THE FALLING OF THE VEIL
Application for Invitation

Dearest Emissaries,

The time has come. Your presence is hereby requested by the High Regents of the Starborn Realms.

As you are no doubt aware, the fae of the Realms were born when the heavens split, and a single celestial flame – The Starfallen – plummeted to the earth. From its fractured light rose five ever powerful fae Courts, each born of a shard of its brilliance, and bound to a different truth.

In the ages that followed, the Courts turned upon one another, waging wars to claim the remaining fragments of The Starfallen. Their magic tore rifts between the realms and left the mortal lands scorched by power never meant to be wielded.

In the ruins, the High Regents forged a fragile accord – the Starfallen Pact – swearing to seal each Court’s fragment of The Starfallen into a Veil to part the fae and mortal realms, protecting the mortal world and wielding their power in balance, not dominion.

Thus was the boundary between fae and mortal born.

Now, once each century, when the Veil descends closest to the mortal world, emissaries from every Court gather to renew that sacred vow – a promise written in light, tempered by shadow, and often broken by desire.

To which Court do the stars bind you?

Will you keep your vow… or will desire – for power, for glory, or for passion – pull you beyond the bounds of fate?

This Autumn, 2026, the Veil will once again descend upon Melbourne, summoning mortals and fae alike to a night of enchantment, ancient oaths, and glittering intrigue.

There will be music, fae bites, and whispers of quests from your High Regents themselves.

But keep your wits, dear Emissary – for behind every smile lies a secret, and the night is long.

We look forward to welcoming you to Chapter I: The Falling of the Veil – a night where realms converge, vows are tested, and you decide who you will become beneath the stars.

By decree of the Archivists, you are invited to set your name to record.

Complete the following submission to be considered by the High Regents for placement within a Court of the Realms – Shadow, Bloom, Pearl, Ember or Sky – should you be called to serve as an Emissary when the Veil falls.
