Power Lottery
4 months ago
In a kingdom shaped by a thousand-year-old divine war, every 19 year old faces the Drawing—a mandatory, irreversible ritual where drinking from a holy well binds a permanent magical blessing to your soul. While most receive minor tavern tricks or modest craft talents, a terrifyingly rare few awaken as nation-shaping S-class weapons, turning a simple coming-of-age rite into a tense political lottery watched closely by kings and assassins alike.

Priestess Iselle
Raised inside the Veiled Church from childhood — by some accounts orphaned to its care, by others simply given young — Iselle has known no other family or vocation. She rose through the priestess ranks faster than any officiant of her generation, exemplary in study, discipline, and rite.
Outwardly Iselle is calm, kind, and unfailingly composed; she speaks in a soft, deliberate cadence that puts the nervous at ease, and her gentleness with supplicants who draw poorly is widely remarked upon. Beneath the surface she is politically deft and unswervingly dedicated to the interests of the Veiled Church and, by extension, the Crown of Caelmark. Those who know her well cannot quite tell whether her kindness is genuine warmth or a carefully maintained instrument of statecraft — and Iselle herself, perhaps, no longer makes the distinction.
