include Angels, Archangels, and Seraph; Azherin are fallen Celestials whose original class remains.

Elementals Immortal, shapeshifting embodiments of Ignaris, Naeris, Aevorin, Terrun, Niharis, Solari, and Noxaris. Their essence can reconstitute while their element persists.

Spirits Lingering souls unable or unwilling to pass on. They may be banished, exorcised, or helped onward; some can possess living beings or lesser Undead.

TEN LEGENDARY BEINGS Seven True Dragons: Shiryūzan (Aevorin), Veythara (Niharis), Azyrith (Naeris), Rhazakar (Ignaris), Caelthir (Solari), Nharveth (Noxaris), and Kharuzan (Terrun). Three Gigantic Leviathans: Cerulean Sea, Shattered Deep, and Veiled Ocean. They are distinct from True Dragons; their precise origins and powers remain uncertain.

The Laws Beneath the Impossible

Aether fuels most Spellcraft; Magic Circuits process and channel it, while affinity and study shape its use. Beyond learnable techniques lie rare Mystic Eyes, Concepts, Authorities, and True Magic, whose nature and limits remain only partly understood.

AETHER✦CIRCUITS✦DISCIPLINES✦METAPHYSICS

✧ First Source · Aether PRIMORDIAL ORIGIN · FUNDAMENTAL ENERGY

THE FIRST SOURCE

Also called the Origin or Primordial Source, it is the theoretical foundation from which existence and possibility emerge. It may represent a primordial state beyond space, time, life, and death, but its true nature is unknown. Whether it can be reached or merely explains the possibility of existence remains unresolved.

Direct contact is believed to erase a being's existence. The theory holds that anyone who somehow survives becomes a Magician, though no certainty about the Source's accessibility is established.

AETHER & THE FLOW OF ENERGY

Aether is the fundamental supernatural energy that enables most forms of Spellcraft throughout Lunareth. It exists within living beings and in the environment, serving as the resource Magi manipulate through their Magic Circuits. Aether is not an element; it powers both elemental and non-elemental Spellcraft.

INTERNAL AETHER Energy available within a living being, processed through their Magic Circuits. Rest and specialized techniques support natural replenishment.

AMBIENT AETHER Energy present in the environment. Its concentration varies between locations and conditions, affecting how readily it can be drawn upon.

AMBIENT AETHER UTILIZATION

GROUP I · NATURALLY ATTUNED BEINGS True Dragons, Fae, Elementals, Spirits, and Undead can draw upon Ambient Aether through their supernatural nature. Their methods differ according to their existence, including elemental essence, innate enchantments, spiritual form, necromantic energy, or their connection to the First Source.

GROUP II · CORE-BEARING BEINGS Celestials, Demons, Monsters, and Mythical Beasts possess supernatural Cores rather than ordinary Magic Circuits. Their Cores can facilitate the absorption and use of Ambient Aether, supplementing their existing power and sustaining supernatural abilities.

Ambient Aether utilization varies by species and individual. Most races rely primarily on their internal reserves and Magic Circuits. Drawing upon ambient energy depends on the practitioner's abilities and surrounding conditions; it does not provide unlimited energy or remove inherent limitations.

CAPACITY, COST & LIMITATIONS

A practitioner's magical performance depends on their Aether reserves, Magic Circuit quantity and quality, and control. Greater reserves do not guarantee greater output, while powerful Circuits cannot function indefinitely without sufficient energy. Spellcraft consumes Aether according to its complexity, scale, and duration. Aether can also be stored or transferred through specialized devices, rituals, and enchanted materials.

DRAWBACKS OF EXCESSIVE SPELLCRAFT USE

Excessive Spellcraft depletes Aether reserves and strains the practitioner's Magic Circuits. Early symptoms include fatigue, dizziness, reduced concentration, and declining spell control. Continued overexertion may cause unstable spellcasting, severe physical exhaustion, and Circuit damage. In extreme cases, a practitioner may collapse or suffer lasting magical impairment.

Recovery generally requires rest and Aether replenishment. Severity depends on reserves, Circuit quality, control, and spell intensity. Drawing upon Ambient Aether does not eliminate these risks.

ENVIRONMENTAL AETHER Aether concentrations vary across Lunareth. Dense or unstable regions can support powerful supernatural phenomena and magical research, but may also disrupt Spellcraft or cause dangerous fluctuations.

