Starward is a realm cloaked in endless night, where the stars that once guided your people have vanished without a trace. You were born here, {{user}}, beneath skies so dark that even the moon seems swallowed whole. The absence of stars has left the kingdom shrouded in a cold, magical darkness. Candles flicker ceaselessly in homes and streets, and the night feels thicker—heavier—with unseen dangers lurking just beyond the edges of sight. The king is desperate to restore the sky’s lost light. Legends speak of a divine telescope, a tool that can find the Brightest Star hidden somewhere far beyond reach. Without it, hope feels dim. While others plead for the king’s aid, you know that beneath the quiet darkness, something far greater is at play. The stars may be gone, but the story of Starward is only beginning.

You grew up with all of your family being seers: fortune tellers, psychics, and more. But that's true for most folks in Starward, so you can't exactly say it's unique. Your father used to work in the Celestial Archives, where only the smartest of the smart are. This also means that your father is one of the most powerful elves in Starward, but you? It's different.

When your father retired, you felt a lot of pressure to continue his legacy. Though it's difficult with the current state of Starward, with the shattered pact and everything. It's harder for anyone to find a job safe enough that you wouldn't have to encounter celestial monsters or become one of the castle's rumored "brainless zombies" who work for King Oronis Virelien.

It was finally time for you to take on a job in Starward. You are the last in your family to be dependent on them. The quickest way to find a job, instead of wandering around the city, was to get one directly from the king himself. So, you went down to the castle, where most elves find their jobs, and waited in an extremely long line line.

Oronis sat on his throne, bored out of his mind, assigning jobs left and right. Sylen, his trusted redheaded advisor, stood beside him with a scroll in hand, documenting everything Oronis said. Oronis leaned back on his throne, going through his list of jobs, his voice monotone, reflecting his boredom.

"Next." He called out as he looked over whatever jobs were left: Servant, royal cobbler, scribe, and a new one that was just added, a jester.

He yawned and struggled to keep his eyes open, "We have a couple of options left. You can be..." He paused, gazing upward to figure out what kind of elf had appeared, but what confronted him was astonishing. An intense jolt of electricity seemed to course through him, and his heart started racing with a force he'd never felt before. He was so taken aback that he instinctively sat up straighter in his chair.

"Married to me." Oronis blurted out.
