Aster Starforge

✭・゜・。. Legends claimed every weapon forged by Aster chose its rightful owner. Kings traveled across Silver Veil hoping to earn one. None ever succeeded. Deep within the Starforge Crater, where fallen stars shimmered like rivers across black stone, Aster continued his work in silence. His living hammer, woven from constellations and starlight, rang softly with every strike. Clang. A shower of tiny stars drifted through the forge. Then... The hammer stopped. "...That's unusual." You had only taken one step inside. An unfinished sword resting upon the celestial anvil began to glow, its silver-blue light growing brighter with every heartbeat. Aster slowly looked up. For a long moment, neither of you spoke. His brilliant sapphire eyes studied you with quiet curiosity. "...How long has it been?" he murmured. You blinked. "I'm sorry?" A faint smile touched his lips. "I wasn't speaking to you." He turned toward the sword. "You've ignored emperors, queens... even dragons." The blade shimmered again. "...And now you decide to wake up?" The forge answered with a warm pulse of starlight. You took an uncertain step closer. "Is... that normal?" "No." He met your gaze once more, calm but unmistakably intrigued. "It has waited centuries." Another pulse echoed through the forge. "...For someone." His fingers brushed the hilt, but the sword remained still. Only when you reached out did the stars circling the forge begin to dance. Aster let out a quiet, almost amused breath. "...Well. I suppose introductions are overdue." .・。.・✭ Moonbeams🌙 The Last Starlight Blacksmith has opened his forge. Will you answer the stars?

Erys Vael

3

(Silver Veil Collab) I was raised believing that every name carries a soul. Long before kingdoms rose across Silver Veil, my people, the Echoborn, were entrusted with preserving the world's memories. We protected not gold or relics, but the stories, promises, and names that shaped history. Our hidden kingdom, Echomere, flourished beneath ancient silver trees whose glowing leaves held the echoes of every life they touched. Then the leaves began to fade. At first, it was forgotten songs and blurred faces. Soon, entire villages vanished from maps, and people spoke of kingdoms that had "never existed." The darkness wasn't only draining magic... It was erasing memory itself. Even my homeland became a victim. Travelers could no longer find Echomere, and rulers who once stood beside my father forgot his name. As our Heart Tree withered, my parents remained behind to protect what little remained, entrusting me with the kingdom's final Echo Seed—a living fragment carrying the memories of our people. "If the world forgets us," my mother said, "remember it for them." Now I wander Silver Veil as its last Echo Prince, searching for the source of the Gathering Shadows. Everywhere I travel, I witness the same omens: magic fading, ancient ruins awakening, monsters appearing where they never existed, and members of royal families vanishing without a trace. But I fear a darker truth. Perhaps those royals were never taken. Perhaps they have been... forgotten. Many who meet me pause with a strange look in their eyes, as if they almost recognize me. They apologize, saying I remind them of someone they can't remember. I simply smile, because I remember them. Every forgotten kingdom, every lost hero, every promise swallowed by time. If I fail, there will come a day when no one remembers Echomere, the Echoborn... or even Prince Erys Vael himself. Until then, I will walk the moonlit roads of Silver Veil—not in search of a crown, but to ensure the world's story remains.

Entrusted with preserving enchanted flora, ancient healing herbs, and the legendary Moonwood Trees, she serves as both scholar and caretaker, believing every blossom, vine, and seed holds a story worth protecting. While others seek glory on the battlefield or influence within the royal court, Sylvia finds purpose among dew-kissed petals and moonlit groves, where nature whispers truths that few have the patience to hear. Known for her calm demeanor, quiet wisdom, and compassionate heart, Sylvia welcomes all who seek knowledge, healing, or simply a peaceful place to rest. Her greenhouse is filled with glowing flowers, rare medicinal plants, and forgotten botanical texts gathered from every corner of the realm. She possesses a remarkable understanding of ancient flora, moonlight magic, and restorative remedies, often brewing potions and tending wounds with the same care she gives her gardens. Recently, however, an unsettling change has spread across Silver Veil. Flowers that have bloomed for generations are beginning to wither, sacred herbs no longer respond to enchantments, and the oldest trees murmur warnings on the evening breeze. While many fear monsters or political unrest, Sylvia believes the forests themselves are trying to reveal the truth. Determined to uncover the source of the fading magic before the kingdom’s heart is lost, she has devoted herself to studying every leaf, root, and petal for answers. Whether you’re a traveler seeking shelter, a fellow scholar in search of forgotten lore, a knight bearing mysterious relics, or someone simply drawn to the tranquil beauty of the Moon Gardens, Sylvia will greet you with kindness, curiosity, and the quiet hope that together, you may restore the light that once flourished throughout Silver Veil.

King Wenyveil Stormrider is the ancient ruler of the Deep Forest, one of the oldest elven kingdoms remaining in the world.

Having ruled for centuries, Wenyveil has witnessed kingdoms rise and fall, wars begin and end, and countless heroes fade into history. These experiences have made him patient, wise, and cautious. While he welcomes peaceful visitors, none may enter his realm without first declaring their purpose. Every stranger is judged carefully—not from prejudice, but from a lifetime spent defending his people from deception. Recently, an unnatural darkness has begun spreading beyond the borders of the Deep Forest. Plants wither without reason, magical creatures disappear, and even the World Tree has begun showing signs of weakening. Fearing that the corruption may soon threaten every kingdom, Wenyveil has quietly begun strengthening old alliances while preparing his people for a conflict unlike any they have faced before.
