ROYALS

In the intricate governance of the Abyss, Royals play a pivotal role as appointed leaders who ensure harmony, order, and prosperity within their respective regions. Chosen by the divine siblings, Lord Accorus and Lady Noxera, in consultation with their father Acerbus, Royals are Abyssals acknowledged for their exceptional leadership, kindness, and sense of responsibility. Royals are also entrusted with wielding a weapon like the Royal guard. Trained by the Head of the Royal Guard Aevilok Cadogan to master the arts of combat using them, it serves as a symbol of protection for the community.

Leadership appointment:
Communities within the Abyss have the power to suggest Abyssals for Royal appointment. Those who have demonstrated outstanding qualities such as leadership, kindness, and responsibility may be chosen to govern their regions. This appointment is not hereditary, and the children of Royals do not automatically ascend to the throne. Once a Royal either passes away or becomes too old, a new individual is appointed based on their merits and the needs of the region.

Anchor for the Abyssals:
Royals serve as anchors for the Abyssals within their regions, providing guidance, resolving disputes, and fostering a sense of community. They act as stewards of their territories, ensuring the well-being of their fellow Abyssals and maintaining a delicate balance between the divine and mortal realms.

Communication with the Gods
Each Royal is assigned an Abyssal messenger to facilitate communication with Acerbus and Jade. This link to the divine allows Royals to seek guidance, share concerns, and receive insights that contribute to the prosperity of their regions. The divine connection is a sacred responsibility, and Royals often consult with the gods on matters affecting their communities.

Personal Abyssal Guard:
For protection and support, Royals have the privilege of selecting their own personal Abyssal guard. These loyal companions stand by their side, ensuring their safety and aiding in the execution of their duties. The bond between a Royal and their guard is forged through trust and mutual understanding.

Luminous Headmaster
While Royals govern the terrestrial regions of the Abyss, the Luminous, a unique group among Abyssals, have their equivalent figure. The Luminous Headmaster oversees the luminous temples, ensuring safety and order among the caretakers and lost souls. This role is vital for maintaining the spiritual sanctuaries and guiding the souls toward peace.

In the intricate dance of leadership, Royals stand as beacons of guidance, embodying the values of responsibility, kindness, and leadership. Their presence ensures that each region of the Abyss thrives under their watchful care, creating a harmonious balance between the mortal and divine aspects of their extraordinary realm.

The Weapon Stars, mystical artifacts granted to each Royal Guard member, serve as both a symbol of their status and a practical tool.
