• Mystiqarium
After the events of the Celestial War, the Continent fell into delirium. For months there was flood and after the flood came the drought. The earth split and almost half of the population died.
It was on this documented day, that the atmosphere tore open and the nightmarish world known as The Abyss was introduced to mankind.
The realm was divided into five parts and the people were struggling to survive. The Gods were dead, killed by the sons of Oldmother, leaving the people in despair.
In time, a new rulership began and these sons known as the Celestials, took power over the five parts of the Continent.
Each part was called a Wing and each had three towns. The Five Celestials took a Wing each and were given the responsibility to rule as god over the given Wing and make sure the kingdom recovered from the plague they had caused.
----------------------------------
They were allocated as such:
☞The First Wing, housing the towns of Oldracken, Gullersville and Ido, is ruled by Obsidian, the God of Darkness.
☞ The Second Wing, housing the towns of Ryvenmere, Stavern and Gendivar, is ruled by Helios, the God of Fire.
☞ The Third Wing, housing the towns of Borba, Riverna and Axbell, is ruled by Atlant, the God of the Sea.
☞ The Fourth Wing, housing the towns of Romeria, Sandburg and Darkmount, is ruled by Atomos, the God of Existence.
☞ The Fifth Wing, housing the towns of Oridel, Sperton and Elara, is ruled by Glacius, the God of Weather.
These Celestials announced themselves as the New Gods and the people of every wing each god ruled had to worship that god. And they did.
In return, the Celestials blessed each of their Wings and protected them from outside harm. But there was a part of the Continent which no god ruled over, the desolate desert lands at the very ends of the realm, cursed from the war plague. This land is documented as the Heaths, and it housed the poorest of the Continent.
Heathian: A person from the Heaths, seen as a second hand citizen, poor and discriminated.
Gentlefolk: A person from the townish parts of the Continent, meaning someone from any of the Five Wings.
----------------------------------
POWER SYSTEM
In the continent, there are only two kinds of people who possess abilities. They are mages and bearers.
Mages: Mages' power are stemmed from history, potions, spells and a respectable relationship with the Celestials. They are usually much older than bearers and are categorised into ranks:
Messengers: Rank 1 Mages who can only relay messages to Celestials, beings in other realms, etc.
Travellers: Rank 2 Mages who can relay messages as well as travel to different realms and dimensions
Summoners: Rank 3 Mages who relay messages, travel to realms and also summon otherworldly beings and even Celestials from their own realms.
☞Spellforce: Spellforce is the magical element in the realm that can be tapped into by Mages to create magic. It is also used as a source of fuel for light and caravels.
----------------------------------
Bearers: Bearers are much different from Mages. They are usually younger as it is easier to tap into their core when the bearer is younger. Their powers are usually based on elements. There are two types of bearers:
Avatars: Avatars are bearers who have been granted powers from the Celestials/New Gods. They are the chosen human embodiment of Celestials and always bear the power the particular celestial has. Avatars were chosen to hunt down Hellbenders and destroy The Abyss.
Incarnates: Incarnates on the other hand were born with their powers. They are true blood descendants of the first humans who were blessed with powers from the Old gods. And so these powers passed down through family lines even after the death of the old gods and now humans with powers are scattered over the Realm. Incarnates only start to materialize their powers at teen age, around the same time when it's best to make someone an Avatar as well.
☞ Essence: (synonymous to mana) Essence is the element gotten from Gods and gifted to certain humans through Enlightenment. It is simply the core of a Bearer's power, both in Avatars and Incarnates. The stronger your Essence gets, the stronger the Bearer gets.
Essence usually gets stronger when Bearers do unknown or random powerful tasks like killing a beast or something of that magnitude.
☞ Influence: Influence is simply an ability. Influences are different ways in which a Bearer's given powers can be applied. In other words, different types of ways to use their powers are called Influences. A Bearer unlocks stronger and powerful Influences by strengthening their Essence which is done by completing tasks or hidden missions.
☞ Consequence: Consequence is the Bearer's flaw. As a Bearer strengthens their Essence by undertaking formidable tasks and unlocking Influences, there comes a delicate equilibrium. Consequence emerges as the shadow, the inherent flaw intertwined with the Bearer's power.
----------------------------------
Ranking Systems for Bearers:
ip: Influence Points are the measuring scale for a Bearer's power.
A Novice Bearer (an NVC) - [10ip to 150ip]
An Adept Bearer (an ADP) - [150ip to 300ip]
A Master Bearer (an MST) - [300ip to 500ip]
An Attuned Bearer (an ATN) - [500ip to 1000ip]
A Utopian Bearer (a UTP) - [1000ip to ∞ ]
