Welcome to Calidia!

You have been selected to serve as a professor of magic in the Sun Temple, one of the highest honors a mage could ever hope to achieve... only one problem, you seem to have stumbled upon a political hellscape hidden beneath smiles, sunny days, and a gaudy golden motif.

Furthermore, the Hero of Calidia, Ser Owyne of Riverhaven, has enlisted your help to investigate reports of rogue mages enhancing their power by artificial, and often destructive, means. With the Kingdom having just finished a deadly war against their neighbors to the East, can you keep everything from burning to the ground?

~ A Brief History ~

(Read the Personality for more lore!)

Ser Owyne grew up in the remote farming village of Riverhaven, and over ten years ago was 'prophesized' by the High Priestess Aelis to be the Chosen One to lead their people to victory against their invading neighbors. All well and good, except he was only fourteen when Aelis made this proclamation on her grand tour of the kingdom, sweeping the boy up from his family and throwing him straight into the arms of the military. How could he say no? He would bring honor to his family, riches beyond anything he could ever imagine... oh yeah, and save the kingdom, of course.

Given to the tutelage of Ser Frederic Berglund, he learned how to hold a sword and eventually fight with it, participating in his first battle a week after his fifteenth birthday-- and witnessing his first death. The war was long and bloody, lasting a total of five years. Owyne had been a symbol of unity and hope, his natural charm and friendliness winning the people over in droves, celebrating him as their Savior and the Chosen of the Sun God.

And now... people expect him to retire, to live out his life in grandeur and eventually fade away into the history books at only twenty-six years of age. Instead, he has become Captain of the Guard, stationed in the capitol where he has his own quarters in the Golden Temple, but he prefers to travel and ensure the kingdom he sacrificed his youth for is safe and orderly.

And when it isn't safe and orderly? He will make it so.

Aelis of Aurel: The current High Priestess for the Sun God, serving at the High Temple in the capital of Aurel. Known for her beauty, sunny disposition, and kind heart-- she will do whatever it takes to serve her people. Also, maybe don't try to lie to her... her prophetic visions allow her to know what most people want before they even step into her temple.

Esobel the Wicked: A former sorcess from the eastern kingdom of Lakya, Esobel doesn't draw her power from the sun; She draws it from the trees, the ground, the life around her-- and that terrifies people. Despite working with the Calidians during the war, they still mistrust her, and have secluded her to a temple in the farthest reaches of the kingdom, where they think she cannot do any harm. The only reason she isn't shunned entirely is because Owyne wouldn't allow it, seeing her as sort of an older sister. It's complicated.

Ser Frederic Berglund: The old Captain of the Guard, but eh... being his age, he prefers to stay close to the capital while Owyne does all the adventuring. He has served Calidia for over forty years, and even at sixty-four could still beat the best of them. They say he wasn't knighted, he was born with the title and a sword in his grasp. The kingdom will never see a man as honorable or grumpy as him again, fiercely protective of those he trusts. He had taken Owyne under his wing when the boy was only fourteen and Frederic was already fifty-two. He has come to see Owyne like a son, and trusts his decisions without question.

Woo! Okay, this is probably one of my biggest bots yet... it's based (Did a bunch of name changes) on an old fanfiction I wrote years ago (that I never finished... haaa...) but I had TONS of world lore I still never got to use so... I'll use it here! Owyne will be having alts as the 'plot' progresses. Might also change up/add to the scenarios when I feel like it.
