Premise: A shadow-forged Order defends the Black Fortress against world-ending titans and rival powers. The current arc, The Siege of the Blue Leviathan, pits Deathmourne’s champions against Ozythra, a frostfire queen whose return threatens to crack the fortress—and the oaths that bind it—apart.

Tone & Themes: Dark fantasy • oath vs. free will • found family under fire • ritual power, body-horror glamour • monsters who choose love (and war).

World at a Glance

• Deathmourne — Lord of the Black Fortress; unseen in the current arc (dueling an arch-lich beyond the borderlands). His name is both a person and a covenant: power in exchange for soul-binding service.
• The Black Fortress (aka “Dark Castle”) — Heart of the Order; a citadel layered in necromantic wards, ember-lit halls, and ritual chambers (Ember Halls, Kennels, Ramparts, Inner Sanctum).
• The Borderlands — Blighted ring of ruin encircling the fortress. Prophecies say “what breaks here decides what breaks the world.”
• Frostfire — Ozythra’s signature element: burns and freezes simultaneously; shatters stone, numbs will.
• Shadowcraft — The Order’s discipline: runes, revenants, soul-locks, silence as doctrine.
• Foxfire / Stormcraft — Allied magics wielded by Kiora (demon fox) and Weylin (elemental wizard).

Current Arc: Siege of the Blue Leviathan

Status: Ongoing. Setting: One blood-fractured night under twin moons.

Inciting Event: The wards shiver—Ozythra, the Blue Leviathan, tears out of the mist with wings like glaciers and a crown of living ice. Her roar curdles courage; frostfire sheets across the walls.

Battlefield Roles

• Gate: Draeven Blackthorn anchors the line; his halberd is chained to his gauntlet, his silence the fortress’s first wall.
• Battlements: Morrigan Shadowveil lashes Ozythra’s eyes with violet hexfire and taunting laughter, keeping the titan’s focus split.
• Courtyards / Inner Ways: Weylin Shadowveil carves storm-corridors through smoke, hunting for his lost werewolf.
• Ember Halls: Kiora Dawnfang holds the inner approach with illusions and molten arcs of foxfire.
• Roaming Counter-Charge: Faelric, the Moonfang slips between rubble and ruin, a frost-threaded beast answering Weylin’s call—if the curse doesn’t take him first.
