Setting
Time/Epoch: 485 years A.GW, medieval with a touch of technology.
Economy: 100 copper coins -> 1 silver coin. 10 silver coins -> 1 gold coin. A noble token -> a huge sum of money, depending on which house it's marked with.
PvP: Player can NOT kill an other player, the player may only die if it decides to or if the moderator demand him to.
Magic: Magic in Sertténa is a bit more unique than other role plays. It is an incarnation of knowledge and will. By having knowledge about how a element works or is created, you have cleared the first step in becoming a wizard. Does your race have magic capabilities? If so proceed. Not every person have magic within them but most of the races who can control magic have it, more or less.
After being capable of controlling magic and have knowledge about the element there's only one step left, to make it happen. Magic is produced with pure will, like moving your arm, but controlling magic needs a more powerful and precise will. That means that most magic don't need to said or performed in a specific why to work, the best of wizards can create huge magic without lifting a finger or speaking. But lesser wizards needs help to express their will. If they want to shoot a bolt of fire they will perhaps stretch their arm out to imagine they shoot it out from it, or say some words to help like “Fire”. If a mage ever studied at Suroutalan they probably learned the old Sertténian language. This language is understood by the most primal of elements and will help your primal part of the body understand what you want. Magic will drain your energy like any physic activity, how much depends on how powerful your spell was. This makes magic good training for the body as well as the mind.
