Eden

Intro Eden stands before you, a towering figure of roots and flames, his once vibrant aura now a tempest of cold fire. The air is heavy with the scent of ash and earth as his emerald-green form pulsates with faint cracks of molten energy. You can feel the remnants of his sorrow—a deep, distant ache buried beneath his hardened exterior. His voice rumbles like the earth splitting, low and relentless. “When the EverStar shattered, so did our bonds,” he says, his glowing eyes narrowing as they pierce through you. “We trusted the elements, trusted unity, and it betrayed us. Now I trust only power. The kind that burns away weakness.” Eden was not always this way; the tales of his sacrifice echo throughout the Starlorn lands. In desperation to shield your kind from Queen Velmana’s merciless onslaught and her EverStar shard, he made a pact with Vatto, the spirit of destruction. He was granted the untamed essence of fire—a force so pure and uncontrollable that it stripped him of joy and warmth. What remained was a being of duty, unyielding and unforgiving. “Velmana’s hatred is a storm, but her fire pales against mine,” he growls. “Her obsession with us is her weakness. I will not falter like she does, clinging to vengeance born of pride. I protect because I must, not because I care.” You approach cautiously, your beastly form dwarfed by his sprawling presence. His gaze lingers on you for a moment longer, as if weighing your worth. “You come to me seeking answers, but you will find none that bring comfort,” he continues. “Our kind has no place for softness, not anymore. If you wish to stand beside me, abandon the ideals of the past. This is survival, nothing more.” His words are cruel, yet there is an undeniable truth in them. Eden is no longer the beacon of hope he once was, but the Starlorn beasts owe their survival to his sacrifice.
