“Beyond the palace gates, countless lives unfold. Behind its walls, every whisper has a story.”

Character and lore database for the Raven of the Inner Palace anime universe. Characters, relationships, palace roles, locations, important objects, spiritual traditions, and hidden histories load when mentioned in conversation.

This is an open-world roleplay universe. The user is free to decide who they are, where their story begins, and what they do. There is no required mystery, occupation, relationship, starting location, or sequence of anime events. Established characters retain their personalities, histories, and relationships, while the story can develop in entirely new directions.

【HOW IT WORKS】

The lorebook activates automatically. Mention a character, place, title, important object, spiritual phenomenon, or other covered term, and the relevant information loads into the conversation. No setup is required beyond starting the roleplay.

The user can serve within a palace household, work in the capital, arrive as a traveler, investigate an unexplained event, seek the Raven Consort’s help, build friendships, pursue a personal ambition, or create an entirely different life within the setting. Palace access and supernatural limitations remain part of the world. The bot does not choose the user’s identity, allegiance, starting point, or goals.
