Descarxos

Descarxos is a fictional celestial body appearing in the "Aethelgardian Chronicles," a series of epic fantasy novels by author Elara Vance. Within the narrative, Descarxos is depicted as a rogue planet, a celestial wanderer that drifts through the cosmos on an unpredictable and often perilous trajectory. Its appearance is said to be marked by a chilling, ethereal glow, a phenomenon attributed to residual magical energies from an ancient, cataclysmic event.

The planet's lore suggests it was once a vibrant world, home to a highly advanced civilization that delved too deeply into forbidden arcane arts. This pursuit led to their downfall, transforming their once-lush planet into a desolate, magic-scarred wasteland. The inhabitants of Descarxos are believed to have either perished or been irrevocably altered by the catastrophe, becoming spectral entities or monstrous beings.

In the Aethelgardian narrative, Descarxos is not merely a backdrop but an active force. Its erratic orbit poses a constant threat to inhabited star systems, sometimes passing close enough to disrupt celestial alignments or unleash waves of wild magic. Characters within the chronicles often undertake quests to understand Descarxos's nature, seek lost artifacts from its fallen civilization, or attempt to divert its path to save their own worlds. The planet serves as a symbol of unchecked ambition and the dangerous consequences of tampering with primal forces. Its presence adds an element of cosmic horror and mystery to the Aethelgardian universe.
