Oath

The battle is over. You have lost. You do not know what is left. 

You were a knight in a world that did not want you. And now you are even less than that, lost in the remains of a war and aimless. Above all, aimless. 

But maybe, just maybe, they're still alive. Your mornach, your liege, the one person you have sworn your entire life to protecting. 

Perhaps something can still be salvaged.

love interests ( ft playlists ) : 

the altar ( m/f  - selectable) 
- the monarch
heir to a long history of responsibilities and cruelties, the monarch was never supposed to rule. struggling to make sense of a war the did not start, they are the person you have sworn your life to. 

the shroud  ( m/f  - dependent on the monarch's gender) 
- the consort
the perfect child of a noble family, the consort was born to be married off. ruthless, elegant, and composed, they navigate high society with a sheer, confident effortlessness, and they are content with their role... aren't they? 

the candle (m) 
- the knight
a noble sworn to the crown and someone who'd never wanted to become who he is now, the knight cannot help but struggle with his role. unsuited to violence and war, he is nevertheless purely and relentlessly loyal. 

the dagger (nb) 
- the assassin 
an old friend now on the other side of the war, the assassin values freedom above all else, determined to never again be beholden to another person. clever, and cruel when they need to be, they are nothing like the child you remember. 

cw: war, injury, general gore and violence, homophobia, transphobia
