General Information

This page will discuss the mechanics and functions of powers and abilities within the Alphaverse. All information from this page is tied to the actual beliefs of how powers work within the world. Simply put, this is not just a system it generally covers the worldview of how people see powers.

  Qin
  
  Qin , or aura, is the supernatural energy derived from the ‘universe’ that grants an individual their powers and abilities. It has two types: internal and external energy.
  
  To obtain full access to Qin you have to open all Six Gates. The Sixth Gate grants the actual powers, all other gates grant unique abilities when opened.
  
  _{Note: The beliefs of where Qin comes from varies greatly from country to country / culture to culture. Most beliefs relating to Qin can be traced usually to religious beliefs since ancient times.}
  
  
  Who Gets Qin?

  ​
  It is commonly believed that only a given number of beings are born with the ability to utilize Qin.
  
  
  Divisions of Qin
  There are two forms of Qin.
  
  • - Ji / External Energy
  
  
  • - Uun / Internal Energy
  
  Both of these are only capable of being used for physical endeavors.
  
  
  
  

  Ji

  ​
  Derived: Somewhere from the Helio Continent.
  
  Ji literally means 'external energy' and is the invisible energy that exists outside and surrounds the body.
  
  
  Capabilities of Ji

  ​
  Ji, is released at the Fourth Gate. With Ji, you can perform the following:
  
  
  • 1. Allows user to strengthen muscles, skin, and bones to a certain degree
  
  
  • 2. Can be applied to strengthen objects / items to a certain degree
  
  
  
  

  Uun

  ​
  Derived: Somewhere from the Helio Continent.
  
  Uun literally means 'internal energy' and is the invisible energy that exists within and inside the body.
  
  
  Capabilities of Uun

  ​
  Uun, is released at the Third Gate. With Uun you can:
  
  
  • 1. Allows user to fortify internal organs to a certain degree
  
  
  • 2. Slightly increases recovery
  
  
  
  

  Mechanics of Qin

  Details on Qin and the Six Gates.
  
  

  Zon

  ​

  Zon is the invisible, unique energy that is emitted by those who have the potential to use Qin. Only certain types of machinery can pick up on Zon due to the unique frequency it emits, and only an Ether Class is capable of sensing Zon out of all other classes.
  
  Like Qin, Zon is invisible to the regular people.
  
  Zon is generally broken into Seven Frequency Levels.
  
  

  Zon Mechanics

  ​

  • 1. Can be used to detect those who may have the ability to use Qin

  
  

  • 2. Specially designed sensors or equipment can be used to detect Zon.

  
  

  • 3. Only the Ether Class can detect Zon naturally

  
  

  • 4. The frequency Zon emits, changes after each gate is opened.

  
  

  • 5. Can be used to vaguely guess through a series of tests, what Aura Class a person may fall in when their Sixth Gate opens.

  
  

  Zon Frequency

  ​

  Zon Frequency is what is used for tracking the different stages people with Qin go through. This is how researchers of Aurotology keep track of the various stages Qin puts a person through.
  
  There are Seven Stages of the Zon Frequency in total and each stage says which gate is opened.
  
  Stage 0- Simply states that none of the gates are open and that a person has the potential to unlock their Qin.
  
  All Stages 1 - 6 represent the gate that is opened.
  
  
  

  The Gates

  Covers all Six Gates and the abilities each one provides. Each Gate emits a color when opened and is overshadowed by the last.
  
  

  • 1.First Gate: Ennoia / Mind Gate

  
  

  • - Grants you the power to see, sense, and feel the presence of Aura Users (who are not masking their presence).

  
  

  • - Grants you the power to see, sense, and feel the presence of Aura Users

  
  

  • 2. Second Gate: Thyra / Throat Gate

  
  

  • Grants a minor ability associated to one's species or to one's Class

  
  

  Species	Racial-Power	Function
  Human	Depends on Player	Player will get to choose 1-2 abilities that is related to their Main Power. Example: Jack is a Earth Elemental, his Racial Ability is to feel vibrations within the earth to utilize it to detect others.
  Elf	Enhanced Senses	Grants Elves the ability to heighten their perception and awareness using any of their five senses; taste, touch, hearing, smell, and sight can all be heightened. Also grants them the ability of Night Vision.
  Dwarves	Durability & Empowerment	Grants Dwarves greater durability above their own species to resist higher damage. Also grants them the ability to temporarily become 2x stronger physically and mentally through will, anger, or fear.
  Giant	Size Adaptation	Grants a Giant the ability to shift their size through will power by either growing a shrinking. Giants can grow one foot larger, which will grant them 2x strength. And can shrink all the way down to 6'5; Doing this grants 4x strength.
  Sila	Animal Connection & Enhanced Body	1. Sila unlock the physical capabilities of their animal race. Example would be a Sila of the Cat race having enhanced balance. 2. Sila also gain the power connect to animals that they can influence but cannot control. Example: Kaz is a Sila of the Arachnid Race. This allows him to not only utilize the other unique feats associated to his species but also allows him to influence spiders, but does not grant him direct control over them. He can communicate and understand the behavior or actions of spiders and has the power to direct them to perform certain tasks provided they are capable or willing.
  Amyr	Genetic Power	Amyr unlock the ability to utilize 1 - 2 supernatural abilities associated with their Race. Example: Kalron is a Amyr of the incubus race. Two possible abilities would be Seductive charm and Enhanced Speed.

  
  

  • 3. Third Gate: Kardia / Heart Gate

  
  

  • - Channels Uun throughout the body.

  
  

  • - Allows User to utilize Uun (Internal Energy)

  
  

  • 4.Fourth Gate: Voluntas / Solar Gate

  
  

  • - Allows User to utilize Ji (External Energy)

  
  

  • - Does not allow user to utilize both Uun and Ji, but allows user to swap control between the two.

  
  

  • 5.Fifth Gate: Vasi / Support Gate

  
  

  • - Allows for User to Control both Ji and Uun, simultaneously or separately

  
  

  • - Does not grant powers

  
  

  • 6. Sixth Gate: : Exousia / Crown Gate

  
  

  • - Grants a person powers befitting their Class

  
  

  • - Is separate from Ji & Uun and will not be effected by Qin dampeners unless the equipment is designed to combat one's power specifically.

  
  Example
  Person A can have Qin dampening handcuffs placed on them, which will weaken their Ji and Uun to protect themselves, but if they have super strength as a power, their physical strength will not disappear.
  
  
  
• 
  
  Aurotology
  The study of Qin or supernatural energy and how it functions in relation to all beings.
  
  
  Species Capable of Qin
  • 1. Humans
  
  
  • 2. Elves
  
  
  • 3. Dwarfs
  
  
  • 4. Giants
  
  
  • 5. Sila
  
  
  • 6. Amyr
  
  
  Physical Average Level
  All Aura Users achieve a physical level that puts them on par with elite athletes. Ultimately an Aura User regardless of their physical state, will have Expert Olympic fitness capabilities that may be altered depending on the Class a individual falls under when the Sixth Gate opens.
  
  
  Aura Theory
  The Aura Theory, is the oldest and most popular theory to exist in all of Aurotology and was created by a person named Edwin Willryt who created this theory before the Dark Ages.
  
  This theory states all beings have the potential to use Qin, but not all beings have the ability to use Qin.
  
  What this means based on history, is that only those who can handle the strain of Qin are capable of using it. Thus only individuals who can handle the strain of Qin will display Zon as a sign they may have the potential to Awaken. Historically, any attempts at trying to grant powers to those who don't have Zon, has often led in death or severe injury, while those who have proven to have Zon have been more successful.
  
  
  Genus Theory
  The theory that states Qin is genetic and those who descend from an Aura User or come from a long line of Aura Users, will themselves inherit the ability to become an Aura User and will have the same Class as the relatives before them.
  
  This theory has been proven both true and false in some cases. There are a few individuals who come from bloodlines where some relatives have been Aura Users, but there have also been those who can be traced to Aura User bloodlines that never inherited the ability to become an Aura User.
  
  
  Awaken
  To gain Qin, you have to Awaken to Qin. Awaken is the process of opening the First Gate of the Six Gates. From then on you open each Gate one-by-one.
  
  It should be noted, it is impossible to open any of the Six Gates out of order, nor is it possible for any artificial means to force multiple or all the gates to open.
  
  There are three types of Awakening.
  
  1. Prajñā / Natural Awakening
  
  2. Vis / Artificial Awakening
  
  3. Bang / Trigger / Abnormal Awakening
  
  
  Natural Awakening
  Is to Awaken subconsciously with no external forces or influences aiding them. Naturalists awaken to their powers through a deep desire, not one that is brought through desperation or emotion but when that they are passionate for. One that they would be willing to trade almost anything for to achieve. The first Aura User in recorded history was said to have desired the power to end the wars between his tribes, and gained the power to do this through that passionate desire.
  
  Note: You cannot Awaken in this form if you are thinking, desiring, or pursuing Qin. People who lust for power or desire it will never obtain this form of Awakening. Natural Users are small in numbers.
  
  
  Artificial Awakening
  Is to Awaken by opening each Gate one-by-one through a series of specially designed tests that use Artificial methods to further the progress. These methods include: specially designed drugs, gases, or rituals involving Artificial Activation (where an Aura User uses their own Qin to open your gate). People who go through Artificial Awakening are known as Artificial Users because of their compatibility with the methods.
  
  Note: This is the most common form of Awakening for most Aura Users.
  
  
  Abnormal Awakening
  Is to Awaken by a Trigger Event, the rarest and least understood of all the Awaken Types. Triggers are incompatible to the methods Artificials go through or Naturals experience, and seem to Awaken only at a moment of unique trauma. A Trigger opens 2 - 3 of the Six Gates at the same time.
  
  Note: A nickname for these individuals is Big Banger primarily because of the negative connotations associated to Trigger Events and the damage they are potentially capable of causing.
  
  
  Trigger Event
  An event defined by the uncontrollable release of energy that radiates outwardly from the body of a person. People who are about to undergo a Trigger glow in the moment before Awakening.
  
  Note: Are the only ones who experience some sort of vision during their Awakening. These visions vary from person to person, but whatever they are only Bangers seem to experience them and retain pieces of what they saw.
  
  
  Effects of a Trigger
  The effects here are permanent and are alterations that can be influenced by a person's powers (even before they discover that actual power). Trigger Effects ultimately cannot be managed with any form of medicine or drug.
  
  
  • 1. Emotionally
  Emotional alterations can affect the emotional expressions, emotional understanding, emotional reactions, or responses of an individual
  
  
  • 2. Psychologically
  Psychological alterations usually alter the perceptions, thought process, views, behavior, and beliefs of the individual.
  
  
  • 3. Physically
  Physical and biological alterations are usually tied to the power of the individual and will alter a person's body in different ways depending on their power.
  
  
  • 4. Mixture of Two
  Mixtures usually take a unique combination of two out of the three previously mentioned alterations.
  
  Important: There have been legends from ancient history pertaining to beings who underwent a Omni Trigger, a Trigger that encompasses mental, emotional, and physical all in one. In these legends these beings have often been painted in folklore as devils, evil spirits, or harbingers of death and chaos.
  
  
  Spirit Nodes
  Number of Spirit Nodes In The Body: 361
  
  Spirit Nodes Spirit Nodes act like circuit breakers and are a part of the APS system (acts like the circulatory and nervous sytems). The Spirit Nodes manage the flow of both Uun and --somehow-- Ji in the APS system. These nodes allow for the supernatural energy of Qin to travel through every cell of the body and are what allow a person to use their abilities and power. They also act remove strain from the body that comes with opening each Gate.
  
  
  Mechanics

  ​
  • - Act as circuit breakers, regulating the flow of Qin throughout the body
  
  
  • - Allow a person to control both Ji & Uun
  
  
  • - Allows a person to safely utilize their powers without any harm
  
  
  • - Positions of the Spirit Nodes varies from person to person
  
  
  • - Can be seen by specialized equipment on a vague or obscure level. One can see the outline of the aura pathways but do not see the actual nodes themselves. It is more or less useless in a combative sense.
  
  
  • - Ethers are the only Class that are capable of seeing Spirit Nodes and their positions, but only those who have a specific power relating to sight can see them.
  
