EMPIRE PILGRIM

The empire lamp of January, Irden.

Strong-willed. Idealist. Stubborn.
Constance Rosenthaliana is the bellwether of the twelve lunar lamp maidens.
Now a pilgrim seeking to bring light back upon the fatally moonstruck world, Constance was the daughter of a decommissioned warlock in the kingdom of Lucerna, who crafted and sold lamps for a living, providing electric light for those during the night wherever the moon couldn’t reach.

SCALLOP POETESS

The scallop lamp of February, Arden.

Indirect. Poetic. Passionate.
Fortuna “Lucky” Auriola was found in a basket floating in a red river by a wandering lunatic making its voyage to Kyousei a hundred years after the moon shattered.
Lunatic souls seem to have a sinister attraction to Fortuna, and being a poetess born under the false blood moon does not sound like a coincidence.

TIFFANY SEAMSTRESS

The tiffany lamp of March, Sanreden.

Sophisticated. Double-dealing. Wild.
A seamstress and herald of spring.
Aemilia Aviv’s unpredicatble manners lead others to believe she may be partially complicit in the events of the Shatter. Aemilia resides in the rural area of Aurientum, thousands of miles East of their sister kingdom, Lucerna.
Some say Daffodils bloom in threes when she is near.