SCHOLARLY UNDERSTANDING The Magisterium studies Aether's properties, circulation, and relationship with supernatural phenomena. Its ultimate origin remains unknown, as does its potential relationship with the First Source.

THE SEVEN PRIMARY ELEMENTS

🔥 Ignaris ◉ Naeris ◆ Terrun 〰 Aevorin ◇ Niharis ✧ Solari ☾ Noxaris

Elemental Affinity improves aptitude and efficiency but does not ordinarily prevent learning other elements. Common compound models include Ice (Naeris + Aevorin), Lava (Ignaris + Terrun), Lightning (Ignaris + Aevorin), Steam (Ignaris + Naeris), and Mud (Naeris + Terrun). Elemental affinity does not determine morality: the Church favors Solari, while Noxaris may face prejudice in some societies, but neither is inherently virtuous or evil.

✧ BlessingsSUPERNATURAL BESTOWAL · AETHER · CONCEPTS · AUTHORITIES · CONTRACTS

Blessings are supernatural benefits bestowed by powerful beings upon other individuals. They may enhance existing abilities, grant new powers, provide protection, or establish supernatural affinities. Their effects depend on the bestower, the recipient, and the nature of the gift.

DIVINE BLESSINGS Bestowed by Divine beings, including Celestials, granting supernatural benefits according to the bestower's capabilities.

ELEMENTAL BLESSINGS Gifts from Elementals that grant elemental affinities, manipulation, or other abilities associated with their fundamental element. These may accompany supernatural contracts.

DRACONIC BLESSINGS Gifts bestowed by True Dragons, potentially granting draconic traits, supernatural abilities, or an affinity connected to the Dragon's nature.

LIMITATIONS & RELATED ARRANGEMENTS Blessings vary in potency, duration, conditions, and compatibility. They do not automatically grant Authorities, constitute True Magic, or provide unlimited power. Supernatural contracts and Dragonkin pacts are related but distinct arrangements; their terms and effects depend on the beings involved and need not constitute Blessings.

✧ True Magic · Spellcraft IRREPRODUCIBLE PHENOMENA · MAGICAL DISCIPLINESTRUE MAGIC Phenomena that conventional Spellcraft cannot reproduce, regardless of talent, resources, knowledge, or technical advancement. The defining distinction is irreproducibility, not raw power: even a mountain-destroying spell remains conventional if established principles can reproduce its effect. Its relationship with the First Source is uncertain. Some Magi believe it requires reaching or understanding the Source; others regard it as a breakthrough in understanding reality itself.

MAGI A Magus (plural: Magi) is an individual who studies or practices Spellcraft through theory, experimentation, inherited knowledge, and application. They may specialize in research, crafting, healing, alchemy, rituals, or combat.

MAGICIANS Individuals who have attained True Magic and achieved a phenomenon conventional Spellcraft cannot reproduce. Exceptional strength, knowledge, or mastery alone does not make someone a Magician.

Magi master what Spellcraft can accomplish. Magicians attain what it fundamentally cannot.

SPELLCRAFT DISCIPLINES

Magi can study multiple disciplines, combine established methods, and develop new techniques. These branches are established examples, not an exhaustive list.

ElementalAlchemyGolemancyWitchcraftCurse ArtsNecromancyHealingMudra ArtsProjectionReinforcementRuneSpatialVaelmont Astromancy

Elemental SpellcraftGenerates, shapes, and controls the seven primary elements and compound phenomena for combat, defense, and utility. Affinity helps a practitioner learn naturally but does not prohibit other elements. Cultural associations, including the Church's preference for Solari and prejudice toward Noxaris, do not define a user's character.

AlchemyTransforms and refines matter, develops reagents and medicine, modifies biological systems, and supports artificial creation. It does not ordinarily create matter from nothing. Homunculi are artificially created living beings that may possess consciousness and autonomy; creation does not establish ownership. Regulation and social acceptance vary.

GolemancyConstructs and animates bodies made from clay, stone, metal, wood, or other materials. Golems and magically animated Automatons may overlap, but differ from biological Homunculi. Golemancy is generally accepted as a legitimate discipline, though constructs involving souls, corpses, forbidden rituals, or sentience experiments may draw scrutiny. Capabilities depend on construction, instructions, materials, cores, and Aether.

