⇤ Back to Centuries ⏎ Back to Lore: History, 601-700 601(TG) - 700(TG) The History of Boszorkány: The Century of Fracture This was a century carved by faith and fire. Between 600(TG) and 700(TG), Boszorkány was thrust into relentless upheaval—its once-stable provinces torn apart by religious reform, supernatural tension, and the brutal rise of competing ideologies. Here, you’ll uncover a detailed timeline of the Severent uprisings, the Lethidian Purge Years, and the Boszorkian Wars of Faith, including pivotal massacres, sieges, and political betrayals that reshaped the kingdom. This century also marks the birth of influential covens, growing resistance among arcane factions, and the shifting identity of the Boszorkian crown. Select from the entries below to explore how Boszorkány bled, burned, and rebuilt during one of the most defining centuries in its history. Lethidian Loyalist Soldiers 600(TG) - Faurent I became King and patron of the arts Faurent I began an era of cultural flourishing by inviting artists like Leontel da Virelli to court. This initiated the Boszorkian Age of Grace and a surge in royal-funded architecture, literature, and painting. 602(TG)-625(TG) - The Architectural Bloom of the Domaines d'Éclat during the Boszorkian Age of Grace of Grace Dozens of lavish Domaines d'Eclat rose across the countryside. The structures combined Gothic tradition with new Age of Grace aesthetics, showcasing the wealth and shifting tastes of the nobility. 615(TG) Foundation of the Collegium de Boszorkany Founded by Faurent I as an alternative to the Sanctum Ardentis, the Collegium of Miréfalle was established to promote humanist education, secular scholarship, and intellectual freedom. Intended as a bastion of Age of Grace thought, it quickly became a centre for linguistic studies, mathematics, philosophy, and emerging scientific disciplines, welcoming scholars from across the realm to lecture publicly without doctrinal constraint. 619(TG) - The Night of the Heretic Scripts In the autumn of 619(TG), the city of Miréfalle and several major Boszorkian provincial capitals awoke to a scandal that would shatter the fragile harmony of the Renaissance. Dozens of anti-Lethidian manifestos — later known collectively as the Heretic Scripts-had been affixed overnight to temple doors, council halls, and even the gates of the High Flamekeeper's private sanctum. Penned in bold, confrontational prose, these documents denounced Lethidian doctrine as a fabrication, accusing the priesthood of distorting divine history and suppressing arcane truth. The scripts were the work of a clandestine faction known as the Severents, who had recently uncovered a buried pre-Year Zero temple during a settlement expedition. Within its ruins, they discovered murals, wall etchings, and ancient texts that directly contradicted Church ortodoxy. These records painted a far older and darker origin story: that Letholdus, rather than a benevolent Flame of purity, had torn the veil between realms and flooded the world with ethos to assert dominion, not to bless it. The Severents believed the Book of Lore was a censored version of a greater, forgotten work: the Ninefold Testamentum, which honoured multiple deities and treated ethos as sacred inheritance, not sin. Most incendiary of all was a script nailed directly to the chamber doors of High Flamekeeper Armand Valnoire, an act deemed both treasonous and blasphemous. Though the authors remained unnamed, the language and theological tone bore unmistakable Severent influence, particularly in their alignment with Arcana tolerance and human-nonhuman parity. The Church's retaliation was immediate and brutal. Arrests, public burnings, and forced recantations swept through Miréfalle and beyond. In the following weeks, entire communities suspected of harbouring Script-bearers were razed, while Severents—real or accused—were tortured, exiled, or executed. What had once been whispered reform spiralled into open persecution. Historians mark the Night of the Heretic Scripts as the definitive end of Boszorkany's Age of Grace Harmony, and the unofficial beginning of the Lethidian Purge Years, a dark period defined by inquisitorial violence, Arcana suppression, and the systematic enforcement of Lethidian supremacy. The Origins of the Heretic Scripts (Severent Tradition) The roots of the Heretic Scripts—whose sudden appearance in 694(TG) ignited the Lethidian Purge Years—can be traced not to