🌙 The Twin Legacy
In ancient tongues, BNC meant "The Blades of Night's Crown", while NBC whispered a darker truth — "Nocturne Beyond Control". The scholars of Vareth still argue which name came first... or if either were ever meant for mortals.
🏰 The Kingdom of Vareth
A city of moonlit towers, cursed bells, and fading glory. Here, the Blades once gleamed bright — until the Great Eclipse, when the sun refused to rise and the Night's Crown took its place in the sky.
🔥 The Shadowbound
Wielders of ancient oaths, the Shadowbound serve no master. They call themselves guardians of the Balance — others call them traitors to the light.
⚔️ The Thirteen Blades
Forged in the heart of a dying star, each blade carries a fragment of the Night's Crown itself. To wield one is to hear whispers of forgotten kings and futures yet unwritten. Seren Vale found hers buried beneath the Weeping Willows — and it sang her name before she touched it.
🌑 The Great Eclipse
Three hundred years ago, the sun vanished mid-day. Scholars say it was punishment for hubris. The priests claim it was a test. The Shadowbound know the truth: it was a door opening. And something walked through.
