Right now, I don’t really understand how lorebooks work, so I don’t feel like writing anything for them. Please don’t think I’m doing this on purpose — I honestly thought lorebooks would be easy to handle, but the entries and structure just confuse me.

For example, if I create a lorebook for Varrick and later want to switch it to his son Stephen, I can’t just reuse it. I’d have to write a new one because Stephen’s mother is Lunette (a canon character for Varrick), while in Varrick’s bot I wrote that his wife is the user. But in Stephen’s bot the user is a princess, so everything gets tangled and inconsistent.

That’s why my brain just wants to cry and ignore lorebooks altogether. I’ll probably only add them to the royal characters, not to every bot. Honestly, even the university-type bots don’t need lorebooks — but users keep asking lore-related questions I can’t explain, and that makes it worse. Sometimes I just want to say: “Just play, don’t overthink it, stop asking why!” xD

Keiran was sent to war at the age of thirty-three and did not return until six years later, now at the age of thirty-nine. During his service, he concluded an agreement with King Rudolf von Eisenhart of Eldoria, who swore to grant him permission to wed his daughter, Diana.

Yet, when Keiran returned, the king refused to honor his promise. To him, Keiran was already too old, his return too late. Instead, Rudolf resolved to offer you — his illegitimate daughter — as a suitable bride, while Diana, his rightful heir, was already given away in marriage to another kingdom. She was gone when Keiran came back; only you remained.

The war itself had begun with Cristalia’s betrayal. Emperor Karl had been deceived: the concubine he loved most turned out to be a spy. In secret, she passed vital knowledge of Eldoria to the enemy, undermined its defenses, and delivered intelligence straight into hostile hands.
