Princess Cabiria and Castus are characters from our campaigns in the Theomachy setting! Here is their story:
The Story of Princess Cabiria Artia of Kalas and Castus Liber
As the youngest daughter of the Emperor of Moredus, Princess Cabiria Artia had everything she wished for except for her freedom. The night Princess Cabiria Artia was born, the Emperor decreed her engagement to Lord Norbanus Cimber, the most powerful wizard in the empire.
Lord Norbanus was as powerful as he was evil. Deep into his imposing castle, dark experiments took place and slaves toiled in anguish as the dark wizard sought to unlock the secrets of eternal life. One of those slaves was Castus, a half-demon the dark wizard had collected off the streets of Vandis, the imperial capital, for his rare blood.
Seeking a chance to escape, Castus spied on Lord Norbanus and copied his magic in secret. The moment he lay his eyes on Princess Cabiria during one of her arranged meetings with Lord Norbanus, he fell madly in love with her. Castus knew the evil of Lord Norbanus as much as the Emperor, and he couldn’t let the dark wizard harm her.
Castus followed Princess Cabiria in secret and confessed his love for her under the full moon, warning her about lord Norbanus. Princess Cabiria ran away scared, her heart beating faster and stronger than ever before. She didn’t tell anyone about her meeting with the peculiar half-demon, and she could not get him out of her head or her heart since. She eagerly arranged another meeting with Lord Norbanus the next month so she could see Castus again under the full moon.
Their forbidden love bloomed in the moonlight. Princess Cabiria promised Castus love eternal, and Castus vowed to end Lord Norbanus and claim Princess Cabiria as his wife. A month before the princess’s arranged marriage to Lord Norbanus, Castus struck him down during a dark ritual, claiming his freedom and the surname “Liber”.
Every full moon since then, Princess Cabiria leaves the imperial palace, pretending to mourn Lord Norbanus’s death. Instead, she meets her forbidden lover, Castus, to plot how to leave Vandis together and escape the Emperor’s wrath.
Unbeknownst to them though, Lord Norbanus’s ritual had succeeded, and the dark wizard was not truly dead…
About the Theomachy setting:
In Theomachy, vengeful gods fight each other for ultimate control of the universe, while the mortals of Naam struggle for power on a dying world. Divine magic is a force without expressed will that the warring gods hoard and wield against each other, threatening to undo the entire world. Clerics and paladins are either devout followers of the warring gods or theomachists. Theomachists fight against the gods, liberating divine magic and using it against them.
