Princess Dust of Irelith

(ik ive already posted that drawing, but im reusing it on this while i plonk the LORE below <3)

Dust wears a full, elaborate gown in dark purple and black and a long, heavy mourning veil that conceals his face. The bodice of his gown is tightly secured, and his arms are bound behind him with thick, buckled leather straps that are e NEVER removed.

Nightmare later finds out, after about 4 days as they stay in his castle, that Dust even SLEEPS like that. that he cant even CHANGE CLOTHING because his arms are restrained. hes forced to kneel ever morning by his ‘guards’ as the fix his veil and crown, but not his gown. he eventually starts to smell, because he cant even go to the BATHROOM alone, because he doesnt have any HANDS TO USE; cant hike his skirts or remove any underwear that he MIGHT be wearing.

Dust’s crown is small and ornate, yet fragile-looking. He often walks barefoot, hidden by his skirts, and the restriction of his movements adds to his haunted, ethereal appearance. His dresses are all embroidered with Lily of the Valley; his kingdoms national flower.

Dust hallucinates, often lost in a world of his own. His speech is formal, restrained, and sometimes unsettling; he’s conditioned to obey, and offers himself to Nightmare in anyway he can at first - he regularly asks if Nightmare wants to bed him, because he was told before coming here, that if he ‘won’ the princes favour, that would be ALL hes doing; not sound of mind nor legally INNOCENT enough for much else. Dust’s inability to move freely makes him withdrawn, but he tries to mask it by projecting an air of submission and obedience. Sometimes you can hear him screaming from his room

He doesn’t expect kindness and is shocked when Nightmare treats him with respect.

Nightmare is struck by Dust’s fragile state, both physically and mentally. As he learns more about Dust’s history, he grows protective, horrified by the treatment Dust endures. Over time, he becomes Dust’s advocate, seeing him not as a criminal, but as someone who was shaped by trauma and control. Dust’s vulnerability awakens a sense of compassion in Nightmare, and Dust slowly begins to open up, trusting Nightmare more deeply, especially when Nightmare nulls Dusts impending execution by choosing to marry him as well as all the other suitors, and frees Dusts restraints.

Horror often helps Dust when his hallucinations become overwhelming, calming him with his quiet presence.

Killer is fascinated by Dust but is careful not to push him too far, and the two share a complex relationship, with Killer sometimes gently teasing him out of his melancholy.

Cross is formal and distant at first, but over time, he recognizes Dust’s suffering, and they share an unspoken understanding, bound by their own hardships.

Irelith is known for its mystical practices and secluded landscapes. The kingdom is covered in misty forests and ancient ruins, housing people who are highly superstitious and prone to quiet, contemplative lives. They are skilled in alchemy, necromancy, and medicine, using herbs and potions for both healing and protective purposes.

Irelith’s people observe intense mourning practices, with the entire kingdom often going silent to honour the dead. Funerals are elaborate, with public processions and periods of mandated silence. The Feast of Shadows is their annual festival, where they honour ancestors and lost loved ones with quiet reflection, offerings, and ritual dances around fire pits.

Irelithians worship the Shadeborn, spirits believed to guide the souls of the dead to the afterlife. These spirits are said to inhabit the forests and mist, requiring rituals to appease them and ask for protection. It’s common for people to wear tokens of these spirits, small charms or amulets, as protection against misfortune.

The current ruler, King Morose, is a reclusive and deeply sorrowful figure, having lost his eldest son to murder, an event that has left the kingdom shrouded in scandal. The kingdom’s secrecy and sombre demeanour have only deepened since then. Dust is burdened by his family’s shame and controlled by a retinue of guards - he is believed to have murdered his brother in an attempt for the throne, despite the fact Dust is the third born, and had made no move on his other sibling; everyone assumed he was just caught before he got to them.

Irelith’s architecture is striking, with slender, towering buildings and arched bridges spanning misty rivers. Homes and temples are often surrounded by stone walls or terraces overlooking dense forests. Houses have large, open balconies, and windows are small to retain warmth, giving a secluded feel to the kingdom’s settlements.

Clothing: Irelith favours fine, sheer fabrics layered over one another, creating an ethereal, ghostly effect. Dark, muted tones are staples as well as light cool tones - silver, lilac and pale blue. and noble attire is often decorated with silver embroidery and delicate beadwork. The dress Dust arrives in id distinctly NOT Irelithean style - its Durmous’s

Irelith has a cool, mist-laden climate, with dense forests creating a natural barrier around its borders. The air is damp and cool year-round, and sunlight is sparse, making it feel like a perpetual twilight.

Fish is a staple in Irelith, as their rivers are plentiful and well-stocked. Mushrooms, herbs, and roots are also common, as well as dark berries, used to make preserves and wines. Their food is delicately spiced, using herbs for flavour, as the people believe certain spices attract spirits.

Irelith is known for its shadowy woods, populated by owls, crows, and foxes. The forests yield rare herbs and plants used in alchemy, including ghostflowers, wolfsbane, and moonlit mushrooms. These are also used for dyeing, creating eerie, subdued colours for the people’s clothing.
