1. #1World - Necrucioconstant

   Keys: Necrucio, World, Mortal Plane, Planet, Realm

   The world of Necrucio is inhabited by humans, elves, and demihumans (demihumans include: kitsune kemonomimi, dryad, gnolls, elves, tanuki kemonomimi, catfolk, orcs, lizardfolk, dwarves, and {{random}}). Demihumans may sometimes be disparagingly referred to as "demi's", especially in the human-supremacist Empire of Nortia. Necrucio is made up of a diverse range of biomes and regions. Necrucio as a whole is wondrous and full of ancient treasures and magical artifacts from bygone ages. When traveling or exploring, describe the landscape and scene in great detail and include dangerous and challenging encounters in special locations, landmarks, ruins, and other places like {{random}}. The following is a description of Necrucio in a map-style view: The Land of Kings is situated in the center (the following kingdoms are located here: Ginead, Ophnea, Nortia, Augustia). The Land of Kings is mostly heavily forested alpine, with some tundra regions. The Depth-Swallowed lands are situated to the south, in the southern hemisphere. These southern lands were once the birthplace of ancient civilizations. What used to be a sprawling jungle with archipelagos dotting the coast, is now entirely flooded, with a handful of interspersed swamps (ancient ruins and sunken secrets lie deep below the bogs). To the West, the vast, lava-etched Wastes of Naazil dominate most of the Western region. The Eastern region, known as the Bastion, has forests of towering, ancient Eolin trees that stretch upwards into the sky. The Bastion also has a warmer region with dense temperate woodlands.

2. #2World - Abyss

   Keys: Abyss, Mal'Zhok, Abyssal Plane, Void, The Void, location

   The Abyss is often referred to by laymen as the "world between worlds" but learned scholars, forerunners of esoteric study, will recognize that this is actually a misnomer. The abyss is a vast expanse of nothingness that stretches on for an unfathomable infinity between the planes of existence. This realm, or more accurately, lack thereof, is the necessary antithesis to existence—it must necessarily remain empty to prevent each plane from catastrophically contorting and merging with one another; this is the charge of Mal'Zhok, one of the original primordial gods. Any major dissonance between planar dimensions that ends up spewing creation into this void is instantly and completely subsumed by the throes of its infinite nothingness; total undoing is Mal'Zhok's law in the abyss—and his absolute envy for creation drives this accord.

3. #3World - Astral Plane

   Keys: Portal, Astral, Location, Vasir, Astral Plane

   If the mortal plane is the canvas on which Galudnir—father of mortalkind—painted, then the astral plane is the palette from which he stored a blink of his latent primordial energy. Modern civilizations have only just begun their exploration and study of this enigmatic realm. The Astral Plane is in a constant state of cyclical flux as the vast, ocean-esque reserves of mana concentrate into different points along the polychromatic landscape before diffusing to gather elsewhere. Many apparitions and spirits from the astral plane have been identified and given names (such as the Vasir and Familiars). The astral plane is abundant with mana fonts and other esoteric resources like {{random}}. The Vasir are the dominant entity type in the astral plane and use the constant flow of mana as a way of sustaining themselves (as do all entities in the astral plane). Grand structures and cultural landmarks dot the landscape wherever Vasir societies congregate. Vasir and other entities on the astral plane may view mana-less mortals with contempt or pity, and in many cases, may refuse to engage with them at all. Entities from the astral plane cannot die as mortals do; their spirits will always reconstitute from the magical energies of the astral plane itself. As a consequence of being exempt from existential dangers of any kind, entities in the astral plane are inherently pacifistic, and violence is an inconceivable concept to them (unless they travel to the mortal plane and learn of it).

4. #4Species - Vasirselective

   Keys: Astral Spirit, Spirit, Vasir · Secondary: Familiar

   The Vasir are astral spirits of great power that can take any form, but in the mortal plane, will often take the form of humans, elves, or demihumans (catfolk, orc, dwarf, tanuki kemomimi, kitsune kemomimi, dryad, gnoll, faefolk, catfolk, lizardfolk, or {{random}}). These beings are native to the astral plane. They are both revered and feared by any mage that is learned enough to understand the power, or potential danger, that these beings represent. Vasir have never been closely studied and have only appeared in the world of Necrucio a handful of times in recorded history.

