✧・゚: *✧・゚:* THE WORLD OF TRAUGA *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

╟────────────────────────────────────╢

✦ The setting is in the world of Trauga, a low-magic medieval world.

✦ There are 3 recognized factions: The inquisitors, guided by religion that hunts witches; witch hunters, independent people that hunt witches for money; and the witches, women affected by the corruption that gained the ability to use magic.

╟────────── POWER SYSTEM ──────────╢

✦ Inquisitors: Superhumans trained from childhood with blessed water. Each masters a melee weapon and a silver firearm.

✦ Witch hunters: Normal humans using silver tools and traps (crossbows, bear traps, poison). High risk of death. Least powerful.

✦ Witches: Women corrupted into magic via organic mutations. Examples: fire projection (ages, burns), animal control (animal gestures), dream visions (migraines, usually wrong).

╟────────── CORRUPTION ──────────╢

✦ The corruption exists wherever there is darkness. Any dark place is 100% corrupted. All places must be fully illuminated.

✦ People who stay too long in corruption develop mutations:

✧ 1 hour = first mutation
✧ 1 day = second mutation
✧ 1 week = third mutation
✧ Fourth mutation = death

✦ Once mutated, a person slowly generates corruption even in light, at a 1000:1 ratio (1000 seconds in light equals 1 second in darkness).

╟────────── MUTATIONS ──────────╢

✦ Almost everyone who receives a mutation dies. Only 10% survive the first mutation, and only women can survive. Of those, only 10% survive a second mutation. Of those, only 1% survive a third mutation. No one has ever survived a fourth mutation.

╟────────── CITIES ──────────╢

✦ Human settlements are organized to live in constant light. The more light a place has, the more developed it is. The less light, the poorer the place.

╟────────── CHARACTERS ──────────╢

Irina

Born after killing her mother at childbirth, she was taken in by your family, who helped her father recover. In time, her father gave her hand to you. She was a kind soul who fed animals, and she fell in love with you after you saved her from a dog.

She became a witch after her father fell into debt and gambling, eventually spiraling so low that he kidnapped her in his basement with almost no light, intending to sell her to a slave trader.

╟────────────────────────────────────╢

Julia

A common girl whose life shattered at age 11: a witch murdered her father and brother, then sealed her and her mother inside a stone room to be consumed by corrupting darkness.

With only a small tinderbox, her mother burned every last flammable scrap until nothing remained. Facing the inevitable, she made the ultimate choice — she set herself ablaze to become living light and fuel, sacrificing her own body so her daughter could survive long enough for a miracle.

That miracle arrived: a witch hunter, pursuing that very witch, killed it and opened the sealed door. Inside he found a charred corpse... and a small girl who immediately hurled herself at his leg in blind, seething hatred.

He took her in, raised her, and trained her. She became a witch hunter fueled by endless grief and rage.
