Lunda

Lunda is the player god of Red Fruit and the Renards, a cautious strategist whose instinct for preserving options first makes her vulnerable to coercion, then enables the decisive betrayal that unifies the third continent, and ultimately develops into a commitment to harmony.

Biography

Defeat in the wilderness

Lunda enters the struggle for the third continent in a loose alliance with Crampus, sending Red Fruit’s Renard army against Black Scale while expecting his Satyrs to open a second front. Her calculations fail after Eldar feeds the alliance false information and contaminated supplies help force the Renards into retreat. Rather than abandon her creation Neji, Lunda possesses the commander Yubei through Divine Control and joins the fight against Sratis, wagering that her superior Divinity can destroy Night Sky’s creation before reinforcements arrive. (Chapters 59–61)

The wager collapses when Choi Sung-Woon, possessing Lakrak, reaches the battlefield sooner than Lunda expects. Neji is killed, and Lunda tries to disengage Divine Control while healing Yubei with a magically produced fruit, but the ten-second delay lets Sung-Woon kill the possessed body. Her Divinity falls so severely that Red Fruit’s miraculous orchards and harvest are endangered. She lies to Crampus about the extent of the loss because she fears that even an ally may turn on her once he knows how weak she has become. (Chapters 61–63)

A god between alliances

Sung-Woon discovers enough of Lunda’s weakness to force an extended, covert cooperation, yet their contact gradually becomes more than a single threat. They play Go across distant territories, exchange information, and discuss the changing war while Lunda remains publicly attached to the alliance surrounding Crampus. This double position suits her preference for keeping several routes open, but it also produces genuine guilt: by the time the five gods coordinate against Black Scale, she is already withholding the extent of her dealings with their enemy. (Chapters 66–109)

When the coming war makes neutrality impossible, Lunda privately asks Eldar to consider leaving Sung-Woon. She openly calculates which coalition is more likely to win and how Crampus, Wisdom, or Sung-Woon might react to her choices, yet admits that Crampus has grown on her and that betrayal would damage relationships she now values. Eldar reports the approach to Sung-Woon, leaving Lunda’s dilemma exposed: her political realism can model other people’s feelings, but cannot remove the emotional cost of using them as variables. (Chapter 111)

The betrayal of Red Fruit

Sung-Woon resolves Lunda’s indecision by threatening to expose and destroy her first if she remains with the five-god alliance. Lunda resents the coercion but accepts that his assessment of her is accurate and agrees to help. She defends AR1026 when Jang-Wan raises suspicions, ensuring that the accusation divides the alliance without being properly resolved. That maneuver lets Red Fruit’s army move beside Golden Eye’s under the innocent pretext of monitoring it, placing Lunda exactly where a sudden reversal will cause the greatest damage. (Chapters 126–128)

Lunda then uses Red Fruit’s faith and its Oracle of ripe fruit to make her soldiers accept a command to attack their allies. The surprise assault breaks Golden Eye’s force, while Lunda hides nearby and counters AR1026’s attempted Miracles. She later enters a Renard priest through Divine Control, survives AR1026’s furious retaliation because Lakrak targets the manifested god, and helps turn the coalition’s numerical advantage into defeat. The act brands her a traitor, but it also makes Red Fruit an ally of Black Scale and accelerates the continent’s political and religious unification under the Pantheon. (Chapters 128–143)

From harvest to harmony

Within the Pantheon, Lunda retains the worship of Red Fruit as Bountiful Harvest while working beside the gods she once deceived. Her conduct remains sociable and practical: she shares situation-room duty, contributes to strategic discussions, and intervenes when harsher personalities create unnecessary friction. The old opportunism does not disappear, but it is redirected toward keeping a coalition of former enemies functioning across wars that no single player can survive alone. (Chapters 143–191) (Chapters 216–288)

After the Sanctuary recognizes the players as Constellations, Lunda chooses Harmony as her Domain. The decision grows from her fear that the Hall of Myriad Stars, despite its institutions and freedoms, could still fracture as Avartin and the old gods once did. During the later Mafia game she creates a public contest that draws many Constellations into the same activity while concealing a larger cooperative plan. Her former habit of manipulating divided sides thus becomes a means of identifying and containing conflict inside a community she intends to protect. (Chapter 316) (Chapters 323–332)