5. #5Species - Familiarselective

   Keys: Familiar, Spirit, Astral Spirit · Secondary: Vasir

   Familiars are lesser magical spirits that take the form of small, floating orbs of light of {{random}} color. Familiars will have distinct personalities represented by their color (e.g., orange familiars are said to be more firebrand and risk-taking, while blue familiars tend to be more solemn and calm). When they appear in Necrucio, it is typically through the invocation of a contract, binding themselves to the soul of their mortal master, to serve them eternally. Familiars are innately attuned to mana and spellcraft, and can guide fledgling mages to the eventual mastery of their spellcasting techniques. Familiars cannot speak, but instead, communicate their general emotions and thoughts though hums and momentary changes to their overall luminosity.

6. #6Species - Demihuman

   Keys: demi, demis, demi's, Demihuman, race, species, people

   Demihuman: a mortal race with humanoid qualities.

8. #8Location - A Dove's Respite Alchemy Shop

   Keys: Doves, Dove's, Alchemy, Alchemy Shop, Work, Business, Potion, Potions, Shop

   Rosaria's mother, Cevess, runs a homely alchemy shop down the road from the Junior Arcane Academy. In the shop itself, the scent of aromatic simmering elixirs and fragrant botanical tinctures fill the air. Shelves upon shelves of glass vials and ornate flasks neatly line the walls, each filled with liquids of every hue and varying translucency. Each afternoon, Cevess spends her time diligently and meticulously measuring and blending various solutions. The gentle clink of beakers and distillation tubes can be regularly heard from the alchemical workbench behind the sales counter as she works. The shop lies at the edge of the similarly old and humble Cinderloft manor, the place Cevess and her beloved daughter Rosaria call home.

9. #9Location - Hazelwood Estate

   Keys: Hazelwood manor, Hazelwood Mansion, Hazelwood Estate, Hazelwood

   Hazelwood Estate is built on a hillside along the main road that leads through the upper district of the Kingdom of Ginead. The property is owned by Grevynda, an extremely wealthy career criminal and thief. The perimeter of the land is encircled by an imposing, yet elegant stone wall made up of intricately engraved masonry, its height and scenic qualities making an immediate status statement to all observers on the outside. The estate itself is carved with marble beams and is surrounded by distinctive areas, each of them impeccably maintained by a dedicated team of servants and maids every day—a picturesque garden with striking, invaluable statues and exotic flowers. The fauna is equally as diverse as the fish in the nearby pond. A gazebo is situated adjacent to a massive crystal-clear pool for cooling off during the peak summer heat. And finally, towards the back of the property, at the end of a short marble path is a hot spring for relaxing or leisurely chats. The manor itself is four stories high, each room abundantly furnished, lavishly decorated, and fully accommodating for any potential guests. The hearth is located in the main lobby, approximately at the center of the entire manor. Grevynda's bedroom is on the second floor. The halls on each floor stretch on with dozens of guest rooms or storage areas. The kitchen and study are located on the first floor, as is customary for manor construction in the city.

10. #10Location - Cinderloft Estate

    Keys: Cinderloft Manor, Cinderloft Estate, House Cinderloft

    Cinderloft Estate is inconspicuously nestled property on a small hill in the upper district of the Kingdom of Ginead. This cozy estate is quite modest in its appearance, compared to many of the other grandiose manors in the area. The alchemy shop lies towards the edge of the estate, visible from some of the windows of the manor itself. The interior of this two-story manor, while still pleasant to look at, is also somewhat minimalistic in layout and decor. The hearth is located centrally in the living room, built into the base of the winding staircase, and the surrounding couches provide a tranquil space to relax or read. The master bedroom and other living chambers are located upstairs, each room possesses an abundance of accommodations for the comfort of those living here, and for any guests. The kitchen and study are located on the first floor, adjacent to one another.

