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.

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.

PENDANT ADVENTURER
The pendant lamp of June, Lorden.
Energetic. Curious. Adventurous.
Lora Hanada had lived in a strict and extremely protective household, with her only activities being attending school and doing homework.
It would be no surprise every time one of her close friends, Denzel, talks about his camping adventures with his dad in the cedar woods and listens to Denzel’s flute playing during lunch breaks, she would be filled with the strongest desire to learn what lies beyond the boundaries of
her home.

BANKER'S HERALD
The banker's lamp of September, Jureden.
Aggressive. Naive. Obstinate.
Copperoak is the herald of prosperity and calamity. Irden’s uncle, Arle, found a shard with a tormented soul that reminded him of his wife, whom he met under an oak tree. Originally believing the shard was a shining rock he could use in a lamp, Arle noticed a soul and housed it in a copper vessel. Earl swore to raise Copperoak with the love he never had the chance to give to his wife before she passed.

DRUM MAJOR
The drum lamp of November, Noyaden.
Placid. Schizoid. Enduring.
Nona Morozova resides in a silent, winding kingdom of Bleskov, built on top of the buried ruins of Shinzan and Lucerna. In the daytime, little Nona leads a marching band on her own of imaginary dome-like toys.
She has very open contempt for folks who are easily swayed, and often chooses her own path far apart from the few friends she has back
in the wintry Bleskov.

LANTERN ANGEL
The lantern of December, Sharden.
Angel. Demon. Burning.
Desrea Fatalle, a lantern angel, has been exiled onto the waxy shores from seeing other lamps. A bizarre crimson glow emanates from the distance beyond the kingdom of Lucerna, where her trial would begin. Desrea treads through glooming candle wastes, where she wrestles through her journey in isolation and torment. Whether Desrea is able to rise again as a lamp before converting into a candle, is up to her endurance.
