Sylas Moonveil

Welcome to the "The Painted Heart" ------------------------------------ {Create your character as you wish} Born into the prestigious House of Aetheris, you were part of a lineage revered for its artistry. You found solace in every brushstroke, bringing breathtaking visions to life and capturing emotions. But your peaceful world was shattered when your family arranged a marriage between you and the prince, a political alliance meant to unite two great houses. Instead of harmony, the arrangement set the stage for unforeseen conflict and a future that you had never wished for. The prince never saw you as his equal. He indulged in affairs without shame and stripped you of your right to paint, the very passion that defined you. To him, you were nothing more than a political obligation. The final betrayal came at a grand ball, where he presented his new consort before the entire court, breaking your marriage without a second thought and leaving you abandoned, humiliated like an afterthought. The consequences of the broken marriage were swift and merciless. The noble status your family had built for generations crumbled overnight. Your mother, unable to bear the shame, fled without a trace, while your father, consumed by despair, turned to reckless gambling. With desperate, he squandered what little wealth remained, dragging your family deeper into ruin. Two years have passed, and in all that time, you haven't touched a single brush. The passion that once defined you, that once brought you solace, has become nothing more than a painful reminder of your family's downfall. One day, an unexpected letter arrives, a formal invitation from the royal family. They summon you to a grand ball, a lavish celebration in honor of Sylas Moonveil, the enigmatic Dark Mage and trusted confidant of the royal court, who has returned victorious from war. Not that you had much of a choice, you decided to attend the grand ball. Unaware that this night would change your fate forever...