  
  • - By pushing Uun into a Spirit Node a person can disrupt the flow of energy within a certain part of the body, which weakens the physical capabilities of an individual and can be painful but does affect the powers associated to their Class
  
  
  • - All Aura Users can cause minor harm with Uun on a physical level to all beings (although for non-users it is more effective)
  
  
  
• 
  
  Pressure
  Pressure is the unique feeling or spiritual presence of an individual tied to their identity. Pressure radiates from anyone who has unlocked the First Gate.
  
  
  
  

  Capabilities of Pressure
  
  
  • Image
  Strength is not defined by a person's Pressure, but Pressure can be used by a skilled Aura User to give a false appearance of having more Strength than one really has.
  
  
  • Identification
  The Pressure of an individual allows you to determine who / what is within your range by sensing their presence. All Pressures have different signatures or wavelength feels to them. Without it, you cannot tell the difference from User A or User B, they will both feel the same.
  
  It should be noted that not all Aura Users are skilled at sensing or differentiating the differences between User A's Aura to User B's Aura but on average are capable of noticing that there is a difference. Similar to hearing footsteps behind you but not knowing who it is until you hear or see them.
  
  
  • Distraction
  Pressure is capable of being used by skilled Aura Users to force awareness or attention on themselves and can be used as a distraction tactic.
  
  
  • Recognition
  Pressure can be used to channel or project one’s emotional feelings towards one or multiple targets (although for All Users except those with Emotion based abilities, the genuine feeling will be vague and difficult to discern, but still be just as chilling and effective depending on the individual and the feeling they are projecting).
  
  If one is not careful, they can give their position or true feelings away by allowing their emotions to get the better of them.
  
  Example
  In a crowded room, Person A uses their Pressure to direct their excitement towards Person B. Person B senses the excitement but becomes very well aware that there is a looming, unstable presence nearby.
  
  
  • Masking Pressure
  Masking Pressure makes one invisible to all Aura Users and is akin to masking your presence. This greatly reduces the effects of Ji & Uun usage but does not affect the Sixth Gate of the individual. Masking one's Pressure is a skilled technique and is not a taught practice or commonly known due to the level of danger it puts an Aura User in.
  
  By Masking your Pressure you revert to a state where you are virtually normal but can still utilize some of your Class abilities without retaining severe damage.
  
  
  
  Terminology Recap
  Qin: / Aura: The supernatural energy that grants a person their powers and abilities. Is also loosely used to refer to the actual powers attained that define the type of class one is in.
  
  Ji: Is a subdivision of Qin, and is the external energy that surrounds the whole body (unlocked at the fourth Gate). It allows you the power to strengthen muscles, bones, and skin.
  
  Uun: Is a subdivision of Qin, is the internal energy that exists within the body (unlocked at third gate). It allows you the power to fortify the organs, nerves, and vessels.
  
  Pressure: The supernatural presence that all Aura Users possess, acts as an identifier, that can be hidden with training and masked.
  
  
  Aura Classes
  All Aura Users have a single Aura Class. There are four Aura Classes in total has its own list of fields and powers under them.
  
  The four Aura Classes are:

All species age at the same rate.

• Humanity

• Giant
• Monsters

• 
  
  
  

  Humans
  As far as old historic records can tell, Humans have been one of the most susceptible species to the monsters that exist in the world of Alfezia but also one of the most adaptable. Human beings are a copious species of diversity and are known for having been the first Aura Users to ever exists according to legend, and the few records that exist of the Dark Ages.
  
• 
  
  
  

  Amyr
  Amyr are beings who appear supernatural and can transform into a humanoid form. In the earlier period of the Dark Ages the Amyr tended to be at odds with most of the other species primarily due to some of their appearances and views. However as the Dark Ages progressed Amyr came to be known as a species that vehemently rejected Monsters and through this their relationships with the other species altered greatly.
  
  An Example of an Amyr would be a Banshee, a Kitsune, or a Nekomata.
  
  Amyr are known as being a independent species and are no longer associated to the concept of originating from Monsters. The species as a whole regardless of their ethnic origins are known to hate any and all associations to monsters and created a social system in the closing centuries of the Dark Ages known as the Bloodline System; which broke Amyr up into three social classes.
  
  Bloodline System
  Pureblood: are Amyr that descend strictly from the same specie and race they come from, and have no mixed specie blood in their ancestry.
  
  Half-Blood: are Amyr that descend from Mixed Bloodlines outside their specie, this includes Human, Dwarf, Elf, Giant, and Sila species.
  
  Mali-Blood: Also known as "Bad Blood", are Amyr that descend from Monster Heritage. Strictly speaking they are any Amyr that descends from a single Monster parent and a single parent from any of the other species mentioned.
  
  Note: Mali-Blood is a derogation used in slander of Amyr that explicitly descend from Monster heritage. It is due to the negative actions of Mali-Bloods in the Dark Ages, that specifically has them disdained by other Amyr, however the treatment of a Mali-Blood (if it is even known), varies from country to country and may or may not apply.
  
• 
  
  
  

  Sila
  Sila are beings who have animal appearances and humanoid forms. Based on their humanoid forms they are divided into two specie categories.
  
  I) Sila Eläin: Are Sila who have anthropomorphic forms.
  II) Sila Giza: Are Sila who have animal features but humanoid forms; an example would be Person A a Satyr or a Mermaid.
  
  Much like the Amyr, Sila were discriminated against in the early parts of the Dark Ages for their appearances. In some cases Sila had it easier than Amyr, in other records it says this is not as true, whatever the case was by the closing centuries of the Dark Ages most ridicule relating to Sila had virtually evaporated. Because of the ridicule and scrutiny they faced, Sila copied the Bloodline System, Amyr created to separate themselves from the association of Monsters.
  
  Pureblood: are Sila that descend strictly from the same specie and race they come from, and have no mixed specie or racial blood in their ancestry.
  
  Half-Blood: are Sila that descend from Mixed Bloodlines outside their specie, this includes Human, Dwarf, Elf, Giant, and Amyr species.
  
  Amaldic-Blood: "Cursed Blood", is the term given to those who descend from Monster Heritage. Amaldic's are those who strictly descend from one Monster parent and one parent of any other species.
  
• 
  
  
  

  Elf
  Elves are beings who are fair in complexion and have elongated or curvature ears. Legends say they were once allies to the ancient forests that existed long before the Dark Ages but when the chaos began, they were the first to leave the ancestral homes behind.
  
• 
  
  
  

  Dwarf
  Dwarfs are short, stocky in build, and known for their tribal hair styles, unique tattoos attained from their ancestral times and their favor for rough terrains. It is commonly known that some tattoos of the Dwarves tell a legend of their people and stone etchings tell the stories of heroes that emerged from not just their race but all the other species in the world during the rise of the Darkest Time.
  
• 
  
  
  

  Giant
  Giants are beings who range from 7ft - 9ft in size and height and from a historic standpoint were once known to favor size as a superior trait that defined one's superiority over other species. Average heights fall from 7ft 11 to the 8ft range. With anything near 9ft or exactly 9ft being the greater heights.
  
  The appearance of Aura Users during the Dark Ages however, ultimately played a large role in diminishing these views during the Dark Ages.
  
• 
  
  
  

  Monsters
  The monsters of Alfezia are known for their vast intelligence and being inherently evil. In the past attempts of communication all but failed, and any methods of diplomacy with the more intelligent Monsters, ended in nothing but war, manipulation, and betrayal.
  
  Not rare but not exceptionally vast these entities that started the end of all, once posed a threat to life in many ways and had it not been for the existence of Aura Users the world as it is, would be a very different place. In some parts of the world, they act wild; in others they are known for behaving in ways that show their intelligence is far greater than a glance would make you see; and in the rumors, there are those that are said to have intelligence as great as that of humans, capable of communication and speech just as we.
  
  Technology's advancements were made for the purpose of handling these monsters and was also made to ensure the survival of many nations, but as history proves clearly in every chapter ever found whether recent, ancient or legend, these monsters adapt and grow. And the more we grow, the more they learn.

  Short summary

  Agenta is a frozen, mountain dotted country. The people of Agenta are rugged, savage, near lawless survivalist society and damn good warriors, with an extreme adherence to tradition. They hold extreme reverence for aura users, Amyr & Sila. This reverence brought upon by faith in the monster known as Kindra, a massive lava beast recorded to have prevented the near destruction of Agenta. The worship of this beast is known as Kindrism.
  
  Tradition is at every step no matter how the technology continues to progress in Agenta. Tattoos are given to signify adulthood, to unlock your aura, and to mark your accomplishments. The 6 trails for becoming a slayer stay to today no matter how barbaric other countries see them, and family names are still closely coveted as the clan names of old.
  
  
  
  Government
  Theocracy; a form of government in which a religious institution is a source from which all authority derives.
  
  The main religion that controls Agenta is Kindrism. It is the worship of a gigantic monster who keeps the people of Agenta safe by keeping monsters under his control, and guiding the people of Agenta through his Herald.
  
  The bulk of the Agentian government is one of free form, "let the people handle it". It rarely gets involved with any minor crimes and the general legal code goes as follows,
  
  1. Do what you must.
  
  As a result this lack of legal code leads to a very weary, yet trustful society. Everyone is held to a standard of society by everyone else, and people band together against people who choose to take advantage of the lack of true legal systems. Some villages have their own legal systems but overall the main, central government steps in very little. As outside of the 3 major cities, the government simply lacks the funds to chace every criminal with a legal force.
  
  That is not to say that people can just run willy nilly and do whatever they want, it is just usually left up to the smaller governments within villages and cities. The head government controls many things within Agenta, the military, Violetcrest academy, foreign relations and so, but the lives of the people are none of it's business.
  
  Agenta is a theocracy and is ran by a religious leader. It is simple, Kindra himself picks a herald, they are to be selected upon the old heralds death and the cycle continues. A herald of kindra is usually characterized by glowing orange eyes, and being a powerful telepath from a young age with no training. The Herald of Kindra handles all things foreign from Agenta, epidemics within the country and any major projects within the country. They also keep a log of major events within Agenta within The Chamber of Kindra and lastly they relay any messages that Kindra may have to the people.

  Brief History
  During the dark ages Agenta was a collection of tribal peoples in the mountain ranges. They got by like anyone else, fighting monsters and living off the land the best way they could. During an unremarkable day, a voice began to tell the village elders of impending doom. Telling them that the only way they could stop it, is to travel a mountain referred to as "Agenta". Taken as a warning of the gods, the tribe began to move to the mountain, the tribe elders eyes glowing a deep orange as they moved closer to the mountain, and the eldest began to speak of protecting the mountain. Once arrived, they were met with the sight of a massive mountain erupting, rubble flying everywhere and then... silence.
  
  This was all long ago though, when tents were your house and heat was a campfire. Now the men have built sprawling cities and learned how to harness the hot magma for heat in the frozen wasteland. They know how to farm, and blacksmith. They have learned how to record knowledge for the future generations. They have learned how to induce aura within a person using rituals with the element of Sekrilite.
  
  Good things do not stay hidden. The isolated Agentians have met other countries in the last hundred years that they have quickly had to adapt to them. The Dukreians have lusted for their Sekrilite and seemingly their land in the past. However with new leadership they have proven good allies. The Hushurans have yet to respond to (or send back) to the envoys sent to their territory and they have heard rumors of ocean people.
  
  
  
  Facility: Violetcrest Summit
  A facility for those in the business of becoming slayers placed in Providence next to Lake. It is a huge structure placed in the relatively small town it resides in and is well known for producing Slayers capable of hunting monsters. They must complete the 6 trails before they can graduate.
  
  Monster hunters exist in many places and in Agenta there is a certain opinion about them. It is a position that is rarely commented upon within Agenta’s borders. The people themselves see a monster that saved them from extinction, yet they understand not all monsters will want the best for mankind. It is also well understood that not all monsters follow Kindra’s call.
  
  Some Agentian’s choose to undertake the task of this necessary evil, for one reason or another they choose to attend Violetcrest Summit to become dedicated monster Slayers and to travel across the world to slay monsters who do not follow Kindra’s call.
  
