[div class=contain] SOVEREIGNTY* an old high/medieval fantasy roleplay i had on another site. looking back on it again made me really want to try and reboot. it was originally a sandbox style roleplay, but as of right now i'm not too sure on how to set it up on the site so i'm open to suggestions for locations, character groups/exilian races, magic, organizations, and other ideas.




OVERVIEW* 　Years ago the land of Estal was divided. At first, it had been a plight to see who would be the dominant race. However, after humans finally stood out and won their rights as the rulers of the land they fought amongst themselves. The continent of Estal was ruined in a state of ruin, and the once pristine land was gone, and most of the many races who lived in her lands disappeared.

It was not until one man with extraordinary powers conquered all. With this the land was unified and peace was restored, with this man as their king. However, that was a tale 30 years ago. The king is now old, and he can't rule the whole continent like he had used to.

[div class=contain] CHARACTERINFO* everything you need to know about creating a character. will go through in more depth with social classes, races, etc.



[div class=box1] SOCIALHIERARCHY* THE ROYAL FAMILY　　Even with no queen or mistresses the Royal Family cannot be considered small with many prince and princesses with the oldest in their early 30s and the youngest 12. The king has a hobby of taking in eccentric, interesting, and talented kids. he has taken the kids into the royal palace in hopes of nurturing their special abilities for the sovereignty.

HOUSE OF LORDS　 The house of lords has been established by the king decades ago as he already predicted the decline in his health as he aged. Dividing the land, he had given his most trusted appointees, friends, and others a piece of it to help him govern creating the House of Lords.

The Lords were then given a silver medallion, with it would signify their right to govern their own province. However, there is always a catch when it comes to power. It's always easy to gain it, but it's always hard to keep it. It was only stated the owner of the medallion would be able to control the land. It didn't matter whether or not the medallion was given or forcefully taken if you had one it was proof you had enough strength to rule. Limited to 22 characters.

NOBILITY　 Within the land the titles of nobility are granted by the king through contributions a person/family has made. The ranks within nobility are separated between greater nobility and lesser nobility.

Greater nobility consists of dukes, marquesses, and earls. For the most part, all greater nobility have hereditary titles and are classified as "old money" and have long histories. These families have more prestige and mostly hold important positions in helping the king govern the central region such as the prime minister as well as other military and government officials.

The lesser nobility consists of viscounts, barons, and knights. A majority of viscounts tend to second sons and daughters of greater nobility but did not manage to inherit the families title while barons and knights mostly are granted to families who have made recent contributions with little to no history and are mostly new families who have just joined the aristocracy, with most of them being honorary titles holding little to no power in governing the central region.

CIVILIANS　 The working class what more can i say.

EXILIANS Hundreds of years ago, humans and monsters weren't the only ones living in the continent. In the war to figure out who was the dominant race the humans won, leaving many of the other races to decline, and gradually go live in either assigned territories or hiding. [/div] [div class=box2] ORGANIZATIONS* THE ROYAL MILITIA　　The army which serves the kingdom.

The first regiment is responsible for guarding and maintaining the border between the regions and provinces. They also do menial tasks such as patrolling the streets and are the first to be dispatched when trouble strikes. They are the largest regiment among the three.

The second is responsible for guarding the king and the palace. They have no other duties but to be bodyguards of the king as well as the prince and princesses who stay within the royal palace.

The third regiment particularly goes around the continent performing reconnaissance, and secret missions. All member's identity in this regiment is unknown as they mostly go undercover to gather information.

SICRY ACADEMY　　The most prestigious school in the continent. It was founded by the king's close friend Cecilia Sicry right after the unification of the continent.

During this period most of the population, with the exception of the wealthy, never made it past the primary stages of education. Wanting to give more opportunity to the younger generation she founded the school mainly to help those who have gifts but couldn't afford higher education and nurture them into outstanding individuals.

At this day and age, the academy is still up and running. It has gained a reputation of being the best school within the continent with many of its alumni racking various achievements in fields of magic, military, science, etc.