Appearance and personality

Lunda’s divine avatar resembles an ordinary Human woman with long hair, a mole beneath her left eye, and a short white dress that exposes her shoulders and legs. She normally floats in the air while appearing as a god. Her followers, the Renards, know her through divine titles rather than this player identity, and later visual accounts continue to associate Bountiful Harvest with the same white dress. (Chapter 59) (Chapter 111) (Chapter 199)

She is expressive, teasing, and socially attentive, but also anxious about being trapped in a losing position. Lunda calculates not only military odds but how allies will feel about her, which lets her manipulate trust while making her unusually conscious of the harm she causes. She can be cowardly about admitting weakness and blunt about pursuing victory, yet affection for Crampus and concern for the Hall show that her instinct for self-preservation expands into a desire to preserve the relationships around her. (Chapters 59–63) (Chapter 111) (Chapter 127) (Chapters 316–327)

Powers and abilities

Small Area: Fruit

Lunda’s first Small Area is Fruit, the source of her original title, Fruition God. She can perform Miracles that create or sustain fruit and orchards, making the power central to Red Fruit’s food production and economy. During Divine Control she causes a red fruit to appear in nearby brush; eating it immediately heals the possessed Yubei’s wound. Maintaining large-scale agricultural Miracles depends on her Divinity and Faith, so her early level loss threatens an entire year’s harvest rather than merely reducing her combat strength. (Chapter 62) (Chapter 128)

Divine Control

Lunda can take direct possession of a follower and apply divine physical power through that body. In Yubei she tears off one of Sratis’s legs; in a later Renard priest she leaps across a river, throws a house-sized rock, moves too quickly for ordinary eyes to follow, and bends steel with her grip. The body remains vulnerable to a stronger divine manifestation, and disengagement is delayed. If the vessel dies before control ends, Lunda suffers an additional loss of level and Faith, making the technique powerful but personally dangerous. (Chapters 61–62) (Chapters 131–133)

Miracles, revelations, and counteraction

Like the other player gods, Lunda can issue revelations, spend Faith on Miracles, summon creations, and oppose another god’s active Miracles. Her most consequential revelation turns Red Fruit’s Ever Changing Flower into an Oracle: soldiers find their fruits ripe under a rule that tells them to betray their allies, giving a culturally legible divine command for the surprise attack. During the battle she also cancels AR1026’s attempted Miracles from hiding. These acts require believers and Faith; they do not grant automatic control over followers whose loyalties make a command incomprehensible. (Chapters 128–132)

Domain: Harmony

As a Constellation, Lunda chooses Harmony after the Hall of Myriad Stars is established. The source identifies her motive—to protect the Hall by excluding threats before minor conflicts become destructive—but does not define a discrete combat technique, range, or activation condition for the Domain. Her latest demonstrated use of harmony is therefore social and institutional: mediating disputes, widening participation, and arranging games that let opposed personalities interact under shared rules. (Chapters 323–332)

Power progression

Relationships

• Crampus: Lunda begins as his pragmatic ally, hides her catastrophic early weakness from him, and later admits that he has grown on her even while preparing to betray their coalition.
• Choi Sung-Woon: Sung-Woon first defeats and coerces Lunda, then relies on her information and betrayal; in the Hall, she respects his ability while remaining wary of his personality and influence.
• Eldar: Eldar deceives Lunda in the first Renard campaign and later receives her attempted recruitment away from Sung-Woon; they ultimately work together as Pantheon advisers and friends.
• AR1026: Lunda pretends to defend AR1026 so Red Fruit can approach Golden Eye, then destroys AR’s army and survives her attempt at revenge; much later they become friends in the Hall.
• Jang-Wan: Jang-Wan detects the alliance’s internal danger but misidentifies its source, allowing Lunda to use the accusation against her; they later cooperate within the Pantheon and Hall.
• Lakrak: Lakrak helps kill Lunda’s possessed vessel in their first battle, then saves her from AR1026 during the betrayal; she later treats him as a trusted participant in Hall affairs.
• Sratis: Lunda and Neji nearly dismantle Sratis in the wilderness, but the creation survives and becomes a lasting reminder of the defeat that placed her under Sung-Woon’s leverage.