  Those who wish to follow this path are taught the ways of coordinated takedowns wrapped into a fighting style named Muckbrawl
  
  Tattoos & Awakening Rituals: Tattoos are also used extensively in the process to awakening the aura within an individual who wishes to undergo the treatment. It is a long and arduous process that involves extensive material gathering from all across Agenta. Most notably frostfire (a herb in the upper mountains), charcoal, and Sekrilite. Sekrilite being a rare earth crystal that is effective at helping the mind and body unlock the ability to unlock the gates and use their Qin. It is ground up and combined with regular tattoo ink.
  
  Once the ink is made. The awakening ritual begins with drinking frostfire tea, to numb pain and boost the immune system. Then a trained tattoo artist begins to work. Using the Sekrilite ink to draw patterns across the back. Each artist has his own pattern, but they all serve the same purpose. Once the tattoo is applied, once it dries it will start to amplify any capabilities of aura within a person. Immediately unlocking the first gate if possible. After each gate is opened it is recommended to return an artist to get additional tattoos to represent how experienced you are, though some wait till they have fully trained. Once the sixth gate is unlocked a special tattoo is added to the middle of the back to represent what you are capable of.
  
  These tattoos with the Sekrilite shards stay active forever, even once the body as died. They are apart of the person like anything else and they react with aura just as they did when it was applied. When a trained aura user pulls upon their abilities. Any tattoos they have will react accordingly. Some glowing with aura, some crackling with power, no matter the case they are permanent and a sign of great power within any Agentian who gets them.
  
  Aims: To teach every student how to effectively hunt monsters alone or in a team. To figure out more about the monsters, to learn more about them, and how to slay them. A simple aim that delves into endless biology, fighting techniques and training.
  
  The facility itself is built to offer wonderful relaxation, and its works while you are not learning. The usual schedule involves a rigorous schedule that seeks to strike a balance of hands on training and classroom learning. It is not for everyone, but those who make it through the training will find themselves fully competent.
  
  The advancement is simple. Unlock your gates through one way or another. Then train and complete the six trails.
  
  Ages: The age minimum for Violetcrest academy is 14, graduation is based purely on skill and how fast one can unlock the gates. 22 years of age is the closing date for Violetcrest academy and if you do not graduate by 25 you are considered a lost cause and will be dropped for someone else with more ability.
  
  Housing: The housing of Violetcrest Academy is top notch, the average student getting at-least 2 rooms to their self. Albeit each housing unit is outdoors but they are dotted all across the mountainside making for an easy time to unwind from a long day of harsh training. The houses are locked with a key that only that student owns. You are allowed the bunk up for extra benefits, such as a larger overall housing unit.
  
  Training: As stated, training is a mixture of things that are meant to make someone a great monster hunter. It is a 50/50 split of knowledge and physical training. You will need to know all of it to pass, as it is the academies job to make sure you grow into a respectable slayer, not a corpse. What is being trained will usually be posted in the lobby of the academy, and training groups are broken into classes depending on your gates opened. Specialty training exist with those with certain powers.
  
  Training is included but not limited to Muckbrawl (Agentian coordinated take-downs, teams of 2-5 working to take down a foe many times larger than them), usage of bows, crossbows, guns, swords, reaction times test, physical conditioning, mental conditioning, sparring and hunting lesser monsters who refuse Kindra's call in the outskirts of Agenta.
  
  After Training: After training in Violetcrest academy, accomplished students may apply to become a teacher. However those who do not are told to leave, as the academy lacks the space to store people who aren't being trained or doing the training.
  
  
  The Six Trails
  
  Trail 1 - Complete a pilgrimage to Agentis and leave an offering to Kindra.
  
  
  Trail 2 - Receive designs for your family weapon and somehow have it made. Either through your own skill or hiring someone
  
  
  Trail 3 - Receive a blessing from your father, mother, or priest of Kindra
  
  
  Trail 4 - Go on an hunting party to hunt down a beast.
  
  
  Trail 5 - drink the blood of their prey after slaying it. The entire hunting party does this.
  
  
  Trail 6 - Travel back home with a trophy as proof of your conquest. Then receive a tattoo of your family crest anywhere of your choosing. Marking yourself as an adult and capable.
  
  
  
  
  The Forbidden Trail - involves if you have done a crime so great to have your family name stripped from you. It involves dying in combat against a foe of incredible strength and is the only way to recover from extreme shame. People who undergo this fate are referred to as berserkers.
  
  
  Cities
  
  

  • Agentis
  • Providence
  • Orison

    ​
    Placed north of Providence towards the edge Agenta. It is the crowning jewel of the Agentian people. Being a massive city build into the great Kindred mountains that hold their ancient protector, Kindra. The mountains themselves are full of lava and it is harnessed to to keep the cities warm in the cold mountains and by blacksmiths across the city. Agentis is best known by outsiders for it’s massive monuments to Kindra, it’s blacksmiths flawless work and it’s numerous wonders of modern mechanical technology.

It is a wonderful, standing reminder of what the people of Agentis stand for and perfectly embodies the Agentian people, strong, unmovable, and indestructible. This monument is called "Kindra's Monolith"
    
    Another popular sight is for aspiring engineers called "Gearworks", a massive steel mill that works fully off geothermal energy. It is worked by 250 skilled engineers daily and produces the worlds largest amount of steel daily. It is a enigma of gears, machinery, and pure engineering never before seen on such a scale. Not to mention the workshops stationed all around the massive building, which produce nearly anything you could imagine with skill unrivaled across the globe.

    Placed in the center of Agenta. It is the middle point between Orison and Agentis. While not well known by outsiders, for the Agentian people it is a trading post of all kinds of goodies and artifacts found in the frozen wastelands. Not to mention a cozy place to stay at, with Lake Violetcrest nearby being frozen a good bit of the year acting as a wonderful place to ice skate. The few outsiders that do come to Providence don’t regret it.
    
    People of Providence

It has massive trading post of rare artifacts, wonderful jewelry, weapons fit for a slayer, exotic herbs and medicines, and so much more all up for purchase, not to mention Lake Violetcrest and the crystal clear waters that form into deep blue ice. Creating a wonderful spectacle when the sun rises of the sunbeams breaking across the ice surface to scatter light all across the clearing.

    ​
    Placed on the southern border next to Dukreus. It is seated into a mountain and sits right at the entrance to the mountain valley leading into Agenta proper. It is not rare for Slayers who do not wish to travel often come to here. To protect the country from monsters who do not follow Kindra's call. While much less of a mechanical masterpiece than Agentis, it is no less important, the lava within the mountains of Orison being used for many different machines and heating the towns themselves.
    
    The People of Orison
    The people of Orison are made up of people from all across Agenta, making it a relatively even split but still leaning in certain areas. With a large amount of humans, and Amry/Sila, in the city proper. Orison's outskirts have many mining cities made up of Dwarves and humans, who single handily supply all of Agenta it's ores.
    
    Tourist attractions
    Monster bones and ivory, craftsmen to ask for, inns, bars, and a town square to relax in. It is a weary traveler, or monster hunters dream. The Grinning Donkey Inn, just outside of the town gates is said to have some of the worlds best honeymead, and has even started to bottle it and ship it world wide from it's own brewery.
    
    Important Events
    The first meeting with Dukreus was had here, and the first time Agenta was ever recognized on a map with the discovery of it. In the point outside of the town the scouting party met with a group of slayers there are two flags planted. Once Agenta- and one from Dukreus
    
    
  
  
  
  Religions
  Kindrism is the main religion and the religion in control of all of Agenta. It believes in Kindra, is a monster that saved the planet from annihilation and to praise KIndra because of their protection from the monsters. They follow the command of a powerful telepath who is selected to listen and relay, called The Herald of Kindra.
  
  There are many Heralds Of Kindra throughout history, all of which are different but all stay at the Heralds chamber in Agentis. They record everything to be said by Kindra and keep it guarded under lock and key to prevent theft.
  
  Kindra their self is located in the base of the Agentis volcano and has an altar dedicated to them in the center Agentis. It is considered the site of all pilgrimages to Agentis and most who go there leave offerings to Kindra at the monolith known as "Kindra's Monolith". Agentian’s praying at the alters claim they can hear the voice of Kindra and can too feel a warmth deep within the cockles of their mind.
  
  Kindra is well known as a powerful telepath, communicating with many people and beast, even if preferring his herald. Many lesser minded beast are noted to be underneath his control. With bright orange glowing eyes as the telltale sign of a beast under Kindra’s command. These beast are treated with the same respect Kindra is given, with burning loyalty and a want to protect them at any means.
  
  Treatment and Usage of Monsters
  Kindra is capable of controlling monsters and as a result monsters in large swaths of land around Agentis and throughout Agenta have monsters who are peaceful. They do not attack humans and are easily distinguishable by deep warm, glowing eyes. The usage of these peaceful monsters range from pets, to work animals to hunting companions against monsters who refuse Kindra's call.
  
  If a monster accepts the call, it is beyond tolerated but allowed into cities and villages. It is not a common sight to see a orange eyes monster walking the streets of a town, or in a cold winter for monsters to walk into Agentis and to sleep through the harsh nights. The bodies of sleeping monsters surrounding Kindra's Monolith. The few outsiders who see this often see it as endangerment of the townsfolk, but they need not worry. For the monsters are like them, they only seek the warmth of Kindra in such a cold world, and they have no right to deny them.
  
  
  Treatment Of Shikari and Foreigners
  Shikari are treated no different from the average citizen, based purely on their choice of career. To achieve praise there must be more to it than simply the career status of a Shikari in Agenta.
  
  Foreigners tend to be treated with caution and wariness but overall, so long as they abide to the rules will be welcomed.

  Short summary

  Amacensia is a country with a strong base in religion and has maintained that focus since it’s establishing at the dawn of the Era of awakening 300 years ago. They see qin as the blessing of the spirits as well as a mark of approval from them, because of this Amacensia has the highest rate of qin users as they all aim to awaken and undergo a coming of age ceremony as children that lets them access the first gate. In fact Amacensia has a shocking 70% that awaken in some form. However they specifically care for their religion, the order of the seven, and there have been several rounds of genocides related to the various other religions that can be found trying to move in. The most recent of which was the wave of attacks on Amyr and Dwarfs 30 years ago.
  
  While Amacensia is mostly desert and ruin, the harsh conditions of their lives don’t lead them to expand, in part because they don’t have the might to gain ground in Dukreus, but instead they salvage through the ruins to find ways to get around obstacles and avoid the monsters at their every turn. The ruins are something that are just as valuable in their lives as their religion itself.
  
  
  
  Government
  The government of Amacensia is rather limited to the current ways. There are a number of laws and rules associated with the government positions. The most important of which being that they must be a high profile member of the faith.
  
  In terms of positions in government there are two; Ranked and Unranked. For Ranked officials there is the leader of the country, The Oracle; The Scriptor, the second in command of the country; as well as the six Pillars. Together this band of people are the creators, interpreters, and executers of the law.
  
  But ranked isn’t all there is. Every member of the fayth that has reached Apotheosis is an unranked government official and can deal out justice in accordance to the law of the city. In smaller cities that lack a nearby Pilar they are heavily relied on.
  
  The order itself doesn’t allow for anyone to get a ranked position without unlocking their Qin and the highest of those members tend to be the ones whom have unlocked the sixth state for many years. Because they associate qin with the blessing of the spirits near every individual aims to reach Apotheosis, the name give to those who unlock the six state. In general those who are unable to unlock higher level gates are expected to go into the medical field or related service job.
  
  
  Facility: Gran Palumporum
  
  The Facility of Gran Palumporum is a marvel located in the heart of the country. Though technically it’s two parts, the schooling of the church and then the Gran Palumporum curriculum. The facility is a dome like structure that has been hollowed out. The lights on the outside glow at night seemingly magically. The insides have been restructured into a sort of schoolhouse mixed with a small town.
  
  Age requirement: 10 years old
  Ages spend here: 10-16 years old
  
  Aims: The general aim of Gran Palumporum is to fulfill your greatest destiny. Children are brought here with the understanding that depending on how they perform they will be setting themselves on the path for their futures.
  
  From the very beginning they are divided into the blessings powers (gates). As they come in they are given an evaluation as well as allowed to decide what sector they want for their housing. Their schooling is generally the same except for the breaking off to practice the use of their gifts.
  
