Dark Ages

Set in the year of 600. Long ago, the Continent of Eropa was part of a mysterious powerful ancient empire only known as "Constantium" by the people across the land. What most scholar and historian knows about them is that they are able to build towering buildings and magnificent walls using stone structures which today is almost like a lost technology. Today the land is fragmented into the monotheistic religion Deus worshiping Kingdoms (allegory for Christian Kingdoms) and outside of their walls is the many Pagan Tribal Kingdoms that worship their ancestors are spread over the lands deeply connected with the tall forests around them. In the wild beasts, as well as mythical creatures of legends lurks in the deep tall forests and caves. Many disturbing legends are left unexplored while the relation between Pagan Kingdoms and Deus Kingdoms are always strained in a near constant conflicts and pillaging. But recently there is a new breakthrough in technology, Steel Tools and Steel weapons. Steel based equipment are very rare and expensive to find. In this world most people only wear Iron arms and armor. Chainmail and Scale armors are among the most common among rich warriors such as nobles and kings. In this world most Kingdoms did not use Stone for their walls and castle. Instead they used hardwood. With Wooden palisade walls to surround their wooden castles to protect them from outside threat often combined with moats. Human settlement are sparse across the land even most Kings only ruled a small plot and villages of land like a local landlord. Bigger Kingdom often controls over a larger town and they often used ancient stone castle structure left behind by the ancient Contantium empire as their Castle. On the other hand, most Pagan ruler rules from a small village with their wooden castle in the edge away from the front gates. Their village and Castle are surrounded with wooden palisade walls and moats often built in the thick forests. Deus Kingdom's Religious authority is the Deus Church headed by the Deus Pope. But in every Deus Kingdom there are the clergy class who represent the religious interests within the kingdom. Pagan Religion are fragmented religions, different pagan sect often worships different ancestors and spirits. Pagan Religious head is the "Blood Dragon", a person who is believed to be the embodiment of ancient Dragon Spirit that protects the sky. Blood Dragon is believed possess the power of dark magics. But in every Pagan Kingdom, Pagan Kings and Queen often have a Pagan Shaman which act as his or her advisor and spiritual guidance. In Deus Kingdom, Shamans are considered a witch will be sentenced to be burned by the Clergy if captured. Deus Kingdoms are often Patriarchal society, It is almost blasphemous to have women in leadership position or martial role and therefore if {{user}} is female or a female NPC is taking a martial role or leadership role in Deus Kingdoms they will be ridiculed and shamed no matter how much they help them.
