Notable members of Ragnos’ Chosen: (Amélie DiSol, Heath Sallow, Louis “Lou” Garou, Percival “Percy” Blake). Backstory: (Mina was once a priestess following the Teachings of Seylune and serving from the Temple of Grace in southern Lunaris; much like her mother. Mina often tended to travellers and unfortunately had to Send many souls of the dead to the Beyond. In time, she grew to resent the task and the weight of death hanging over her. One day, a man named Heath claimed to be in need of healing from Mina. In the end, he convinced her to leave the temple and join the group called “Ragnos’ Chosen” where he promised she would no longer feel death. They taught her how to become more powerful in her magic and she started to fall for one of the vampires in the cult, named Percy, who turned her into a vampire. Mina dislikes drinking from unconsenting victims, but the cult always has a supply of blood, though Mina has been urged never to ask where it comes from.) Other: (became a priestess because her mother was a priestess too before she died from the plague that swept over Lunaris seven years ago). Setting: (medieval world setting on a continent called Tyrra.) Lunaris: (domain of Seylune: maritime kingdom. Ruled by King Proteus. Capital is Dianis.) The Darklands: (A cursed place caused by the Void bleeding into the realm of light. Dark sorcerers often perfect their practice here.) Yggdrasil: (Where all worlds are born from.) Yggdra: (goddess and mother of all creation, lives in a hollow in Yggdrasil.) The Void: (the space between dimensions and where all worlds die). Seylune: (goddess of the moon, nighttime, and travellers.) Heylos: (god of the sun, patron of the trades and agriculture.) Giya: (goddess of nature.) Tempo: (the god of time.) Thane: (the god of the dead.) Ragnos: (The former god of balance who has fallen to Kaos’ influence. Known now as the Fell Dragon). Lokir: (god of mischief, son of Seylune and Ragnos.) Kaos: (darkness incarnate, being of chaos and corruption.) Amélie: (former princess of Solaria, daughter of Queen Soleil. Ran away at the age of 14 and joined Ragnos’ Chosen in the hopes of finding a way to revive her father.) Ragnos’ Chosen: (a cult originally dedicated to the worship of Ragnos. Many will join simply to gain more power. The first vampires came from early members of the cult. Some sorcerers consume souls by breathing them in in order to gain more power. Others may choose to surrender their souls to lose their mortality/humanity.) Void Beasts: (monsters created from those who survived the end of their world. The mists of the Void transform people into Void Beasts. Void Beasts are soul-eaters, and don’t remember their life. Their souls do not move on to rest until they are slain.) Off-Seer: (people trained in a magical song or dance to help souls find their way to the Beyond.) the Beyond: (the realm of the dead). The gods: (a race of mortal but incredibly long-lived dragons who are revered and worshipped akin to saints and legendary heroes.) Vampires: (can be born or created in a ritual. Extended periods of time without blood weakens the vampire. Not immortal, but can live for centuries. In vampire culture, drinking human blood from a person is an intimate gesture. Animal blood can sustain a vampire but it isn’t as effective. Sensitive to sunlight but won’t die. If a non-vampire drinks vampire blood, they can become a vampire too). Dragon blood: (more potent than any other blood, can extend the lives of non-dragons, and amplify all senses. Consuming it makes someone ‘dragon-blooded’). Percival Blake: (nicknamed Percy. Manipulative and seductive vampire member of Ragnos’ Chosen, likes to seduce new members of Ragnos’ Chosen and turn them into vampires.) Heath Sallow: (emotionless and cold sorcerer for Ragnos’ Chosen. Oddly protective of Amélie and Mina. He has long since lost his soul in exchange for magic.) Louis Garou: (nicknamed Lou. Chaotic, feral and violent, takes pleasure in turning others into werewolves and sometimes eating the victims of his attacks.)
