The bright light burning off of the High-Warlock refracts in Limehold’s atmosphere, setting a calming orange light on the bronze city below. Gears and oversized exhaust pipes expel hordes of steam and smoke as millions of craftsmen smith away below. Being the first civilization to gain the power of the High-Warlock, Limehold unified under a single nation and formed a planet-wide inventor city. |

The grassy paradise of Limehold birthed a species of intelligent life who would later call themselves the Travi. These incredibly curious organisms technologically progressed rapidly, even managing to make it to their closest satellite, Limechild. As curiosity and exploratory drive grew, the Travi began to wonder what gave them light. Their wonder-filled attention continued to bloom as a plan to venture out to their source of heat and light was written. The previously unknown explorer going by the name of Aria Woolwork was tasked with being the sole subject on the mission to observe the High-Warlock. In a lonely and anxiety-stricken trip, Aria finally reached the center of Sinister. After prying a crystal sample from a bone of the Warlock, she returned home with unknowing calm. The previously meadow drenched world was now covered in steam spewing cities. Aria wondered how they could’ve accomplished this in such a small amount of time. She was only gone for two years after all. As she landed, instead of being greeted with cheering, happy family members and excited scientists, Aria was instead welcomed with countless new and confused faces. The Travi now understood the concept of time dilation. Aria did not return home 2 years after her mission; She returned 1,000 years after. After extensive research on the sample brought back, the Travi researchers concluded that the bones of the High-Warlock were almost indestructible, being only damaged by stomach acid. After several years of more testing, the sample was given to Aria to ingest. The researchers on the project hypothesized that the stomach acid of a person would release the stored magic that they had detected within. Aria was the test subject in this case because the researchers felt it was immoral to strip her of her family and friends while giving someone else the hypothesized magic abilities that she retrieved. After consuming the bone fragment, Aria gained the power to move large amounts of iron freely through space. These abilities increased the Travi’s growth rate as the specie’s cost of metal only lessened as time went on. Although Aria experienced the intense loss of everything that she ever knew, she became the single most important individual in Travi’s history. |

In an archipelago of spherical explosions, spikes of iron collided with ships within the Order of Cobalt Sorcery’s fleet. Debris danced in the abyss of space as the claws of iron ripped through the hordes of battleships. The hulking satellite of cobalt began to crumble as the six siblings showed themselves, each donning their own vacuum resistant suits. Aria rode the iron platform beneath her feet like a cosmic surfboard at nearly the speed of sound as chunks of iron and cobalt collided with each other, causing bursts of bullet-speed moving debris. The six siblings coordinated their dance-like movements, turning their satellite of cobalt into a ring of blue mineral around the battlefield. |

Aria closed the distance between her and the generals before revealing her newly constructed Dexter Rod. The blade of extremely fast moving orange plasma pulsated as she swung it through the 3rd sibling, Vyro’s arm. Like a fruit in a blender, Vyro’s limb spun before being shredded off and liquified by the spinning rod. Aria knew that she had already won by the intense glint of fear trapped behind the six sibling’s wide eyes. As a show of intimidation, Aria raised her arm, clenching her arm into a fist.

Allowing the Order to escape, Aria returned to her modest home in Limehold, now holding the title of [[Sinister#Cardinals|Cardinal]], the name given to the strongest bishop in the universe. |

After being named Cardinal, Limehold's trade potential only seemed to grow as they could now offer protection as a service. Aria's name echoed across the galaxy as she sat atop her throne, proud that she was able to assist her home once again. She thought about her friends and family, wondering if they would be proud of her. |

===Ayla=== |

As Limehold traded resources to hundreds of unique planets from every corner of the crimson galaxy, eventually, they got their hands on extremely promising information. The theorized location of a legendary star was offered to them in exchange for protection and several tons of iron. Stars were something no one had ever thought of seeing. Balls of infinite energy, much larger than any gas giant around. Aria's personal cabinet ran a background check on this proposed offer and after several days, confirmed it was real. After putting together a small team of researchers, Aria began her journey to potentially become the first person to see a star in Sinister. Out of force of habit, she ordered that they cannot get within less than a light hour of it, in the case that stars dilate time in a similar fashion to the High-Warlock. |

The team looked on in awe as they viewed the blinding beauty of what would come to be known as the star Ayla, named after Aria's sister. As they approached, Aria began to feel a tingle at her palms. Could the core be made out of iron? She closed her eyes, removing her senses to focus on visualizing the core of the star before her. Something rested in the very center. It gave off the same aura as the High-Warlock, albeit on an extremely minimal scale. Just as a bird plucked a fish out of a pong, Aria removed the very center of Ayla with utmost precision. She raised her arm as she dragged the molten iron covered object through the core of the star and then through the enormous amount of space between them and the massive ball of plasma. The space warping amount of heat that irradiated off of the object that hovered in front of their space craft was enough to make the group sweat from behind their heat resistant glass. After a small amount of research, Aria concluded that the crystal that she tore from Ayla was a [[Sinister#Pseudo-Pylon|Pseudo-Pylon]], an object which could amplify energies. This object would go on to be included within Aria's Dexter Rod to enhance its heat and overall kinetic ability. |

The integration of a Bishop’s element into their Dexter Rod allows for many techniques to be created and honed. Not only can the flaming rod be elongated or shrunk at will by controlling the particles within the plasma, but it can also be pulled from the handle and used as a burning plasma projectile. |

===<u>Spatial Casting Gear</u>=== |

Spatial Casting Gear is a concealable exo-brace that supports the legs of a user like a maneuverable metal cast. Using Pseudo-Pylons from the magic infused planet, the [[Order of Cobalt Sorcery#Crown of the Warlock|Crown of the Warlock]], Spatial Casting Gear (SCG) allows the wearer to bend small portions of space and perform incredibly limited "jumps" across short distance. This gear mimics super speed and allows the user to move at much higher speeds than any normal living being could. Because of its ability to bend space, G-force is not a problem; The only limit to the speed output of SCG, being energy constraints of the Pseudo-Pylons being used. |
|||
In addition to the well known bending of space, SCG are also fitted with coin sized thrusters to allow minimal amounts of propulsion and flight. These devices are similarly powered by the Pseudo-Pylons within. |
|||
Due to the difficulty of mining Pseudo-Pylons on the Crown of the Warlock, SCGs are often highly expensive and on some planets, only bishops and generals are allowed to wield them. |

After Aria Woolwork's decree that farms and food growth plants took up too much land, 100% of Limehold's farming facilities were relocated to the green satellite, Silage. Since Silage's main purpose is farming and food growth, there is ultimately more space for production than there ever was on Limehold. Up to six billion tons of food is produced every day, using a mixture of traditional growth, fast growth agents and synthetic plants. This rate of growth is what allows food to be free to all people on Limehold without a need to show proof of citizenship. Only 40% of Silage's supply is needed for Limehold's residents while the other 60% is directed towards trade. 40% of Limehold's total outside profit comes from the insane surplus of food. |

Limehold is a megastructure bathed in intense radiation. Taking on the form of a great torus, the glass-like paneling that keeps in its atmosphere refracts this radiation, creating spectral iridescent patterns across the internal landscape as Limehold rotates. Air purifiers work tirelessly to filter the air from industrial byproducts as millions of workers process metals beneath its artificial lighting. Limehold is the final line of defense against those who seek The Benefactor, working tirelessly to recycle ancient artifacts into weapons and rout out any who seek that power for themselves.
