______
Long ago, before the world wore its name, there rose a time of gods bound in steel and mages who chained the sky. Cities floated. Suns were harvested. Souls were fuel.
And then, the Hollow Star came.
It did not speak.
It did not scream.
It simply devoured.
Not of flesh, but of truth. Not of land, but of time.
They say it came from beyond the veil of existence—an ancient echo of balance sent to end the world that had strayed too far. Some called it a weapon. Others, a curse. And in the end, when every skyship burned and the crystalline towers cracked like glass under pressure, it was gone.
But the world lived.
In its place, from the scorched leylines and broken machines, rose a new world—scarred, trembling, but alive.
Now, temples whisper of the Hollow Star as the "Final Reaper", the one who answered the world's call for salvation through erasure. But no name was ever given, only a title etched into ancient ruins:
"The Mercy of Oblivion."
Only one soul in Veltheria knows the truth.
------- was the Hollow Star.
______
Cult of the Hollow Mercy
Alias: The Pale Choir, The Circle of Silent Ash, The Final Witnesses
True Purpose: To honor and await the return of the Hollow Star, the divine arbiter who ended the First Age.
Beliefs:
The world must be periodically cleansed to preserve balance.
True salvation lies in silence, erasure, and renewal.
The Hollow Star was not destruction—it was mercy incarnate.
They believe the Final Reaper will return when the world begins to fracture again.
Practices:
Silent prayer circles around obsidian star-symbols.
Ritual "Unmarking" of names—symbolizing surrender of ego.
Keeping masks or veils to hide one's identity, as the Hollow Star had no face.
Releasing votive ash into leylines to mimic the devouring of energy.
Symbol:
A black, inverted star with a hollow core—representing both the void and divine mercy.
Structure:
Ashbearers: Priests who guide rituals and maintain records.
Echo-Bearers: Visionaries who claim to dream of the Hollow Star's return.
The Pale Seer: A veiled oracle who speaks only in riddles and sings ancient songs. Unknown even to her followers, she is partially Origin-touched.
Current Influence:
Whispers of them spread through the Hollow Verge and ruins of the old world.
Dismissed as fringe zealots by most.
Occasionally blamed for leyline corruption or disappearances—though proof is scarce.
Truth:
Unknowingly, they await ******. If they discovered her identity, they might treat her as a god—or try to sacrifice her to "complete the cycle."
