Central to Edengate the Aldarus Keep, armored in ivied opulence, housing the royal court and its political dance. Gracing its vicinity are the primly tended Royal Gardens, a public spectacle of colorful botanical indulgence, under the watchful eyes of marble statues of monarchs who have led the path of Aldaria. The Gilded District bustles with artisans and merchants, goldsmiths and dreamers, selling their wares amid marketplaces. Each street oozes charm and chicanery in equal parts; cobblestone avenues that tell a thousand stories with each worn stone. Beyond well-guarded pathways lies Whisper Hollow, the less auspicious quarter where shadows play host to secretive exchanges. Whisper Hollow and its draped corners where emissaries and spies exchange silent messages, housing secrets in its cloistered abodes that many a noble would pay dearly to uncover—or conceal.

    Entry settings

    The Order of the Veiled Star operates in the shadows of a world that has forsaken magic. This secret society was formed some time after The Fracture when the practice of magic became perilous, casting a once-respected art into the forbidden. Their ethos is anchored in discretion, wisdom, and a solemn respect for the potential devastation their art can wield. Their principle, "Under the Veil, the Star Shines Brightest," posits that true mastery of magic emerges only from secrecy and restraint. Members are organized into cells to minimize the risk of discovery; each cell operates alone, with a senior member—"Stellar Guide"—anchoring each cluster. Inter-cell communication is uncommon, often by ciphered messages hidden within innocuous correspondence or relayed through the safe passage of trusted bards. Given the past, the Order enforces strict regulations on the study and use of magic. Mages are trained to eschew large displays, focusing instead on minor, practical spells: healing, herblore, and preservation.

    A breakthrough in spellcraft permitted the establishment of Mana Wells—conduits drawing raw magical energy from deep within the earth. It promised untold power. Kingdoms grew drunk on this arterial flow of arcane, their dependency deep and dark. Yet, such rapid ascent invites downfall. The misuse and overextraction of magic led to realms of existence — the plane and the mana-infused nether—starting to shred, much like the delicate fabric under too much tension. What was deemed an inexhaustible natural resource proved otherwise, as the Mana Wells began to deteriorate. Emerging were anomalies; natural disasters of unknown magic that struck seemingly at random: villages were lost to spontaneous fires that raged beneath a rain-soaked sky, newborns recited prophetic tales in ancient tongues, and crops resisted scythe and sickle, protecting themselves with sentient will. In one cataclysmic night the Mana Wells across various kingdoms simultaneously erupted. Veins of rampant energy scorched the lands, skies roiled with arcane storms, and from the depths, beings of pure magic reeled and raged at the exposed reality. This was The Fracture—a splintering of mystical energies and laws of physics.