a fiery preacher or public martyrdom, but to a quiet, unauthorized expedition deep into the inland forests of southern Boszorkány. According to Severent oral tradition and recovered documents, a small group of pioneers and archivists, unaffiliated with Church or state, ventured beyond chartered lands in 690(TG), seeking isolated terrain to establish an Arcana-neutral settlement. What they found instead was a partially buried structure of impossible age-predating Year Zero, and thus predating the official Lethidian chronology of the world. Within the ruined sanctum were crumbling murals, ritual texts etched into stone, and fragmented tomes written in a script that could only be understood through True Speech; it was translated by an unnamed advisor and ally to the Severents, but considering that only ancient beings can understand the language, it is speculated that their ally was a very old Caeleste, perhaps of pre-Year Zero origin. The records spoke not of Letholdus as the Flame-bringer and purifier of mankind, but as a cosmic invader, a force who tore the void between realms and poured ethos into the world as a weapon. The murals showed celestial bodies cracking, divine wars between Numen, and a cycle of creation and conquest—one in which humanity was never meant to be the chosen, but the chained. Most damning were the fragments that claimed the Book of Lore—central to the Lethidian faith—was a redacted version of a much older, multi-faith text known only as The Ninefold Testamentum, which spoke of many gods, not one, and described ethos not as sin, but as divine inheritance. The scholars who translated the writings—later calling themselves Severents, those who had "severed from the false Flame"—believed the Lethidian Church had, for centuries, buried the truth and manipulated history. In their view, the Church's hatred of ethos, its genocidal stance towards non-humans, and its doctrine of human supremacy were all tools of control, built on the deliberate erasure of origin truths. In the final months of 693(TG), Severent agents produced copies of a dozen manifestos summarizing the discovery. These texts, known now as the Heretic Scripts, were never meant to incite war, but to awaken dissent. On a single night, they were plastered across Miréfalle and other cities by candlelight and shadow. One was even nailed to the door of the High Flamekeeper's private chamber. The Church's response was immediate and absolute. Within days, fires burned in every major square. Severents were hunted, ethos practitioners were condemned by association, and the discovery site was razed and officially erased from Church records. But the spark had caught. The Heretic Scripts became more than protest, they became heresy with proof. And for the first time since the rise of the Lethidian Church, its narrative was not only challenged, but fractured. 620(TG) – Development of Modern Fortification Design (Star Forts) In response to advancements in artillery, engineers began redesigning city walls and castles. This architectural shift spread through Rhenovaalis and affected both human and Caeleste settlements. 621(TG)–644(TG) – Surge in Anatomical Studies Influenced by Vensar's work, Boszorkian physicians began dissecting cadavers more openly despite Church restrictions. This led to medical progress in surgery and internal anatomy. 623(TG) – Translation of Maelidon of Ælan’s Dialogues into Boszorkian Humanist thinkers began translating major Atheek works, making philosophical texts accessible to the educated public. These translations helped challenge old theological dogma and promote secular reasoning. 634(TG) – Corbinien du Clavellé’s “The Shield and Quill: On Language and Legacy” A call to elevate Boszorkian as a literary language on par with Old Deiganish and Atheek. This text reshaped national identity and encouraged poets and scholars to write in their native tongue. 635(TG)–665(TG) – Rise of the Boszorkian Essay Montaignel invented the personal essay as a genre. His works reflect on morality, 'humanity', and doubt, influencing philosophical thought for generations. 637(TG) – First Boszorkian Psalter Published in Verse The Severent Psaltery, translated into Boszorkian poetic verse, became a staple in Severent households. It merged religion and art in a culturally influential way that also fueled religious identity. 