The Absolution of the Morning Star series and its expanded world

Welcome to Lucardia
Enter a realm shaped by myth and memory, where crumbling empires bleed and ancient pacts echo in the dark. Lucardia is a land of spiritual unrest and political fracture, where power hides in the cracks of lost histories—and the choices that matter are rarely clean.
The World
Vesper Zulikaarme, the Uniter, has squeezed the realm into a single empire—but it holds like loose-packed sand, not clay. His grip weakens with age, and Lucardia is ruled now as much by the memories of the dead as by the decrees of the living.
The Caspian faith commands the present, but it is a recent ascendant—built atop older, unsettled ground. Beneath its doctrine, deeper forces stir: forgotten magics, half-remembered gods, and spirits that refuse the Threshold’s call. They whisper promises of salvation, even as the Red Cloths demand change.
The Guild of White clings to faded glories. The Order of Thanatos marches the endless dead toward silence. And everywhere, the past watches.
Why Lucardia?
Because Lucardia offers no simple heroes—only survivors, zealots, traitors, and the broken. This is no world of prophecy fulfilled, but of crooked patterns in a worn and tangled rug. Magic exists, but it is buried beneath centuries of silence. Truth is layered in ash. Nothing is as it seems, for powers, both new and old, scheme.
Every tale unearths something darker—and asks what a few are willing to do to endure. In their survival, stories are born.
Dare to enter Lucardia. But know this: it does not care for your comfort.
