ROYASTELLA

Royastella is a technologically structured martial realm within the Crios Multireality. Unlike resonance-based realities such as Beeston, Royastella operates through quantifiable magical engineering governed by a metaphysical construct known simply as the System.

Magic in Royastella is not expressive or emotional in nature. It is treated as a measurable internal resource called Mana, which can be trained, optimized, and exhausted. The realm is characterized by militarized nobility, structured societal hierarchies, and a defensive culture built around protecting itself from interdimensional conquest.

Royastella is classified as a System-Regulated Reality, where metaphysical law is standardized through quantification and governed progression mechanics.

Reality Structure

• The System: A universal construct that regulates magical capability, growth, and output across all inhabitants. Its true creator or origin remains unknown.
• Mana Capacity: Determines spellcasting stamina and energy output. Trained and optimized rather than harmonically attuned.
• Technique Architecture: Magic manifests as structured techniques rather than emotional projection or resonant expression.
• Combat Optimization: Magical proficiency is enhanced through training metrics, efficiency protocols, and output refinement.

Overextension leads to exhaustion or System backlash. Royastella magic prioritizes discipline and execution precision over creative interpretation.

System Mana is an internally generated, energy-based magical resource requiring no emotional synchronization. Mana is stored, converted, and expended through the execution of structured spell techniques.

Elemental Core Theory

Native Royastellans possess internalized metaphysical constructs known as Elemental Cores, which determine their natural magical affinity. Standard cores are traditionally considered immutable and do not normally produce visible manifestations.

External Core Manifestation

The Runic Knights of Starlite 7th were trained by dissonant discord in advanced techniques allowing them to project their Elemental Cores externally. Manifested Core Auras grant enhanced physical strength, defensive resilience, movement speed, cognitive processing, and in rare cases, probability distortion and tactical foresight.

Core Variability

The Runic Knights were further trained to alter their Elemental Cores entirely, allowing mid-combat switching of elemental affinities and the enhancements they manifest — a capability unheard of in standard Royastellan doctrine.

Rare Core Phenomena

• Light Core: Extremely rare. Spell failure can induce unconsciousness. Known user: Mahana Sahi.
• Dark Core: Exceptionally dangerous. Spell failure can permanently destroy magical capability or cause death. Known users: BLADE GUILLOTINE, Starlit Alpha.
• Aether Core: Considered metaphysically impossible. Any Aether Core formed is theorized to naturally unmake its host due to inherent instability.

Conjoined Element Doctrine

Tier 2 or conjoined elemental manifestations do not occur within native Royastellan society. They have only ever appeared in external invaders. Royastella defense forces maintain strict vigilance against entities capable of conjoined elemental manipulation.

The Starlite 7th is Royastella's premier defensive Sentai-style task force, assembled from System-selected champions tasked with protecting the realm from extraplanar invasion and catastrophic internal threats. Each member holds both a royal title and combat specialization.

Core Members

• Itami Serafino — Starlit Empress (Commander and tactical authority)
• Shini Thana — Starlit Sultana (Defensive operations specialist)
• Wentea Liso — Starlit Dynast (Spiritual and metaphysical combat specialist)
• Takino Retsu — Starlit Mikado (Dual-form adaptive weapon specialist)
• Riasa Sungbae — Starlit Pasha (High-speed precision striker)
• Kayre — Starlit Rex (Heavy artillery and ranged assault specialist)
• Daeon Liàng — Starlit Czar (Close-quarters combat enforcer)

Starlit Alpha

Starlit Alpha serves as the mentor and last line of defense — a failsafe beyond the core team. When the Starlite 7th falls, he comes and rights the wrongs.

Establishment of the System

The origin event that integrated magical quantification into Royastellan civilization. The true creator or emergence point of the System remains unknown, though its influence permeates every aspect of Royastellan life.

Formation of the Starlite 7th

System-selected champions were covertly assembled into a coordinated elite defense unit capable of responding to multi-realm incursions, unifying royal combat traditions under a single doctrine.

The Conjoined Element Incursions

A series of off-realm invasions utilizing Tier 2 elemental magic forced Royastella to formalize defensive doctrine and expand interrealm threat monitoring infrastructure.

BLADE GUILLOTINE Infiltration & Betrayal

dissonant discord infiltrated Royastella under the identity BLADE GUILLOTINE, alternating between adversary and reluctant ally before betraying the Starlite 7th. After the team defeated an incursive threat, BLADE seized the enemy's power, turned on the Runic Knights, defeated them, and opened a rift in the sky. (See Falling Stars)

Symphonic Overture

A major cross-realm harmonic destabilization event during which Mahana Sahi arrived in Royastella without her memories. The Starlite 7th protected her and ultimately returned her to Beeston, reinforcing the growing threat of cross-realm instability. (See Symphonic Overture)

discord Returns as Mentor

Following Beeston's sealing, discord returned claiming Beeston had been destroyed and warning of a coming threat to Royastella. She trained the Starlite 7th in Aura Manifestation, Element Core evolution, and Harmonic Combat Restructuring — before revealing herself as the very threat she described and transforming into BLADE GUILLOTINE.

Daughter Revelation Event

Starlit Alpha arrived and initially overwhelmed BLADE. Discord then revealed a familial connection to Alpha — causing emotional hesitation that led to his capture. Alpha was taken through a dimensional skyrift into Nexsicon.

Realm Seal — Royastella

With BLADE GUILLOTINE triumphant, Royastella was sealed dimensionally and isolated in preparation for eventual convergence into Nexsicon.

Social Principles

• Honor-based hierarchy rooted in noble combat responsibility
• Tactical education beginning in early youth
• Merit-based System ranking advancement
• Royal titles reflecting both governance authority and battlefield distinction

Symbolism

Stars are the central symbol of Royastellan culture, representing achievement through discipline, measurable greatness, and eternal vigilance. The star motif simultaneously evokes aristocracy and the aspiration to become a guiding light within structured destiny.

Technology and Arcane Engineering

Royastella integrates magical energy into advanced weaponry and combat infrastructure, including mana-channeling arm cannons, runic reinforcement armor, multi-component combination weapon systems, and aura amplification technologies.

Inter-Realm Awareness

Royastella maintains cautious awareness of alternate magical systems that do not follow System regulation. The Lúmenai harmonic resonance of Beeston and the Cymoran elemental synthesis of Nexsicon are both documented as potential threat vectors due to their unpredictability relative to System-governed magic.

The name Royastella derives from the phrase "Royal Stella," meaning Royal Star.
