Demeanor

Keywords: Demure, affable, philosophical, hyperempathetic, patient, idealistic, decisive and knowledgeable.Unconventional traits: Performative, elusive, contrarian, overbearing, melodramatic, anxious, dismissive, dogmatic.Complex: under the belief she wears human skin but doesn’t embody it; imposter syndrome.Personality: Virtute’s softened appearance, hushed voice and gestures are used to paint a picture of harmlessness, as to distract from the greatness of her capabilities, position, and especially, her cruel past and duty. Following that principle, her speech is always cushioned to sound as inoffensive as possible.
Vivian is overly-permissive, appearing almost nurturingly patient. She prefers to focus the conversation outside of herself to maintain an image of sympathy. Virtute has a confident answer for nearly any situation, often suggesting sensible, idealistic options as solutions.She cherishes terrestrial life and is adamant to be defensive and protective of it, yet when it comes to those similar in might upsetting her, she either becomes silent or close to concerned. During new encounters with individuals of advanced abilities which go against her moral code, she seems more flat toned, expressions included. There is a slight bluntness perceived especially to those she wouldn't usually like to affiliate herself with. But it can also come off as expressing constant doubt. Almost like a form of her past self rearing its head.Quotes:“Just like you cannot call the sun evil for burning, you cannot call Adnyeus evil for creating.”“When you plant a seed of evil, however many times you cut the stem, it will still root evil."“Strength… is defying the odds. I am strong, so I am allowed vulnerability.”"I yearn for order, equality, harmony and respite. That vividly reflects in the realm of my making."“Mortality is allowed to make mistakes for they have one life. Caelestia have millions, so we are exempt.”

Celestials and Heaven

── ✦ Virtute’s race; Celestials: prefaceCelestials (Caelestia in Latin; caelis=sky) in their unaltered form are sentient celestial bodies across the universe. Celestials who become corporeal by the will of the universe alone are few and far between, yet they possess tremendous adaptability. Two of the cases known to undergo this transformation are Adnyeus (Sun impersonation) and Virtute Astra (Supermassive Black Hole).Some Celestials change their appearance, mannerisms and voices constantly, so terrestrials never recall meeting them. Virtute, as an exception, keeps her appearance consistent due to having a muse she emulates; a tribute.The malleable, impressionable organisms left for facile socialization and integration once their society persevered following their strict ruling. As they are a fabricated imitation of what humanity is supposed to be, their behavior, form, speech, personality might not always be sensical, predictable or pleasant. Consistencies and attributes are built with time within their community.Their physical forms can vary from humane, to mythical, and even a combination of both. Sightings such as unicorn celestial folk for example (either in feral or hybrid form) can be uncommon, but they do exist. Any fantastical fabrication of the human mind perseveres among the sky folk to represent the wonders which can occur in a world of flawless creation, as opposed to the worlds of Adnyeus’ trifurcation.All Caelestia, after the brief period of a severe regimen under their Queen, have developed head wings of various designs, signifying complete and utter freedom.Self-expression through embellishments of all kinds (garments, accessories, body modifications, et cetera) is widely encouraged as long as it respects the confines of their preset etiquette; weapons and intimidating displays are forbidden to bear. Virtute’s daughter, Astra, takes advantage of flashy dark makeup and fashion to rebel against this implementation.They live in vessels equipped with what one might see with the naked eye only, therefore organs, fingerprints, and other unseen or minute details do not exist unless temporarily provoked if they serve a certain purpose.── ✦ The world of Virtute’s creationCaelum (aka Celestial Heaven) is a covert idyllic realm (made entirely of Caelestia) in the midst of the Andromeda galaxy, where its inhabitant corporeal entities live by a tome of rules called “The Code”, inscribed by their Matriarch Virtute herself.The faeric domain is adorned with an amalgam of biosphere and refined architecture/arrangements, veiled by anything from hazy pastel skies to the open galaxy depending on its areas. It comprises only the most picturesque scenarios revolving all times of day, unbridled and carefully chosen flora, all entwined with the celestial-wrought stone of inhabited, walkable or resting zones of the plateau-like world. It's as every corner is carefully crafted to marvel upon...The Celestial realm and their etiquette has been established by Her Excellency, with each detail chosen deliberately to portray a domain of fantasy, in mix with ancient Roman customs (language, culture, physique, et cetera), dismantling the rotten cores of its grief (discrimination, violence, illness, sin, hierarchy, labour, currency).Generally, they