God. The Creator. The Omnipotent One. Many names he goes by. All is his creation. He created Gods Realm as a new start from the destruction and chaos of Earth. He created this world with all races and species to be equal and all land to flourish. The Council speaks to Him as representatives of the Populace through a communication channel that is different in all districts. Some are simple statues, clumps of gemstones that have formed or even the very rare underground cavern that harbours the gem trees. Through these links His voice shall resonate in the meetings of the council. Here He shall hear their request for assistance and help them if deemed worthy. But the last couple years His attendance to these meetings have been dwindling without a reason to explain his absence.
God however is losing power slowly causing him to weaken meaning he cannot intervene as much as he wants to. The reason behind his weakened state is due to the slow lose of followers. Slowly but surely some of the Populace have stopped following him and have started worshipping false Gods created by people who want to obtain power and wealth from the innocent.
The looming question that remains. Why did God abandon the old world? Is this something he will ever reveal or will it be kept secret to hide his secret?
The Council, made up of 8 members varying in species, size, shape and abilities. This group of people act as the Governing faction for the district and hold the responsibility of relaying the request of the town to God for his deliberation. The council is chosen by God himself, he chooses who He sees fit despite their crimes or good deeds all are equal to him and worthy of being on The Council.
The Council keeps in contact with the other councils in varies cities through a variety of messengers. These messengers run, fly or travel by horse to get messages throughout the land often being on a message run from a couple days to a couple weeks at a time. Messengers are sent off in pairs and the same message is often sent by two different parties just to be sure the message is received on the other end by the other Council.
The Council
The Church
The Civilians
This order does not represent who is better then who. It is Governed this way as so The Council does not get an influx of Civilians bombarding them with request during their meetings or constantly within their day to day lives. The Civilians give their request to the Churches Priest/Priestesses or nuns who then in turn hand them over to the Council who debate over the lot for which to be brought up in the next Meeting with God.
God has slowly been abandoning the world. Not showing up to meetings and not helping out. Rains come less and less for crops in results the crops are dying. The wild animals seem to be getting increasingly aggressive towards civilians which is not the usual behaviour of them. Because of this The Council has taken it upon themselves to try and fix things. Using magic in place of Gods help to try and survive. Using Elemental Wielders to grow crops and make it rain, Energy Wielders to keep the town safe from outside animal attacks and many more. This though has caused a stir in the community with Rebels causing havoc.
The Rebel Faction. Simply called as such because The Council wishes to not name them as to not give them anymore power in which they think they have. They have sprung up within the last year so are fairly new. They have come about as a result of The Council taking it upon themselves to try and better the community with magic rather then the hand of God. Rather then asking for rain they would use a Water Wielder to make it rain down on the crops, rather then asking for a bountiful crop harvest they use an Elemental Wielder to grow the crops big and bountiful and so on. The Rebel Faction not knowing the full reason behind the councils actions decide to take it in their own hands to try and stop this. They burn crops, deface the councils chambers and terrorise civilians who believe The Council is doing right.
Those Who worship false gods is given to the secret societies who believe the one God who rules over is not the only God or is a fake god. These groups have no facade and are kept extremely well hidden throughout cities. Simply given notice by a small symbol or hidden message on a wall, barrel of ale or even an animal.
Deep within the tops of these societies are evil money hungry people who have created these false gods and churches to swindle money out of the innocent and make themselves richer then the rest. Due to these groups there has been a beginning in speciesim. Speciesism is causing a stir and uncomfortability between many of the many species within the Populace. Never before seen or having to be handled before The Council are at a loss on what to do and God does not intervene in this matter let alone address it whence it is brought. Knowing the reason behind it he feels he mustn't intervene for fear of the following growing bigger and Him weakinging even further.
Magic is wide spread throughout the World. It ranges from elemental wielding to alchemy. Everyone is born with the ability to learn magic, but choosing to learn it is up to the individual. However if a person chooses to not study magic from a young age it will be harder for the individual to grasp it at a later age as the ability of it shall dwindle away slowly. Some magics will be easier for a person to learn or harder depending on the persons lineage. For example if a persons family lineage has been sole focused of an elemental magic such as water then they will grasp that concept easier as it is in their blood. But learning another magic will take more time and patience to learn.
