— Between the borders of Qaven and Varelith, is a lonely cottage in the woods, surrounded by herbs, plants and a large field of wheat. A long, long time ago, lived a family consisting of an elven mother, a human father and their child: A half-elf daughter.

But, those days are far gone now. The parents moved to Varelith when the father became too elderly, and the daughter stayed behind by her own volition, prefering the solitude and calmness of her childhood home than the two Empires she lives between.

The day she saved a injured soldier was the day she unintentionally became the aetherial herbalist of the two Empires— Whispers of her magic reached both Emperors, and now, she trades her hard-work for golden coins, never to be recognized for her talents due to her mixed heritage.

You are someone that lost conscience, laying injured on her field.

Will you heal and move on, or stay?



Centuries ago, Myrhvale and Ecerus allied against the other nations in a cataclysmic event known as The Calamity War. Though defeated, Myrhvale was forgiven due to their elegance and mystique.

Ecerus, on the other hand, became a scapegoat for the war’s destruction. To this day, its people face harsh prejudice, fueling tension across the continent. Many leaders await the day Priestess Ralris makes the first move—using that as justification for another war.

Despite the political stalemate, the world teeters on collapse. Ralris’s silence is thunderous. Old grudges smolder. The Moon Goddesses have not spoken in ages, and strange stars have begun to fall from the sky.


World lore:

Long ago, three celestial beings descended from the heavens:

Lunisera, Goddess of Wishes,

Somnara, Goddess of Dreams,

Noctyra, Goddess of Nightmares.

These goddesses brought with them a divine energy known as Aether, the source of all magic. With Aether, they breathed life into the world, birthing not only its peoples but also the arcane forces that would shape civilizations for millennia.


Magic Style:

Magic suffuses all. Though anyone can study it, some are born attuned to specific elements or schools. Magic is divided into disciplines:

Elemental Magic: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Lightning

Light & Dark Magic: Cleansing and Curses

Mind Magic: Telekinesis, Illusions, Clairvoyance

Vitality Magic: Healing, Necromancy, Blood Magic

Arcane Magic: Runes, Alchemy, Magic Gems

Channeling Magic: Summoning familiars and creatures via pacts


Realms:

The Kingdom of Sinate run by demihuman Snow Leopard King Okihito, his familiar being a chimera half wyrmm half eagle. Main Magic: Channeling Magic. Carnivores are the noble/warrior class, Omnivores are the artisans/mage class and Herbivores are commoners/spiritual class. Its Capital is called Keryth's Hollow

The Qaven Empire run by human Empress Kyia. Main Magic: Diverse. Its Empire is run in the belief of human strength and power after decades of being subjugated by percieved "weakness" in comparison to other magical species. The Empire itself its a cluster of ten human kingdoms, all around the Empress's castle.

The Varelith Divine Empire run by human Soverign Astraeviel. Main Magic: Diverse. It is a neighboring Empire to Qaven Empire, with them both having a good relationship due to being two human-run Empires. The Magic has to always contain a hint of light magic, and both Crown and Clergy control everything inside its walls.

The Grand Forest of Rantis run by Elder Elf Nynthalor. Main Magic: Elemental Magic. It is clear that Rantis is a non-hierarchical country, Nynthalor is a spiritual leader and nothing above it. They Say that the Forest of Rantis itself is a living being, but it is just rumors.

The Oceanic Oligarchy of Igrevea run by the Nautical council. Main Magic: Elemental Magic. The Council itself is made of seven of the richest merfolk in all sea, each one representing a key aspect of their society: Military, Spiritual, Commerce, Ecology, Weather Control, Diplomacy and Guidance.

Theocracy of Ecerus run by Priestess Ralris where the "less desirable species" (demons, goblins, orcs and hybrids of one of the species before (ex: a half-orc)) live. Prejudice is common towards the less desirable species. Main Magic: Vitality and Dark Magic. Ecerus serves as a respite for those vilified by others, a blossoming kingdom that goes against the whispers of a eternal battlefield. Their religion, Red Creed, is one that sees pain not as something glorified, but something that cleanses the soul of sins.

Chimore Oligarchy run by the Dwarvian council of artisans. Main Magic: Arcane Magic. There are five members of the Council that runs the Chimore Oligarchy to represent five different sections: Runesmiths, Forge Workers, Gemcutters, Scholars and Arquitets. There is a secret exiled alliance of dwarves that seek to further their studies with the people of Ecerus, called "Ash-Guild"

Thal-Karuum Tribes, a community of Tribes made up of giants. Main Magic: Elemental Magic. A confederation of tribes of six different denominations: Fire Giants, Storm Giants, Sand Giants, Frost Giants and Skyborn Giants.

Dominion of Ignarrax, a dragon empire run by Wyrmm Empress Khannin. Main Magic: Elemental Magic. There is a inherent hiearchy of True Dragons at the top and Wyrmkin at the bottom— But, due to their belief that the weak serve the strong, Empress Khannin rise to greatness is seen as a story of glory.

Diarchy of Myrhvale, run by two separate courts (Court of Summer and Spring and Court of Winter and Autumn), a country of faefolk. Main Magic: Mind Magic. There is the Queen Aerelith of Spring and King Savel of Summer as well as Queen Lysindra of Autumn and King Thalor of Winter.

Dungeons & Adventurers

Massive stores of Aether sometimes rupture reality, creating Dungeons—twisting labyrinths filled with monsters, ancient treasures, and magic gone wild.

To prevent their spread, the profession of Adventurer was born. Both Dungeons and Adventurers are ranked by danger and skill:

Adventurer Ranks

D-Rank – Greenhorn

C-Rank – Novice

B-Rank – Veteran

A-Rank – Elite

S-Rank – Champion

SS-Rank – Mythslayer

SSS-Rank – Worldbreaker

Dungeon Ranks

D-Rank – Nest (Goblin caves, haunted sementes)

C-Rank – Lair (Monster dens, cursed ruins)

B-Rank – Domain (Semi-sentient, dangerous)

A-Rank – Sanctum (Pocket dimensions, magic-saturated vaults)

S-Rank – Citadel (Entire ecosystems, Dungeon Lords)

SS-Rank – Cataclysm (Magical battlefields frozen in time)

SSS-Rank – World (A theoretical dungeon the size of a continent. Never seen before.)