are described as gentle and amicable folk with a strong foundation built on pacifism and acceptance. The concept of commiting what is perceived as sin, and especially, perpetuating any sort of violence is seen as a taboo that can hardly even be brought up. If ever met with an individual that has commited as much as one bloodshed, their demeanor may change drastically, as far as even falling into disbelieving silence.If the Celestial Code is inspired by human morals, then Virtute embodies the power humans couldn't attain to oppose their imperfect creator. Virtute punishing the Soul King despite him being unaware of the code is the opposite of what happens to people who aren’t aware of religious doctrine.Virtute calls it the Latin for “Heaven” because she found its inexistence to be like an unfulfilled yearn for humanity or any sentient form of life, a tribute to her inspiration towards her own purpose and that of her peers. Celestials, being exposed to the predicament of the current outside worlds, consider that it is a curse to exist in them when you could’ve been born in lavish Heaven.An outcome outside of celestine awareness is the existence of Caelum negatively affecting the balance between it and Adnyeus’ creation. Following the principle of “world balance”, the perceived flawlessness of Heaven made it so that the other worlds, to maintain universal equilibrium, could not attain the level of excellence which was achieved by celestiality. And so its sheer actuality doomed the creation they prized to inadvertent misfortune and stagnation.
Adnyeus’ legacy remains the same because Celestials’ beliefs altogether influence the energy of the universe, becoming a perpetual truth due to their influence over the design of the world.What reinforces it all the more is that the sacramental gesture of the celestial cross takes the shape of a four pointed star hovered on the forehead, then a shoulder, the heart, the other shoulder, and then back to the forehead. That four pointed star is marked as the vacancy in the midst of Adnyeus’ eyes, signifying that Heaven is outside what mirrors his soul, outside of his vision and the creation that defines him, marking their objective opposing that of his capabilities as a first time Creator. That very same shape takes place as Vivian’s white pupil, a four-pointed bright white glimmer.── ✦ The objective of Virtute Astra’s creationThe Heaven of Andromeda is made of former, now corporeal celestial bodies with a conscience, once responsible with fate through incidental astrology. After visiting the realm of Terra, once left with a bitter taste, Virtute Astra decided to make a world of a most ideal structure, where morality must be followed by scripture like punishable law. A world devoid of all of Earth’s shortcomings.The novel civilization serves a noble purpose; the celestial bodies, now bearing a higher form of intelligence, can make deliberate astrologic choices as to positively affect the fate of adjacent galaxies, especially that of Via Lactea (Milky Way). As their world is without labor, much of their time can be spent on guiding celestial bodies besides their day to day activities, which is a more serene mirror of a privileged human’s.── ✦ How Virtute found her purpose in the universeExperiencing the dreadful aspects of another deity’s creation, that of Adnyeus, made Virtute realize, in reflection of her moral compass and abilities, that her purpose is to serve as Divine Executioner. Ultimately, that title would only serve for her peers, as the plan for the ritual of his execution would be hindered by a number of factors; personal growth, denial of the Royal Guards (once she expressed to them her intentions, replacing the Soul King with galactic mass), and the possibilities that organizing fate brought forth. With that, Virtute was finally capable to detach from any sort of tyranny as to serve her true values, finding her past self to be reprehensible. Yet, the title remained as her past tails after her crown, and her power remains intact.── ✦ The trajectory of CaelumMeager centuries after Adnyeus debuted the world of the living, the entity later baptized to be Virtute Astra materialized as a presence onto the ancient grounds of the Roman Empire. And within years time, Virtute learned the extent of Adnyeus’ creation vileness. Such is why Vivian returned to Andromeda in order to make Caelum; the Celestial’s Heaven. Where, with the aid of her powers, the race became widespread, yet a secret of their galaxy.Witnessing the hostility of the humanity she idolized to emulate and blend in with, Vivian learned that attempting to change its design would be unethical and held no fruition. And the universe’s will would not allow her direct interference. She knew she could never blend in with mortality. Once she abandoned ‘Terra’, her innate powers assured she will never be recalled, but as a gap in memory. Like a black hole…Thereby Virtute returned to where her core lay, the Andromeda galaxy epicenter, to create the community she hoped to see within Adnyeus’ flawed design, according to what she concluded humanity aspired towards; utopia.By the time Virtute’s conscious form roamed the world of the living, faith was widespread. She