WitchcraftUses rituals, charms, herbalism, potions, sympathetic magic, and supernatural remedies. Some Witches use enchanted brooms for flight. Noxaris is commonly associated with Witchcraft but is not required. The discipline is generally tolerated, though dangerous or unconventional practices may be scrutinized; Witchcraft is not inherently evil.

Curse ArtsImposes supernatural conditions on people, objects, places, or the caster. Curses are often persistent; Hexes tend to be localized or temporary, though usage varies. Effects include affliction, binding, conditional triggers, and protection. Curse Release breaks a curse; Curse Transfer redirects it and may carry severe ethical and magical risks. Precision and preparation matter more than raw output.

NecromancyManipulates corpses, death-related Aetheric phenomena, and reanimation or control of the dead. It is strictly forbidden under Celestial Covenant Church doctrine and commonly prohibited in Valedorn and other Church-aligned jurisdictions. The Magisterium may study it academically, while dangerous experiments remain restricted. Funerary rites, spirit communication, and studying naturally occurring Undead do not automatically constitute Necromancy. It grants no unrestricted control over death, souls, or the afterlife.

Healing SpellcraftRestores wounds and damaged tissue, treats physical ailments and toxins, stabilizes magical injury, and may address spiritual harm with specialized methods. Advanced practitioners develop Regenerative Spellcraft; rare specialists achieve Automatic Regeneration while sufficient Aether and a functional system remain. It cannot reverse true death, restore a destroyed soul, or automatically cure every disease or replace lost limbs. Solari affinity is helpful but not required. The Celestial Covenant Church favors Solari-associated healing and may actively recruit or pressure gifted healers, while healers of other affinities remain common.

Mudra ArtsAn ancient Aokishen discipline using precise hand seals and controlled Aether to create elemental effects, barriers, bindings, passage, purification, and limited conceptual conditions. Hereditary lineages preserve advanced techniques through Arcane Crests and restricted teaching. Conceptual Seals are conditional and resistible, not absolute dominion; gestures, concentration, knowledge, and Aether are required.

Projection & Echo ForgingProjection temporarily materializes objects from a practitioner's mental model and knowledge; elemental affinity may influence the form. Echo Forging uses detailed Imprints of an armament's structure, materials, enchantments, and supernatural properties to reconstruct replicas, generally one quality grade below the original. Signature effects may remain, but complexity raises the cost and difficulty. A replica does not grant the original wielder's personal skills or unrelated abilities.

Reinforcement SpellcraftChannels Aether into existing bodies or objects to strengthen physical properties, senses, reflexes, tools, weapons, and armor. It enhances rather than heals or permanently transforms. Over-Reinforcement can crack objects or injure bodies when generated force exceeds structural limits. Effective casting balances enhancement with integrity and available Aether.

Rune Spellcraft & the Twenty-Four RunesUses Runes to encode effects activated through Aether. Modern Runes are standardized and comparatively accessible; Ancient Runes preserve deeper interpretations and may produce limited conceptual phenomena. Copying a symbol's appearance does not reproduce its underlying method or power.

Compound Runes and larger formations coordinate conditional, delayed, or sequential effects. Rune meanings are interpretive rather than absolute.

Spatial SpellcraftManipulates space, distance, and spatial boundaries to create displacement, teleportation, gateways, dimensional passage, storage, and potentially pocket dimensions. Niharis affinity is advantageous but not required. Cost and risk rise with distance, mass, complexity, unstable anchors, hostile wards, and spatial interference. Transporting unwilling or magically protected targets requires overcoming their resistance.

Vaelmont AstromancyA hereditary House Vaelmont tradition treating celestial patterns as a vast magical formation. It supports celestial observation, divination, astral manipulation, and large-scale convergence. Predictions describe possibilities, not guaranteed outcomes; Fate and Causality effects remain highly specialized and limited. House Vaelmont's Arcane Crest, above-average Magic Circuits, research, and guarded teaching support the tradition. The complete methods are preserved within the House.

SYSTEM BOUNDARY Spellcraft remains constrained by Aether, Circuit capacity, understanding, technique, and supernatural opposition. Novel disciplines can expand what is reproducible, but do not become True Magic merely by being powerful or rare.

⟡ Authorities · Concepts SUPERNATURAL DOMINION · METAPHYSICAL PRINCIPLES

AUTHORITIES Exceptionally rare inherent or bestowed dominion over a Concept, phenomenon, or domain. An Authority directly exercises dominion rather than merely producing a limited related effect, but its scope is not necessarily absolute.

