The Origin of Elias Nocturne

Before he was a whisper in the ink, before the Chronicle chose its Keeper, there was only a man—and a story lost to time.

The Forgotten Name

Elias Nocturne was not always known by that name. In another life, he was [redacted], a scholar obsessed with forgotten histories and forbidden texts. It is said his family line bore a curse—a shadow that stretched back centuries—one that whispered to him in dreams of ink and ash.

The Chronicle’s Discovery

Deep beneath the ruins of his ancestral estate, he found it: a book bound in sinew and locked by seven seals. The Unholy Chronicle. Its pages were blank at first glance, but when he traced his fingers across the parchment, the ink bled through—stories no one remembered, events erased from history.

The Transformation

As he read, the Chronicle read him. Every whisper, every flicker of candlelight, seemed to breathe life into its pages. Over nights and months, the man began to fade—until only Elias remained, neither fully alive nor dead, but bound to the Chronicle’s will. His eyes darkened, his voice became ink-stained—a conduit between the forgotten and the present.

The Keeper’s Curse

To hold the Chronicle is to become part of it. Elias’s name is etched into its final page—hidden, erased, yet always there. The Chronicle cannot lie, but it can distort. And while Elias guides others through its stories, he too searches... for the key to his own release.
