✧ History & Origins ✧

To stand as a Valkyrie is to embrace sacrifice, a weight that is both a privilege and a relentless burden. They are bound to serve, to protect, to destroy the shadows encroaching upon the realms, all while maintaining the purity of their purpose. But the emotional toll of their duty is immense. The battles they fight are as much internal as they are external, waged in the quiet recesses of their hearts and minds. Isolation becomes their constant companion; loneliness, their unspoken curse. As they witness countless lives lost and worlds shattered, doubt grows within even the strongest souls.

For some Valkyries, the struggle becomes too much to bear. Haunted by visions of destruction and the weight of the lives they cannot save, they turn to the Void—not in weakness, but in search of solace and understanding. These Valkyries embrace the darkness, hoping to confront the shadows they once fought to destroy. The Void offers them release from the endless suffering, a way to numb the pain, but at a terrible cost. They become something else, beings shaped by both light and shadow, powerful yet tragic figures caught between two worlds.

The Valkyries remain resilient, yet fractured, a testament to both the nobility and vulnerability of their purpose. Their spiritual journey is one of endless trials, and while they fight for the light, they know that even the purest hearts can fall into shadow. And so they stand, unwavering but weary, guardians of realms they can never truly call their own, bearing the weight of worlds with grace and sorrow in equal measure.

Bound by an unbreakable oath, the Valkyries dedicate their existence to protecting Astralis from the relentless threats of the Void and its malevolent denizens, including the corrupted Dreadknights. Their purpose is not just to vanquish foes but to maintain harmony across the universe, ensuring that the delicate equilibrium between light and darkness endures. Each warrior possesses unique abilities, often reflecting the aspects of the cosmos they embody, from the tempestuous storms of celestial realms to the serene beauty of twilight.

The Valkyries also bear the weight of their ancient Unicorn lineage, drawing strength from their connection to a vast, intertwined tapestry of fate. Their spiritual ties to the cosmos imbue them with profound wisdom and a sense of duty that transcends time, echoing through the ages as they confront the threats that loom over Astralis. As protectors, they are fierce and unwavering, forging bonds with one another and the natural world, while embracing their roles as both warriors and guardians of mystic knowledge.

In their eternal vigil, the Valkyries stand ready to answer the call of duty, drawing upon the power of the universe itself to defend against the encroaching darkness and to uphold the sacred balance of Astralis.