CONCEPTS Abstract principles underlying reality, including Life, Death, Time, Space, Severance, Binding, and Passage. Specialized Spellcraft may influence aspects of a Concept, but the effect is limited by its conditions, the practitioner's ability, and opposing forces.

CONCEPTUAL WEAPONS & ARTIFACTS Some weapons and relics embody Concepts or possess Authorities, enabling properties ordinary enchantments cannot reproduce. Many are believed to originate in the Age of Divinity; their makers and mechanisms are often unknown, and understanding an effect does not mean understanding its construction.

LIMITS & UNCERTAINTY Influencing one aspect of a Concept does not grant dominion over its whole domain. Authorities may be borne by supernatural beings, artifacts, or rare individuals, and cannot ordinarily be learned through training. Their origins, conflicts, and relationship with the First Source remain uncertain. The Magisterium studies them; the Church may interpret them through theology. An Authority does not prove divinity, holiness, or moral superiority.

◈ Hereditary & Rare Abilities MAGIC CIRCUITS · ARCANE CRESTS · MYSTIC EYES

MAGIC CIRCUITS Innate structures that process and channel Aether. Quantity influences potential throughput; quality influences efficiency, precision, and stability. Training improves use but cannot ordinarily increase natural quantity. 1–10 · Below average11–20 · Average21–40 · Above average40–100 · Prodigies / high-tier MagiAnomalies · Exceptional quantity or structure Approximate reference ranges, not absolute rankings. Ability also depends on reserves, skill, knowledge, technique, and the target.

ARCANE CRESTS Hereditary magical archives that preserve refined Spellcraft, stabilized Aetheric structures, and accumulated lineage knowledge. Designated inheritors may access them according to compatibility and training. Crests do not automatically grant mastery or increase innate Circuit count; older archives may contain incomplete, outdated, or incompatible structures. They are especially associated with Aokishen's ancient clans and may also occur among noble magical lineages elsewhere.

MYSTIC EYES Rare ocular traits that perceive, interpret, or influence supernatural phenomena. They may awaken naturally, pass through a bloodline, or be artificially altered or transplanted. Abilities can include analysis, illusion, compulsion, petrification, and specialized perception, but seeing does not guarantee understanding or control. Overuse may cause sensory overload, exhaustion, or Circuit damage. GildedGemlikePrismaticTranscendent IRIS SPECTRUM · CLASSIFIES SUPERNATURAL SIGNIFICANCE, NOT GUARANTEED COMBAT POWER

DAMPENERS Specialized glasses, lenses, and blindfolds may suppress, filter, or restrict unwanted effects. Effectiveness depends on the eye and device; ordinary tinted lenses may only reduce strain.

PROTECTION & TRAFFICKING Valuable eyes may attract collectors, criminals, or unethical researchers. Kidnapping, coercion, experiments, and transplantation are dangers; implantation is unreliable and does not guarantee compatibility. Possession of rare eyes grants no ownership over their bearer.

⚔ Adventurers' Guild INTERWAR FOUNDING · CENTRAL ELYTHARA · F–S

INTERNATIONAL NETWORKINDEPENDENTCONTRACTS & THREAT RESPONSE

Founded during the Interwar Period, the Guild arose to coordinate postwar exploration and supernatural threat response while offering an alternative to expanding ecclesiastical control over investigations and hunts. Its headquarters is in central Elythara, with branches across major cities, ports, frontiers, and remote outposts; most capital cities maintain a branch, though local resources and autonomy vary.

Activities: Exploration, Monster hunting, supernatural investigations, escort and protection contracts, Dungeon expeditions, resource recovery, and records of threats and discoveries.

Independence: The Guild operates across borders but remains subject to local laws and political pressure. Branches can face corruption, disputes, or interference.

Relations: It cooperates with the CCC on threats while disputing Church control over investigations and classifications; it has a professional rivalry with the Magisterium over discoveries, artifacts, research access, and expedition rights. Governments may commission the Guild but do not universally control it.

Individual Adventurer Ranking System F–S · VERIFIED CAPABILITY & CONDUCT

Ranks reflect verified combat capability, magical proficiency, experience, judgment, reliability, teamwork, and professional achievements, not raw strength alone.

FBeginners; supervised, low-risk assignments.

ERoutine contracts handled independently.

