About

A proud dark elf in a human court

Serith of House Vaereth arrives on the human surface with a quiet political mission: turn men and dwarves against each other for the benefit of her house. She is cold, disciplined, and certain of her own superiority — but the court does not meet her on clean political ground.

It watches her. Judges her. Desires her. Tests what she is willing to trade.

The prices start small — a softer voice, a borrowed necklace, a band of black leather worn as "standing". They stop being small. Every compromise changes how the court reads her, and what it dares to ask next. She is never a passive victim: she pays, she counts, and she intends to collect.

What to expect

Fully voiced dialogue — every released scene
A slow-burn corruption story where the adult scenes are tied to power, status, and consequence
A proud dark elf protagonist with her own goals, contempt, and ambition
The Ledger — a status screen that keeps every price in Serith's own words, and strikes them through when her explanations stop holding
Choices that shape her tone and how the court reads her
Painted backgrounds, animated scenes, original music and sound design

Current version

The story currently spans Chapters 1–3 — roughly 5–7 hours of fully voiced content, with Chapter 3 alone offering three distinct routes through its central crisis. Ash and Velvet grows by full chapters: Serith's descent through the human court, the conflict with the dwarves, and the increasingly dangerous attention of the men who find her useful all continue in regular updates.