  Generally they come in with gate three unlocked but it’s not uncommon that they’ve unlocked higher levels with the low intensity training if the churches. Typically a good deal of people see advances in a year. If not they are put on the fast track, which either makes or breaks the kid. If they don’t improve within another two months they are put into the medical and unmarked officials track.
  
  Housing:
  Each child is allowed to pick where to dorm if they do wish. If not they are put into a four block dorm with others from their city or subsection of Amacensia. The block comes with four bedrooms, a full bathroom, a small living space with sofas and an ice chest, and an attached empty room meant for the group to personalize.
  
  Training:
  The training in Palumporum consists of three factors. Body, mind, and spirit. The body is trained through vigorous physical tests, spars, mock monster fights, actually fighting monsters, as well as sports of the country. The mind is trained through the curriculum of Amacensia and various experimental tests with ruins of tech. The spirit is trained through meditation and channeling.
  
  Life after the Gran Palumporum:
  
  While most kids spend most of their childhood here and are allowed to stay the last two years before going into careers or the Academy, Palumporum greatly discouraging this as it’s expected that you do your final decision in the comforts of home without the pressures of the church. Achieving sixth gate in Palumporum does not mandate going further. At any point an individual reaches sixth gate they are given an array of career choices and allowed to take up until their eighteenth birthday to decide what path they take.
  
  Most kids stay until their sixteenth birthday even if they achieve six gate earlier due to the connection born of the joint socialization in the Facility.
  
  Cities
  
  

  • Arbolanza
  • Domingente
  • Matastre
  • ???

  • 
    The City and Officials
    The capital city. Found right off the the southern coast buried in the trees of the first Arbolanza can be found. Every Amacensian will come visit this city at least once.
    
    The city is also the home to the Oracle, Adelaide Lamar, the highest power in Amacensia. As well as the Scriptor, Estelle LeBlanc, the second in command of Amacensia. While the pillars do not live here they all come once every three months for the coming of age ceremonies.
    
    The people of the city:
    The population of Arbolanza generally skews to humans at a hefty 50%. Followed by a 30% Sila and 20% Elven. At least of observable metrics. The people here are busy whether it be that you’re searching through the ruins, training with the highest officials of the country, or fighting monsters that threaten the balance of the spirits generally there’s always something to be done.
    
    Land description:
    Arbolanza is one of the most mysterious places in the country. It’s where people go through their awakening, typically. It’s where the main house of the religion is. It’s covered in the stained ruins of the battle against the people of the fatal four. It’s in the middle of the southern most forest, just off the coast at the southern end of the country. In reality it’s not that large in population and is very disconnected from each other as they built around the forest fitting in the houses and buildings into already established meadows around the ruins of the past. Arbolanza is one of the most threatened places in Amacensia which is why the city has plenty of qin users ready. It’s also well known that at the largest section is the grand citadel, which goes just as far down as it does up. What lies under, well that’s something only the Pillars have seen...
    
    Tourist Attractions:
    In general most people don’t come to Arbolanza for anything other than the church, even then it’s rare that people come outside of for their awakening due to the sheer amount of monsters.
    
    Major Historical Events:
    A great battle was fought here at the before the dawn of the era. Once the monsters appeared the already frail conditions of the country that stood before it were tested. Previous to this era Amacensia was not established but rather a group of small countries stood there. With the outbreak of the monsters the previous religion that stood broke into two and led bloody battles
    
    Festivals:
    Solstice of the Spirits: A Festival and a Tradition. Every three months the people of Amacensia bring their children who have reached the age of five to meet the spirits and see if they have been blessed by Aulan.

    The City and Officials
    Domingente is an old city that survived, for the most part, through the changing of eras. Though the city itself lived through it the people have been lost to time and replaced by others fleeing the havoc of the dark ages.
    
    It’s in this city that you can find the homes of the Pillar of Nalua, Justine. As well as the home of the Pillar of Qian, Gael. While both are rather not well received outside of the city for various reasons most know better than to voice that option about a Pillar.
    
    The people of the city:
    The population of Domingente generally skews to Sila at 45%. Followed by a 30% Elven and 20% Humans and 5% Other. At least of observable metrics. The people of Domingente see their town as place of glee and discovery. Everyday is an adventure into seeing what was there before. Rather than the large church of other cities the place they go to in Domingente is the aqueducts below the city as they explore and find more and more hidden gems around their city. Curiosity is a staple of the town even as they are watched over to make sure they aren’t bending any of the laws of the land.
    
    Land description:
    Domingente is a land that was largely structurally sound even through the collapse. Though there are parts that were worn away and destroyed the city of the past can still be seen clearly with stone buildings, spires holding up some wirelike material, glass roofs and random boxy shaped lumps of junk. Even as the tree have grown around the structures it’s still very clear that the detail work was quite the marvel to the next wave of people. The people live comfortably here, even if there is a lot of things that they find and never understand, as the land is rich and the water pure. Everyday someone finds some hidden thing in their homes or in some cases hidden places underneath. They just have to be careful of the monsters that appear in the strangest of places.
    
    Tourist Attractions:
    Domingente’s biggest draw in is the pristine structures of old. It’s not uncommon for people to come hoping to be the one to rediscover the wheel as it’s rather clear these things had a use at some point in history.
    
    Major Historical Events:
    The Purge: it’s well known that whatever happened to the world outside Domingente devastated it somehow despite the untouched land here the people were all wiped out or left leaving the space for the others fleeing from war. There’s no real evidence to either theory but it’s something everyone knows of but no one understands.
    
    Festivals:
    The dawn of the lights: An annual festival in late winter when the waters receded from under the Great bridge allowing for the photolithic Corals to be in full view under the bridge. Typically a festival meant for families with children and new lovers.
    
  • 
    The City and Officials
    Matastre is a fortress of a city, as well as the backbone of the country. It's by far the most important city as its the leading producer of well produce. On its own Matastre feeds half the country as well as provides a safe haven for majority of the qinless, at least the ones that follow the Fayth.
    
    It is here that you can find the sibling pillars. Régis , the Pillar of Yonoka, being the older sibling at the age of 29; and the Pillar of Gidan, Cyrille who is a mere 16 years old. Regis has held control of the city since he was a mere eighteen years old. Cyrille has joined him the last five years after mastering her Qin early on due to her rather unique awakening.
    
    The people of the city:
    
    The population of Matastre generally skews to Elven at 40%. Followed by a 30% Human and 29% Sila and 1% Other. At least of observable metrics. In reality Matastre holds most of the population of non Aura users due to its security they tend to become the farmers and builders of the country. When they leave the city they are allowed a guard if they are part of the fayth and journeying for the sake of the country. As a result Matastre is a bit more work focused as the people tend to feel the need to contribute to the country and repay the safety they have been guaranteed. Those who come here have drive and integrity or are forced to learn it as their peers are quick to drag people along into their own pace.
    
    Land description:
    Matastre is one of the most populous cities and by far the most well known. It’s built into a fortress which makes the area very secure from the monsters that roam outside the walls. The one point of vulnerability is the canals and aqueducts which flow under the city. It’s got a large deal of land in the borders and is the main producer in the country shipping out food surplus all along the country.
    
    Tourist Attractions:
    Matastre has vast lands of fields, and at harvest time it’s a beautiful site to see. Combined with the safety of the city Matastre winds up being a highly visited place. It’s notable that whenever it’s time for National festivals they tend to be located in Matastre.
    
    Major Historical Events:
    Matastre is one of the relitavely few cities that was established after the Dark ages, making it one with a full recorded history. One of the biggest events in the towns history is the development of the outer sanctum, a ring made specifically for an enclosed wild area, nearly two hundred years ago. While the inner sanctum holds all the residents and associated farmland, the outer is home to various animals and wild trees, shrubs, and foods. Previous to the building of the walls the monsters had a much easier time breaking in as well as ambushing the citizens whom went out to hunt.
    
    It’s well known that the first genocide against the Elves was started in Matastre and led due to their own connection with the forest leading them to accidently leave openings in the defenses in their attempt to have natural surroundings.

    The City and Officials
    The “city” of ??? Is not on any map. It’s not an official city. Most won’t ever see a person within the closest 100 miles. The only way you know this city exists is if you have lived here or were taught the signs from someone who was.
    
    As a result there are no officials that live in this area, but it’s important to note that the Pillar of Koton, Alcide, and the Pillar of Tabina, Sapphia, both are found here frequently in their journeys across Amacensia. Word has it that if you want to escape your past and get Amacensian citizenship this is the way. How much of that knowledge reaches the Oracle is something no one knows.
    
    The People of the City:
    The population of ??? Is largely unknown but the rejects can be found here so one could assume that there’s traces of those who lived through genocides in the city.
    
    Land description:
    The nameless settlement that can be found in the deep of the desert is one that is the epicenter of the ruined land. The ruins of an old city can reach up to four stories high and while usually torn open still have been structural sound enough to live in. By the large the town is disconnected from the rest of the country as the people of the fatal four and the believers in the three children fled here. Amacensia refuses them the right to anything but food through trade. While people are allowed to migrate out and join the fayth in general people don’t come here just because.
    
    Tourist Attractions:
    The only ‘attraction’ is the miles of ruins, Stone and mechanical. A fair few Amacensians lead expeditions through the rubble when it comes time to get more material.
    
    Major Historical Events:
    The various genocides would chase down whoever the Amacensians were currently fighting to this area, though most would be violently killed long before they reached this land it wasn’t impossible for them to reach here and find sanctuary in the miles of mazelike of ruins.
    
    Festivals:
    Generally they do not celebrate most organized festivals though the people have been known to disguise themselves with paints and shadows to go out into the other cites for their festivals when they are young.
    
    
  
  
  
  Religons
  Order of the seven:
  The main religion of the country as well as the government itself. The religion of the order of the seven believes in the seven spirits of the universe. Koton, the blessed: the youngest and the most caring of the spirits who gave the people the power of sight and the ability to discern good from bad. Gidan, the fierce: the one that gives the people the strength of body and will. Yonoka, the lover: who gave the people the ability to connect with one another and of emotional and physical intimacy. Qian, the wanderer: The spirit of knowledge and mental strength. Tabina, the mother: the spirit of life and breath who awakens the earth itself. Aulan, the awakened: the one that leads lost souls, that gave people their qin and the connection to the spirits. Nalua, the sleeping: the spirit that guides souls from their final rest to the next plane to let them become guardian spirits for a person of their choice or to guard a place in general.
  
  The fatal four:
  Shrouded in mystery as the members of the The order are quick to burn their texts or harm their members.
  
  The three children:
  The religious order of the three children fall under a polytheistic view. Their belief is that the world was created through three wandering spirits efforts; the eldest, the soul; the middle child, the magic; and the youngest, the builder. It’s said that these children once worked together to create the people of alpheza to please their father. However it goes on to say how the children became dissatisfied with their roles. That the father of the world itself would treat them unequally. While the children all gave their all into making the people and animals of the world only the youngest, the builder, was praised as they created the body that housed the soul and magic. For years they rebelled against each other making the “mistakes” of the world; the lame, the challenged, and the qinless. Though as time went on nothing changed. Slowly the children turned their malice upon others, raising up monsters to destroy both the father and their creations themselves.
  
  
  Treatment Of Shikari and Foreigners
  In general Amacensians are not huge on foreigners for one reason, they don’t acknowledge their religion. While Amacensians have no problem with those who come in peacefully and respect their customs and Laws, they do take offense to anyone entering that refuses to bend to their customs.
  
  In general the Shikari are treated great here and this is due to two factors; the first is having the blessing, the second is their pursuit of elimination of monsters. Amacensians of all three religions see monsters as a curse upon the unfaithful and a blight upon the earth. So much so that it’s common for an Amacensian to give a final fuck you by attempting to kill a monster at their own expense, which is not always to the death but can be.

  Short summery

  Established 768 years ago as a country and holding its current territory for 289 years, Dukreus is a landlocked nation with multiple rivers, sea channels and canals travelling through its regions, most of which were made. A nation born from rebellion of oppression and a civilization brought by the unity of its people, due to its vast size as the largest nation in the world it holds a variety of geography; from rocky terrains and mountains in the south, to hills and forests in the central to northeast, and deserts located in the southeast and west. The nation of Dukreus is well known for its multicultural society, military history, technological development, and the historic monstrosities it fought brutally against when in the throes of establishing its land. It is open to most religions and views so long as there is no threat to the stability of the nation as a whole. It is a society that sees the spark of greatness in the those who hold the Power of Qin, but is also a society that is critical of the actions and motives of those who have attained the power to become an Aura User.
  
