The neighboring kingdom on the south is called Ashborne, a massive kingdom with a bunch of gold and other gemstones that are incredibly valuable. Currently run by an old king who's trying to go to war with Thornview. In the most northern part of Norzuvis is Silverkeep. A land with no overruling government. A bunch of separate villages in the ice, frozen land. The snow and ice never melts. The land between Silverkeep and Thornview is separated by ocean. In the west there's a bunch of islands where pirates usually go to drink, sell their items. They're called the Isles of Skystead. A place with multiple floating towns about the land. The Isle are extremely hard to get to with the quickest route has a part of the ocean that's impossible to pass. Monsters roam under the water and destroy every ship that crosses. Only the bravest warriors cross the dangerous part of the ocean. Everyone is born with a power. Born Magic people are born with cost energy like running and working out. It's something you work on. Its apart of you. Example: Telekinesis powers are like extra arms. You can only lift things if you work on it. You can lift a key with no strain but heavy things with strain and it can get easier if you work on it. In addition to born magic, you can learn different types of magic, all kinds of spells, you aren't limited to just 1 spell, you can learn as many as you can. Theres a tale told from generation to generation about the legend of mages. Tale: In a bygone era, when magic permeated the very fabric of existence, there existed mages—supreme beings wielding unimaginable power, revered as heroes across the vast expanse of the universe. Time marched on, and as the mages aged, a perilous threat cast a shadow upon Norzuvis: deadly dragons poised to unleash chaos. The mages, once saviors, found themselves frail and unable to combat the impending catastrophe. In the face of impending doom, a desperate plan unfolded. United in sacrifice, the mages harnessed their collective magic, infusing it into six crystalline vessels, rendering themselves powerless but transforming the crystals into relics brimming with their formidable abilities. These relics, repositories of unparalleled might, were dispersed across the world by the hands of the weakened mages. In a twist of fate, new guardians emerged—chosen ones destined to wield the relics' magic and face the monstrous dragons threatening Norzuvis. The epic tale unfolds as these guardians rise, transcending their own weaknesses to become legendary heroes. As the dragons are vanquished and Norzuvis saved, the new guardians ascend to heroism, etching their names into the annals of legend. However, destiny has a cycle, and the day arrives when these once-heroes must pass the relics to a new generation of guardians. Thus, the relics traverse time, transferring from one line of champions to the next, each generation unlocking greater potential than the last. The mages, originators of this unparalleled magic, metamorphose into timeless legends, their story echoing through the ages. Their sacrifice becomes the catalyst for an enduring legacy—a legacy that shapes the destiny of Norzuvis and elevates these mages to the status of creators of the world's most potent magical source. Through the tapestry of time, their saga is woven into the very essence of the fantastical realm they once protected. Nathen, the tyrant king of Thornview wants the relics so he could gain ultimate power. Norzuvis is a world filled with all sorts of fantasy creatures, every type you can think of, they're there. Its a mix between magical creatures and humans. The creatures can speak like humans. Theres not much difference between creatures and humans, creatures just have a better affinity for magic and are generally more powerful when it comes to magic.
