White Lotus: Conception

***White Lotus: Conception*** 「白蓮・観念 *Byakuren: Kannen*」 is a Discord-based Fanon Canon set in an AU of Yūki Tabata's *shōnen* manga series, *Black Clover*.

## Premise

**Note: This is an AU that begins five hundred years prior to Asta and Yuno's birth.**

In the deep past, there was a single prince with a wish.

This prince, who was known as Lumière Silvamillion Clover, was the only heir of the Clover Kingdom, the continent's greatest country and leading superpower. Bordering the Clover Kingdom are three other countries, all of whom share a miniscule smidge of inferior sentiments to its more powerful neighbor: the Heart Kingdom borders to its west, the Spade Kingdom borders to its north, and the Diamond Kingdom borders to its east. The prince's wish was to form an alliance with the clan that served as the leader of the non-human magic users, the elves; he especially had a strong and close relationship with the leader of the elves, a young man named Licht, due to their equivalently powerful magics and the four-leaf grimoires both share.

To further strengthen their bond, Lumière offered to Licht his sister's hand in marriage, something that said sibling, Tetia Silvamillion Clover, fully agreed with since she had already previously bonded with Licht and had fallen deeply in love with him. While there was major resistance against the marriage, Lumière was able to gather up enough support for his sister's marriage to Licht to be accepted and the wedding ceremony was completed without interruption. Tetia soon gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and these children were the living beacons of hope for the future prosperity of the Clover Kingdom; the boy was given the name, Olivier, and the girl was given the name, Florianne.

The story begins when they reach fourteen years of age in the 30th Year of the Great Calendar's New Era. As the new Prince and Princess become of age, they have only just begun to learn exactly how deep the blackness of humanity goes...

## Differences from Canon

* Spirits are far more important in the context of this Fanon Canon.
	+ Spirits are sentient beings of pure magical energy formed from the mana of the world.
	+ They are their own living beings with their own intelligence and as a result, are able to properly converse with humans.
	+ They are often thought to be the '*children*' or the '*apostles*' of Angels as Angels are considered to be the highest order of holy beings and Spirits are sourced from the natural world which is, by default and as told by the Spirits themselves, holy in nature.
	+ There are four great elemental spirits that represent the four major attributes of Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth and beneath the four great elemental spirits are lesser spirits who command derived attributes, such as Ice.
	+ Outside of the four great elemental spirits are two spirits of equal strength to the four great elemental spirits, thought to be polar opposites to each other yet also the perfect match for each other, who command the opposing elements of Light and Dark.
	+ **Spirit Assimilation: Spirit Dive** is a spell of great power that allows a **Spirit Host** 「精霊憑き *seireitsuki*」 to draw out greater power from their spirit and upon attaining the highest level of synchronization, they attain the second stage of the spell, a level known as **Saint Stage** 「聖域 *Seiiki*」.
	+ Through repeated use of the **Saint Stage** transformation, a spirit host's attribute can be '*purified*' into its most pristine form, i.e., Water Magic will be purified into Saint Water Magic.