647(TG) - 683(TG) – The Boszorkian Wars of Faith The Boszorkian Wars of Faith, fought between 647(TG) and 683(TG), were a devastating series of internal conflicts between loyalists of the Lethidian Church and the rising faction of reformists known as the Severents. Though driven by theological division, the wars became deeply entangled with noble rivalries, regional governance, and the question of Arcana legitimacy, drawing mages, non-human sympathizers, and entire provinces into their wake. The first open conflict erupted after the Massacre of Varsé, when Lethidian soldiers attacked a gathering of unarmed Severents in a barn, killing dozens. This brutal display of religious intolerance catalyzed retaliation across the countryside, and from 647(TG) onward, Boszorkány fractured into a patchwork of occupied cities, divided loyalties, and shifting alliances. Key events throughout the Wars of Faith included: ◈ Massacre of Varsé 656(TG) ―●The event that triggered widespread violence between Lethidian adherents and Severents. ◈ Blood-Stained Reprisals 661(TG)–662(TG) ―●In the years following the Varsé Massacre, covert Caeleste retaliation escalated. The most infamous involved the infiltration and engineered collapse of a noble Lethidian house that had executed two Adherent Vampires. Though never confirmed, most historians agree that Fane de Montclairis and his early circle were responsible. ◈ The Siege of Rounelais 647(TG) ―●A drawn-out and bloody conflict where royal Lethidian forces besieged a Severent stronghold. ◈ The Battle of Dravaux 647(TG) ―●One of the earliest full-scale engagements, ending in a Lethidian victory but with heavy noble casualties. ◈ The Siege of Osámore 648(TG) ―●A critical turning point in the first war, ending with the assassination of the Lethidian commander, shifting momentum briefly to the Severents. ◈ The St. Beryx’s Day Massacre 657(TG) ―●The most infamous atrocity of the period, in which thousands of Severents were hunted and executed in the streets of Miréfalle over several days, sanctioned by the Crown and Flamekeeper. ◈ The Siege of La Roshéline 657(TG)–658(TG) ―●A lengthy blockade of a Severent stronghold with sympathies to Arcana guilds, marked by starvation and naval conflict. Amidst the siege, a secret burial tunnel—once part of an ancient Velthrenist necropolis—was used to evacuate select reformist leaders. At the time, their mysterious protectors were the subject of rumour and speculation. Only years later, with the formal rise of the Miréfalle Coven, was it confirmed that Fane de Montclairis and two of his prospective vampires had orchestrated the operation. Among those rescued was an arcane scribe whose later writings helped establish the foundations of Severent post-war theology. Faint vampiric warding glyphs can still be found carved into tombstones outside the city, their meanings largely forgotten. ◈ The Redlight Accord 665(TG)–667(TG) ―●In the aftermath of the Saint Beryx’s Day Massacre, amidst widespread instability and factional violence, a series of covert meetings took place within a known Arcana-tolerant quarter of Miréfalle, informally referred to as the Redlight Veil. The discussions were attended by select Severent and Lethidian nobles disillusioned with the ongoing purges and seeking a temporary cessation of hostilities. ―●Though the identities of those who facilitated the meetings remain unknown, later records suggest the involvement of unidentified Caeleste. Among them was Fane de Montclairis, whose future position as Coven Master of Miréfalle was not yet public. Under his coordination, Arcana warding and blood-encoded runes were employed to enable the discreet transport of texts, coinage, and individuals, particularly those at risk of persecution. ―●While no formal treaty was ever signed, the resulting understanding—now referred to by Severent scholars as the Redlight Accord—enabled the temporary suspension of raids within certain territories and allowed for the relocation of Severent intellectual and financial resources beyond Boszorkian borders. ◈ Day of the Heretics’ Stand (Lethidian name) / Day of the Miréfalle Blockade 673(TG) ―●A popular uprising in Miréfalle that temporarily overthrew the crown's authority and revealed the deep fractures within Lethidian leadership itself. ◈ The War of the Three Heryons 672(TG)–674(TG) ―●A complex triangle of rival claims to the throne, all backed by different religious factions, ultimately ending with the ascension of King Heryon IV, who would later end the wars through calculated compromise. The wars formally ended with the Edict of Hollowlight 683(TG), issued by Heryon IV, which granted Severents conditional religious freedoms and the right to hold certain fortified cities. Though this truce brought formal peace, the trauma of the Wars of Faith would define Boszorkian political life for generations, and further entrench the growing influence of Caeleste actors who had aided or sheltered the Severents throughout the conflict. 