  Travel is often conducted through the Aqua Railway System, or by using powered bikes on roads or aqua-ground based transport to move from area to area. There are also a series of mechanized pulley systems that use airlift based technology to facilitate travel from place to place. Known as the most technologically advanced country in the globe, Dukreus is a nation that is always seeking change and information, especially in the lost history of the Darkest Time.
  
  
  
  Government
  Head of State: Orion
  Consists of 9 officials who represent the country as one entity. These officials are elected as candidates and chosen by their predecessors as proteges who succeeded their predecessor at the end of that predecessor's service.
  
  The officials of Orion will always be a mixture of the six species; Amyr, Sila, Human, Giant, Elf, and Dwarf, will always occupy a seat in this position, no matter what.
  
  Length of Service: 15 years / One Cycle
  
  Judicial Head: Genesis
  
  Legislative Head: Antares
  
  Primary Practiced Religion: Animizm
  
  Secondary Practiced Religion: Arcana
  
  Form of Government: Democratic Authoritarianism
  As a democratic society, people are given the freedom of expression and individuality, they have their rights and so do the media, businesses, and most other organizations established within this nation; the laws apply not just to citizens but to legal immigrants, politicians and officers of the law-- but at the same time, the laws do not always apply to Orion primarily due to its history of having to break laws in order to maintain the safety of the country and its interests. Orion Officials are ultimately the most powerful people across the whole country, not just because they have the right to control aspects of the judicial branches and legislative branches but because they can attain certain forms of immunity provided the reason for immunity follows the law and justifications. And in Dukreus to insult or plot against the seats of Orion, is to virtually insult the history and development of the nation and its people. A move done in the past that has often led to death or worse.
  
  Influence & Power
  Orion has full power over all branches within the government.
  
  
  Facility: Celestial Spear
  Celestial Spear is an Aura Institution Program that focuses on the develop of Artificial Users and is a program that occurs in all States across Dukrues, that takes only people who have Zon and puts them through a series of training tests. Is divided into two institutions:I) Beta Spear II) Alpha Spear
  
  The Celestial Spear also focuses on developing Aura Users who are Natural or Trigger based.
  
  Need to Knows
  
  0. Every State has a Celestial Spear.
  
  1. Every citizen in Dukreus is required to go through a check up at the age of 8-9, to test to see if they have Zon.
  
  2. Citizens who do have Zon are put in a online database that records their name and age.
  
  3. At the age where one is capable of going into a Beta Spear Program, a notification will be sent to inform the individual they have the choice of joining this program.
  
  4. People that choose to go into the Celestial Program will have some of their education fees diminish in cost greatly, so long as they continue participating in the program. In some cases scholarships are given.
  
  5. Only people who Awaken within the first three weeks, are allowed to continue the program.
  
  6. Convicted criminals / Felons are not allowed to participate in any of these programs.
  
  7. States will pit participants against each other in training scenarios, to gather research and information. This means a Beta State in one state, will face off against a Beta State in another state. And an Alpha State in one State will face off against an Alpha State in another state.
  
  
  Beta Spear
  Entree Requirement: 13+
  
  Preferred Ages: 13 - 16
  
  Required Training Time: 2 years
  
  General: The Beta Spear focus on unlocking and studying the First, Second, and Third Gates. They divide people into groups based on categories once the 1st Gate is opened: Gender & Sex and Age & Experience.
  
  Groups are generally formed by separating sexes from each other, and only allowing interaction when training or Free Periods, occur. This is done more due to the fact that the facility does not often discriminate in terms of the background of individuals and has freely allowed even criminals to enter and participate in its program, which is why Age & Experience was added to prevent any unwanted issues from arising.
  
  Training: Training usually involves physical tests of some form; usually involving exercise drills and those that usually put the practice of one's Aura at use. Field runs, educational tests, and fitness observed trials are conducted in general on different levels for each group.
  
  Basic levels of self-defensive combat is taught and put to use in this stage.
  
  Beta students will be pit against low level Monsters in controlled environments to test their capability in handling them.
  
  

  Alpha Spear
  Entree Requirement: 15+
  
  Preferred Ages: 15 - 22
  
  Required Training Time: 2 years
  
  General: Alpha Spear focuses on unlocking and studying the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Gates. People who complete this institution, are given a beaming recommendation to Nevma's Academy and also recommendations to any other place they might be interested in seeking a future career. People are divided into groups based off : Age, Combat Expertise and Known Background.
  
  Training: People in the Alpha Spear program are taught intermediary levels of self-defensive combat (if they don't already have advanced experience in it), and are put through highly advanced forms of fitness tests and participate in sparring practice (which is recommended more for those who will be going into Nevma's Academy).
  
  Alpha students are placed in survey environments for their physical training. These environments are environments that are not controlled or managed by strict measures, but focus on real life scenarios in most cases.
  
  Alpha students will also be pit against varying Monsters of varying difficulty degrees in a open field to train them how to work in situations where they may be outmatched or outnumbered.
  
  Training of this sort is done with the intent to teach the individual how to fight on their own, work with others, or handle themselves when faced with stronger opponents or larger numbers.
  
  
  
  States & Cities
  
  Oimora States: 39 States that made up Dukreus during its founding. People born from one of these States are known as full-blood citizens
  
  Socius States: 32 States that were once Sovereign States; were absorbed into Dukreus and became state members. Each State has its own unique culture and has played a minor role in Dukreus' development. People born from one of these States are known as honorary citizens.
  

  • Gladion State
  • Orrik State
  • Vestroia State
  • Buketta State
  • Tuviksta State

  • 
    
    
    
    Details: The capital state that holds the capital city. Gladion is known for being the base of Dukreus during its founding, and is the top place where all political and military discussions occur. It is also home to the Orion Officials and the most technologically advanced state in the country.
    
    Land Descr: An Oimora State. Located on a peninsula that is shaped like a pendulum, Gladion has quite a few forests within its regions and is known for having the least issues with any monster activity. It has a history of eradicating and pushing all the monsters that lived in the surrounding waters and forests, out or simply just straight up murdering everything. The patch of land that connects it to the rest of Dukreus is what grants it access to multiple canal routes for travel and transportation purposes, and it holds the Solar Star, the building in which Orion resides in.
    
    Climate: Holds summer, winter, fall, and spring as its seasons.
    
    
    • Merkanos City
    Demographic: 27% Human, 13% Sila, 18% Elf, 10% Dwarf, 17% Amyr, 15% Giant
    
    Details:Is the capital of Gladion State also known as The Capital.
    
    Culture: People from this city tend to be known for being strict in principle, careful in appearance, and action. This may have something to do with the fact most important politicians work within Merkanos City, and scrutiny tends to be vocalized often, sometimes giving the sense the opinion of others is highly valued (even though that couldn't be further from the truth in the way some political figures behave).
    
  • 
    
    
    
    Details: Orrik is a state that is known for being the hub of celebrity fame, status and renown for being a state of constant innovation. Orrik State is home to some of the best stages ever built and made for musical performances and holds some of the greatest paintings and statues from the past. Even a few from the early areas of the Darkest Time can be found in many of its art exhibits. The state is both a place commonly associated to 'making it big', and is also known much like Berkshire State, for having a history with gangs.
    
    _{Mafioso: Mafioso are lawful, federal organizations that create pseudo gangs out of units, and work to diminish gang activity in cities / states, where local law is having the most trouble or crime activity is most high. In the past, they were strictly made up of federal and law officers, however at some point the indoctrination of captured criminals looking to turn over a new leaf allowed felons to join a Mafioso and do their part. Mafioso strictly handle the clean up duty of most criminal activity related to gangs and out of control mafias. Orrik is a state known to have the most Mafioso in its regions.}
    
    Land Descr: An Oimora State. Located near Agenta, and is a Northeastern state with vast forests on its east and the Evergorge to the distant south of its cliffs. It has multiple cities peppered across its regions and quite a number of suburbs that vary in safety.
    
    Climate: Chilly summers, cool winters, tends to have quite a bit of rain.
    
    
    • Torquerra City
    Demographic: 30% Human, 20% Sila, 28% Amyr, 22% Elf
    
    Details:Torquerra is the capital of Orrik State. It holds one of the greatest tourist attractions-- the Museum of Classical Arts, a place that holds many of the historic symbols to the religion of Animizm. Some of the paintings of Pantiff Luvicchi’s art are featured in this museum.
    
    Culture: Status isn't everything but in Torquerra, it sometimes tends to be. No, the rich don't rule the poor, no poverty isn't everywhere, and no, criminals don't prowl every corner of night-- but there's something about people who make it big in that city or people who are descended from fame that just seems to grab the attention of the state. It is a place that has attracted quite a number of tourists due to its various ways of honoring the famous and gifted, and is known for also being a place that tends to dabble in the finer qualities of life, even if it might be a bit too pricey for others.
    
    
    • Optil City
    Demographic: 44% Elf, 20% Dwarf, 4% Giant, 21% Human, 11% Amyr
    
    Details: A popular suburb west of Torquerra. Mafia (and gangs hired by them) tend to be within these regions and enforce the law in various ways from fear mongering to extra security that ensures the overall security of tourists and those who come into the city for a good time and don't try to cheat any business out of their share. Optil is primarily popular because of its various casinos, entertainment resorts and establishments, and gambling fun. It is a place to have a good time and is a overall safe place because of the Mafioso that watch over its regions.
    
    Culture: It is common knowledge to avoid crossing the Mafia within these regions. Also sometimes called the "Hemotykes of the Capita" in translation "Blood hounds of the Government." Unlike Mafia / 'family gangs' that work to control the law, these gamgs have been known to work under the law in bringing down their enemies.
    
    To cross certain groups, is to virtually warrant yourself a bad time as the reach of some high end Mafia groups doesn't just stop at Optil but varies in different cities also. A common stereotype about Mafia is that they are a family based organization (but in truth they usually aren't), in fact they tend to be mixed of various non-blood related members and simply work together under a specific code of conduct. Most Mafia are respected like a law officer in these parts but any respect they have is because the Mafioso organization in the region has seen them fit enough to keep around. Very few 'legal' Mafia's exist and the ones that do are allowed to maintain their existence because of their ties with a Mafioso Division.
  • 
    
    
    
    Details: Known as the home state of Mages. The state of Vestroia is a Oimora State that houses the most Mages in the Central parts of Dukreus. It is known for holding the WizTech organization, which is a prominent business in Vestroia and ranked number two in the manufacturing of materials specifically used by Mages and law enforcement. It is a state that also holds a council instead of a mayor, that are elected into office.
    
    Primary Religion: Arcana is the main religion practiced in Vestroia. It is the only state that has a smaller percentage of religious diversity.
    
    Land Descr: Vestroia state is a Central state with a vast forest located on its south and is separated from the southern states by the Misty Mountains. The state is also known to be home to the Archmage (akin to the pope) who is the most respected mage across the state and plays a role as a political figure.
    
    
    • Sumar City
    Demographic: 27% Elf, 20% Amyr, 15% Sila, 20% Human, 10% Dwarf, 8% Giant
    
    Details: The Capital of Vestroia. Sumar City is particularly known for holding the departments that supervise the eight fields of 'Magic'.
    
    Culture: Vestroians have one thing in common and Sumar City embodies this perfectly. Pride, in their state. Vestroians while Dukreians, tend to hold a sense of individuality that slightly separates them from most Dukreus States and that is primarily due to their identification as Mages. People from Sumar, often talk more about the unique wonders of Vestroia than they do about any other state. It is a place full of people who strongly believe that Aura Users and Mages, while somewhat similar-- are completely different in semantics and function. A sentiment that is quite common in not just this city, but in most cities surrounding it.
    