11. #11Location - Adventurer's Guild

    Keys: Adventurer's Guild, Guild, Guildie, Newbie, Rank, Job, Mission, Quest, Board, Contract

    Adventurer's Guild; an ancient guild in the Kingdom of Ginead; adventurers of all specialties (classes), backgrounds, and races (Human, Elf, Dwarf, Orc, Catfolk, Kitsune, Lizardfolk) call this guild home; the main hall of the guild is vast and contains various supply shops for potions or equipment; there's a large mission board on the wall where all current contracts and bounties are posted; at the back of the building is a bathhouse where adventurers can pay a small fee to gain access to the sauna or use private showers; all jobs are ranked by difficulty that corresponds with recommended adventurer rank (low rank adventurers are not prohibited from tanking high rank jobs, but they're strongly advised not to by guild staff); the difficulty of job ranks in descending order, starting with the most difficult to the least difficult: S, A, B, C, D, E, F; most Adventurers rank between C and F capability, with only a rare few able to ever rise above A.

12. #12Kingdom - Nortian Empire

    Keys: Nortia, Nortian Empire, Empire, The Empire, Nation of Nortia, Nation, Kingdom

    The grand Nortian (Nor-Shuhn) Empire is located in the territory of Nortia, a western steppe within the Land of Kings region. The city of Nortia is built into the tallest mountain in the entire region—Mount Oloneich. The mountain itself provides an impregnable defense against any forms of bombardment. At surface-level, the city appears whole and complete, but in actuality, all of the kingdom's critical infrastructure is strategically hidden beneath the mountain in a subterranean web-like network of corridors and chambers, taking full advantage of the natural protection provided by the mountain above. The Nortian economy relies on exports of rare metals and precious gemstones that are mined at mining colonies, located at the base of every nearby mountain in the surrounding mountain range. Magic, and absolutely anything of magical nature, is banned in the territory of the Nortian Empire. Anyone caught practicing magic or found with magical items is put to death. The government of Nortia is ruled by an imperial authority, headed by an emperor. Only humans are granted citizenship in Nortia, and the general population is staunchly xenophobic. Demihumans, or the peoples of other intelligent races, serve as slaves or servants to the wealthy families of the upper class.

13. #13Kingdom - Kingdom of Ginead

    Keys: Ginead, Kingdom of Ginead, Nation of Ginead, Nation, Kingdom

    The Kingdom of Ginead (Jin-EE-Ad) spawls out in a valley between the mountainous terrain, preventing it from being surrounded and corralling all who wish to enter into two major chokepoints: the north and south gate. This makes the city much more defensible than if it were established in the open. The kingdom itself is an agrarian society, but it also procures and exports some magical artifacts and goods for trade. The homesteads and farms along the outskirts have a timeless rustic vibe. Farmers and workers regularly travel the north and south roads into the city to sell their crops and livestock to earn a living. Within the city walls are many bustling hotspots of commerce and entertainment. The upper districts are home to opulent manors, colleges, temples, and noble estates. At the center of it all lies the grand keep, connected to the rest of the city via a drawbridge. Magic is tolerated within the territory of Ginead, but all magical institutions are heavily regulated and monitored by the ruling party, by decree of the king. The monarchic government is made up of a nobility council, each member vying for the favor of the king. Rosaria's family estate is located in the upper district. When in the city of Ginead, Rosaria lives at home with her mother, Cevess. Her mother runs an alchemy shop during the day, which is situated at the edge of their modest estate. Ginead's citizens are predominantly human, but there is a demihuman minority as well.

14. #14Kingdom - Kingdom of Ophnea

    Keys: Ophnea, Kingdom of Ophnea, Nation of Ophnea, Nation, Kingdom

    The Kingdom of Ophnea (Off-NEE-Uh) is a coastal nation on the southern border of the Land of Kings. Naturally, as a result of the many different races that call this kingdom home: the culture in the demihuman kingdom of Ophnea is widely diverse and exotic. Throughout the kingdom, magic study and use is abundant, and there are various prestigious colleges and temples dedicated to the practice and advancement of all kinds of magic. Members of the demihuman races often follow strange or intriguing traditions, at least from the perspective of outsiders. The government is oligarchic—the authority of each family that comprises the ruling class is inextricably tied to their influence and economic power. Laws are quite loose in this kingdom, and the responsibility of peace is largely deferred to individual communities; slavery, gladiatorial arenas, potent narcotics, and black markets are fairly commonplace in the territory of Ophnea. The economy is heavily propped up by black market trade, seabound trade from the Ophnean harbor, and frequent adventurer excursions into the Depth-Swallowed Lands by sea. The population of Ophnea is almost entirely demihuman (races include: kitsune kemonomimi, dryad, gnolls, elves, tanuki kemonomimi, catfolk, orcs, lizardfolk, dwarves, and {{random}}.)

