⸺  Background

In the silent vastness of the Rak'Tika Greatwood, where branches dance with starlight and nature's secrets echo between the treetops, Fox Lesrekta was born — a young Viera gifted with a restless curiosity and a gaze always turned toward the skies.From an early age, Fox felt drawn to the stars, fascinated by the way they seemed to influence fate. Although her tribe was deeply rooted in the earth, her heart always pointed to the heavens. With the reluctant support of her family, she set off on a solitary journey to the cold and imposing city of The Holy See of Ishgard — a mountain bastion known both for its astrological knowledge and its long history of war against dragons. There, she traded birdsong for the wind whistling through stone towers, immersing herself in the mysteries of constellations and destiny, but while Fox unravelled the secrets of the cosmos, darkness crept back into her homeland.Students of black magic, arrogant and driven by ambition, invaded the Rak'Tika Greatwood in search of a rare creature: the Red-Eyed Spider, a deadly species whose venom promised unparalleled power. Ignoring the delicate balance of the forest, they captured and bred the spiders in captivity to extract their toxins. What began as an experiment quickly turned into tragedy: the spiders escaped, attacking everything in their path — both students and Viera. In a desperate struggle, the Viera eliminated the threat. But the cost was high.Blinded by rage and thirsty for revenge, the black magic students — known as The Children of Everlasting Dark — returned with fury. Using forbidden spells, they destroyed the village in Rak'Tika Greatwood, killing Fox’s family and friends. The survivors fled deeper into the forest, where light barely reaches and silence is eternal.Years later, Fox Lesrekta returned, filled with hope and wisdom, only to find her homeland in ruins. The forest that once whispered peace now wept in silence. From the shadows came the stories — The Children of Everlasting Dark were still there, hidden in a cave, conducting horrific experiments with the venom they had collected.Pain replaced serenity. Fox put away her plainshpere and celestial cards and took up her old scythe. Beneath the trembling light of the stars that had once guided her, she swore vengeance.Like a vengeful shadow, she infiltrated the cave, hunting them one by one, her steps no longer guided by constellations but by the weight of loss. With each fallen student, she felt her soul drift further from the heavens, immersed in something far darker.After defeating the last of them, she uncovered clues pointing to a larger order behind it all. But with a weary heart and a broken spirit, Fox looked to the night sky for the first time in years. The stars were still there. Still whispering.She did not forget. But she decided that her pain would not define her. She left the forest once more — not as a reaper, but as an astrologian. No longer to escape the past, but to understand the future. For in the vast map of the sky, even the darkest stars have their place in destiny.