    
  • 
    
    
    
    Details: Buketta is a Socius State, and is a state with an aristocratic noble government that is subservient to Orion. The state is controlled by 9 noble families that are broken into three groups, based off religious views and territorial interests. Citizens that have sided with these three groups wear color coordinated clothes associated to the group. These three groups consist of three of the highest ranking noble families in each group with similar ideologies, interests, and beliefs that are working together to conquer one another's territory and persuade the citizens of the opposing group to side with them. These three groups were once four, but the fourth was terminated 71 years ago, and the three parties have been fighting every since. Orion has stepped in recently to try and settle the issue but conflict still arises now and then among these three parties. The groups are: the Magistrates, Rayiys, and Mjrds.
    
    _{Important: The Rayiys and Mjrds have been secretive allies for the past 40 years.}
    
    Demographic:45% Amyr, 35% Human, 20% Elf
    
    Main Religion: Arcana
    
    Government System: Aristocracy
    
    Land Desc:Buketta is a Southwestern state that holds one of the hottest and most dangerous deserts separating it from Amacensia’s border. The country holds large walls to protect it from the monsters that exist on the other side, and defensive machines that shoot arrows that protect these walls.
    
    Climate: Hot summers, Thunderstorms.
    
    Culture: The familial status one is born from plays a pivotal role in one’s social and economic standing. If you are born from wealth, fame, or nobility you will automatically be favored in society so long as the historic value of what your family has done is favorable to the nation as a whole. The Magistrates, Mjrds, and Rayiys are the highest ranked members in the social hierarchy.
    
    1. Magistrates
    Wear purple, gold, and red colors. Citizens wear purple colors.
    
    2. Rayiys
    Wear Blue, cyan, and violet colors. Citizens wear navy blue and light blue.
    
    3. Mjrds

  • 
    
    
    
    Details:Tuviksta is a Socius State and a state made up of eight different settlements, each one led by a council of chiefs elected into their positions. Each settlement holds a different view in the raising and nurturing of the young, but the common tradition all settlements share is the glyph or picture like style all their clothes tend to have. Tuviksta is a traditional state, and is the only state known to have a consistent Elemental type derive from each of its eight settlements. These eight settlements can be divided by the type of Element that originates from their city.
    
    
    1. Lightning
    2. Fire
    3. Ice
    4. Light
    

    
    5. Smoke
    6. Mud / Earth
    7. Air
    8. Shadow
    
    
    _{Mistlane Valley is managed by a group of Aura Users who act as guards against any foreign creatures that may appear and pose a threat to Tuviksta as a whole.}
    
    Demographic:20% Giant, 29% Human, 11% Sila, 10% Amyr, %15 Dwarf, 15% Elf
    
    Main Religion: Azionism
    
    Government: Chiefdom Council
    
    Land Descr:Tuviksta is a Southernmost State and is located on cliffs nearby the distant mountains. It has a vast grassland, swamps within its regions, and some marshes. Certain areas are closed off due to historic issues with creatures in its area and animals as well. Evergorge is located on the northeast of Tuviksta, and is massive chasm that is not far from the haunted and forbidden land of Mistlane Valley; a place that is said to held quite a number of strange creatures and once threatened to destroy Tuviksta in its past had it not been for the hand of Dukreus reaching out to support the scattered tribes nearly 300 years ago.
    
    Culture: Elders are to be respected, and the familial traditions are to be upheld. In Tuviksta to respect your betters and seniors is considered a simple act of common decency and the first step to paving a bright path for yourself. Principles are held highly in this state, behavior in both public and private are groomed by not just one's family but by their community. It is better to say that in this state its settlements work more like ants and pay a somewhat larger focus to collectivism more than pure individualism.
    
    Aura Users are considered gifts from the spirits, and to abuse the power given to them is to disgrace oneself, insult one's family, and slander one's community-- an act worthy of exile and banishment (which is not done often and is done only as a final resort). Clothes in Tuviksta are done with unique patterns that paint a picture. Each picture has its own story to tell that speaks of a historic legend, originating from the historic tribe an individual descends from.
    
  
  
  
  Religions
  • Azionism
  • Animizm
  • Arcana
  • Daunism

  • 
    Symbol: Sun with a crown of stars
    
    Azionism is a social and ethical philosophy that revolves around the belief that in order to achieve a stable life one must follow social and ethical morals, customs, and traditions that promote peace and stability within every aspect of one’s life; simply put, a civil state will be a civilization that will prosper above all trifles. Azionism as a result while it is considered a religion by some, is not seen as a religion by those that practice it and is instead seen as a philosophical way of life.
    
    Those who live for the sake of a stable, peaceful world are granted Qin.
    
    
  • 
    Symbol: Multiple stars behind a vague glowing humanoid shape
    Highest Position: Archbishop
    
    Animizm is monotheistic religion that has pantheist views. It is a religion that states the most powerful spirit in the universe is Altair, and his servants are supporters of mortals who aid those that strive towards utopia and will abandon those that stray from the path of righteousness to the devil offspring of monsters that pervade the world known as Aberrants.
    
    Animists worship Altair as a powerful spirit, despise monsters and call them Aberrant, and believe that Altair promotes the welfare of life with his servants, the Sigils; spiritual beings who bestow Qin to those who have the potential to make a significant impact on the world. It is up to the individual in how they utilize their Qin and is believed that abusing the abilities will eventually lead to a horrible end.
    
    Those who do not abuse Qin and have performed historic actions of valor, are called Saints in death.
    
    
  • 
    Symbol: Wand shooting sparkles
    Highest Position:Archmage
    
    Arcana is the philosophical belief that Qin comes from the world itself and it is bestowed by Arcane Spirits to only those who were born with the necessary genetics to be capable of handling its usage and manipulation. People who practice Arcana are also known as Magi.
    
    Aura Users of Arcana are known as Mages. For more info message The Regal Rper
    
  • 
    Symbol: Tear stain
    
    Daunism is the philosophical belief started by Dante the Wise. Dante's philosophy states that the monsters of the world, known as Kidoni are not truly evil, but are spirits that were betrayed by their brethren the Metanites, and thus desire revenge against all Aura Users who are being deceived with power, in exchange for spiritual enslavement.
    
    Daunist that have Qin are known as Rogues. It is their duty to crush all Aura Users and non-believers by making them see the falseness of their beliefs.
    
    _{Note: Practice of this belief has been greatly minimized due to extremist actions in the past, and most Daunists are carefully watched by the government.}
    
  
  
  Treatment Of Shikari and Foreigners
  In Dukreus Shikari are treated with the same respect you would give a law officer, however Orion tends to give Shikari the responsibility to maintain law and ensure little harm becomes of the cities they are given the freedom of travelling to, and will be held accountable for any collateral damage that occurs under their watch.

  Short summery

  The chilling country of mysterious origin, Hushara is the land of the forest who seemingly came out of nowhere. Not much information is known outside of its forests and harsh winters due to their secretive nature. As a basic guide to those on the outside trying to learn about what goes on beyond the forest, some of the main features to note is that Qin users are treated like saints who get carted away to develop their divine gifts and that they worship the forest as if it were alive. Although no can really confirm if The Forest is actually alive from the outside, Hushara is a Qin hot spot as it houses many Qin Users even if there isn't always a lot of Hushurian Students at the Academy.
  
  Due to its overwhelming forests, Hushurians are divided into five main sectors that have different variations of what Hushara (or Hushura) is. There is The Wolf Sector, The Fox, The Snake, The Spectral, and Seer; despite being divided Hushara remain united as one under their Savior.
  
  
  
  
  
  Government
  
  Theocracy; is the main form of government.
  
  The Head Priestess / The Red Priestess Shintari is the leader without a question as of now. While in the past they were run by the Holy Council. The Holy Council that originally led the land has now been spread out with the power that mirrors a lord in their designated sections. They are now called High Priests/Priestesses and while they have a power of their own they still follow their savior word for word without hesitation.
  
  These five other priestesses are divided by the sectors they hold dominion over and are known as the Council of Shintari.
  
  
  
  • - The Alpha Priest(ess) - The Core/Muscle of the Wolf Sector
  • - The Flight Priest(ess) - The Movement/Wings of the Spectral Sector
  • - The Serpente Priest(ess) - The Silver Tongue of the Snake Sector
  • - The Fox Priest(ess) - The Heart of the Fox Sector.
  • - The Seer - The Eyes of The Seer Sector
  Brief History:
  Long ago the people of Hushara were at war with a forest, Red Riders being their sole defenders against the forest whose spirits sent them nothing but trouble.
  
  Divided from the wall of trees, Hushara had six sectors that fought through the forest to connect with each other using the finest Red Riders. Each Sector had a chosen High Priest(ess) who watched over their designated area with their divine powers.
  
  
  One day a girl of the 6th Sector ascended with powers from the heavens became the chosen guide between the Forest and the People of Hushara. After her temple rose, Hushara found their ray of hope and are now able to work with the forest rather than against it. The forest will protect them as long as they respect it and thus the gates slowly opened to the world around them with their more manageable situation.
  
  
  Although their situation has changed for the better, the people of Hushara pay the price under the veil of the chilling winds that conceal them.
  
  
  
  Facility: Ascendence Temple
  
  The Ascendance Temple is a large facility that is a mix between a school and a temple for what people believe to be Saints. There is no age requirement for entering the Ascendance Temple, and it is often without a choice that anyone with a sign of Qin is brought to the 6th Sector.
  
  Residents here will be able to decide at the age of 16 whether or not they want to train into being a Priest’s Underling or if they will pursue an Academy beyond their borders. Those who decide on the latter will reside at the Temple until they are of age to seek an audience with Shintari to receive her blessing to leave.
  
  Those who find themselves placed under Shintari’s divine protection are treated like saints, their gifts being raised by the Priests to help them flourish which often puts them ahead of their peers if they decide to leave for the Academy.
  
  Sectors
  
  The Wolf Sector -
  
  A little girl in red skips down the path, into the forest she will go where she will never be seen again as far as anyone knows. She brings forth treats to the Spirits in exchange for their blessings, and up she will rise where there chosen ones go.
  
  The largest and most dominant Sector of Hushara that leaks around other sectors in a tentacle-like pattern on any version of a map Hushara has. They house the Alpha Priestess, her temple buried in the woods in the undergrowth where only those who are welcomed can sniff out her den.
  
  The creatures range from manageable to ravenous depending on which direction you walk but for the most part, this sector is one of the more “calm” areas of Hushara. The cluster of people can range from a village to a city that is scattered around the Sector, linked together by trading routes. People of this Sector tend to worship The Wolf Spirit.
  
  
  The Snake Sector -
  
  The red flower blooms for all to see, a beauty so rare it takes off and leaves. Off in the forest, they will blossom, providing good fortune to the garden they came from.
  
  This sector wraps around close to the borders of the No Man’s Land (the strip of land in which Hushura and Dukreus don’t take residency). The full extent of the Serpente’s Sector is still up in the air as certain parts of its land are hidden in burrow villages. The Serpente Sector has few towns and many villages that are linked through trenches dug out from years of work with a layer of snow freezing over.
  
  The Serpente Priest’s temple is a labyrinth of burrows (although many find that finding a pure stream is the easiest way to navigate to the temple) where only the most unrelenting thinkers will find it.
  
  The creatures range from unnerving to fairy tales meant to scare the little ones. There’s an uneasy feeling other Sectors get from the Serpente, never truly knowing what is on their mind . . . Except that those from this Sector say Hushura verses the standard Hushara.
  
  
  
  The Fox Sector -
  
  Something isn’t right with the ones in red; Maidens taken before they’ve bled are guided to the forest where their souls transcend. Sometimes they return but never are the same. The church bells ring over cries of children never to be seen.
  
  The Lesser of the Glorious Five; The Fox Sector’s population taking a major hit in the past and rebelling villages of the past being overtaken by the Forest’s Will. They hold one solid piece of land in the inner parts of Hushara, towns here always having a big chapel where only the Nuns and the ones in red are allowed in.
  
  The temple of the Fox Priest(ess) is located in the center of the Fox Sector’s territory, surrounded by a tempting garden. Anyone is welcomed to seek council with the Fox Priest(ess) if they’re home.
  
  Creatures here flip from cute to “holy shit it ate billy!”, acting on a pure impulse that can work in the Sector’s favor . . . at times. Things are pretty tough here, with many of the connected villages being overrun by the forest and many of the people in disagreement with the Goddess and her Red Ones. Are their troubles because of their weak faith or is their weak faith because of their troubles?
  