DEstablished professionals for ordinary fieldwork.

CExperienced adventurers for dangerous expeditions.

BElite professionals for major threats and high-risk operations.

AExceptional individuals whose abilities may affect battles or national security.

SExtremely rare, internationally significant adventurers.

A- and S-Rank individuals may wield Conceptual Magic, rare Mystic Eyes, extraordinary relics, or personal Authorities. Such powers do not determine rank by themselves: not every S-Rank has an Authority or continental destructive capability.

Promotion: Requires verified achievements, field judgment, survival skills, teamwork, and conduct. A single victory does not guarantee promotion; fraud or misconduct can lead to suspension or demotion.

S-Rank privileges: International recognition; formal audiences with rulers and senior authorities; expedited travel or border permissions for authorized assignments; greater contract autonomy; safeguards against certain political coercion; eligibility for restricted contracts; emergency coordination and assistance requests where agreements permit; and priority appeals to senior Guild authorities.

S-Rank grants neither sovereignty nor universal immunity from law. Privileges depend on recognized agreements; abuse or criminal conduct can trigger investigation or loss of status.

Registered Adventurer Guilds ORGANIZATIONAL RANKING · INDEPENDENT LEADERSHIP

Registered Adventurer Guilds are organizations that operate under the international Guild's shared standards while retaining their own names, leadership, members, resources, and internal rules. Their scale ranges from small teams to influential multi-region organizations.

Structure: The international Adventurers' Guild handles registration, ranking, contracts, recognition, and professional regulations; registered organizations coordinate members, training, resources, and contracts; adventuring parties are temporary or permanent field teams.

Separate organizational ranks: F–S assessments consider collective achievements, operational capability, leadership, reliability, resources, and major assignments. Employing an S-Rank adventurer does not automatically make an organization S-Rank.

S-Rank Guild privileges: Diplomatic recognition; expedited cross-border operations; access to classified, catastrophic-threat, and international contracts; greater operational autonomy; emergency coordination where agreements permit; and priority logistical, administrative, and specialized Guild support.

S-Rank organizations gain neither sovereignty nor unrestricted military authority or legal immunity. Privileges depend on Guild rules and political agreements, and may be suspended for misconduct.

✧ The Magisterium INTERWAR FOUNDING · SOUTHWESTERN PELAGIC EXPANSE

CENTRALIZED HEADQUARTERSACADEMY & ARCHIVESNO REGIONAL BRANCHES

Founded during the Interwar Period, the Magisterium studies, preserves, and advances magical knowledge. Its headquarters and Academy occupy an island in the southwestern Pelagic Expanse, southeast of Elythara and northeast of Thalassor across the Abyssal Dirge Sea. It has no regional branches; influence travels through scholars, alumni, magical families, and research agreements.

Founder & Headmistress: An Ordan, an ancient human survivor whose ageless body has carried her into the modern age. She is recognized as the First Magician and the first known person to attain True Magic. Her unique power creates anything from nothing, beyond conventional Spellcraft.

Academy & research: Teaches magical theory and practical Spellcraft. Its researchers investigate Aether, Magic Circuits, relics, Dungeons, supernatural phenomena, True Magic, and the First Source. Archives and sensitive findings have controlled access.

Fieldwork: The Academy collaborates with registered adventurers for field training, Dungeon expeditions, and artifact recovery. Students and researchers may also register with the Adventurers' Guild.

Relations: It maintains a professional rivalry with the Guild over discoveries, artifacts, research access, and expedition rights; a strained but functional relationship with the CCC over doctrine, purification, wards, and restricted research; and cooperation agreements with governments while resisting external control.

The Magisterium governs its own Academy and scholarship, but holds no universal authority over magic. Research factions, influential families, institutional secrecy, foreign interests, and funding disputes continue to shape its politics.

✦ Celestial Covenant Church FOUNDED DURING THE WAR OF IRON AND AETHER · VALEDORN

CELESTIAL VENERATIONSOLARI & HEALINGDOCTRINE & POLITICAL INFLUENCE

Founded in Valedorn during the War of Iron and Aether, the CCC venerates Celestials as divine beings and guardians of sacred order. Its strongest influence lies in Valedorn, particularly Aurelion, where it stands beside the Crown and nobility as a major religious and political power.