The school now holds yearly entrance exams and accepts kids of the ages 13 through 20. After 4 years the students are expected to graduate and make a name for themselves.

ADVENTURERS GUILD　　While many large incidents in Estal are solved by the lords, they cannot solve every small problem they face. Thus, the adventurer's guild was established.

With the other's not having enough time to solve all the problems around Estal, the people could send their problems to the association to be put up on the bulletin board of all adventurer buildings around the land and have an adventurer of an appropriate level take them for a reward. Adventurers are ranked F-S, ranked lowest to highest.

THE GODDESS RELIGION　　The main religion of the continent of Estal. The whole religion revolves around the goddess as the world's creator, and everything that happens is decided by the goddess' will.

Although there are many depictions of the goddess the most commonly accepted goddess is from the sybil church as a poised woman in a white dress who is gracious to the good and righteous. While she gives no mercy and punishes evil.

THE EXILIAN COALITION　Unknown to the public, a new force is growing within Estal. After years of being forgotten the Exilians have begun to act. At first, since the exilians are made up several races, they couldn't get along and posed no threat to humans. However, due to a series of events some races have come to a truce in order to take back their original land from the humans. [/div]

[div class=contain] MAGICINDEX* you know...it's magicccc.



[div class=box1] FUNDAMENTALCONCEPTS* BASICS　Magic is said to be a gift from the goddess. In this world, 95% of the people can use magic and is often used to help with their everyday life. In this world, the concept of magic is based upon mana.

MANA　Mana is the source of energy which is needed to utilize magic. It is said that each individual has some sort of mana container within their bodies which stores mana. The amount of mana these containers can store within an individual is determined by birth, ranging from lowest to highest rank F,E,D,C,B,A,S.

The average population having low mana ranks they can only utilize simple, mediocre, magic. As some spells require an amount of mana which is larger than a normal person's mana container can store. There are possible ways to increase the amount of mana you have within your body and move ranks, but many tend to stay within the rank determined since birth, or only manage to increase their mana pool by one or two ranks.

THE TRIALS　While your mana pool is mostly determined by birth, the types of magic one can use is endless as long as one puts effort. As the goddess had always liked the hard working, she had set prerequisites on magic.

Magic can be gained after certain requirements are met. While some magic can be obtained through just by studying books, and others through techniques passed down by previous generations, some can be gained by completing trials set by the goddess. There have even been cases of some who have been blessed by the goddess and are given unique skills which can only be acquired to those of the same bloodline. [/div] [div class=box2] MAGICTYPES* ELEMENTAL　Elemental magic users' command forces of nature. Some can bend water to their will, some are able to cause mold soil, and others can conjure fire or create an electric current.

Elemental magic is the most spread out magic as it is the most accessible with most of its elementary stages can be acquired by simple tasks. However, elemental magic is also known to be a mana drainer once it reaches higher levels.

SUMMONING　Summoning can be learned either after forming a close bond between a beast, spirit, or object. Depending on what it is you are forming a bond could be easy or difficult. After forming a bond they can appear anytime you call them. While summoning inanimate objects do not cost much mana, living beings such as beasts and spirits would consistently drain your own mana pool over time.

PHYSICAL　Magic dealing with enhancing one's body, can mostly be gained through strenuous physical activity.

MENTAL　Magic of the mind would be best described as the magic of the will. This magic cannot be learned no matter how many books or scrolls one reads, and are generally learned through difficult trials that test one's will.

BLESSINGS　It is said that the goddess has blessed certain people as well as their bloodlines with power during ancient times. These types of magic are mostly unique to the user and their family. most blessings come in the form of uniques constitutions such as having higher physical strength than normal or being proficient in a certain type of magic.

TABBOO　Magic considered being unacceptable to learn under the law often based on its questionable means of acquisition and the potential harm it could bring to the kingdom. If you are found to use such types of magic it is likely for you to be executed.