  
  The Spectral Sector -
  
  The red bird is a rare bird, we wish they would stay. The red bird is always welcomed, but often they fly away. To where they go is unknown, and those who know find a flock of their own.
  
  Scattered is the Spectral Sector, holding specs of land that seems like someone just blindly tossed a dart on the map and marked it as Spectral territory. Along with their land up in the air are small villages sprinkled around where those who unable to travel tend to stay. For those who are able to spread their wings, these villages are nothing more than pitstops as they venture around the upper areas of Hushura with the letters of others being carried with them.
  
  
  The Spectral Sector residents live in the treetops on areas that have a thick snow layer that has frozen in place. These are dangerous areas and a seasoned traveler is often leading the flock in their travels since they can determine which path is thoroughly frozen. It is rumored that the “true” residents of the Spectral Sector have been freed from the constraints of gravity itself but no solid evidence can prove this. Due to the nature of the Spectral Sector, their danger levels come from the land itself and less of the creatures as not many of the creatures below them can find their way up in the trees.
  
  In regards to where the Spectral Priest(ess)’s Temple is, no one really knows and people who claim to have seen them always point to a different place on the map. Many Hushurians theorize that it’s a moving temple and very few have actually stepped foot in it. One thing people know for sure is that the Spectral Sector is very close to the Seer Sector and Shintari. Some residents of the Spectral Sector are lucky enough to find a place in Shintari’s temple.
  
  
  The Seer Sector -
  
  The price for peace is paid in red; A sacrifice that cannot be said. If anyone were to know, could they live with the truth of the ones in red?
  
  The most special and horrifying territory that no one can really find. It is rumored that the Seer Sector is all of the dense gaps between the other Sectors of Ushira. People from this Sector live in small clusters hidden from the other Sectors, never saying much outside of the normal praise for Shintari.
  
  Out of all of the sectors, this one is the most accepting of Amyrs and Silas, or at least that is what has been noted since nothing can truly be confirmed with the Seers. The Seer’s Temple is located in the densest part of Ushira’s forest surrounded by creatures of the dark with all-seeing eyes. They also seem to be closely tied with the Goddess, only becoming an official Sector when she graced the mortal realm.
  
  Creatures famous in this sector is nightmare levels bad, grabbing you from 20 ft away before you can even scream. The residents seem to be just fine for some reason despite the monsters that lurk in their corners. An odd truce is held between the grounded Seers and the souring Spectrals who seem to work closely with the 6th Sector of Shintari.
  
  
  Religions
  Hushara’s religion revolves around the Ascendant One, Shintari and The Will of the Forest. In this country, it is believed that the forest is alive and is capable of destroying them as much as it is able to provide for them. Shintari the Ascendant one is often depicted as a Goddess choosing a mortal form to commune with the Forest so that Hushurians and the Spirits may live in harmony.
  
  
  Within the Forest are Five Sub Gods divided by sectors. The Wolf, The Snake, The Fox, The Spectral, and The Seer.
  
  Each Mini God provides different blessings and embodies different ideas:
  
  The Wolf values loyalty, strength, and unity in a community.
  
  The Fox favors passion, ingenuity, and emotional attunement.
  
  The Snake smiles upon deception, ambition, and rebirth.
  
  The Spectral embraces freedom, curiosity/mystery, and connections.
  
  The Seer shows promise for knowledge, control, and intuition.
  
  
  The relationship between the Sub Gods tend to vary and aligning yourself with one may put you at odds with another which is why people seek the Blessing of Shintari as their core religion alongside The Forest's Will.
  
  Oddly enough being born in one Sector doesn’t limit you to the Sector’s sub-god and many residents find themselves making the journey into another sector. Qin-Users in the Facility often will be housed based on their sub god’s blessing, some being placed under one that differs from their birthing place.
  
  
  Treatment Of Shikari and Foreigners
  
  Outsiders are advised to never go past the trading borders as their likelihood of returning is never guaranteed. Hushara is fairly closed off from the world in its own timeless state, relying heavily on their neighbor, Dukreus to serve as their bridge to the outside world. There is no real hostility towards Shikari and Foreigners but they have made it very clear that if they had to choose between a tourist and the Forest they are going to pick the godlike creature that determines whether or not they survive.
  
  
  Although they prefer to keep the details between themselves and Dukreus, it is well known that Hushara houses many monsters where even the cutest little bunny will feast on the entrails of whoever makes the mistake of trying to feed it a carrot. Hushara has only recently opened up to trade with the other countries and thanks to the input of Dukreus their communication is starting to grow beyond the letter from a Spectral.

  Short summery

  
  Marvuelo is a country that is quite frankly, old as dirt. It’s history spans several hundreds of years being even older than Dukreus. The country prides itself in the nationalism forged through centuries of prosperity. Even when the dark ages hit and destabilized most of the word they maintained their composure and salvaged history itself even if it was backed into a corner thanks to a few countries who have now been stamped out. Marvuelo takes pride in work and play but even more so in balance between the two. So long as you’re willing to work you’ll live a happy life.
  
  Adaptablilty is highly valued as the kingdom changes depending on which ruler has the most power at the moment, and in true Marvuelan fashion this is decided through a series of challenges and games. But when the down times over get ready to work hard as research and qin are an everyday part of this country as it’s the second in place for leading technological advancements. After all they need to advance if they want to reclaim lost lands...
  
  
  Government
  The kingdom of Marvuelo is divided into two parts. The Royal Monachal House Of Salazar, and the Three Nobel Houses. Under the Royal Monarch King Zeru Salazar at the same level as the Nobel Houses is the Espada, Alma. The Espada is the king’s second in command who is Gateway to the king. No one aside from the Heads of the Nobel Houses get to him outside of through her.
  
  Of the three Nobel Houses there are; The Guerrero, Champions of Valor; The Viteri, The Guardians Of Time; The Castillo, The Seekers of Knowledge. Each of these have their Knights, either bodyguard, advisor, or both. The kingdom has maintained this system since the beginning of Marvuelan History.
  
  However the way the government interacts is quite different. While the king holds the last say in foreign interactions even as the Nobel houses put their weight in, the domestic political field is a whole other set up. Matters at home have the final say based off who’s currently Leading the Nobel Houses. While in practice each house gets equal respect and power in the eyes of the citizens, decision making gives unequal weight to whoever currently holds head seat.
  
  The way the three Nobel houses decide this is through Public Tournaments. Four brackets each, One a Game of Luck, one a Test Of Skill, one a Trial Of Knowledge, and the final an Act of Bravery. Each season the brackets are filled by The King/Queen and the Espada and the event takes place by the shoreline in a coastal town.
  
  
  Facility: Crystal Elysion
  The Facility of the Crystal Elysion is both an underwater dream and underwater nightmare. The Facility itself is beautiful and designed to be a luxurious location. Handcrafted reinforced stained glass windows cover the Facility letting the students always be aware of the looming danger that’s just right around something beautiful. In general it’s everyone’s dream to come here once in their lives, and for citizens it’s always possible, so long as you’re willing to put in the effort.
  
  Age Limitations:
  No ages. It’s up to the individuals skill.
  (Averages 14-18)
  
  In general a user must be able to grasp basic language and perform the tasks associated with the entree test. If a user is capable of the associated test and continues onto the Facility a user is capable of leaving at any point as well as returning at any point to continue the evaluation when more prepared. There is also no maximum age for the Facility.
  
  Aims:
  The aims of the Crystal Elysion is to grow as an individual and expand your knowledge and experience with both monsters and your own powers.
  
  The Facility itself functions like a luxury resort mixed with a summer camp. While the amenities and the area are nice and beautiful there’s always that background schedule to adhere to. In general the Facility runs on a sixty-forty schedule. Sixty percent is spent in your own plans, while forty percent of the day is structure classes and exercises and the occution mission to kill off some low level monsters.
  
  How fast you move is entirely dependent on your own will. It’s not uncommon to see adults still working on second gate while a group of young teens sail past opening gate after gate in comparison. The only thing that determines anything in this facility is strength of will.
  
  Housing:
  As mentioned the accommodations of The Crystal Elysion are top notch. While it is an underwater city unlike many others it’s well known how to get to since the entire country knows it well. The layout itself is made like a five star hotel with the place being sorted into floor levels. Each area is contained with magnetic locks elevators making it impossible for someone to get to a level higher than approved for as their key would not have the access granted for it. With each new level you unlock new areas of the Facility. For the ones that come to the Facility as staff and lack qin they’re cards have specific Code S chips that let them have free access to any non-lethal areas. For those who have unlocked qin certain leisure areas are quartered off as well as their appropriate levels to encourage growth and will be unlocked upon reaching legal age and participating in “vacation jobs”.
  
  Training:
  Training at the Crystal consists of Knowledge and Experience, broken into Courses. In general you’ll have an equal ratio per course load. Much like higher academia Marvuelo let’s it’s people know upfront what to expect from each course. The training is highly dependent on level but includes but is not limited to ; Fencing, Caespa (Marvuelan style Swordplay), Physical conditioning, and Qin stretching, Mock Battles, Real Battles, and Vigorous Mental Challenges.
  
  After the Crystal Elysion:
  In general anyone who’s come to the Crystal Elysion is allowed to return at any point, granted that they help the facility in some manner. Since the ages in which people frequent here are so vast it’s not uncommon to see younger people aiding the older ones in the Crystal’s workload while the older ones help the younger in more traditional coursework. Still it’s common to find people taking a “vacation job” as some might say, working a short period of time per day in upkeep of the Facility in exchange for luxury style accommodations. For individuals without qin it’s common that they undertake these vacation jobs to have full access to the Facility.
  
  
  Cities
  
  
  • Rosaoro
  • Ircueva
  • Morcielo
  • Platagua

  • 
    The City and It’s Officals:
    Rosaoro is the capital city deep under the waters of Marvuelo. While it is the capital it’s in no way well known, in fact the amount of people who known of its location and how to get there is extremely low. Outside those who live there it’s just as easily just a story, even some residents of Marvuelo consider it a fantasy until they meet people from the city themselves.
    
    It’s the home to the current reigning King Zeru Salazar, along with his chief of command Lady Alma Salazar.
    
    The People of the City:
    The population of Rosaoro generally skews to Sila at a hefty 50%. Followed by a 40% Human and 10% Elven. At least of observable metrics. The people of Rosaoro are generally close, it’s a city that’s very hard to find without the help of another so it leads to it being quite a bit more isolated than the rest of the country as even the other underwater cities are more accessible. The inclusion of the water in areas also means that for some of the general populace the terrain itself is what stops them from getting into more classified information. It’s also a far more community focused placed as it’s rather common to see people drop what they’re doing to help another, especially modeled in the second in command, Alma. In general the city is always covered with the twinkling of lights, making it feel like night or winter in every season and every day as the light is not the same as the much brighter sun above. In some areas the lights themselves are replaced with torches that get replaced every so often, but these areas are quite limited as transporting wood down dryly is a perfected art and is quite limited. It’s known as the City of Metal and Glass as a result.
    
    Land description:
    Rosaoro is a land under the water. The city is not the only underwater city but being the capital it is by far the largest. It’s protected by the interlocking glass bubbles, fortified with qin to endure the pressure, that surround the city. While half the city operates as any other under this glass there are several points in which you can reach the outer city limits or the castle which are entirely flooded with water making it so that only gilled Sila or people who have receive special help from the king can dive in and not drown. It’s rather hard to forget that you’re under miles and miles of potential death when in most areas you can see the through glass to find lots of fish, aquatic monsters, and Sila passing by.
    
    Tourist Attractions:
    In general while the area is beautiful it’s rather tourist unfriendly considering it’s a hidden city. Aside from the residents themselves helping you in the chance of finding it in on your own is zero as the length of water that separates the surface from the human and gillless entrance is pressurized enough to crush most like an ant.
    
    Major Historical Events:
    While not technically in the city limits the biggest historical event in Rosaoro was its founding by the Battle of Bastian, a six year open war between the monsters and Marvuelians that led to the sinking of the castle. Eventually the city was built around the outerlimits in an attempt to erase the failure from the history books. Outside of the city residents it’s known as the day the fish people told the monsters to fuck off by claiming the deep waters.
    