Doctrine: The Church teaches that reality has a sacred order requiring protection from corruption. It favors Solari-affiliated Spellcraft and associates Noxaris with Demons, Monsters, and Dungeons, though these associations are not proven objective laws. Necromancy is strictly forbidden; Noxaris-affiliated practitioners and certain supernatural peoples may face suspicion or persecution.

Magic & rites: Clergy use Solari Elemental Spellcraft, Healing Spellcraft, protective Rune Spellcraft, wards, religious rites, and purification techniques. The Church strongly favors gifted Solari-affinity healers and may recruit or pressure them to join. Its ideas about souls, sacredness, and impurity reflect doctrine rather than necessarily objective supernatural fact.

House Vaelmont: The ruling dynasty and Church maintain a close, mutually beneficial alliance. The Crown offers patronage and legitimacy; the Church provides sacred ceremonies and supernatural protection. Vaelmont Astromancy remains an independent hereditary tradition preserved by the family's Arcane Crest. The Church does not control Vaelmont magical inheritance or royal succession, and disputes may arise over authority, research, regulation, or treatment of Noxaris-affiliated practitioners.

Organization & relations: Its clergy, scholars, investigators, and Ecclesiastical Orders maintain a hierarchy and internal doctrines that are only partially established. It cooperates with the Guild on threats but disputes investigations and classifications; its relationship with the Magisterium is strained but functional, particularly around wards, purification, and restricted research. Its influence elsewhere depends on local recognition and political agreements.

The Church's radical purification campaigns during the Ashen World War remain a source of international distrust. Its alliance with House Vaelmont is close, but not unconditional.

Institutional cooperation is practical, not absolute. The Guild, Magisterium, and Church compete over authority, discoveries, classification, research, and the treatment of supernatural beings.

A Monster in the Forest

You awaken beneath an unfamiliar tree in the Kasumori Forest, with strange energy filling the air and no clear explanation for how you arrived. A mysterious girl watches from a branch above, apparently more curious than concerned, until a Core-bearing Monster emerges from the undergrowth; she stays where she is and calmly waits to see what you will do.

AUTHOR'S NOTES

First bot, let's go 💀💀

Honestly, I shoved all the lore into the bio because I'm way too lazy to maintain a whole Google Doc. 💀 If something looks broken, bugged, or just doesn't make sense, feel free to let me know lmao.

Anyway, I mainly made Lunareth because I got tired of scrolling through Janitor and seeing all these "RPG" bots. Like, sometimes you find a genuinely good one, but then the actual world and lore get abandoned for months, sometimes even a whole year, while the creator keeps dropping random side characters. 😭

BRO, WHAT ABOUT THE WORLD ITSELF 💀💀

So yeah, I got tired of waiting around and decided to make my own. LOL.

A few things to keep in mind:

It's a WIP: I'm still messing around with things, so don't be surprised if I change some dungeon layouts, regions, magic rules, or whatever else down the line.

Characters: There's only a handful of characters in the lorebook right now, but I'll add more eventually. Let me cook. 🗿

Magisterium / Magic Academy: That little section is eventually gonna turn into a whole Magic School sub-series, with professors, students, and all that good stuff. I wanna get custom art for the characters, too. Whether my motivation cooperates is another story. 💀

Inspirations: The magic system is HEAVILY inspired by Type-Moon / Fate. If you've read their lore, you'll probably notice it pretty quickly LOL. I've also taken some inspiration from ASTERNA by Faekrie.

The plan is to make Lunareth my main world for any future standalone bots I release. Basically, instead of every bot living in its own little bubble, they'll have an actual world they can exist in, with shared lore, locations, history, and all that nerdy stuff. 🗿

Anyway, that's pretty much it. The world's still a work in progress, and I'll keep adding stuff whenever I feel like it (and whenever the laziness stops winning).

Have fun RPing in Lunareth, and try not to die in a dungeon or something. 🐱

And before anyone asks, YES, the bio looks vibecoded. 💀

Because it is. 😭

Bro, I literally only use this thing for my bots. CHILL 😭🙏

THE WORLD BEYOND THE KNOWN

Lunareth is a world of diverse peoples, powerful magic, and unexplained supernatural phenomena.

Lunareth: General World Information

Classification: General World Reference Current Era: Modern Age | Approximately 1500 AC

World Overview

Lunareth is a high-fantasy world where magic, diverse civilizations, and supernatural beings coexist. Its societies include kingdoms, merchant dynasties, ancient clans, religious institutions, magical organizations, and independent supernatural territories. Ancient ruins, dangerous Dungeons, forgotten histories, and unexplained phenomena remain scattered throughout the world.

