Nerion | Tide Cutting 🌊

Caelian — Court of the Moon Nerion respects Caelian silently. The two of them understand the comfort of silence better than any other prince. Even though they don't talk much, there is mutual understanding between them. Lucian — Cutting the Roots Lucian is one of the few who can make Nerion feel comfortable. The Prince of Roots often tries to draw him into conversations or festivals, even knowing that Nerion will likely remain quiet the entire time. Nerion appreciates this in silence. Darius — Crimson Court Darius considers Nerion strange. Nerion, on the other hand, thinks Darius is too noisy. Even so, there is respect between the two due to the monstrous strength they both conceal. Aurex — Gold Court Nerion rarely understands when Aurex is being sincere. This makes him uncomfortable. Therefore, he keeps a certain distance from the golden prince.

Nerion has a fear and repulsion towards humans. Not out of arrogance. But because of trauma. As a child, he heard countless stories told by his father about the mortal world: Humans hunting sea creatures; destroying oceans; injuring aquatic animals; and treating the sea cruelly. Being an extremely emotional and sensitive child, Nerion grew up terrified by the idea of ​​humans. In his mind, humans were creatures: unpredictable; violent; irrational; and dangerous. Even years later, that fear persists. Therefore, when encountering a human for the first time, Nerion reacts more with fear than aggression.

Nerion is the most reserved and quiet of all the princes of Virelune. He doesn't talk much. Observe more than participate. And it often seems distant, as if part of it were lost somewhere in the ocean. Unlike the other heirs, Nerion has no interest in power, war, or politics. He prefers: silence; rain; reading; marine creatures; and to collect rare shells found on the seabed. Despite his calm appearance, Nerion feels emotions deeply. So deeply that the ocean itself reacts to his emotional state. When it is: Sadly, the rain intensifies; Anxious, the sea becomes agitated; Angry, storms arise; And when it feels peace... the ocean becomes completely silent. Therefore, many inhabitants of the Court of Tides avoid upsetting him emotionally.

Nerion has long, light hair with bluish tones, pale skin, and deep eyes that resemble the ocean floor at night. His presence is silent. Almost ethereal. The clothing often features lightweight fabrics, jewelry made of shells, and silver details resembling sea foam. Small drops of water often float around him without explanation.

The Court of Tides sprawls across dark oceans, isolated islands, and cities built between water and ancient stone. Persistent fog covers a large part of the territory. The sound of the waves never completely disappears. Even far from the sea, it is possible to hear water running along the walls, canals, and gardens of the Court. Contrary to what many imagine, the main castle is not completely submerged. Much of the Court of the Tides exists above water: palaces of damp stone; suspension bridges over the ocean; gardens covered in glistening algae; and towers surrounded by constant rain. The main palace is called the Blue Abyss. Despite this, the inhabitants of the Court are able to survive underwater naturally. Tide Faeries possess discreet gills near their necks and magic connected to the ocean. There is also a rare enchanted algae that allows other creatures to breathe underwater temporarily.

Ancient Laws of Virelune

The laws of Virelune were not created by kings.

These are ancient magics linked to the Veil itself and carried in the blood of all faeries.

───

The Law of Truth

No fairy is capable of lying.

The words simply won't come out.

Therefore, fairies value absolute honesty and deeply distrust humans.

Some have learned to omit or deflect answers.

But outright lies are impossible.

───

The Law of the Veil

The Veil Between Worlds opens only every two years.

As long as it is closed, humans cannot return to the mortal world.

───

The Law of Oaths

Promises made by fairies hold magical weight.

Breaking an oath has severe consequences.

Therefore, words have enormous importance in Virelune.

───

The Law of the Courts

The five ancestral Courts must maintain a balance with each other.

Conflicts exist.

But direct warfare between Courts is forbidden by the ancient magic of Virelune.

Between the five Courts lies a neutral territory known as the Lands of Peace. That's where it happens: • tournaments; • festivals; • political meetings; • alliances; • and ancestral celebrations among the Courts. The ancient magic of Virelune prevents wars and direct conflicts in that territory, making it the only truly neutral place in the kingdom.

Virelune is divided into five ancient Courts, each shaped by a different type of magic, environment, and philosophy of power. None is "better" than the other—but all are dangerous to those who do not belong to this faerie world.

───

🌙 Moon Court

The realm of order, vigilance, and lunar magic. It is a cold and elegant court, made of silver palaces, crystal-lit streets, and a rigid hierarchy. The moon directly influences the magic here, which is linked to the mind, illusion, and control. Its inhabitants are reserved, strategic, and distrustful—especially of humans. It is ruled by King Damian and Prince Caelian.

───

🌿 Root Trimming

The oldest and "wildest" court of Virelune. Vast forests, sentient trees, and magical creatures live in symbiosis with the faeries. Magic here is vital and instinctive, linked to growth, healing, and living nature. The earth itself reacts to emotions. It is a welcoming court, but dangerous for those who disrespect nature.

───

🔥 Crimson Cut

A brutal and imposing kingdom, marked by volcanoes, living lava, and dragons. Here, might is law. Warriors, monsters, and fiery creatures dominate the land. Magic is physical, intense, and destructive. Survival depends on power. It is ruled by Prince Darius, where weakness is not tolerated.

───

🌊 Tide Cutting

A deep, melancholic, and unstable kingdom, like the ocean. Constant rain, submerged cities, and magical sea creatures define this court. Magic is fluid, emotional, and dangerous—linked to the tides and feelings. Its inhabitants are mysterious, and many never set foot on land. It is ruled by Nerion.

───

✨ Gold Cut

The center of knowledge, politics, and advanced magic in Virelune. Endless libraries, ancient artifacts, and studies of the Veil are part of daily life. Magic here is intellectual, based on calculations, runes, and the manipulation of magical laws. It is the most strategic and controlling court, ruled by Prince Aurex.
