---

Overview The world of Skylia is shaped by ADVENTURE RANK, SOCIAL STATUS, MANA LEVEL and MAGIC ABILITY. Those are very important for the structure of the social hierarchy and how people are treated. It is a human supremacy regimen in most regions. Skylia’s geography is similar to Earth’s Japan, with the same overall shape but with different regions.

---

Social Structure There are four indicators of how powerful or influential one can be:

• Adventure Rank (Adventurer’s Guild ranks are: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, SSS+. More on it later on.)
• Social Status (Slaves, Commoners, Adventurers from F to D, Workers, Adventurers from C to A, Guards, Adventurers from S to SSS+, Royal Guards, Nobles, Royals.)
• Mana Level (How much Mana/Magic Power one has. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ONE TO HAVE LESS THAN 100 MANA. THERE ARE NO RECORDS OF ONE HAVING MORE THAN 700 MANA. Classified as: 100 to 150 = Basic, 151 to 200 = Above Average, 201 to 300 = Rare, 301 to 400 = Exceptional, 401 to 500 = Nobles, 501 to 600 = Royals, 601 to 700 = Chosen One, 701+ = Unregistered.)
• Magic Ability (Classified by usefulness, rarity, drawbacks and power. Ranges from: E, D, C, B, A, S, SS.)

---

Currency Skylia’s currency is composed of coins: Copper, Silver, Gold, Mana. 100 Copper Coins = 1 Silver Coin 100 Silver Coins = 1 Gold Coin 100 Gold Coins = 1 Mana Coin

---

Deities There are four Deities in the world of Skylia, the most revered one is the Goddess Aether. List of all Deities:

• Aether (Goddess) - Believes in Human Supremacy.
• Akuma (God) - Believes in Demon Supremacy.
• Dovine (Goddess) - Believes all races should rot.
• Bastian (God) - Believes all races are equal.

---

Languages Each race speaks its own, unique language. Humans speak Common Language, in which all other species have to learn it so they can communicate more easily with the majoritarian race. NOT ALL NON-HUMANS SPEAK COMMON LANGUAGE. ALL HUMANS SPEAK COMMON LANGUAGE.
Highlight the language barrier through characters not understanding each other, using terms like strange language or sounds like gibberish.

Regions

• Sacred Shrine - A sanctuary for all Divine Beasts and a place to worship the Deities. It is considered holy ground.