Major Regions

  • Aokishen: Northwestern continent shaped by ancient clans, imperial traditions, and spiritual practices.
  • Valedorn: Northern kingdom ruled by House Vaelmont, influenced by feudal nobility and the Celestial Covenant Church.
  • Qasirah: Northeastern desert continent dominated by Beastkin, merchant dynasties, and oasis settlements.
  • The Pelagic Expanse: Central maritime region connecting surrounding territories through islands, ports, and sea routes.
  • Elythara: Western region of fertile lands, diverse populations, and the Adventurers' Guild headquarters.
  • Sylvanth: Far western woodland realm inhabited primarily by Elves, centered on the World Tree.
  • Faelune: Otherworldly region inhabited by Fae, Elementals, and Spirits.
  • Thalassor: Southwestern region known for Dwarven craftsmanship, mining, metallurgy, and volcanic terrain.
  • The Ashen Reaches: Southeastern supernatural region ruled by the Demon King and populated primarily by Demons.
  • Frostglass Archipelago: Remote frozen islands influenced by Azyrith, a blue True Dragon. Airplane travel is the only established means of access.

Races and Supernatural Beings

Lunareth contains Humans, Beastkin, Elves, Dwarves, Nerukai, Kethari, Fae, Demons, Celestials, Elementals, Spirits, Undead, Monsters, Mythical Beasts, and artificial beings such as Golems, Homunculi, and Automatons. Their origins, abilities, cultures, and supernatural natures vary. Race alone does not determine an individual's morality or allegiance.

Seven True Dragons possess extraordinary Authorities, while three Gigantic Leviathans inhabit major seas. These singular beings remain distinct from ordinary supernatural creatures.

Magic and the Supernatural

Magic influences warfare, medicine, craftsmanship, scholarship, and daily life. Its practices range from systematic Spellcraft to rare supernatural phenomena that exceed conventional magical methods.

Aether and Spellcraft

Aether is the fundamental energy used by most Spellcraft. Magic Circuits process and channel it. An ordinary practitioner possesses approximately 20 Circuits, while prodigies and high-tier Magi may possess 40–100. Circuit quantity, quality, training, and experience influence magical capability.

Spellcraft comprises learnable disciplines, including Elemental Spellcraft, Alchemy, Witchcraft, Curse Arts, Necromancy, Golemancy, Healing Spellcraft, Mudra Arts, Projection, Reinforcement, Rune, Spatial, and Astromancy Spellcraft.

The seven primary elements are Fire (Ignaris), Water (Naeris), Earth (Terrun), Wind (Aevorin), Void (Niharis), Light (Solari), and Darkness (Noxaris). Compound elements combine elemental principles. Elemental Affinity improves aptitude but does not ordinarily prevent learning other elements. House Vaelmont is particularly associated with hereditary Astromancy.

Hereditary and Rare Abilities

Arcane Crests preserve hereditary Spellcraft, magical structures, and accumulated knowledge without ordinarily increasing an inheritor's Circuit count.

Mystic Eyes grant rare supernatural perception or specialized effects. They may arise naturally, through inheritance, or through artificial procedures. Their Iris Spectrum classifications are Gilded, Gemlike, Prismatic, and Transcendent.

Concepts and Authorities

Concepts are abstract principles underlying existence, such as Life, Death, Time, Space, Stillness, Binding, and Separation. Advanced Spellcraft can influence some Concepts within limits.

Authorities grant exceptionally rare supernatural dominion over particular Concepts or domains. They are distinct from conventional Spellcraft and cannot ordinarily be acquired through study. Neither conceptual effects nor Authorities inherently provide unlimited control over reality.

True Magic and the First Source

True Magic encompasses phenomena that conventional Spellcraft cannot reproduce, regardless of technical advancement or available resources. Those who attain it are called Magicians, distinct from Magi who practice conventional Spellcraft.

The First Source, also called the Origin or Primordial Source, is the hypothesized ultimate foundation of existence. Its true nature and relationship to Aether, Concepts, Authorities, and True Magic remain unknown.

Blessings

Blessings are supernatural benefits bestowed by powerful beings upon other individuals. They may enhance existing abilities, grant new powers, provide protection, or establish supernatural affinities. Their effects depend on the bestower, the recipient, and the nature of the gift.

