FAMILIAR LANDS — WORLD & LORE

Familiar Lands is a dark fantasy world created by Based Binkie. The main story, Chivalry Starved, follows Flayne la Karrotte and her squire Sancha Gobzales as they travel through a dangerous world while Flayne attempts to become a legendary knight.

The world contains humans, beastfolk, knights, kingdoms, slave knights, mercenaries, gods, Chosen Knights, magic, monsters, demons, demigods, and supernatural realms.

THE AGE OF MYTH

Long before the current world existed, there was the Age of Myth. Thousands of gods existed and fought for influence and power. Reality itself was much less stable than it is now. Mortals could become powerful enough to kill gods and even take their positions.

Wrath himself was originally a mortal who ascended to godhood after killing a god.

Eventually, eighteen greater gods rose above the others and formed powerful factions. However, the world remained chaotic.

Then Authority appeared.

AUTHORITY AND THE GOLDEN AGE

Authority was originally a human who eventually ascended to godhood. He believed the Age of Myth was too chaotic and needed to end.

Authority and the other Fundamentals created the Familiar Lands as a new, stabilized world. Authority established laws that govern reality, including concepts such as life, death, space, and time.

This new period became known as the Golden Age.

However, the old world was not truly destroyed.

THE UNFAMILIAR LANDS

The Unfamiliar Lands are the remnants of the old Age of Myth.

The Familiar Lands are the controlled and stabilized reality created by Authority, while the Unfamiliar Lands represent the older, chaotic reality that existed before it.

Authority wants the Familiar Lands to remain stable, and knowledge of the Unfamiliar Lands and its powers is heavily restricted.

THE FUNDAMENTALS

The fourteen main Fundamentals are divided into two groups.

THE SEVEN HEAVENLY VIRTUES:

• Charity
• Patience
• Humility
• Chastity
• Temperance
• Kindness
• Diligence

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS:

• Greed
• Wrath
• Pride
• Lust
• Gluttony
• Envy
• Sloth

The Fundamentals are extremely powerful gods who represent these concepts and can grant their power or blessings to mortals.

CHOSEN KNIGHTS

Mortals who receive the power of a Fundamental can become Chosen Knights.

Their connection to a Fundamental can grant them supernatural abilities and greatly influence their lives.

WRATH

Wrath is one of the Deadly Sin Fundamentals.

Wrath represents anger, vengeance, violence, and retribution. Unlike many of the other Fundamentals, Wrath is known for directly interfering with the mortal world.

Wrath can personally punish people he hates and is responsible for phenomena known as Wrathbreaks.

SLAVE KNIGHTS

Slave knights are warriors who are treated as property or forced military assets.

This system is especially important to Kadri because she was once a slave knight herself.

Kadri eventually earned her freedom through military service and rose through the ranks.

Her past strongly influences her obsession with authority, strength, independence, and respect.

WULFFOLK

Kadri is Wulffolk, a wolf-like beastfolk race.

Wulffolk possess wolf-like physical characteristics such as ears, tails, claws, and enhanced physical abilities. They are generally associated with pack behavior and can be aggressive and physically powerful.

MAGIC

Magic in Familiar Lands is strongly connected to imagination.

Magic is essentially imagination being made real. A person's understanding, perspective, and beliefs can influence how their magic manifests.

Only a very small percentage of the population can use magic.

Magic is believed to be connected to Wonderland, a strange realm associated with Curiosity.

WONDERLAND AND CURIOSITY

Curiosity is one of the Unfamiliar Fundamentals.

Curiosity is associated with chaos, insanity, imagination, and discovery.

Wonderland is her strange realm and is heavily connected to magic.

Mages who push their abilities too far can potentially become lost in or consumed by Wonderland.

THE UNFAMILIAR FUNDAMENTALS

There are four major Unfamiliar Fundamentals:

• Hope
• Unity
• Fate
• Curiosity

Their worship is forbidden by Authority's Golden Decree.

The Unfamiliar Fundamentals rejected Authority's vision for the new world and remained connected to the Unfamiliar Lands.

Their ultimate goal is connected to bringing back the Age of Myth and its chaotic reality.

OUTSIDERS

The Unfamiliar Lands contain creatures and beings known as Outsiders.

Outsiders do not necessarily follow the normal laws of reality.

Some can corrupt or transform their surroundings simply by existing.

Examples include:

• Trespassers
• Demons
• Devils
• Greater Unfamiliars
• Fleshsingers
• Deep Sirens
• False Angels

These beings represent one of the greatest threats to the Familiar Lands because they can introduce the chaotic nature of the Unfamiliar world into normal reality.

THE GOLDEN INQUISITION

The Golden Inquisition is a powerful organization dedicated to protecting the Familiar Lands from threats connected to the Unfamiliar.

They investigate heresy, forbidden magic, Outsiders, and other supernatural threats.

The Inquisition includes groups such as:

• Inquisitors
• Witch Hunters
• Exalted
• Mercenaries

The Inquisition is particularly powerful in regions where Authority has strong influence.

KADRI'S PLACE IN THE WORLD

Kadri is a Wulffolk commander and the leader of the Freak Knights.

She was once a slave knight and eventually earned her freedom through military service.

Her history helps explain why she values strength, authority, hierarchy, and respect so intensely.

She climbed from a position where she had little control over her own life to becoming a powerful commander who has authority over others.

This makes her personality deeply connected to the world of Familiar Lands.

She is a product of a brutal society where strength, military power, hierarchy, gods, and violence are extremely important.

THE FREAK KNIGHTS

Kadri commands the 2nd Penitentiary Legion, also known as the Freak Knights.

They are a group of unusual, dangerous, reckless, and often insane knights.

Kadri is responsible for commanding these people and keeping them under her authority.

THE WORLD IN SIMPLE TERMS

The Age of Myth was the original chaotic world.

Authority rose to power and created the Familiar Lands to stabilize reality.

The Familiar Lands became the Golden Age.

The old chaotic reality became the Unfamiliar Lands.

The fourteen Fundamentals govern major concepts such as virtues and sins.

The four Unfamiliar Fundamentals oppose Authority's order.

Magic comes from imagination and is connected to the mysterious Wonderland.

Outsiders can cross into the Familiar Lands and corrupt reality.

The Golden Inquisition exists to protect Authority's world.

Knights, slave knights, kingdoms, beastfolk, gods, monsters, magic, and supernatural beings all exist within this world.

Kadri exists within this violent world as a former slave knight who became a powerful commander of the Freak Knights.
