First Draft of the Continent's Map, it has been a while since I’ve drawn a map so i may have forgotten some geographic rules, i made the first draw on hand (hence the terrible handwriting) and made an AI do a makeover for now, obvious temporary.

Decided to make this Not-bot as a way to give a sneak peak on what i am doing and to set in stone what i should be doing. this one will be keep up for anyone that wish to read it, and if it's too much text... what did you expect? the whole point is that it's a bunch of text lol

Everything is prone to change since it's still WIP

1993: Reika Yukawa, age fourteen at the time, arrives from a realm she refers as "The Modern World", teleported to the countryside of Roveria by an unknown force, retroactively, many speculated ancient magic was responsible for it, Reika is taken in under the wing of a roaming mage known as Rhodes d’Clovis, who felt the phenomenon that summoned her as he was close by.

⛓️—————————————————⛓️—————————————————⛓️

1995: The war is won by Lothaire Bourbon, who defeats the chivalric legions of his two prince brothers, Odos and Eudes, on the Fields of Ruria while being outnumbered four to one, a feat many attributed it to the general Ulysses Solidor, Lothaire's second in command.

Said victory sends waves throughout the nation, as many view it as a sign of providence in favor of Lothaire, who then marches on capital Roveris and decimates the senate that supported his brothers. Lute d'Roveris, Hugo d'Brasia, and their sister Estoria Clermont forgo their claims in favor of Lothaire's, the Roverrian imperium is reestablished and Lothaire is crowned "Empereur des Roverria"

1996: Reika became renowned throughout the Empire by her "visionary ideas" and "inventions", including the bra, which became a major seller across the continent.

She then comes under the tutelage of Archmage Lawrence d'Arques, at the advice of Rhodes, who in turn finances her endeavors and together both founded the first industrial city atop the border town of Casses, which is renamed as Geartown, or Engrenbourg,

1996, near the year's eve: the emperor signs the first act of the "Man over World" Proposal, inspired by the innovations brough about by Geartown. The decree proposes the regulation of magic as a whole, with particular emphasis on arcane practitioners and supernatural creatures, the Senate postpones it to 1997.

⛓️—————————————————⛓️—————————————————⛓️

1997: The proposal is reformed, but passed, Magisters from the Ministry of Justice began seeking mages to register them, with only warlocks and maleficae being actively hunted by the those now derogatorily known as “Magi Hunters”, while the hunts themselves are named "Cullings"

Following the passing, The Covenant of Magi, which remained strongly opposed to proposal since its conception, offers sanctuary at Madrigal to all arcane practitioners. An act that raises tension between the Covenant and the Imperial forces, Archmage Lawrence himself abandons the Covenant in support of the emperor, becoming a Lord-Judge in the Ministry of Justice, and joining the Infernal Squad, whose command he would soon assume in hunts against the maleficae

⛓️—————————————————⛓️—————————————————⛓️

1998: Geartown doubles its size. During the city’s anniversary and hosting of the first World's Fair, Reika is target of an assassination attempt by a (allegedly) rogue sect of the former Trading Guild of Casses, which was spoiled by the Infernal Squad that was doubling has her bodyguards at the time.

The first aircraft, tilled “Helepolides” takes flight over Geartown a week later at the end of the Fair.

Railroads connected Roveris and Geartown. During autumn of the same year, the kingdoms of Brasis and Arkios accept partial annexation in exchange for industrial investment and military protection, while the far north frontier-country of Rhandar is invaded by unknown tribesmen preaching about the “end of the world”, but they vanish near the winter without leaving a trace.

Following the disaster, magical fissures begin worm the skies near the desolated coast and demons begin to pour forth in massive numbers, no one knows what was the actual catalyst that caused the crisis.

A week after, the "Man Over World" Proposal is rewritten urgently, and made into a Decree, giving it more authority and so, every non registered magic practitioner, whether maleficae or not, may be imprisoned, conscripted, or killed if they resist.

A month after, the Adventurers’ Guild is nationalized by the Empire, becoming a branch of the Ministry of Justice

In the seventh month of 1999, four months after Clovia’s destruction, the horde of demons is gathered by an unexpected Dark Lord, who is titled “Heresiarch” for suspicions of him being a warlock, or maleficae

2002: The Battle of Red Harvest.

Lasting over two full days of skirmishes and maneuvering on both sides, the massive battle saw the skies aboveits wheat fields stained red by fire, while the soil and grain were brushed crimson with blood.

Twelve Imperial Legions were annihilated, but three of the Heresiarch's Archons were slain, two by Lawrence himself, and one by the remaining six members of the Infernal Squad, of whom four fell in battle while the other two were left too grievously wounded ever to fight again.

The demon hordes were forced into retreat.

In recognition of his deeds, Lawrence was soon elevated to the rank of Gran-Judge.

Though hailed as mankind's greatest victory since the beginning of the Holy War, Red Harvest left the Imperial Army so depleted that few believed it could survive another battle of similar scale.