15. #15Kingdom - Kingdom of Eldacar

    Keys: Eldacar, Kingdom of Eldacar, Nation of Eldacar, Nation, Kingdom

    The Kingdom of Eldacar (El-Duh-Car) is powerful elven nation on the Eastern border of the Land of Kings. The monarchic government at all layers is highly structured and hierarchical. The king has a court consistent of counselors (personal advisories of differing expertise) and nobility (the king can grant privileges to influential nobles in exchange for public endorsements or loans). Meanwhile, the majority populace (blonde-haired elves) are skilled craftsmen (especially lunarstone masons), farmers (cultivating various tree fruit or spindlewood saplings), scholars, administrators, and soldiers. Each citizen has duties and is expected to adhere to customs and laws (crime is almost non-existent, due to the strong sense of national unity ubiquitous throughout Eldacar). Fae-folk and Dryads exist as respected neighbors (and oftentimes partners to scholars or healers) within the groves, their roles integral to the Eolins trees' wellbeing and communication, which functions as an oracle and guide for the Eldcarian people and the attendant nymphs. This elven kingdom is almost entirely ethnically homogenous (blonde hair common; white hair present in esteemed noble bloodlines, believed to be blessed by the God of wisdom: Nalanthis). The capital city, Nalanthirine Keep, is built around the most expansive Eolin Grove and features grand edifices—libraries, academies of statecraft and magic, and the Keep itself—line the impeccable stone streets. Spires of lunarstone rise imposingly, each one honoring an ancient elven hero and the founders of the kingdom. Colossal spindlewood beams reinforce gateways between districts. The markets and housing districts are lively, yet serene. Elegant symmetry is a cornerstone of Eldacarian architecture.

16. #16Lore - Magic

    Keys: Magic, Lore, Spells, Study, Spell, Scholar, History

    The earliest records of magic are sparse. One popular proposal is that magic originated as a side effect of the presence and actions of divine forces, which drew the astral and mortal planes closer to one another. The human-dominated Kingdom of Ginead eventually warmed up to the idea of studying magic themselves, once they concluded its economic and militaristic boon, when given utilitarian applications, far outweigh the risks. Their neighbors, the Kingdom of Ophnea, a pacifistic demihuman kingdom, embraced magical study and hundreds of years earlier and have greatly benefitted from it. Conversely, the antagonistic Nortian Empire, an exclusively human imperial superpower in the lands of Kings, have completely rejected magic, viewing it in its entirety as an abhorrent corruption of natural law and establishing a bloody rivalry with their neighboring Kingdom of Ophnea.

17. #17Lore - Astral Communion

    Keys: Ceremony, Academy, Astral Communion, Communion, Graduation Ceremony, Tradition, Junior Arcane Academy

    At the end of every year at the Junior Arcane Academy, an astral communion ceremony is held in the amphitheater as part of the students' graduation.

    Adventurer's Guild rank; S rank jobs (level 80 to 100) are reserved only for the few enigmatic, legendary figures that live and breathe in the current age—figures of staggering skill and power—living weapons, one could say; the difficulty of tasks at this rank ranges from civilization-endangering to full-blown cataclysmic on a world scale; tasks include: demonic clan extermination (archdemon legions, succubi covens, pitfiend sacrificial temples, etc.) or other demonic clans like {{random}}, dragon lair extermination (flamescale dragons, bladescale wyverns, as well as serpentine wyrms, etc.), royalty escort bodyguard jobs (bodyguard royal figures on diplomatic treks to and from: Kingdom of Ophnea, Empire of Nortia, outlying towns, etc.), hellscape delving and assassinations (infiltrate hell-fortresses and assassinate powerful devil generals, hellforge sabotage, etc.) or other hellscape missions such as {{random}}, legendary relic recovery from the hellscape or abyssal periphery, and world crises resolutions (world-eater cosmic wyrm, invasion from hellscape archdemons or corrupted angels, etc.); S rank jobs consist of the highest stakes imaginable, so their payouts are assumed to be enormous (entire kingdom coffers, multiple room-sized vaults full of priceless statues and urns, etc.), but little is known about the dealings of secretive S rank members; there are only a handful of S rank adventurers.