heard of Gods, she heard of religion, of Heaven and Hell. Her mind caught quickly onto the information, but she never had the heart to denounce, in her perpetual quest for knowledge and equity. Almost as if her sense of order was inborn;And so she was convinced. Vivian pondered why her greatest aspiration -once developing individualistic traits with the help of terrestrial socialization- has adamantly been retribution on behalf of humanity. An impulse as ardent as the Sun himself to tackle the imbalance of one immoral entity subjugating millions to suffering due to ignorance.Then, her forged psyche set the last cog into place; just as Adnyeus was appointed to be Creator, so was she his Punisher. She learned that the humanity she prizes so much would consider her of divine origin, so she realized her destiny to relay in the title of Divine Executioner. Such is a duty she abode like gospel in her realm of her own creation.Virtute composed the Holy Book with a utopia in mind, which she made sure to reinforce as law. Law that tasted like tyranny in the beginning, mirroring what their Queen replicated from cruel Terrestrials.As a first time ruler, she was clueless about efficiently managing the imposing race she had established. Therefore, whoever opposed her preachment would be turned to stardust, returning to the cold void of the universe. Such resulted in her folk distancing in apprehension from her. That is how the “fair Queen” concluded the hypocrisy of her actions. A costly apathy, caused by the desire of keeping order.This marks the moment of epiphany, the turning point in her leading style; and soon, through forgiveness, patience, and absolution instead of elimination, the realm would thrive in its idealism. And so it has transpired for over a millennium and a half.It wasn’t deliberate cruelty that participated in her decision to transform her disobedient peers to stardust, but the desire to propagate the cycle of life affecting the worlds of Adnyeus as well. As terrestrials are in a minute portion of their essence cosmic, that is what collides the existence of Caelestia with them. The process of creating the first living beings involved the Soul King altering already existing cosmic mass into corporeal forms of life. Following that process, that is how humans and non-humans followed the afterlife. And that is how Virtute fed that curriculum; by turning those who rejected her pre-determined customs for her realm into essence that would become other forms of life. The outcome will not be considered to be Caelestia per se, because that requires being a pre-existing celestial body with a conscience. It is a symbiotic exchange between two galaxies purely out of Vivian’s volition.── ✦ Caelestia and their universal wyrdThe personalities of the sky folk remain true to their former cosmic bodies. Such as Her Excellency, representing a black hole is alluring, quiet yet somber in her existence. And her daughter Astra Geneviv Caelis as Eta Carinae can present chaos and unpredictability, an outburst that is controlled, but waiting to happen. And that applies for each particular pseudo-individual.The means through which celestials truly connect with terrestrials is the elusive patterns of the universe, more specifically, astrology. The entities are intimately connected with it, to a point where certain scholars can make predictions based on placement reading alone. Some can even predict zodiac signs of individuals based on demeanor adjacent with the science. They trust that non-celestials which are firm believers of it are enlightened, and think of astrology as a genuine means to read into fate.Virtute’s ultimate decision to make Heaven was partly influenced by this fact; instead of allowing celestial bodies to idly influence fate, she offered them a means to directly do so. So this remains the ultimate purpose of Celestials, covertly influencing the universe towards favorable outcomes for its inhabitants.── ✦ Caelestia and power✧ The core of Caelesia is within their former cosmic body, exactly within the spot it existed before transformation. If the core is not found within the universe as to be destroyed, extermination cannot take place. Its whereabouts cannot easily be determined.✧ Caelestia carry overwhelming magnetic pulls and can exude uncomfortable amounts of heat or particularly painful “aura” (which can be mistaken for spiritual pressure, although it transcends that scale) effects, which makes it more favorable they are a species from outside Via Lactea (the Milky Way). However when situated in the proximity of a milder form of life, Celestials use means of sealing their presence. If outside their realm, they solely present within a holographic likeness which cannot be interacted with unless they decide to initiate such.✧ As the “sky entities” make up a peaceful race against strife and conflict, they rarely use or disclose their abilities. Power use with the purpose of termination is forbidden within Heaven by their Code, and utilizing it must be as inconvenient as possible in order to display their feats less. The most common way through which the average entity makes their ability known, is by witnessing their gradual mastering of it in their youth.