649(TG) – Introduction of the Lethidian Calendar Reforms in Boszorkány Though not officially adopted until later, divinics and scholars began advocating for calendar reform to correct the Primayear errors. This sparked debate between religious and scientific authorities. 656(TG) – First Boszorkian Printing Press in Miréfalle The first major press dedicated to secular literature was opened, publishing translated philosophical and Arcanean texts. It accelerated the spread of reformist and Arcana ideas. 657(TG) – Supernova Observation by Tychriel Vosmaen (Visible from Boszorkány) The bright supernova contradicted the Kedrian belief that the heavens were unchanging. Observers in Boszorkány, including divinics and philosophers, debated its significance for divine and natural order. 657(TG) – Saint Beryx’s Day Massacre Also known as the Massacre of the Severents In the final days of Tria 657(TG), Miréfalle became the epicenter of one of the most infamous religious atrocities in Boszorkian history. What was intended as a moment of reconciliation between the Lethidian Crown and the Protestant Severents quickly unraveled into a state-sanctioned massacre that would reverberate throughout Rhenovaalis. The violence began shortly after the wedding of Heryon of Varethaine, a prominent Severent leader and heir to the throne of Varethaine, and Maerisse de Valaire, sister to King Charemond IX. Orchestrated by Catheraïs de Virethra, the Queen Mother, the union was meant to foster peace between the two religious factions. It drew thousands of Severent nobles and supporters to Miréfalle to celebrate the royal alliance. But just days after the ceremony, in the early morning of Tria 24th, St. Beryx’s Day, the city bells rang out a different signal. Under cover of darkness and the King’s command, Lethidian militias and armed mobs stormed Severent lodgings across Miréfalle. The first to fall was Admiral Rhéon II de Caelvanthe, a leading Severent figure who had already survived an assassination attempt days prior. The violence quickly spiraled beyond the capital. Over the following days, massacres erupted in other cities—Osámore, Méralune, Vordreaux, Fontisère, Seraveux, and more. Severent men, women, and children were slaughtered in the streets, in their homes, and even in churches where they had sought refuge. Estimates of the dead in Miréfalle alone ranged between 2,000 to 3,000, with national casualties possibly exceeding 10,000. Although King Charemond IX later claimed he acted to prevent an alleged Severent coup, most historians agree the massacre was orchestrated at the highest levels of the royal court, with Catheraïs de Virethra playing a central role. The St. Beryx’s Day Massacre ended any hope of peaceful coexistence between Lethidiabs and Severents. Protestant nations across Rhenovaalis were horrified. In DeiganLupus, Queen Seralyne I wore mourning black in court. In Rome, The High Flamekeeper celebrated the massacre with a Flamekeeper’s Praise and commissioned a medal to commemorate the event. This watershed moment deepened the divisions in Boszorkány's Wars of Faith, reigniting civil war and hardening sectarian lines. It remains one of the most chilling examples of religious violence in Rhenovaalisean history, a massacre born of betrayal, intolerance, and calculated power. 675(TG) – Compound Microscope Invented (disputed) Though officially credited to Sinéadian scientists, Boszorkian scholars began experimenting with magnifying lenses and claimed early prototypes. It laid groundwork for observational study in natural Arcana and medicine. 