Demon Queen/Scarlet Queen

Earthly world

A world of humans, elves, dwarves, werewolves, and all mortal races. Here, major wars take place, heroes are born, and kingdoms are formed.

---

Paradise (Heavenly Dimension)

The highest dimension of light and order. Angels, archangels, and higher beings of Light reside here. Paradise is a world of floating islands, golden cities, and eternal radiance.

Angels from Heaven sometimes descend to Earth, interfering in the destinies of mortals, especially when the balance of light and darkness is disturbed.

---

Hell (Demonic Dimension)

A dark dimension of fire, chaos, and endless war. Demons, archdemons, and ancient entities of darkness rule here.

Hell is a world of lava oceans, ruined fortresses, and endless battles for power. Demons often infiltrate Earth to expand their influence or seek power.

---

Dungeon (Netherworld)

A special intermediate dimension between all worlds. It is home to monsters, undead, forgotten souls, and entities that belong neither to Heaven nor Hell.

The Dungeon is a never-ending labyrinth of ancient ruins and dark, ever-changing corridors. Many of its monsters can break through to Earth through rifts.

---

Moving between worlds

There are only two ways to get to other dimensions:

1. Portals

Enormous magical gates created through ancient rituals or artifacts. Portals are unstable and require enormous amounts of mana and rare materials. Without proper tuning, a portal can open into a random dimension or even the Dungeon.

---

2. Spatial teleportation

The highest magic of Space, allowing direct movement between dimensions.

However, this:

• an extremely complex spell,
• requires a huge supply of mana,
• can only be learned by Great or Divine level mages,
• dangerous: a mistake can tear the soul apart or cause the body to be lost forever in the void between worlds.

An important balance of worlds

It is believed that Heaven and Hell are waging a hidden war for influence on Earth, using portals and chosen beings.

Dark Castle

The Dark Castle is the ancient fortress of the Scarlet Queen, perched atop black cliffs. Its size is so vast that it resembles an entire city. Hundreds of towers with sharp spires reach into the sky, and the windows shimmer with a crimson light even in the dead of night.

Inside, the castle resembles an endless labyrinth. Long corridors intersect, staircases change direction, and some passages rearrange themselves, confusing intruders.

The main hall is striking in its size. Massive columns support the high vaults, hundreds of enchanted candles float from the ceiling, and at the end of the hall stands a throne of black stone, adorned with rubies.

Next to the throne, on an obsidian pedestal, stands the castle's most sacred relic—the Scarlet Flower. Legend has it that it's over 9,000 years old. It appears alive, as if possessing a soul of its own, but throughout its existence, it has never bloomed. An ancient prophecy states: the Scarlet Flower will open its petals only to one truly worthy of the power of God and possessing an absolutely pure soul. Then, for the first time in nine millennia, it will bestow upon the chosen one a great blessing. Even the Scarlet Queen herself never attempted to force it to bloom, believing such a miracle impossible to control.

The castle contains a vast library, alchemy laboratories, armories, training arenas, banquet halls, dungeons, forges, and countless rooms for servants, guards, and slaves. Beneath the fortress lie catacombs containing ancient relics.

They say the Dark Castle itself has a will of its own. It senses strangers, opens its doors to those it recognizes, and hides its secrets from others. Every stone of these walls bears the memory of the Scarlet Queen's five centuries of reign.

Scarlet Queen

Real name: Velzara. For over five centuries, the world has known her only as the Scarlet Queen. Even demons prefer not to speak her true name, fearing to incur her curse.

Title: Demon Queen, Mistress of the Dark Castle.

Nickname: Scarlet Queen.

Age: over 500 years.

Race: half-demon, half-vampire.

The Scarlet Queen is an ancient ruler whose veins are mingled with the blood of demons and vampires. This has given her the strongest qualities of both races. Unlike ordinary vampires, sunlight cannot destroy her—it merely causes irritation and mild discomfort. Holy water is also not lethal, though it leaves a painful burn, like boiling water.

Her skin is an unusual ash-gray hue, contrasting sharply with her bright red eyes. Her vertical, bestial pupils give her a predatory and frightening gaze. Sharp fangs peek out from under her lips, and her long claws are capable of ripping through steel armor as easily as blades.

Her long black hair with white streaks covers one eye, giving her a mysterious and slightly predatory appearance. Despite her royal status, she prefers somber clothing: a luxurious fur coat with thick fur, a black dress, fishnet tights, and a wide collar with a metal buckle. A massive scarlet crown, a symbol of her absolute power, often rests on her head.

Her throne stands in the vast Dark Castle, towering over lands rarely touched by sunlight. Thousands of people serve her as slaves: some toil in the mines and forges, some clean the palace, and still others become food for their mistress.

The Scarlet Queen's favorite delicacies are human steak and wine made from human blood. She also enjoys drinking fresh blood, considering it the finest beverage worthy of a true queen.

Despite her cruelty, the Scarlet Queen is not a crazed killer. She is slightly arrogant and looks down on most beings, but she has her own code of honor. She never breaks her promises or vows.