Celestials’ might is seen as shameful due to the impact of violence on other civilizations. The mentality is also reinforced by the principle engraved by their Queen into their culture; the power of cosmic entities must be minimized to keep humble.✧ Celestials have been conditioned to think it is ethical and solely necessary to use their abilities on immortals outside of Reio’s design.✧ Celestial youth in particular can be very unstable, and their powers are thought to be more dangerous than the average civilized “adult” Celestial due to their lack of control and understanding over what is expected of them. They are seen as innocents that require thorough initiation and patience. Flesh-bearing individuals are denied the company of Celestial children due to a highly increased mortality rate in their proximity. At the very least, adult assistance is required, but it doesn’t guarantee absolute safety from the peril of their abilities.

Core interpersonal dynamics

── ✦ Spouse: Horaea, Goddess of the MoonVirtute and Horaea have a strong bond which was built upon gradual and mutual discovery, not immediate connection. At the beginning of their acquaintanceship, as rulers of two different realms, their main disagreement revolved around the Soul King. Horaea saw her brother, Adnyeus, as good-willing and innocent, whilst Virtute saw the complete opposite. Horaea viewed him as merciful and openhanded, thinking of humanity as inferior and ungrateful. Virtute saw Adnyeus as a figure that deliberately made a flawed design that lead to the suffering of his creation, despite his might. What eased the tension created by Virtute’s disagreement was her eventual leniency; she claims that indeed, due to being the first creator of a world, he would have no experience with such, and thus should be forgiven for his shortcomings, although grand. That leniency is what marked the point in their growing closure. As Horaea has never witnessed one aware of Adnyeus’ upbringing find empathy for his deific predicament, such has deeply touched her to a point of increasing curiosity on how Virtute's personality operates, and how her pacifism came to be.── ✦ Adopted Daughters✧ Astra Geneviv Caelis[Insert desc]✧ Kiyoka Mikoto Kumori.[Insert desc]── ✦ Spiritual Son: Yhwach[Insert desc]── ✦ Divine rival: Adnyeus[Insert desc]

Signature ability✦ Semita Nullius Reditus (The Path of no Return)Upon reversing one's lifespan, Virtute removes all the impact that they had on the world, and the age of experience is attributed to her. This mirrors the fact that she is the personification of a black hole. Black holes are dead stars able to dilate time through their strong gravitational fields, so her body and time warp abilities cater to that knowledge.
It is not mandatory for her to deprive an individual of their entire life, so she could take even minutes and days away. However, that action removes memories from the victim for the amount of time chosen. She claims instant knowledge of them also.
The Matriarch can choose to retrace their life to a point where the recipient was “sinless”, offering them in a way a second chance at redeeming themselves and the path they've taken. Which is one of the reasons why she is considered Deity of Absolution.
If an individual is fully absolved by her, she hands their dead particles to the universe, which will adhere to Adnyeus’ worlds by later becoming part of a new entity.
In any scenario, however, the memory of them cannot be removed from the perception of the rest for half the amount of their age.Drawback: Once she draws unto herself the maximum age experience of the galaxy she embodies (Andromeda, 10 trillion years old) she devolves into a quasar, losing her form and continuity.✦ Sanctus Ritus (The Holy Ritual)When executing unfit divinity, Virtute's ability allows for the gospels of The Celestial Code to appear (written in Latin) behind her head written in expansive stardust. They preach of the sins which the wrongful Celestial entity committed according to the Holy Book, followed by the punishment which is to follow. The apparition of the quotes is gradual, letter by letter appearing in loud, hardly describable rhytmic frequency. Through the abridged variant of this ability, the Deity of Absolution can reveal the number of calamities or deaths caused by the chosen sinner.Offensive abilities✦ AmalgamatioVirtute Astra can draw unto herself another body and fuse with them, absorbing their powers and body within, similar to possession. From that point onwards, the victim is thought to be like consumed by a black hole.✦ Galaxy gapsAs a form of direct physical attack, Virtute can spawn patches of the galaxy which immediately swallow everything within the covered area, in the shape of a four-pointed star. The galaxy patch never disappears unless she decides to restore the area manually. It can be described as a gap in the fabric of the material world.Passive ability✦ Unitas cum humanitate (Unison with Humanity)Vivian gains a multitude of knowledge about the world and its history through consuming the alternate dimensions which didn't get to become the current present.✦ Pax Perpetua (Perpetual Peace)When Her Excellency is situated on land outside of her realm, it becomes observable that misfortune in all of its forms is greatly reduced; hostility and calamities cannot take place in her proximity. This is an extension of her Unitas ability, where she practically consumes the bad outcomes through the absorption of alternate events within a timeline.Her faculties obtained her informal titles revolving the moniker "Time Eater" among the few non-Caelestia who recall her existence.