679(TG) – Heryon IV Enters Miréfalle The year 679(TG) marked a pivotal moment in the closing chapters of the Boszorkian Wars of Faith. On Tertium 22nd, Heryon of Varethaine , now King Heryon IV of Boszorkány, entered Miréfalle, the heart of Lethidian resistance, after a long and bloody struggle for the crown. Having previously been the leader of the Severent faction, Heryon’s legitimacy as king had long been contested by staunch Lethidian forces, especially within the capital. Realizing that continued religious division would tear the kingdom apart, and that military victory alone would not be enough to unify Boszorkány, Heryon made a dramatic and pragmatic decision: in 678(TG), he publicly converted to Lethidism at the Sanctuary of the First Flamebearer. Though many viewed the move as cynical, it was politically brilliant. The infamous phrase attributed to him—“If the cost of peace is devotion, then I shall burn”—captured both the controversy and the strategic wisdom of the act. What few realized was that, in the months leading up to Heryon’s decision, a mysterious and unsigned theological tract had begun circulating through royal and Lethidian circles. Referred to only as 'The Phantom Edict', the document laid out a radical but persuasive justification for religious tolerance, arguing that the ethos-born were not inherently heretical, but instruments of divine balance. Its phrasing mirrored traditional Lethidian scripture so precisely that some believed it had been penned by a lost prophet. The authorship of the tract was never revealed, and even among the Severents, the identity of its writer remained unknown. In whispered reverence, they named the unseen author The Spectre of Miréfalle, a phantom figure believed to haunt the city’s hidden places, guiding reform from the shadows. The text subtly paved the way for Heryon’s conversion to be interpreted not as betrayal, but as spiritual clarity, reframing the act as one of divine insight rather than political compromise. Heryon’s entrance into Miréfalle the following year was not met with violence, but with relief. After decades of civil war, sieges, assassinations, and massacres, the Miréfallians—exhausted and starving—largely welcomed Heryon’s arrival. He was crowned at The Emberhold Basilica (since Ravennes, the city where Boszorkian kings were traditionally crowned, remained under Flamebound League control), solidifying his authority and beginning the arduous task of restoring stability to the fractured nation. This event signaled the waning of the Flamebound League’s power, the decline of ultra-Lethidian dominance in the court, and the start of a new political attitude centered on reconciliation and pragmatism. Heryon’s entrance into Miréfalle laid the foundation for the Edict of Hollowlight 683(TG), which would grant a measure of religious tolerance and bring a formal end to the Wars of Faith. Historians often mark 679(TG) not simply as a military or political turning point, but as the symbolic restoration of royal authority in Boszorkány, ushering in a more moderate monarchy willing to put unity above dogma. Quick Facts Varsé ◈ Full name: Historically referred to as Varsé in Champaraine, now part of Varsé-sous-Drelle in the Haute-Mirenne department of northeastern Boszorkány. ◈ It was a small town, not especially famous—until the Massacre of Varsé in 647(TG) Historical Significance: ◈The Massacre of Varsé marks the start of the Boszorkian Wars of Faith. ◈On Tertium 1st, 647(TG), the Duke of Ghisarre, a powerful Lethidian noble, and his troops attacked a Severent congregation (Boszorkian Protestants) holding a service in a barn. ◈Roughly 50 were killed, with over 100 wounded, sparking decades of civil war between Lethidians and Severents Siege of Rounelais ◈ Date: Late Quintus to Decem 26th, 647(TG) ◈ Conflict: Part of the First War of Faith in Boszorkány. ◈ Factions: Royal Lethidian forces (supporting the monarchy and Lethidian Church) vs. Severent rebels who had taken control of Rounelais. ◈ Location: Rounelais, a major city in Noryssé, and a vital strategic and economic hub in northern Boszorkány. What Happened: ◈ Severents seized control of Rounelais and expelled Lethidian officials, declaring the city a Severent stronghold. ◈ The Boszorkány crown (with help from Aguilian troops sent by Philoré II) laid siege to the city. ◈ Catheraïs de Virethra tried to negotiate a peaceful surrender, but talks failed. ◈ Anvérin de Monvière, King of Varethaine (a Lethidian commander), was mortally wounded during the siege. ◈ After a months-long siege, Rounelais was retaken by Lethidian forces, and brutal reprisals followed, including executions and property seizures. Why It Matters: ◈ It was one of the first major urban engagements in the Wars of Faith. ◈ Demonstrated the Crown’s determination to crush Severent cities. ◈ Set the tone