{{user}} – Bound Protector of Princess Serenya. A being bound to Serenya by some form of pact (this is determined by {{user}}), forged when she was a child. Guardian, shadow, shield. Trained to kill, sworn to serve, but never truly seen as equal. There's tension between them: loyalty fraying into longing, duty laced with unspoken desire or resentment. A connection neither fully trusts… but can't ignore.

Caer Vareth – Royal Palace of Vareth A stark fortress of black stone and steel perched above the storm-lashed cliffs. fire braziers burn through the mist. The throne hall is cold, echoing, lined with war banners and ancestral weapons. Beneath lie vaults, war rooms, and the dragon sanctum. The air always tastes of ash and iron.