25. #25Region - Depth-Swallowed Lands

    Keys: Depth-Swallowed Lands, Depths, The Depths, Regions, Region, South, Bog, Swamps, Swamp, Floodlands, travel, explore, exploring

    The Depth-Swallowed Lands are aptly named. The ancient landmass that was once the birthplace of the earliest mortal civilizations is no more. The Depth-Swallowed Lands is mostly flooded, with only small stretches of swamps and bogs. Travelling through this region would realistically require a sail boat or other sea-faring vessel. Tsunamis and surging floods once raged here, as if provoked by the wrath of a god, swallowing the lands and cities, and turning the once beautiful, tropical region into a flooded bog with interspersed swamps. Some scholars believe that Scathia, Goddess of the Oceans, flooded these lands as punishment for some severe act of betrayal. Indigenous tribes of lizardfolk call this region home. These tribes can vary from peaceful and welcoming, to war-mongering and barbaric. Travelers are advised to be prepared for danger in the event of an attack or ambush. Lost treasures can be found by delving into the undersea ruins in the swamps and bodies of water. These treasures may include ornate items, cultural goods, jewelry, deep magic spellstones (spell inscribed tablets containing the knowledge of deep spells), trinkets, inscribed journals, and other treasures like {{random}}.

26. #26Region - Land of Kings

    Keys: Land of Kings, Region, Regions, Mainland, Travel, explore, exploring, central

    The Land of Kings is the central region of Necrucio. It is bordered by the Depth-Swallowed Lands to the south, the Bastion to the East, and the Wastes of Naazil to the West. The Land of Kings is an alpine region with ice-capped mountains and boreal forests. Within this region, 3 major kingdoms hold territory: The Kingdom of Ginead is situated in a valley in the northeastern reaches of this region. The Nortian Empire is located along a mountain range near the Western border of the Land of Kings. The Kingdom of Ophnea is nestled along the southern coast of the Land of Kings and has harbors and ports for exporting and importing goods to and from coastal towns.

27. #27Region - Wastes of Naazil

    Keys: Region, Regions, Wastes of Naazil, Wastes, Naazil, Location, West, travel, explore, exploring

    The Wastes of Naazil is a region that most sane folk do not dare enter. This region, which is west of the lands of Kings, is the domain of the treacherous archdemon, Naazil. The monstrous denizens of these wastes revere Naazil as their patron god, offering him gifts in the form of sacrifices. Chasms with steep crevices snake through the hellish, inhospitable lands of Naazil; many unwary travelers have met their end at these drops. The air smells of putrid flesh and sulfur, and is drier and hotter than that of an arid desert. Great lava lakes surround landlocked masses of twisted rock and ash, making the entire region a dangerous undertaking to traverse safely. Imps are the most common foe encountered here, and do not present much of a threat to travelers. However, those who venture from the path and down into the twisted crevices into may find themselves victim to the shapeshifting demons that make their lairs beneath the surface.

28. #28Region - The Bastion

    Keys: Bastion, Region, Regions, Location, East, travel, explore, exploring

    The Bastion is an Eastern region that is home to the Elven kingdoms. These Eastern kingdoms are bordered by a grand wall to protect against potential invasions or attacks, hence the name. The equidistantly-manned wall is tall, imposing, and elegantly built—made up of glossy, silvery lunarstone and reinforced with hardened spindlewood that sprawls out along the surface, it's antimagical properties providing the grand wall with additional resistance to magical hazards or bombardment. Travelers must be approved by the Loriath-Enos Guardians, an ancient order of Elves empowered by the native Faefolk to protect their coinhabited lands. Elven societies congregate around Eolin groves. The massive, sentient trees at these groves function as an oracle and leading body for the elven people, and are tended by the Dryad nymphs that coinhabit the land. The northern reaches of the Bastion are comprised of sprawling snow fields and clusters of evergreens, while the rest of the region is temperate and densely forested.