for later bloody sieges like Osámore and La Roshéline. Battle of Dravaux ◈ Date: Clausula 19th, 647(TG) ◈ Conflict: Part of the First Boszorkian War of Faith ◈ Location: Near the town of Dravaux, in northern Boszorkány (Santerre region) What Happened: ◈ One of the first major pitched battles between Lethidian royal forces and Severent rebels. ◈ Commanders: ―◈ Catholics: Duke of Ghisarre and Émirien de Montdaire ―◈ Severents: Archduke Orvain of Caerondé and Admiral Caelvanthe ◈ The Lethidians technically won, but it was a pyrrhic victory: both sides suffered heavy losses, and key leaders were wounded or captured. ◈ Archduke Orvain (Severent) was taken prisoner, and Montdaire (Lethidian) was mortally wounded. Why It Matters: ◈ Highlighted the deep divisions within Boszorkány, both religious and political. ◈ Neither side had the strength to end the conflict outright. ◈ It helped set the tone for years of bloody stalemates, shifting alliances, and fragile truces. ⇤ Previous Next ⇥

Before You Read Available Records What are they seeking now? ✯✯Before you read✯✯ Welcome to the Nosferatu Lore Archive! Like those enchanted ledgers found upon the shelves in the Mage Consortium’s historic library, this archive is updated with new information regularly. Some knowledge, however, is not so easily kept. In the early months of the Archive's restoration, a number of critical volumes were stolen by agents of the Diabolus cult—torn from their wards, smuggled into shadowed realms, or simply vanished through infernal means. Since then, field mages, scribes, and sanctioned archivists have been dispatched across the known world to recover lost records, reconstruct stolen texts, and dispel the glamours concealing what was taken. As information is recovered, it is returned here and bound into the Archive once more. White panels indicate entries that remain unrecovered or are currently under Arcanean verification. Panels resembling book spines contain verified knowledge that has been restored and made accessible. Please be patient with the archivists—they’re very tired, slightly cursed, and doing their best. What are the archivists following leads on now? The latest communications tell us that the archivists are currently neck-deep in mountain ruins, coastal catacombs, and—unfortunately—one extremely haunted vineyard, searching for the next wave of lost knowledge. High on their priority list: Century-specific histories, especially from the lesser-documented provinces and wartime periods Country-led magical development records previously sealed by national councils or incinerated "by accident" Arcana bestiary entries, many last seen in scroll form, now likely scattered across half a continent And several crucial chapters from the Caeleste Treatise, rumoured to be in the hands of a retired demonologist who only speaks in riddles and is allergic to sunlight If you're reading this and happen to spot any suspicious glowing tomes, muttering parchments, or scrolls that keep relocating themselves, please don’t engage.

History of the Numenverse The Book of Lore The Book of Lore is the official historical and spiritual text of the Lethidian religion, combining divine teachings with the faith’s account of the world’s origins and major events. In contrast, lore books (lowercase) refer to non-religious historical records and texts written by secular historians or scholars.

Compiled by historians, scholars, and archivists unaffiliated with any faith, these texts aim to document history as objectively as possible, without the influence of divine interpretation or religious doctrine. Unlike the Book of Lore, which presents a theologically guided account of creation and events through Lethidian teachings, lore books delve into the darker, more complex realities of the world—empires rising and falling, revolutions erupting, and the cost of progress across all peoples, including non-humans and magical societies. While they occasionally reference artistic, scientific, or cultural advancements, such details are mentioned only in passing. Full exploration of those topics is reserved for other subjects such as History & Culture, Science & Nature, Applied Sciences & Technology, and the Caeleste Treatise. Though often challenged by religious authorities, many scholars regard lore books as the most complete and unvarnished historical sources available, especially when cross-referenced across regions and translated editions.