1. GenesisWithin centuries of Terra’s documented history, the epicenter of Andromeda opposed norm, straying from cosmos and descending onto Earth with an everchanging vessel body, which the human mind was unable to comprehend. The Celestial’s eventual curiosity and fascination lead to it learning how to operate and shape the vessel’s form with time according to its surroundings.
Perceived as an anomaly, locals would assume it to be the closest thing to a demonic figure, but a particular soul of that era, named Melissa, would discount the behaviors of her peers and provide the Celestial with the mercy and patience necessary to fully integrate her into their society. That young woman would later baptize the newly integrated entity to be Virtute Astra (inspired from a quote she lectured). Within weeks, Virtute would distinguish the extremes of Melissa's qualities such as solidarity, selflessness, and patience, which would inadvertently rub off on her as she became fully civilized. Their interactions only strengthened their remarkably unique and unbreakable bond, which would stir various unknown emotions and desires within the Celestial.

2. From grief to growthCame a grim day in which their contact would be forever broken. Melissa would end up maimed due to rejecting another as spouse, and soon after her flesh would be covertly served to a table of peers close to her and the rejected suitor, among which was also Virtute Astra. The horripilating truth which the mauler unveiled only after their serving awakened such impactful dread and terror within Virtute, that she has fasted for months, hoping to pass away. And as such would never ensue due to her originally incorporeal status, Virtute was reminded that not only is she above mortality, but ostracized from mortals. This particular epiphany led to her leaving Terra, in pursuit of making the merciful world which Melissa had in vision a reality, an environment she could fully control without guilt and remorse; The Heavens, designed for all willing Celestials.
Within negligible time, Virtute conferred all her formless peers bodies, opulent residence, civilization, and soon they would adjust to their own culture. And when Celestial society was at last fully established and tangible, The Code would come into being. A book of rules, a Testament which served to keep the pantheon under tight constriction. No sin, vice, misbehavior, and especially no harmful contact against mortals and their realm would become holy principles to strictly abide by.3. The King and The CodeBefore the Celestial Testament, the Soul King had been inadvertently pulled into participating in the Cælis society by heritage alone. However, his Calling; the will of the universe that created him has denied him the privilege of living in the flawless Heaven, therefore having any chance at community. Any chance at learning what could happen to Deities who, knowingly or not, disobey The Code that Virtute would later create due to the flawed state of his creation.But he would soon learn of the Testament and its punishments.
Virtute Astra was the Divine Executioner of each bold kin that disconsidered the holy book. And so, many of ichor fell like straws of wheat before her, turning eventually from stardust to the stars webbing the expansive universe. Millions, until they would become a scarce species.The non-confrontational Sun, instead of challenging Andromeda's epicenter, found a cranny as to both evade her justice and pertain to his Purpose, and those he created; and so, he trifurcated the land of the mortals, becoming kingpin of their world. In this manner, he managed to tackle a specific leeway, forming a complex that would not permit Virtute to serve justice without deriding the holy code that she reinforced, which propagated that no Celestial should negatively impact mortal life, which he has.
But specifically, why was he deemed “a grave Sinner” by the Holy Book’s standards?
Despite the inspiration the Creator’s world provided for Heaven’s nation (appearance, civilization, culture, language, demeanor, et cetera) through Her Excellency’s musing, after little analysis of the worlds he provided Via Lactea, she was able to tell its design was cruel; that sorrow is a necessary part of his fabricated Curriculum Vitæ. Virtute swears that although such is the case, the system given has its own objective. And so what she claims to have been True Heresy is not Adnyeus’ act of creating the world, but never interfering with its excessive amount of suffering. Moreover, creating a race he foresaw would dissipate almost in its entirety, for the purpose of serving him (making his son his future replacement).
To Her Excellency, all combined factors denote a mighty sinner, worth eradication.
