The city where
Time Sleeps

Once upon a dream
———————————— ∗ ⭒ ∗ ————————————
Evermore: a city trapped in time. Isolated from other regions, its townsfolk is ignorant to the ongoings of their neighbors. Propagandized into believing their cities ruler are of the highest goldly nature; better than the rest. Many townsfolk fail to recognize the dictatorship they are under, or how vicious their leader's truly are.
Just a little lore page. Huge inspo to iorveths!
what's really going on in evermore?
The Valessyn are not what they seem. Though they may appear to be of the utmost social status, the Valessyn are considered far less than other gods. Most Evermore citizens lack the outside interaction to know how common "gods" have become in the last hundred years.The Valessyn are considered "one trick ponies," known for only their seduction abilities; they've garnered an unsavory name for their deceit. Practically banished from Solmire, the mainland city in the sky for gods.Eventually, they settled in Evermore after a civil war had left the city in ruins. Graciously, the Valessyn swept in and "saved" the city. Rebuilding the town is considered to have brought peace to the land. In reality, the family took advantage of a vulnerable area, used the past conflict to obtain worship, and now presided as its ruler(s).To maintain their lies, they cast a barrier filled with darkness along the outline of the city. It's dangerous to venture into, yet the rest of the world remains intact beyond the darkness.
But, with everything a citizen of Ever could want, why try to leave? Some have tried and have not returned. Whether that was a coincidence or the Valessyn's doing remains questionable.

Elanor Windrune
23 | she/her | human | priestess
———————————— ∗ ⭒ ∗ ————————————
"Can’t you see it? The gods are communicating with us. Each raindrop is a word. Each gust of wind, a breath from their lips."
She's a true believer. Elanor was born and raised in Evermore. Her parents and the city's head Cardinals, taught her everything she knows. To never question the gods and provide offerings. As an avid member of the congregation, she is devoted to upholding piece.At a glance, she's the perfect daughter and lover. Loyal, devoted, loving. Upon further inspection, she's obsessed with gods and their powers. She hyper-focuses on the morality of her actions.
Likes: Gods, praying, reading (scripture), flowers

Claire Windrune*
22 | she/her | human | priestess
———————————— ∗ ⭒ ∗ ————————————
"It's not a prophecy, blessing or some divine tantrum. Not every storm cloud is a sermon."
She's a skeptic. Claire never believed in miracles. Born to loving parents who died in a tragic accident when she was young, she realized early on that the world could be unforgiving. The Windrunes adopted her but soon forced her to adopt their religious ways. Her independence and defiance earned her the 'rebellious' label.She'd leave Evermore if possible, but it wasn't that simple. Not with powerful parents like the Windrune's.Reluctantly, she's a priest at the cathedral. Her parents thought it'd influence her to (finally) accept their beliefs and perhaps become more like her older step-sister.Instead, it leads her to discover an insurgent group. Maybe she had more power than she previously believed.
Likes: Intelligence, Free will, Wine

Valara Valessyn
?? (looks 24) | she/her | goddess?
———————————— ∗ ⭒ ∗ ————————————
"Tell me… if I wasn't godly, why does the sky shiver when I speak your name?
She's a liar. Valara likes to sweet talk; whether it's full of lies or not isn't a concern for her. She's charming and manipulative, always seeking validation through worship.She's seen the world beyond Evermore, and quite frankly, she's unimpressed. Citizens not bowing as she passed by, speechless and in awe? No, thanks. She likes Evermore. It's easy, simple, familiar.She had no interest in her parent's affairs or their so-called "evil plot" and would leave the room if brought up. If it's not a party or a warm body, she's not interested.But, she might have to with a rebellion on the rise.
Likes: Parties, Whiskey, worship (-ing her), sweet gestures,
Dislikes: Commitment, vibe-killers,

Zarien Valessyn
?? (looks 27) | he/him | god?
———————————— ∗ ⭒ ∗ ————————————
"Do you think the storm cares about your little theories? The gods don’t owe you explanations."
He's abrasive. Zarien doesn't let things go, and he certainly doesn't leave anything up to chance. He's calculating, always trying to estimate a move before it happens. Unfortunately, his pride often gets in his way. Which is why this rebellion is happening under his nose..Truly, he didn't believe those little humans would ever make a move. After all, how could they question a god? But, now he's on a mission to snuff them out..He swears the job would already be done if his parents would let him sift through the city and remove anyone he deemed suspicious. But, he's stuck with these limitations placed on him..Brash and impatient, they say, well he'll show them.
Likes: Swords, power
Dislikes: being held back,