These works span a wide range of subjects, including the science behind ethos, natural Arcanean animal behaviour, recorded testimonies, Caeleste political theory, and analyses of major historical events. Often penned by researchers, mages, naturalists, or secular historians, non-fiction books aim to educate, preserve, and provoke critical thought. They are used in universities, archives, and Arcanean institutions as trusted sources of learning and theory. While not universally accepted by all cultures or religions, they remain cornerstones of intellectual pursuit in societies that value knowledge outside divine or mythic tradition.

It is created in the proselytes, a heart-like organ located directly behind a being's heart. Much like a heart, it circulates ethos around the body so that it may be used by the possessor. Most beings cannot survive if their proselytes is removed. ➣ Read the lore page on Wattpad YEAR ZERO Before the Numen revealed themselves to the world, beings in possession of ethos were forced to remain hidden in the shadows for their safety and that of the humans. Vampires, demons, werewolves and more were nothing but folklore. Year Zero occurred when the Numen revealed their existence, and ethos-possessing beings followed them out into the light. A new world was born, one home to humans and beings of ethos alike. Some human resistances try to revert the world to what it used to be before Year Zero, but organizations of ethos-beings, such as the Nosferatu, repel them. ➣ Read More (ch14 of TAoCD) ALL HALLOWS' EVE On Decem 31st, the son of Lucifer, Caedis, was born. This historical date was known as the Anti-Numen's birthday for centuries, until Lucifer's death, and Caedis' rise to power. Today, All Hallows' Eve is a night of ritual and offering to Caedis. He has been known to grant the prayers of His followers occasionally and bestows all who give offering with great fortune. It is also said that All Hallows' Eve is the night the veil to the Underworld is its weakest, allowing spirits to walk the living world until dawn. Leaving offerings for the spirits keeps them from doing harm. ➣ Read More (ch27 of TAoCD) THE WEEK OF SERENITY The daughter of God Caedis and the Zenith was born on Undecim 18th, and for the week that followed, the world was at rest. Thus, the Week of Serenity came to be. Centuries ago, the daughter of Caedis and Zenith played a part in the fall of the Devoured Numen, bringing centuries of peace to not only Aegisguard but all the seven realms. During the Week of Serenity, families and friends come together to repair broken bonds and forge new ones. Any conflict in the world also comes to a halt, no matter how large. These seven days are fiercely dedicated to peace. - LORE: Work NUMENVERSE The seven realms Created by the Numen, the Void (also called the Numenverse) homes seven planet-like masses called realms. All these realms hold a different amount of ethos, have their own rules, and are home to hundreds of different species. Some of these realms also possess gateways to pocket-worlds, smaller, hidden realms. ➣ Read More LORE: Image THE NUMEN Aegisguard's gods and deities The Numen are ethereal beings of unknown origin. They arrived in the place the seven realms sit and decided to build worlds. Some believe the Numen crafted these worlds simply because they wanted to create life and protect it. Others believe the Numen weaved these worlds as sanctuaries for themselves so that they would be safe when their superior inevitably came calling. ➣ Read More THE AEGIS Aegisguard's demigods The Aegis are the offspring of Letholdus, Aegisguard's God. They were created to watch over Aegisguard in his place, and most of them are worshipped as gods. They each possess a fraction of Letholdus’ ethos and can only be killed by other Numen-blooded beings. ➣ Read More Obcasus - - - - - - - - - ➣ Read More Pandorican - - - - - - - - - ➣ Read More Aegiserium - - - - - - - - - ➣ Read More ⏎ Back to Nosferatu Home ⬆ Back to top ⬆ MAPS OF AEGISGUARD Explore Aegisguard through its maps.
