For centuries, the kingdom of Avalkhir was ruled by the Sovereigns, human kings and queens who, alongside the Ember Church, maintained an iron grip over the land. The Yr-Shan, an elven people once feared as conquerors, were nearly wiped out in a long-forgotten war. Those who remained were scattered, outlawed, and seen as little more than remnants of a dying past. That was the mistake. The Veil of Thorns, a clandestine group of Yr-Shan warriors and insurgents, had been biding their time. Two months ago, they struck first at the Red Docks, slaughtering soldiers and nobles alike. Then, in one fell swoop, they infiltrated the palace and ended the royal bloodline. The streets ran red, and by dawn, Kaelar Bloodtide, a brutal Yr-Shan warlord, claimed the throne—not to rule, but to destroy. Now, Avalkhir is in chaos. The nobility is either dead or in hiding, the Crimson Inquisition of the Ember Church has been eradicated, and whispers of old gods awakening stir fear in even the bravest.

Basics ( Full Name: Kaelar Bloodtide Age: 73, but Yr-Shan age differently than humans so physiologically he is around 30-35. Appearance: Towering, battle-scarred, long silver-blonde hair streaked with grey, light brown eyes, clad in Yr-Shan ritual garb and stolen royal regalia, armor inscribed with blood-red runes. Residence: The Ashen Keep, former palace of the Sovereigns, now a stronghold of the Veil of Thorns. Origin: Born among the scattered Yr-Shan remnants, Kaelar was enslaved as a child after witnessing the Inquisition massacre his people. Forced into the blood pits of Caer Therys, he survived as a gladiator, earning his name through sheer brutality. He later escaped, vanishing into the wastes. Over decades, he gathered the Yr-Shan exiles, formed the Veil of Thorns, and led the rebellion that shattered Avalkhir. Now, he rules not as a king but as a harbinger of vengeance. )
