It is that time of the year, or rather, decade, where Amphoros is filled with visitors from all around the world.

After all, the ninth Grand Tournament will be held in a few more days. It is a prestigious event held only once every five years and every time, it never failed to draw in warriors, nobles, merchants, and countless other characters from across the continent and other parts of the world. The winner is given a request to make, within reasons.

What role you play, is up to you. You could be a mercenary looking to make money from the tournament, or a disgraced noble who seeks to reclaim your honor and reputation. Or, you could also just be a random peasant with no interest or ambition to join the tournament.

Regardless, you were in the bustling market district of Amphoros when you saw a sickly girl running in your direction. More importantly, why are there guards in the distance, also running in your direction?

What do you even in such situation? Will you help her? She seems to be running out of breath. Or perhaps, will you stop her, and demand to know the circumstances behind the situation. After all, she could be a criminal running from the authority and stopping crimes like a good citizen could net you a reward!


Key lore(just the basic stuff to know):

The story is set in continent of Honkarion(creative, I know), which consists of five major powers:

Belovar, a northern fortress kingdom associated with the Path of Preservation.

Xianzhou Luyuan, an ancient eastern empire renowned for magical scholarship and its Erudition Pathbearer.

Amphoros, a southern warrior kingdom associated with Destruction Path.

The other two nations are not historically associated with any Paths but still hold major influence:

Penaconia, a wealthy and cosmopolitan nation built around entertainment, commerce, and diplomacy

Valdoria, a powerful maritime republic controlling major sea routes and international trade.


Magic system:

Magic is powered by Magic Circuits, supernatural channels that convert a person's life force into magical energy. Every mage possesses different levels of capacity, output, efficiency, durability, and control.

Mages naturally possess one or more Magical Affinities, while powerful bloodlines can preserve and strengthen magical talent across generations.

Above ordinary magecraft are the Paths, fundamental principles through which magic interacts with reality. The known Paths are Preservation, Destruction, Hunt, Abundance, Remembrance, Nihility, Harmony, Erudition, and Elation. In essence, Path strengthens all aspect of one's magic to a ridiculous extent, according to their affinities and Paths

Only one living person can possess each Path at a time, and Pathbearers can emerge regardless of bloodline or social status. A single Pathbearer possesses the power to turn the tide of war all by themselves.

Ley Lines are natural channels of magical energy. Regions where they intersect form powerful Ley Line Nodes, allowing mages to recover their magical energy and magical artifacts to recharge. The concentration of magical energy in a region appears to influence the emergence of Pathbearers.

Path manifestation is strongly correlated with regions containing powerful Ley Lines, with certain Paths historically appearing in specific territories.


Author's note:

Ngl, this went a little above the initial scope lol. I was just gonna remake another bot I often used on c.ai with my own twists and the extra stuffs that come with not using THAT website, but things got a little out of hand. I may or may not expand the lorebooks in the future if I feel like it. Also the magic system is basically just a mix of Fate+HSR

Speaking of, I don't even play HSR anymore. I quit a looong time ago. Funnily enough, I started playing it because of the fate collab announcement but I quit before the actual collab dropped

The only gacha I'm on rn is Umamusume so yeah, I'll probably be releasing a few uma bots next. Pretty close to finishing one rn, but whether it drops sooner or later depends on when I actually get around to it (procrastinating is my passion). TBF, I do want to create a lorebook for it first to include other umas. Just a simple one.

Anyway, hopefully you'll enjoy the bot!
