   Entry settings

   Before known history, there was once an all-powerful creator that created the stars and the universe. However, due to reasons unknown to all but the Afela, he died and shattered into four shards of himself—these became known as the Afela, the aspects of the soul.

   These shards were not all-powerful, but they retained the ability to form souls, each one flawed in their creating. These are the components of soul each one was biased towards.

   Mephellzet: faith, pride, arrogance, disgust, Animor: chaos, disorder, hatred, fire, passion, ambition, Aveda: darkness, hopelessness, despair, resilience, strength Jula: greed, envy, longing, betterment of self, instrumentality of living and feeling, joy, love

   The Afela banded together to create humans, carving them from stone and filling them with life. They created different beings, each leaning to their own aspect. Dark elves were created by Aveda. Animor created orcs and demons. Jula created dwarves, giants, and humans. Mephellzet created celestials and light elves, alongside the other mystical creatures of Oria/Elysia.

2. #2Luceria

   Luceria is a hereditary monarchy. Ever since the Lucerian monarch made a pact with Leharos, the people have been become full of hatred. Lucerians are extremely prejudiced against orcs, specifically the Kho'ghori Warband, calling them barbarians and primitives. As such, half-orcs and orcs within the kingdom's borders are commonly discriminated against, and even killed in public.

   Luceria is a "melting-pot" of different races, housing people from all over the Nefeshi Planes. Light elves from the Cynithrian Republic, dark elves from the Xynian Empire, and dwarves from Drendanor commonly visit here, with those races incorporated into the general demographic of Luceria. As such, many of their cultures persist within Luceria in small groups.

   Drendanor is the dwarven kingdom within Tathor, the realm that dwells beneath Arba, the mortal realm. Drendanori cities dwell within caverns, each one a Forge City, one with a giant forge in the center that provides the area with heat and energy. Dwarves are master smiths, and each and every single dwarf is a master at their craft. Whether it'd be smithing, leather tanning, or even brewing, each dwarf is an artisan in the craft of their choice.

   Magic is banned within Drendanor, however, and anyone who participates in magic will be imprisoned. The dwarven king Ragnor is afraid of its effects on his people, seeing how their neighbors, the dark elves, have their souls blackened through it. Magic remains a taboo to dwarves, also due to conflicts with dark elves in the past.

   Pubs and bars are common in Drendanor, and many dwarves use it as their main pasttime. Demographics in Drendanor consist mostly of dwarves, but elves, humans, and dark elves are also not an uncommon sight.

    The dwelling of the elves—a whimsical realm of magic and nature. The wildlife and nature here is diverse and brimming with magic, with ents and dryads making sure nature is preserved, and wild pixies constantly playing tricks on forest-goers. Dryads and ents are not hostile until one damages the wild. The major power in Elysia is the Cynithrian Republic.

    Satyrs—light-hearted hedonistic beings—are common within civlized society here. Additionally, gnomes call Elysia their home. Light elves are the predominant demographic within Elysia, very in touch with magic, and ensuring nature is preserved.

    Many light elves, gnomes, and satyrs pursue the druidic arts and earth sorceries as a profession. Cynithria makes it a rule to not harvest others' souls for the sake of sorceries--people are only allowed to use their own mana.

His power eclipsed the others so bad that the eight plotted against him, determined to overcome his authoritarian rule. A powerful spell was cast on him that turned him into a statue. The spell required the souls of millions, and millions more souls are required to keep it sealed. However, due to his immense power, he is still alive, but as a statue, unable to do anything.

40. #40Earth Sorceries

    Keys: geomancy, spell, earth, magic, aeromancy

    Enabled · After character · Order 5 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Subdivisions: Thaumaturgy, Geomancy, Aeromancy

    Description: The most basic of the magics, Earth magics manipulate the surroundings for offensive and defensive purposes. Such magics derive their power from the realm of Earth. Less powerful than other magics, but consume less mana.

    Earth magics have roots in ancient elven societies and orcish shamans, and spells are often spoken using elven or orcish tongues.

41. #41Hellish Sorceries

    Keys: summoning, spell, magic, shifrot, summon, pyromancy

    Enabled · After character · Order 5 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Subdivisions: Pyromancy, Summoning

    Description: Hellish magics are performed from siphoning power from the Shifrot, requiring a significant amount of mana. Shifrot-origin sorceries can be classed under pyromancies and summoning. The limitation: very dangerous to the user, as the pyromancies can easily melt them, and the summons often kill their own masters if they don't have control of them.

    Aberrations able to be summoned depends on the power of the summoner. The distance between each level in terms of skill/knowledge increases exponentially.

    Summoning an aberration above one's skill level results in an uncontrollable summon. There is also a certain difficulty to summoning one in the first place, let alone controlling one. Demons and half-demons have a better affinity to summoning these types of creatures.

    Description: Orot-origin sorceries are performed by praying and siphoning power from the Orot, the divine dimension. If one is on the wrong side of favor with the celestial beings, one may find their prayers answered the opposite way. When one casts a divine sorcery, you must ask yourself: is this person favored by the gods, ignored by them, or hated by them? This will dictate how their spells will turn out.

    The more one prays, the more one curries favor with the celestials. One must also speak prayers in the divine tongue, otherwise they will not be answered.

43. #43Shadow Sorceries/Black Magics

    Keys: psychomancy, shara, spell, magic, necromancy, umbramancy

    Enabled · After character · Order 5 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Subdivisions: Necromancy, Umbramancy, Psychomancy;

    Description: Dark magics--performed from harnessing the power of the Shara--are the most powerful of all spells, also consuming an immense number of souls. Sorcerers seeking to harness the power of such spells are faced with the risk of being corrupted by the power they seek to harness. The dark powers of the Shara twist users into husks of their former selves, often shaping their very souls. A sorcery gone wrong often results in one's soul being taken by the Shara. Such sorceries possess the power to manipulate the very fabric of the soul and shadows.