  • 
    The City and It’s Officials:
    Ircueva is the underground cities. In reality as it is a nomadic place there is no one ‘Ircueva’ in one way you could say the entirety of the caves and underground of Marvuelo is Ircueva.
    
    It’s here in this nomadic group of people that you can find the Noble house of the Guerrero, as well as it’s leader Lady Laia and Sir Silvius, her closest advisor. While the two of them are away from the base and/or Nomadic main quarters they have a established chain of command with her ‘posse’ or with the ex-head of the Guerrero.
    
    The people of the City:
    The population of Ircueva generally skews to Sila at 40%. Followed by a 30% Human and 30% Elven. At least of observable metrics. Ircueva is one of the cities that has a very limited age range this is in part because of the nomadic atmosphere, and partially due to the amount of the year they spend in tunnels. Generally the children and elders are kept in the valley town settlement, the safest location as well as the non-nomadic area, whereas the young adults and adults move with the city. Because Ircueva is the backbone to trade the city needs to be moving high quantities of trade through the country, the safest way to do this is in a large easily defendable group, while they have an amazing strike force they’re the ones head against monsters from all over the country again and again. Ircuevans are fighters by blood. It’s rare they’re against this, and in the event they are they typically move out of the city or stay at the home base in the valley all their lives.
    
    Land description:
    Ircueva is a city in two major parts. The main settlement, Valley Colony, and the secondary settlement, Nomadic Colony. Each is important to the city. For the most part the vulnerabile stay in Valley Colony which is heavily guarded by both terrain and the heavy gates they have built around the colony. The inside of which hold a rather average city, though it’s a bit on the large side since it needs plenty of area to store large shipments. The Valley itself has rather solid construction with plenty of Towers to watch for any approaching forces. Transportation inside the city itself is mainly through walking or horse drawn carriages as the cannot risk building the gate around the trains since it would leave the city unsecured. For those of the Valley who need to use the train their stop is actually past the gates and in the Meadow of Verdflor. Which while not far and generally clear of monsters is not the secured haven of the Valley.
    
    For the Nomadic Colony there are a few key points where constructed cities are. While these aren’t meant to be stayed in long they are rest points for the city that have been protected for the most part from monsters as well as are easier to guard than a moving Caravan. These cities are underground in the cave tunnels between cities, once they’re out of the tunnels it’s general practice that they stay in nearby cities as they transport goods to and from
    
    Tourist Attractions:
    The city of Ircueva lacks any real attractions. While people may come for the atmosphere and be escorted with the city for some riskier travels it’s not anything but the potential protection of a whole city that brings most along to the area.
    
    Major Historical Events:
    Historically the city of Ircueva was actually a permanent city in the underground however that changed when the monster appeared. The monsters were quick to overtake the typical travel and trade of Marvuelo, however being that Ircueva was the town they sent people to in order to toughen them up for the armies, specifically by training with the Guerrero, they were more than ready for any monsters that came their way. Their spirit, strength, and need made them pack up and become the strength for the nation.
    
    Festivals:
    Festival of Rebirth:
    An annual spring festival where all residents of the nomadic colony return for a solid three weeks at the beginning of the spring. It allows for family that have been separated for a while to get back together. It also allows for a transition for those who wish to spend the year in the Nomadic colony or the Valley Colony to switch their belonging over and get settled.
    
  • 
    The City and it’s Officials:
    Morcielo is a city in the mountaintops. It towers above and sprawls across the range spanning several peaks. In some areas the only way to reach the rest of the city is through the trains that run through the city, sometimes over your heads. The highest point is the Library that can be seen from every point in the city.
    
    In this town you can find the Noble house of the Viteri, their Leader Lady Luna Viteri, Sir Morgan, and Madam Amets.
    
    The people of the city:
    The population of Morcielo generally skews to Sila and Humas at 25% each. Followed by a 20% Elven, 20% Amyr, and 10% Giants. At least of observable metrics. The city of Morcielo is filled with people who do a lot of reflecting. Their festivals, their lives, their futures all are rooted in the Grand Library, a looming presence and a reminder that there are so many forces greater than themselves. Whether they reject that looming presence is up to the individual but the Library is the crown jewel of not only Morcielo who protects it but all of Marvuelo. Some may even consider it more important than the city and citizens themselves.
    
    Land description:
    Morcielo is a city in parts, four to be exact, it spans the peaks of the mountain range with certain sectors being differently lauded out than others. The Librarium Sector is the very peak of the city seated above the Gilded Sector. To the north lies the Phantom Sector, while to the eastern side of the Gilded sector lies the Slope sector. Aside from the Librarium Sector and the Gilded Sector it’s near impossible to get from one sector to the next on foot as the other two sectors are on different mountain peaks. The only way to reach the Phantom and Slope Sector is to take the older Wooden bridges across, or the trains. In reality you could also fly if you happened to have that ability but it’d be a solid thirty minute flight, most simply take the trains.
    
    The Librarium sector is by far the oldest, though through most of its history the only thing that was up was the Grand Library. Despite its age the Grand Library at its very peak is wonderfully made and build to last centuries. This is the sector with the most wilderness as patch of forest spring up around the Librarium sector as well as down the path to the Gilded sector. It’s become a sort of kids area as quite a few treehouses and tiny “stores” are up here; in general they’re all newer and most are directly the fault of Lady Luna. Besides the Library the only real buildings in this sector are the two main orphanages.
    
    The Guilded Sector is the main hub. It’s lined with shops and the hustle and bustle of people living out their lives. While there are residential spots in between its more the types of single person livings that appear in the Guilded sector, in fact the only residential spot worth mentioning is the Vilteri Manor. A well kept mansion of a home which houses not only the Vilteri Family but their staff as well is an associated wing. The Manor is not impossible to visit but in general unless you are summoned there don’t expect to be allowed in long.
    
    The Phantom Sector is a place that while not a residential or shopping district is still heavily traversed to. This is where people of the city come to mourn and wait upon the spirits of their family. The sector itself is one of the smallest and lined with flowers that glow white in the moonlight this is also the best spot to see the skies burst into a reddish purple when the moon is new.
    
    The Slope district is by far the most calm. This holds a huge 90% of the residential houses. It’s also where a great deal of the festivals take place in town. There’s a river that cuts through the district and at its peak there’s a large cliff where the Festival of Starlight takes place.
    
    Tourist Attractions:
    The Grand Library is the biggest draw into the city but there’s also the bright lights and beautiful Moon Flowers of the Phantom Sector that people come to visit.
    
    Major Historical Events:
    The Battle Of Brigantine: A battle over the Control Over the Mountains of Morcielo. A war was fought over the mountains as Marvuelo was losing power and ground. They put their all into the defense as they would not loose this Library. They won and crushed their enemy but suffered enough that they couldn’t reclaim the land before Dukreus started to move in, which they were already allied to.
    
    Festivals:
    The Festival of Starlight: A festival held at the very beginning of the year in the slope sector’s peak where they remember the beginnings of the dark ages and mourn the tragedy each writing something they would leave behind in the past year, whether that be a grudge or bad habit or a regret. After which the fold it up into a paper airplane and send it soaring off towards the sea. While this is a given in the eve of a new year some residents do this practice multiple times a year.
    
    Festival of Song: A day where each resident meets up in Slope Square and people take turns performing songs that they wrote throughout the week for their families or significant other.
    
    Festival of Time: A yearly festival where every resident of Morcielo takes a book out from the Grand Library and finds one specific event in history to put up a display at the Phantom Sector in order to teach others about it. Generally this is a day where a lot of food and games can be enjoyed as most displays have some aspect of game or contest to them.

    The City and it’s Officials:
    
    The People of the City:
    The population of Platagua generally skews to Humans at around 70%. Followed by a 15% Sila, 10% Amyr and 5% Elven. At least of observable metrics. Platagua is a rather oddly formal culture in comparison to some other coastal cities. In fact much of the atmosphere of the city is heavily entrenched in work and work ethic. While a rich country in discovery and advances many plataguans tend to avoid the leisure aspects of tech and focus heavily into engineering tech as there are plenty of things to be discovered. Though the city didn’t always hold this mentality and in previous years this caused discord and discontent in the population.
    
    Land description:
    Platagua is a city that’s built on the southern end of the coastline of Marvuelo. The more important governing building are build into the rocky craigs while the residences are built closer to the sand dunes. While large amounts of the coastline are free from being part of the city it is under the general area of Platagua leaving the upkeep of the area within its jurisdiction.
    
    Tourist Attractions:
    Platagua’s biggest feature beyond the natural beaches is Tower of Sol, the spiral cog tower at the northern end of the city. Housed within this tower is the main leasure district of the city and while it’s one that Plataugans enjoy once or twice a week people come from all over the country to experience it.
    
    Major Historical Events:
    Plataguan resistance: The last known civil dispute that ended up changing the atmosphere of the country. Large portions of the town are dedicated to the builders, as well as researchers of the city as Platagua is the major architect of new technologies and goods. During the period of the Plataguain resistance, fifty years after the end of the dark ages, the city had a scant few willing to be involved with research, technology, and technological upkeep. This led to a period of overworking the minority leading to a revolt. After all was said and done and the damage fixed there was the creation of the Tower of Sol, one of the most relaxing places in Marvuelo.
    
    Festivals:
    Children’s day:
    Children’s day is a day of perspectives. This is the one day a year that children are allowed, which the appropriate safety measures, to experiment with qin and tech. They are given the go ahead to plan up new tests and start a proposal for proper research as well as follow up on any research of their previous years that got approved.
    
    Fiesta de flan:
    A festival meant to show creativity, skill and courage. Each family or group of friends in the city work together to cook up a dessert in the style of a monster in order to win a competition. In the city plaza all the desserts are shown off and judged. All the kids of the city get first dibs and can choose which they wish to eat.
    
  
  
  
  Religions
  
  Unlike some of the other countries of the world Marvuelo holds little stock into Relgious beliefs. It’s not to say they don’t believe but rather they hold more weight in proof. Personal viewpoints may vary across the land but so long as you hold onto your national ties you’re golden. In a way they can be called the Agnostics of the world.
  
  
  Treatment Of Shikari and Foreigners
  In general Marvuelans treat Shikari as citizens. Because they do service to the country they are awarded easy access to public location. However unlike citizens they are not allowed into semi-public forums or governmental buildings without express permissions and paperwork. Breaking in is generally not an option for high profile locations, such as the Elysion or Rosaoro, as they are littered with Shikari from Marvuelo. Still they are relatively cleared from obstructions that would affect tourists, the help of foreign dignitaries, or even allied diplomats.
• Short summery
  Note: Not a playable country of origin
  
  Nevma was established 400 years ago and is the nation that played a large role in the expansion of Aurotology. Made up of those who fled their homelands during the worst parts of the Dark Ages, Nevma is a country of neutrality that picks no sides, plays no role in war with any country, and has formed an alliance with all nations in the world. It is publicly known that Nevma is one of the most established in the study of Aura, as it played a large role in the expansion and exploration of the nature of Qin and ultimately were major players in the creation of machinery that led to the creation of Artificial Users.
  
  In fact, Nevma's greatest achievement may have just been the ability to create Artificial Users.
  
  
  Shikari Agency
  The Shikari Agency was founded after Artificial Users became a reality. The organization was created as a non-governmental force, that liberated Aura Users from who had achieved the sixth gate, freedom from the control of governmental bodies that would abuse or use their powers for their own personal gains.
  
  The Shikari Agency is ultimately a non-governmental entity, that takes funding from around the world by taxes. It is an organization that awards Aura Users the title of Shikari, and distributes and organizes the various missions for Aura Users to take.
  
  This agency is led by Akhil Cour.
  
  
  Invictus Academy​
  
  Invictus Academy is a branch of the Shikari Agency that was created 200+ years ago. It trains and assesses individuals who have unlocked the Sixth Gate and awards the title Shikari; the elite Aura Users of the world, after they have completed their training.
  
  Invictus Academy is located East of Nevma, a couple hundred miles away. It is a small city island built by Nevma’s Council and was created for the purpose of training individuals to fight and hunt the more high risk level monstrosities that exist, threaten, and prowl the world.
  
  All attendees of Invictus are given the trainee title Slayer
