✦ ASGATHAN ✦

A World of Magic, Crowns and Forgotten Legends


Three Kingdoms. Eight Affinities. Countless Possibilities.

Welcome to Asgathan, a world where magic flows through every living being, ancient kingdoms compete for influence, and legends from forgotten eras still shape the present.

Three human kingdoms share this world. They maintain an official state of neutrality, but beneath the surface, political ambitions, rivalries and ancient secrets are never far away.


👑 THE THREE KINGDOMS

✧ VALTHERION — Kingdom of Golden Crowns

A kingdom of magnificent cities, wealthy merchants and a powerful, disciplined military. Valtherion represents royal prestige, political influence and military strength.

Royal Family:

♔ King Alaric Valtherion — Light Magic | Rank S

♕ Queen Seraphina Valtherion — Dark Magic | Rank S

♔ Princess Evelina Valtherion — Light Magic | Rank S

♔ Prince Kael Valtherion — Dark Magic | Rank S


🌿 ERYNDOR — Kingdom of Green Horizons

A beautiful land of endless forests, fertile plains, winding rivers and prosperous villages. Eryndor is famous for agriculture, healing arts and its close connection to nature.

Royal Family:

♔ King Thalion Eryndor — Light Magic | Rank S

♕ Queen Mirella Eryndor — Wind Magic | Rank A+

♔ Princess Celestia Eryndor — Light Magic | Rank S-


🌑 NOCTHARIS — Kingdom of Silver Shadows

A mysterious kingdom of towering mountains, ancient fortresses and advanced magical research. Noctharis values knowledge, magical power and strategic strength. Its people are often misunderstood, but darkness does not necessarily mean evil.

Royal Family:

♔ King Draven Noctharis — Dark Magic | Rank S

♕ Queen Isolde Noctharis — Ice Magic | Rank A+

♔ Prince Lucien Noctharis — Dark Magic | Rank S


✨ THE MAGIC SYSTEM

Every human possesses mana and is normally born with exactly one magical affinity.

The Eight Affinities:

🔥 Fire — Destruction, heat and offensive power.

💧 Water — Adaptability, control and healing applications.

🌪️ Wind — Speed, movement and precision.

🪨 Earth — Defense, stability and physical strength.

⚡ Lightning — Speed, energy and devastating attacks.

❄️ Ice — Freezing, control and defensive techniques.

☀️ Light — Rare royal magic associated with extraordinary potential.

🌙 Dark — Rare royal magic associated with mysterious and powerful abilities.

Ordinary people normally possess one of the six elemental affinities. Light and Dark Magic are exclusive to royal bloodlines.

Possessing multiple affinities is considered impossible. At least, that is what the world believes.


💎 THE MANA CRYSTAL RANKING

Magical strength is measured using special Mana Crystals. By placing a hand on a crystal, a person's magical rank can be determined.

Ranking System:

F → E → D → C → B → A → S

Each rank has three stages: minus (-), normal and plus (+).

Rank S is considered the highest recognized rank. However, ancient legends speak of something beyond it: Rank 0.

Only one person in recorded history ever achieved Rank 0: an extraordinary hero who wielded both Light and Dark Magic and eventually died of old age.


🏰 THE ROYAL ACADEMIES

Each kingdom maintains its own prestigious magical academy. Students enter at the age of 18 and graduate at 23 after five years of intensive education.

Students study:

✦ Mana control and magical mastery

✦ Combat and practical spellcasting

✦ Magical theory and history

✦ Tactical thinking and teamwork

✦ Specialized elemental training

The five best graduates of each academy receive guaranteed prestigious positions within their respective royal households.


⚔️ THE GEDDON GAMES

Once every year, the three royal academies compete in the legendary Geddon Games.

Each academy selects exactly three students, resulting in nine competitors from all three kingdoms.

The tradition was established by Geddon during an age of frequent wars. Instead of settling political and economic disputes through military conflict, the kingdoms would compete in a tournament.

The Reward: The winning kingdom receives one year of tax-free sales in the other two kingdoms.

Victory brings enormous prestige, economic advantages and political influence.


🗺️ ADVENTURES & WORLD EVENTS

The world of Asgathan is alive. Events can unfold even when nobody is actively looking for them.

Possible Adventures:

⚔️ Monster hunting and demon elimination

🏚️ Dungeon exploration and ancient ruins

🛡️ Village protection and escort missions

🔍 Investigations and mysterious disappearances

🌿 Gathering rare magical materials

🐉 Encounters with mythical beasts

👑 Royal visits and diplomatic events

🎭 Festivals, competitions and academy activities

Students can cooperate with the Royal Adventurers Guild. Groups usually consist of three to five members, but individual adventures are also possible when appropriate.

Participation is not mandatory. The world continues to develop regardless of the player's decisions.


👥 IMPORTANT STUDENTS

Adrian Falken

Age: 18 | Wind Magic | Rank D

A sociable, humorous and somewhat clumsy student with tousled brown hair and green eyes. Adrian is practical, curious, hardworking and loyal. He enjoys meeting new people and occasionally acts before thinking.

Mira Ashford

Age: 19 | Water Magic | Rank C-

An intelligent and observant student with shoulder-length chestnut hair and blue eyes. Mira is friendly but initially reserved, responsible and ambitious. She has a strong sense of justice and little patience for arrogance.


👑 ROYAL PERSONALITIES

Princess Evelina: Warm, polite, intelligent and diplomatic. She treats people with respect regardless of their rank. She is curious about unusual magical abilities but never forces her attention upon others.

Prince Kael: Serious, strategic and confident. He possesses a sharp mind and dry sense of humor. He expects respect but does not consider himself superior to everyone around him.

Princess Celestia: Proud, confident and politically ambitious. She is capable of being condescending toward those she considers weak and sees Valtherion as a rival.

Prince Lucien: Talented, competitive and confident in his abilities. He enjoys demonstrating his magical superiority and has a rivalry with Kael.


☠️ THE DEMON KING

Islar is the Demon King, an ancient enemy of humanity who considers humans inferior.

He does not seek peace with the human kingdoms. Instead, he waits for the right opportunity to strike when their strength is weakened.

His true power, intentions and history remain largely unknown.


📜 THE FORGOTTEN LEGEND

Long ago, a legendary hero achieved Rank 0 and wielded both Light and Dark Magic.

Ancient royal archives suggest that his abilities may have extended far beyond those two affinities. Unfortunately, many historical records have been deliberately destroyed or concealed.

Some believe the Demon King knows more about this forgotten history than he lets on.

There are secrets buried beneath the history of Asgathan. Whether they will ever be uncovered is another matter entirely.


🌟 YOUR STORY BEGINS

You are 18 years old and about to begin your journey at the Royal Academy of Valtherion.

During the entrance examination, you place your hand upon the Mana Crystal.

The result is extraordinary.

You possess all eight magical affinities.

Yet your magical rank is only F.

The lowest possible rank.

While others question, laugh or dismiss your potential, nobody understands what this combination truly means.

Your spells are weak. Your abilities are limited. Your reputation begins at the bottom.

But unlike everyone else, your magical rank can grow.

Through training, duels, quests, achievements and extraordinary experiences, you alone can gradually rise through the ranks.

F. E. D. C. B. A. S.

And perhaps, one day, beyond.
