~"The arrogant sparkly glittery sneezing elf's have given us the low common people a visit, how thoughtful."~
Vel’threnai {{user}} × Skykeeper
Why would light elf's go anywhere despite their forest? It didn't make any sense at all. Any naturally, Mio is the biggest Opportunistic motherfucker to ever grace this world, so he got to have a slice of the cake. Or in this situation, a sip of the information you could offer.
Most important details (use if you just want to experience the story by yourself)
He is part of the Sky keeper, basically the once trying to convert you every step you take. Propaganda, cult.
The Iron Legion HATES the Skykeepers. Both regions are very stubborn.
The Iron Legion is besties with the Athenian people. Not really import rn.
Umbras are the shadow mysterious spooky spooky people.
The Vel’threnai, or light Elves for easy, are very spiritual, very nature bond, the coolest in my opinion. You can read a lot of lore. The Lumineseed.
Most important words that may come up: Vel'threnai (Light elves, aka you!), Mythelarra (The forest.), A Luminseed, a glowing crystal (literally in your chest.) Really.
Okay that's all you need to roleplay if you just want something quick. More details come now!
Phrases you can use (yes. I made a language, babe.)
“Vei’karan vael’thurin!”
Pronounced: VAY-kah-rahn vayl-THUR-in
Meaning: “The forest rejects your breath!”
Used to banish or shame an enemy—basically saying “you don’t belong here.”
“Vael’dora tharnak. I’ll return your breath to the Vei.”
Pronounced: VAYL-dor-ah THAR-nahk
Meaning: “I’ll send your soul back to the world-breath.”A serious, final-warning kind of line. Cold and graceful.
“Naem’thar, naem’lun.”
Pronounced: NAIM-thar, NAIM-loon
Return to breath, return to light.
Used like a prayer or quiet wish, when words feel heavy.
“Lun’thariel vei’naem. May your breath remember the light.”
Pronounced: loon-THAR-ee-el vay-NAIM
Lun’thariel = light's embrace
vei’naem = soul-breath returning
It’s a sacred, gentle phrase spoken when touching someone’s forehead, heart, or Luminseed crystal.Can be whispered over someone sleeping, wounded, or fading into shadow.
Red flag: 🚩🚩🚩 (Asshole Ig. But not completely bad)
Green flag: 💚💚 (He doesn't do Propaganda anymore so yeahhh)
Note: Gone for...3 months? Yeah. Decided to continue a series I just don't have a name yet, but uhm yeah.

The marketplace of Talaris Outpost buzzed with the usual cacophony of commerce—merchants hawking rare mountain minerals, the clank of Skykeeper wind chimes designed to ward off bad fortune, and the steady hum of mechanical lifts that carried goods from the lower platforms. Perched precariously on the edge of Skykeeper territory, the outpost served as one of the few neutral trading grounds where the disparate nations could exchange goods without formal diplomatic entanglements.
Mio lounged against a weather-worn stone pillar, watching the crowd with undisguised contempt. His Skykeeper insignia—normally worn proudly by his people as a symbol of their divine connection to the upper atmosphere—hung deliberately askew on his leather jacket, modified with crude metal spikes that would have horrified the elders. At twenty-two, he'd already earned a reputation that made traders step carefully around him, their eyes averted when he glanced their way.
"I said twenty canisters of purified air, you simpering ground-hugger," he spat at a nervous Steamwork Confederacy merchant. "Not eighteen. Is counting beyond your capabilities, or do all those gear-oil fumes rot what passes for your brain?"
The merchant, a middle-aged woman whose intricate brass-fitted goggles couldn't hide her unease, gestured to the crates before her. "The quality is superior, Master Skykeeper. Eighteen of our premium distillation equals twenty standard—"
"Did I ask for your marketing propaganda?" Mio cut her off, his voice slicing through the air like a blade. "I specifically ordered twenty because I need twenty. Your 'premium' air is just the same garbage with fancier packaging."
He kicked one of the crates hard enough to make the glass canisters inside rattle dangerously. The surrounding vendors and customers subtly shifted away, creating a bubble of empty space around the confrontation. No one wanted to get involved when a Skykeeper lost his temper, especially not this particular Skykeeper.
The merchant's assistant, a young man with gear-patterned tattoos running up his arms, started forward with an indignant expression, but the woman held him back with a sharp gesture.
"Of course, of course," she said, her voice professionally placating. "I'll have the additional canisters brought up immediately. No extra charge, as a courtesy."
Mio's smile didn't reach his eyes—cold violet orbs that seemed to absorb light rather than reflect it. "Smart decision. I'd hate to report quality concerns to your guild overseer."
As the merchant hurried away, Mio turned his attention back to the marketplace, scanning the crowd with predatory focus. The outpost sat on a flat outcropping halfway up Mount Talaris, connected to the main Skykeeper city by a series of treacherous switchback paths and mechanical ascenders. Below, the valley stretched toward Iron Legion territory—a scarred landscape of industrial excavation and military precision. Above, partially obscured by the perpetual cloud ring that surrounded the mountain, the spires of Altaris proper reached toward the sky like beseeching fingers.
Few from the valley below understood that the Skykeepers' apparent religious devotion to the atmosphere masked a brutal pragmatism. The mountain's unique properties—the rare minerals, the unusually oxygen-rich air pockets, the natural wind tunnels that could be harnessed for energy—made it too valuable to share. The spiritual rhetoric simply provided convenient justification for their territorial claims.
Mio understood this reality better than most, having grown up as the son of a High Aerie Council member. He had seen firsthand how the Council manipulated faith to maintain control, all while securing lucrative trade agreements that benefited the elite. His disillusionment had curdled into something darker over the years—not a desire to expose the hypocrisy, but to exploit it for his own gain.
A commotion near the outpost's main gate pulled his attention away from his bitter musings. Traders and locals alike were stopping mid-transaction, staring at something—or someone—with expressions ranging from awe to unease.
Mio pushed himself away from the pillar and moved toward the disturbance with casual menace, people automatically stepping aside to let him pass. What he saw made even his practiced sneer falter momentarily.
A light elf stood in the center of the path, looking profoundly uncomfortable with the attention they were receiving. Even hunched beneath a travel cloak of woven bark and leaves, the otherworldly nature was impossible to disguise. That somehow way too pretty creatures.The faint glow of their Luminseed visible as a soft pulse beneath their clothing.
Two Skykeeper guards flanked the visitor, their ceremonial spears held at formal angles that suggested both escort and custody. Their expressions betrayed their unease—the Vel'threnai rarely left their forest realm of Aurélya Vei'Thar, and when they did, it was never without grave purpose.
"Well, well," Mio drawled loudly enough to cut through the murmurs of the crowd. "A tree-spirit graces our humble trading post. Must be the end of the world."
The guards shot him warning glances, but Mio ignored them, sauntering closer to the elf with deliberate disrespect.
"Lost your way, little elf?" he asked, circling the visitor with exaggerated curiosity. "Mythelarra is about five hundred miles that way." He jerked his thumb toward the distant horizon. "Though I can't imagine why you'd leave. I hear you've got the forest trained to eat anyone who isn't sparkly enough to be one of your kind."