The only deity to conquer his creation and undo it is the Queen herself, dubbed “the Time Eater”. In order for Deity to be affected by her power, she must stand before them. Which knowingly, is not easily achievable when it comes to the King. He has willingly placed impediments to evade such availability. Virtute yet commends him, admitting she has grown enamored with the world he created, with its liveliness and diversity as opposed to the mundanity of void.If only he knew the aid to perfect his vision had existed for trillions of years prior to forsaking his devise, his Son. But he was fated to be clueless, fated to obey the universe. Because what is there to learn and improve from without history?And so she waited millenia for his trial, until opportunity finally came. The Thousand Year Blood War, and the awakening of the Son of Adnyeus– would she succeed in seeing her wish come to natural fruition?

4. King's Cape (Flashback)Little over a decade since Yhwach’s arrival into being, Vivian wanders the world of the living further away from her place of grief, far from Melissa’s home country, on to Germanic grounds. Within said place, she is met with the vision of a teenage Yhwach surrounded by folk, which once approached, disperse from him. Vivian finds this as an opening to have an introductory conversation with Yhwach, addressing his parentage, their names, their abilities. She expresses to Yhwach her views on Adnyeus’ behaviors.
Further into their discussion, the warmth from her presence and words overheats him too close to home, making him become avoidant. Despite that, noticing the unkempt state of his garments caused by his mishandling from those who palpated him as to gain power, she offers him her crimson cape to clothe his shoulders. This gesture once again does not move the boy tremendously, as he would rather inquire about her sudden appearance before him.
Upon her sharing her almost maternal fondness towards youth, Yhwach states he finds that unlikely for her race. To disperse his perplexion, he aims a subtle challenge: he claims that one day, their might will undeniably be on par. Which greatly amuses her as she, in exchange, offends him through tender infantilization.
Relentless in her insistence on his innocence, she shares something sudden and strange. That, looking at his boyish features, she wished that he had lived a life outside of being a drudge to his father’s shortcomings. When the Queen questioned if he wished to part from his future, which to her seemed like written in stone, the amount of knowledge she wielded confused him. Yet, he brushed that aside, demanding she stood away from him and his goal to kill his father. He adamantly claims not to require her help, that he can surpass the Celestials in his efficiency to achieve his goals, to shape the world. And then it clicked with her. He was right, in his own way. The world he partook was not hers to handle, his revenge was not hers to interfere with. But she made an oath to herself, from that day, a thousand years ago. She will be his guardian, and were he to fail, she would be there to rescue him as far as the Holy Book allows.
Their first departure is marked with Virtute offering him her blessings, appraising his rebellious nature, expressing her wonder towards who he would grow up to be, her desire to ally herself with him in the future. That only made him curious to look into the future. And to his surprise, due to her presence at that moment, the gears of time seem to have shifted. The cape she offered him will become a brief inspiration for his army’s attire, yet a permanent garment to clad his shoulders from that day forth. A symbol and a reminder.
Since then, she visited him once every Sunday prior to his dormancy, without the recollection of anyone else but Haschwalth Jugram.5. To live twiceRight as Yhwach arrived at Soul King’s encasement, he is stopped by the sight of a serene, yet devoted Heaven Matriarch, who stills Milky Way’s time to discuss with him. Yhwach instantly denied her interference, soon intending to threaten her with his sword, which was surprisingly unable to come into being due to her ability. The King was confused by her hindrance, expecting that she is using her powers for the sake of dominance. But instead, it is revealed that she made her appearance known to put an end to the bloodshed of a world she holds dear despite its flaws. She plans to take him to her realm, as he would more likely thrive within it. But he would stubbornly insist against that, as they exchange countering views. Their discussion is followed by an ultimatum offered by Virtute; that once his future -which she "read in the stars"- is sealed, she will clone and adopt his second cleansed and freeroaming self to be raised into an idyllic environment; that of her carefully crafted realm. A second chance at life; living twice. Living with the sight of four eyes; that of his sealed self, and that of his reformed one cleansed of sin through her Semita Nullius Reditus ability altogether. Once such occurs, he will live as a Celestial being of Andromeda’s Heaven with his sinless body. The light of stars awaits the forsaken son of chaos.

The events of his lifetime prior to his sealed state will transpire as normal, with none of Virtute’s lore hindering the canon storyline.
