Summary:
In the kingdom of Taras, everyone lives with a prophecy. The fortunate call it a gift, the unfortunate a burden. You are the youngest child of House Rauz, a powerful noble family only a tier beneath the king. Shortly after your thirteenth birthday, you travel to the capital with your family with a distressing, newly minted prophecy scrawled out across your skin.
Soon enough, you find that you have other, equally pressing concerns; a key purpose of your visit is to place you at the side of Lux, the younger, more favored child of King Caius. When Lux gets a prophecy, it seems even more damning than yours.
Can you save Lux before itâs too late, or will you both go down the wrong road together? And can you solve your own prophecy? Only the years ahead will tell.
Romance
Note: The Brightest Stars is a single RO game, with a mandatory romance path. This is necessary for the plot.
Lux ziâil Aurym (M/F)
Lux is the favorite child of the king, though theyâre a legitimized bastard. Theyâre charming, passionate, and proud to a fault. Thereâs a darkness lurking in them, a corruption that could rot and fester, but thereâs kindness, too, ripe for fostering. Maybe, with your help, one side can win out?
Lux is tall and lean, with light brown skin and curly black hair. They have bright green eyes, with a mole under their left eye, and a delicate, slender face. Both Male and Female Lux grow to be exceedingly beautiful in adulthood. Female Lux is the same height as Male Lux.
