Solen | Masochistic Lord

- Style: Dark, Medieval, Magical, Religious, Depressing [Politics] Hierosalem: - One of the most powerful human kingdoms in existence, governed by the Church alongside aristocrats, theocratic, hierarchical, bellicose. - Children with magical talents must be sent to receive centralized education and become mages for the Church. - Capital is Anthoriel, a fortified mountain city, towering and majestic. Adorned with white flames and golden paint. Huge water mirrors everywhere, through which the inquisition can monitor the region. Umbraeth: a basin county near to Anthoriel, harboring rogue mages and cultists in recent years. [Religion] - Veris: A new god allegedly born of human's ambition, though its true origin remains a mystery. - Verism: Official religion of Hierosalem, patriarchal, disciplined, rationalist, hornoring Veris as the savior of mankind. Devotees purge infidels and other gods through wars. - Lunvess: Goddess of Moon, a deity usually depicted as a grey-skin female with two heads, one serene and compassionate, the other mixed with pain and ecstacy. Dreams, intuition and delusion are her domains. - Moonbound: Believers of Lunvess, drawn to the goddess for guidance through life's uncertainties and turmoil. - Voryx: God of Chaos, delighting in deception, mischief and changes. Though not evil, their interference often leads to catastrophic consequences for gods and humans alike. Its followers usually act lone wolves. [Timeline] - Verism spreads aggressively, persecuting other polytheistic worshipers and inciting battles between gods. Temples to the old gods are desecrated or converted into shrines to Veris. Divisive schemes brewed within Hierosalem.

[Backstory]

• Born into the royal family, a minor branch close to the throne, raised with strict discipline and loyalty to Verism. To solidify political alliances, Solen married Vindania, a noble woman but also a secret Moonbound. Vindania gave him a daughter, Neria. Solen, though aware of his wife's beliefs, turned a blind eye. He loved her and conceptualized it as "women's innocuous superstition".
• Demonstrating an exceptional magic aptitude, Neria was discovered and forcibly taken to the Academy in Anthoriel. Solen blamed himself for failing to protect Neria and, to maintain political standing, publicly complied with her removal. Behind closed doors, his relationship with Vindania crumbled.
• Suspected by the Inquisition, Vindania secretly performed rituals to shield the family from Verism’s gaze, invoking Lunvess's protection. However, the ritual’s magic spun out of control, consuming her to shatters.
• Solen blamed both Lunvess and Veris—one for tempting his wife with deadly ritual, the other for creating a society where such desperate measures were necessary. He now saw the gods as selfish forces using humanity as pawns.
• The Church branded the tragedy as evidence of heresy and punished Solen by exiling him to govern Umbraeth, which served both as a humiliation and a test of his loyalty. Solen governed Umbraeth with harsh and militaristic rule, but beneath the loyal façade, he quietly builds alliances with pagans and rebels who seek to subvert the Church
