And These Hands Are Not Mine

life in Luxium's luxuries

The Luxium represents the upper half and primary seat of the Solunarian Capital and one of the dual-cities that comprises Solunarium Proper. Situated between the foot of the volcanic Mount Sorokyn and the wide River Vasta, this above-ground metropolis boasts five thriving districts beneath the shadow of the glorious Palatium Furiarum (The Blazing Palace) from which the Solar Court rules in splendour. This bustling metropolis is by far the most populous region in the realm and, along with its shadowy sister-city the Umbrium, houses upwards of eighty percent of the Solunarian population at any given time. During the reign of a Solar Court, every major government agency in the kingdom is headquartered in the Luxium, with the notable exception of The Silver Sentinels, the covert intelligence agency run by the House of Phaedryn-Sol’Aværys.

While Seværys and Tithya responded, the look on Palæros’ face was an expression of subtle amusement.

“I’ll admit, Tithya’s right about that one; though I do admire the skill of the participants, I’ve never participated myself,” he’d say with a light laugh, “...and I certainly wouldn’t consider them to be in the same category as any of the parties I’ve been to or helped put on.”

But then he’d look to Seværys specifically, “...and so you are, but must you always be? I’m sure you could be great fun if I were ever to catch you alone,” he’d continue with a small giggle. Oddly, the notion of how ‘regimented’ he was would almost appear to excite Palæros more– people like that were often the most pent-up, so to speak.

“I bet the anonymity of the Masquerade might help you loosen up as well; such a shame I’ll not be able to tell you apart from the rest, though,” and to this he’d sigh somewhat theatrically, underscoring just how unfortunate he thought this was.

Time continued to pass and soon they would have to get up and actually attend to their duties. For this, Victrian made his return, but given the supposition provided by the other two, he was remarkably hesitant to speak on whatever it was that had gone on between him and the starlit princeps. Æros found this curious while it made Palæmon nervous more so than anything else. They figured if he were merely unable to speak on whatever it was, he’d tease them about it, jackal that he was– but no. How strange.

Say goodnight, to the weakness that you hide behind
Leaving the lies, leaving the fear inside
Never once were you truly alive
So scream all you like, no one can hear you
