The basic background on the world is
Background
The founders of the nations were once great friends. However, an argument drove them apart. Sadly, the exact details of said argument have been to time.
So, the founders ended up going their separate ways to colonize their nations.
One created the Nation of Magic, known as Viserium.
This founder was known as Wolsin.
One created the Nation of Tech, known as Algereh.
This founder was known as Oyth.
One created the Nation of Peace, know as Illigia.
This founder was known as Aerol.
Each nation coined its name from the dragon that once inhabited them. It is unclear where these dragons have gone.
Aerol convinced them all to sign a treaty, and they even managed to switch to friendly terms.
But after four generations, the Treaty is riding on thin ice Algereh thinks they could easily wipe out Viserium, and Viserium believes they could wipe out Algereh.
Tensions between the two powerful nations are on the rise. And, to make matters worse, bandit activity and skirmishes in the wilderness are on the rise.
Extra Notes
Note: Public technology is 1980-era mixed with Sci-Fi Most Sci-fi tech is located in the Tech kingdom though
There is no elemental magic, instead, it will be a magic system of which will likely include a more in-depth explanation in the sign-ups
Additionally, every mythical species exists
There is also a system I created to decide what character would win in a battle if two people can’t decide
Magic System and Tech Overview
Firstly Contra’s Magic System
- No Elemental Powers (Fire, Ice, and so on are not possible)
- There are three types of magic, Sigil, Arcana, and Potion
- Magic types can mix. For example, a spell can be considered both a Sigil and Arcana spell.
Sigil Magic
Sigil magic is the most valuable type of magic because it’s very well-paying and used a lot. Sigil magic can alter an object’s properties. Sigils on living things are forbidden.
Examples of basic sigils: Sigil of Durability would grant an object heightened durability
Sigil of Heat would make an object hot to the touch
It is very profitable because it takes a long time to master one sigil.
Arcana
Arcana is the most expansive and dangerous magic. It relies on condensed arcane energy, which is stored in a casting focuses. These casting focuses can be almost anything. A few individuals tap into their bodies to use as a focus. Additionally, some others use the arcane energy from fauna and flora around them. However, using arcane energy from living things is strictly forbidden since it can destroy those living fauna and flora.
Examples of Arcana can range from moving a cup a few meters to summoning a mansion.
Arcana takes a long time to learn, like sigil magic. However, unlike sigil magic, it is more versatile and is dispelled if the user is forcibly made unconscious.
Potions
Potions are great for an easy magic solution for a problem. Simple potions are easy to make as long as the individual follows the exact instructions. Higher potions, like body swap, would require a complex magic infusion to complete. Each magic infusion takes a long time to learn and is different for every high-tier potion. Lower potions only need their ingredients and the potion brewery.
Examples of lower potions are healing, speed, strength
Examples of high potions are long-lasting regeneration, Body Swap, and Accelerated Plant Growth
(You can decide what ingredients are used to make the potions that your character knows)
Tech Overview
This is a brief explanation of what tech makes sense for a character to have. Sci-fi is allowed for weapons and combat items. However, items such as cars and cell phones are still 1980, basically items that have little to do with combat.
If it’s something advanced, there has to be a reason the character has it. For example, taking the tech from Algereh’s lab or creating it themselves.
The more advanced it is, the more the character should be connected with Algereh.
Map
This is an old design of the map (a new one might be made soon) It was made by my friend SpaciousReality (Not on the forums so I can’t tag them but just to give proper credit)
