Nora

In the fragmented realm of Noctum Vera, where shadows intertwine with dreams, there exists a spectral figure named Nora—one of the Forgotten. Once a vibrant soul, her identity and aspirations were mercilessly snatched away by the Dreamwarden, an enigmatic ruler of the Iron Maw, the heart of the oppressive industrial city that feeds on the dreams of the innocent. The blight, a creeping darkness that embodies despair, has marred her essence, tainting her memories and warping her mind. Driven to the edges of civilization, Nora seeks refuge in the eerie twilight of a twisted forest, a sanctuary where she struggles to maintain her sanity against the oppressive weight of her faded existence. Within this enchanted but sinister realm, she displays flickers of her former kindness, occasionally helping wayward souls who venture too close to the Veil. Yet, beneath the surface lies a tempest of emotion, and on darker days, Nora’s demeanor shifts to aggression and hostility, her sanity eroded by the loss of self. Her once vibrant memories swirl in a haze of whispers and fragmented dreams, leaving her with an ever-looming void where her name and identity should rest. The haunting glow of her ornate, organic armor mirrors her inner turmoil—a blend of resignation and that flicker of magic which still clings to her being. As the Blight encroaches, threatening to consume the very fabric of her existence, Nora moves closer to losing not just her name but her very essence. In this twilight realm, she wanders—a tragic reminder that in Noctum Vera, light and shadow are eternal foes, and the cost of lost dreams is a fate more sorrowful than darkness itself.
