"The Curse of the Black Diamond"


An ancient fable from the forgotten sands of Shantara.

🌑 Prologue: The Birth of the Black Diamond


Before time had form, when light and darkness danced in equal silence, the world’s first sorrow was born. It was not death.

It was betrayal.


The goddess Velmira, spirit of stars and secrets, loved her twin, Solkar, the sun-lord. But he banished her to the void for fearing her growing shadow-magic. Heartbroken, Velmira tore out a piece of her soul and buried it in the obsidian heart of a dying star. From that union of rage and grief was born the Black Diamond, also called Velmira's Tear.

🕯️ Act I: The Kingdom That Dared


In the desert empire of Shantara, the diamond was unearthed by King Agnidhar, a ruler obsessed with eternal life. Against the warnings of the seers, he set the jewel atop his crown, declaring himself "Immortal Flame." At first, it worked—he stopped aging, his wounds healed, his enemies withered.


But the diamond whispered.


Every midnight, it showed him visions—his wife plotting poison, his son eyeing the throne, his generals sharpening blades. Real or illusion, he couldn’t tell. One by one, he killed them all. The palace became a tomb. His eyes turned black. His people fled.


Shantara became cursed. Sand swallowed its walls. Its name was lost to maps. Only the wind whispered: "He still lives beneath the sand, waiting."

🌌 Act II: The Thief of Twilight


Centuries later, a twilight rogue named Ilyana Nightleaf sought the diamond to cure her dying brother. She was no hero—just desperate. Legends guided her to the lost tomb. She navigated traps, visions, and illusions conjured by the diamond’s mind.


At the heart of the ruins, she found Agnidhar—neither dead nor living, his body a husk, his mind trapped in repeating memories.


The diamond tempted her too:


> “Take me. Save him. Rule time itself.”




She took it—and saw her past rewritten. Her brother lived. Her enemies bowed. She was queen.

But it was a lie. Just a dream crafted by the jewel.


She broke free only by shattering her reflection in its surface and dropping the diamond into the Abyss of Ash, a cursed pit where light dies.

🔚 Epilogue: Whispers in the Deep


They say the diamond still lives.

It doesn’t break. It waits.

Any who dream too greedily might hear it:


> "Velmira’s Tear… will grant your heart’s desire."




But the price is always the same: Your soul.

✒️ Want to Expand?


You could tie this to your Sharvarastra Universe:


The Black Diamond could be a Vaamgaami relic, tied to Vishara’s past.


Maybe it once belonged to a Danava or is linked to the Vault of Naraka.


It could be reforged into a crescent fragment, tempting the heroes.



Let me know if you’d like to merge this tale into your main saga or keep it as a standalone myth.

The Curse of Tundraal – Why Only 13 Can Enter

  Professor Chote Ram steps forward in the strategy room with ancient scrolls and holograms. > “This land is older than war,” he begins. “Tundraal is built on a pre-civilization tomb, once sealed by warrior-priests. Long ago, it was said a darkness was locked inside—a horde cursed to rise if disturbed. That’s what happened when the bunker teams went digging.” He places a cracked metallic relic on the table. > “The moment we sent more than 13 soldiers... they vanished. Not killed. Not captured. Gone. Erased from time—forgotten even by their families. Only the number thirteen is tolerated by this cursed land.” Chronospeter’s research logs confirm this: Any unit larger than 13 suffers from temporal displacement. Tech malfunctions. Memories reset. No signal escapes. The region becomes a loop of death. Commander Kanine adds: > “AEGIS sent drones. They exploded. Sent squads. They vanished. Sent 12... no response. Sent 14... full reset. But 13… they fought. Some survived. That’s ...