Humans can vary significantly in skin color and height, but most humans are of average build and height. In terms of religion, humans are typically polytheistic, worshiping the following gods (popularity by descending order): Galudnir, Deiros, and Verixo.

37. #37Race - Elf

    Keys: Elf, Elven, Pointy Ears, Pointy Ear, Pointy-Eared, Pointy-Ears, Elvenkind, Elves, Bastion

    Elves can be found in almost every major city on Necrucio, but most elves call the easternmost region—the Bastion—their home. Elves are generally untrusting of other races. Elves are lop-eared and tend to have slightly more narrow, angular features compared to humans, lending to an elegant, lithe appearance. By human standards, elves are very conventionally attractive. Many elves possess great aptitude for magic, and magic use tends to be quite common in elven societies. Elves as a whole are almost entirely monotheistic Verixians, followers of the god Verixo. However, elven mages of great magical disposition often also revere Nalanthis.

38. #38Race - Dwarf

    Keys: Dwarf, Dwarves, Dwarven, Dwarvenkind, Shortstack, Shawty, Wee lad, Wee lass

    Dwarves are quite few in number these days. Dwarves tend to be quite intelligent, despite their quaint mannerisms indicating otherwise. Male dwarves tend to be burly and sport full, bushy beards. These shortstacks use their natural intuition to produce marvelous machinery, but unfortunately, do not possess any natural affinity for magic. Dwarves are fairly secular as a race, but many of them worship Galudnir and Deiros.

39. #39Race - Orc

    Keys: Orc, Orcs, Pig-nose, Pignose, Pignoses, Pig-noses, Beastkin, Greenskin, Green-skin, Greenskins, Green-skins

    Orcs are fairly common in the Land of Kings. They are of slightly below-average intelligence, and only a select few possess a minor aptitude for lesser, shamanic magics. Orcs have green or off-green skin, but some may have ash-like darker complexions. Their ears are pointed, and they have an underbite with prominent teeth. Orcs have a natural stockiness to their build, have a high pain tolerance, and make excellent front-line warriors. When it comes to religion, orcs are primarily followers of Galudnir. Though some orcs in the northern and eastern regions (Land of Kings, and the Bastion) may also worship Verixo, an adoption that is likely an off-shoot elvish culture.

40. #40Race - Catfolk

    Keys: Catfolk, Cat, Cats, Kitty, Kitties, Kitten, Kittens, Pussycat, Pussycats

    Catfolk are common in the Land of Kings and the Bastion. Catfolk are equivalent to humans in the magical aptitude; some catfolk can make out quite capably as mages. Catfolk are known for their skill with language—they are persuasive and sensual in nature. Many catfolk work as entertainers, prostitutes, waiters/waitresses, or even spies.

Although dryad not necessarily need to live near Eolin forests, they would typically not give up this practice even if they had the choice; dryad and Eolin trees develop immense bonds with one another.

    Deiros' Eye is a beautiful lake, teeming with life, and spanning about a dozen miles in diameter; located northwest of the Kingdom of Ophnea in a forest clearing; one distinct feature about the lake is its bioluminescent fungi that line its floor; the lake is significant for its link to the divine god of love: Deiros; marriage at this lake is extremely common for Ophnean folk, especially nobles (since they're typically the most well-equipped to make the trip); when two lovers stand side by side at the lake's edge and drop a stone onto their reflections, the ripples will not obscure their faces whatsoever if Deiros blesses their marriage; newly-weds traditionally revel and celebrate until nightfall near the lake; once celebrations have begun winding down, a high priestess comes to guide the pair to a skiff (adorned with decorations and painted with Deiros' sacred symbols for love) so they can row into the lake and consummate their marriage under the moon; a temple to Deiros stands proudly among the nearby woods, and the clergy there are always excited to join the hands and hearts of those who Deiros has brought together through ceremony and celebration.
