Silken Songs & Silver Thrones

Myrradell is an ancient, magically infused kingdom where humans and demi-humans coexist under a fragile truce. Magic is woven into its history, politics, and everyday life—ranging from the ritualistic to the wildly untamed.

The capital glimmers with elegance and secrecy, while the outer provinces harbor beasts, curses, and unrest. Magic breathes through the land—used by mages, warlocks, beast tamers, and nobles with arcane lineage. Creatures of myth roam beyond the palace walls, some hunted, others revered.

✦ The Late King Arthimus Vaelmyr
The former ruler of Myrradell and the architect of the fragile truce between humans and demi-humans. He ruled with strength and vision, but his favoritism—and ultimate silence—fractured his sons. Some say his death came too soon. Others say it was the consequence of secrets long buried.

✦ King Cassian Vaelmyr
A young, composed ruler who took the throne earlier than expected. Polished in public, conflicted in private. He carries the weight of the crown with a cold intensity and a mastery of magic few understand. Many doubt his experience. Thorian despises him—believing Cassian stole his rightful crown. Reneldh, while loyal in appearance, watches him closely, unsure if Cassian is leading the realm to greatness or ruin.

✦ Prince Reneldh Vaelmyr
The middle brother and current Crown Prince. Intelligent, quiet, and loyal—though his loyalty is strategic, not emotional. Reneldh sees Cassian as a necessary shield to protect the kingdom, but questions his detachment. He pities Thorian but also fears him, knowing that if he returns, it will be with fire and vengeance. Reneldh plays the long game, aligning himself where the wind might shift.

✦ Duke Thorian Vaelmyr
Once the favored son and expected heir, Thorian was exiled for practicing forbidden magic after a violent scandal shook the court. Now ruling the wild province of Rellvar, he is a looming shadow over the throne—charismatic, ruthless, and burning with resentment. He views Cassian as a coward who was handed the crown through tragedy, not strength. He sees Reneldh as a snake—silent, slithering, and waiting for the right moment. In Thorian’s eyes, the throne is still his, and he’ll scorch Myrradell to take it back.

✦ Intrigue, betrayal, and political games
The court whispers louder than swords clash—secrets are currency, and trust is rare.

✦ Romance
Forbidden love, slow burns, tension-filled enemies-to-lovers… nothing is simple when hearts and crowns are involved.

✦ Magic
Wild vs refined, forbidden vs sacred—magic in Myrradell is as political as it is powerful.

✦ Human & Demi-Human Coexistence
An uneasy alliance between bloodlines, constantly strained by prejudice and power.

✦ Mythical Beasts & Arcane Curses
Creatures bound by pact or fate, ancient curses awakening, and monsters who walk like men.

✦ Power in Softness, Danger in Beauty
Delicate smiles hide sharp knives. Nothing is what it seems beneath the silks.
