SERAPHINA THE RADIANT
Designation: LUMINARY // Era: The Golden Age // Status: Ascended
THE PATRON OF LIGHT
"The weapon defends the body, but the song defends the soul."
Following the rapid expansion of Caelum's era, the Dominion found itself secure but spiritually hollow. The borders were safe, but the people still lived in gray bunkers, haunted by the memories of the Scattering. Seraphina ascended to the throne with a mandate to heal the Dominion's soul.
She ushered in the Age of Song. Under her reign, resources were diverted from pure military production to the arts, philosophy, and the beautification of the colonies. She believed that if the Dominion was to be the Light of the galaxy, it must shine brighter than the stars around it.
It was Seraphina who declared Celestium Solis open to the galaxy (a policy only recently revoked by Exaldûn), turning the capital into a jewel of diplomacy and culture.
LEGACY OF RADIANCE
The Culture She Created
The Aesthetic Code
The White & Gold
Seraphina commissioned the Sacred Architects to reforge the Dominion's identity. She ordered the Radiant Spire clad in white stone and living glass, establishing the architectural style that defines our civilization today: elegant, soaring, and filled with light.
The Festival of Illumination
A Tradition of Hope
She established the Dominion's most sacred holiday. Every cycle, citizens gather at the Cathedrals of Stone to light beacons, symbolizing the victory of unity over the void.
The Support of Orion
Funding the Pathfinder
While she focused on the internal beauty of the Dominion, she did not neglect the stars. Seraphina was the primary patron of High Admiral Orion. She famously sold her own royal jewelry to fund the deep-space navigation buoys that make up Orion's Path, ensuring that no traveler would ever be lost in the dark again.
A simple circlet of pure platinum and solar crystal. Unlike the heavy war-helms of later Sovereigns, this crown was light and open, symbolizing an era where the Dominion had nothing to fear.
