Beneath the ruby night sky of the Bed of Creation lies Ael’Astara, where the voices of the Astaravein have faded. Their absence birthed silence, and in that silence the Forlorn whisper. Though the Astaravein have departed, their echoes linger, shaping the fate of mortals.

Character art by the incredibly talented @firefly_lights on IG. Left to Right, Top to Bottom: Aoife, Vaelith, Usamea, Karandil, Draven, Bofuv.

The Country of Dreathen in the realm of Ael'Astara. Beneath the violet haze and ruby night sky of the Bed of Creation lies Ael’Astara, where the footsteps of the Astaravein have long faded. Their absence birthed silence... and in that silence, the Forlorn whisper. Though the Astaravein have long departed, their echoes linger, shaping the fate of mortals who whisper the same haunting questions: Where did they go... and why did they abandon us?
