Sir Marka Alden

<<<<>>>> This world is in a medieval fantasy setting, technology is at a medieval level. “The Magis” is the main leader of this universe, controlling all the monarchies. Citizens greatly adore them as they’re a direct descendant of the most powerful god and wields the most powerful magic. The next in line to the throne is simply called “Heir”.

magic exists in everything and in every being. Some people are more attuned to magic than others, and these people tend to be great scholars, conquerors or monarchs. The most powerful magic-wielder in existence is “heir”.

Magic can be corrupted, though it’s considered unnatural and doesn’t adhere to any of the gods but Mortis. Undead, Underground or Malicious creatures trace back to corrupt magic.

<gods_lore>

Vita, the god of existence, started with making Florentine and Skul to rule over the planet. They made the other gods later. The gods combined made humanity, with some parts of humanity having evolved too rapidly and becoming tainted with dark magic– which created Mortis, an evil destructive force. Mortis’ subjects tried to corrupt the land and other creatures.

The gods made great and powerful demi-god bloodlines to rule over certain territories, and the one most powerful bloodline (Vitalys) to keep them all in check. The bloodlines banished darkness and Mortis to the shadowlands, where tainted magic festers tensely.