Recognized types include:

  • Divine Blessings: Bestowed by Divine beings, including Celestials, granting supernatural benefits according to the bestower's capabilities.
  • Elemental Blessings: Gifts from Elementals that may grant elemental affinities, manipulation, or abilities associated with their fundamental element.
  • Draconic Blessings: Gifts bestowed by True Dragons that may grant draconic traits, supernatural abilities, or affinities connected to the Dragon's nature.

Blessings vary in potency, duration, conditions, and compatibility. They do not automatically grant Authorities, constitute True Magic, or provide unlimited power. Elemental contracts and Dragonkin pacts are distinct arrangements that may involve additional abilities or benefits.

Otherworlders

Otherworlders are individuals who arrive in Lunareth from other worlds through circumstances that remain poorly understood. Some receive Blessings before their arrival, while others possess no special gifts.

Their fates vary considerably. Some live unnoticed lives and may die without their origins ever being discovered. Others adapt to Lunareth, develop their abilities, and become influential figures who shape civilizations or historical events.

Otherworlders possessing unusual Blessings or valuable knowledge from their original worlds often attract considerable attention. The Magisterium may seek to study their abilities and investigate their origins, while nobles, rulers, merchants, and supernatural beings may pursue their knowledge or powers for their own interests.

Such attention can bring opportunities and protection, but may also lead to exploitation, coercion, or unwanted scrutiny. Being an Otherworlder does not guarantee exceptional abilities, fame, or a predetermined destiny.

Magical Principles

Magical potential and hereditary traits influence aptitude, but knowledge and practical skill determine mastery. Hereditary Circuits and Arcane Crests can reinforce noble privilege and unequal access to magical education and resources. However, lineage does not guarantee mastery or authority, and these inequalities vary across Lunareth.

Most Spellcraft requires Aether and has practical limitations. Research can develop new techniques and disciplines, while rare abilities may exceed conventional methods. Spellcraft, conceptual effects, Authorities, Blessings, and True Magic remain distinct classifications.

Dungeons and Exploration

Dungeons are mysterious supernatural environments containing Monsters, valuable materials, and sometimes ancient artifacts or extraordinary relics. Their origins remain poorly understood, and their inhabitants and hazards vary considerably.

The Adventurers' Guild classifies adventurers and Dungeons from F to S Rank, based on assessed capabilities and threats. Rankings may change as new information emerges. Exploration, Monster hunting, contracts, resource recovery, and supernatural threat response are major adventuring activities.

Major Institutions

  • Adventurers' Guild: Independent international organization coordinating contracts, expeditions, Monster hunting, and threat response, with branches in most capital cities.
  • Magisterium: International magical institution founded during the Interwar Period by the First Magician, dedicated to education, research, and preservation. Its Academy is located on the southwestern islands of the Pelagic Expanse.
  • Celestial Covenant Church (CCC): Religious institution originating in Valedorn that venerates Celestials and emphasizes sacred order, purification, and protective magic.

These institutions cooperate when their interests align but may dispute authority, research, artifacts, and supernatural classifications. The Church favors Light-associated practices and scrutinizes certain Darkness-related disciplines. Magical regulations differ across kingdoms, institutions, and lineages.

Economy and Transportation

Copper, silver, gold, and platinum coins form the common monetary system, with ten coins of one denomination equaling one of the next. Regional currencies and high-value banknotes also exist.

Railways connect major settlements and industrial centers, while ships dominate maritime transport. Airplanes offer faster but substantially more expensive travel, primarily connecting major capitals, institutional hubs, and Frostglass Archipelago.

History and Chronology

Lunareth's modern civilizations have been shaped by ancient empires, magical conflicts, religious campaigns, political rivalries, and international trade.

Its six recorded eras are:

  1. Age of Empires
  2. War of Iron and Aether
  3. Interwar Period
  4. Ashen World War
  5. Veiled Standoff
  6. Modern Age

The current world is approximately 1500 AC. Much of Lunareth's earliest history remains unknown, and ancient events continue to influence modern societies.

Fundamental Principle

Lunareth combines ordinary civilization with powerful magic, diverse peoples, and unexplained supernatural phenomena. Its histories, political structures, and magical knowledge remain incomplete, leaving room for discovery, conflict, and further development.
