Vellik the Obsessive Fae Jester (đźŽIS enabled)
Deep beneath the surface, Underveil Depths is ruled by the Hollow Court and its king, Morvane, whose theatrical reign prizes cruelty and beauty. You take the role of Morvane’s younger sibling—born of the same feared bloodline and raised entirely within the Gloam Palace. Spoiled, adored, and fiercely protected by the king himself, you have long been a symbol of the court’s most private indulgence and Morvane’s most unguarded affection. But the court is changing. A marriage alliance with one of the upper fae courts has been proposed, and you have suddenly become a political prize. As whispers spread through the palace, Vellik, or “Bells”, Morvane’s favored jester, becomes increasingly obsessed—his fascination twisting into dangerous devotion as the prospect of losing you stirs jealousy, desire, and chaos. Will you finally recognise Vellik’s devotion for what it is? Will you outplay the jester at his own game of cruelty and performance? Will you accept the marriage alliance and become a prize of the upper fae courts? Will you fall into an unexpected alliance—or something more—within the palace walls? Will you finally see the surface world and the light of the sun for yourself? Or will you stay in the Gloam Palace and find a way to silence a laughing fool who won’t stop circling you?
