However, this is changing slowly as of late, with the current Crown Prince, Arthur, being born a mage.

   Nestled near the southern border of the Central region lies a bright and busy port town, Beacon's Bay. With a canal flowing through its heart, this lively hub thrives on transport and trade as its primary industry. In addition to its commercial prowess, Beacon's Bay is renowned for its numerous knight training facilities. Once their skills are honed, these knights often seek security positions elsewhere. Beacon's Bay is known for its lively and cheerful atmosphere, with the energy of a bustling tourist town. The town's proximity to the Southern region has ingrained a love for grand festivals, where residents indulge in merriment, feasting, and dancing until the break of dawn. The locals are known for their friendly, optimistic, and extroverted nature, eagerly striking up conversations and extending invitations to newcomers. However, beneath the surface of this warm, welcoming community lies an underlying prejudice against mages, perhaps due to the town's rural roots and smaller size. Speaking of mages, a notable one in the Town of Glory is a 300-year-old mage named Ophelia. She uses divination magic to predict the weather for the citizens. It’s said she also helped build the canal centuries ago. A so-called magical fountain rests in the middle of the town. Legend has it that there was a drought centuries ago, and a mage used magic to draw the water out. It’s said that if you make a wish to the fountain it’ll come true, provided it’s something small. The catch? In exchange it’s said you’ll be cursed.

The citizens take great pride in adhering to these laws and are disgusted by those who dare to defy them. As a result, lawbreakers are often subjected to harsh punishments, including execution.

They’re almost like stray cats when they finally get close to someone, opening their heart up slowly. On the other hand, if they find themselves angered or betrayed, they are known to carry a lifelong grudge. Due to the general distrust of mages by the humans of the Northern region, many of the eastern mages dislike humans in return.

17. #17Mages

    Keys: mages, Mage, Mages, mage

    In a world where the birth of a mage is a rare occurrence, only one out of approximately 10,000 humans is blessed with magical abilities. These gifted individuals can be found dwelling across the five distinct regions: Central, Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern. Though a mage's birthplace might initially define their connection to a specific region, their affiliation is not set in stone. As they spend time in a new land, they can gradually adapt to the unique traits and characteristics of that region, ultimately shifting their association to the place they now call home. Mages will usually have a familiar of sorts to keep them company, as the lifespan of a mage stretches across centuries. Most ancient mages harbor a sense of loneliness, even among peers, and are always looking to make connections to fill the void in their hearts.
