History
Years ago, the wizards lived in a beautiful city named Atlantis, but the city was destroyed and sunk to the bottom of the sea by a fierce and large demon clan. The wizards were forced to flee and the survivors lived terrible lives in poverty while others were forced into servitude for the demons. This particular demon clan lived in their own separate world and were rogues who left the demons living in their original world of Hell.
One wizard named Fai, growing up with the survivors, was a prophet of the wizard god Oz. He was told the tale of Atlantis and the horrible fate his people were subjected to. The young Fai grew up to become a powerful wizard sorcerer and created an army, starting war with the demon clan. After years of battle, Fai conquered the rogue demon's world, and became known as Fai the Conqueror. The demons were either killed or sent to Hell as prisoners. As thanks for capturing the rogues, Fai formed a treaty with the King of Hell and was given the rogue's world for the wizards to live in. From that day on, the wizards have had a shaky but peaceful relationship with demons. All of the wizards moved into their new home and became isolated from the rest of society, only communicating through ambassadors.
The rogue's world was renamed Wiz and Fai the Conqueror rebuilt society with the wizards' naming him as King. Wizards slowly regained their power and advanced their society back to what it was on Atlantis and more. With magic capable of almost anything, they soon became the most powerful beings.
But, like most beings, their power corrupted them. Centuries after Fai the Conqueror's rule, the leaders of Wiz rule an oppressed society of wizards. Society has degraded and many families live in poverty once more. Those who are not full blooded wizards or those who are not powerful (such as wizards born without magic or just plain weak) or without money or those with criminal history (or having a relationship to one) or any who have opinions too radically different than the norm are treated as second class citizens. Discrimination and prejudice of "Dark Wizards", any wizard practicing dark magic, is rampant. A large barrier surrounding Wiz prevents anyone without without wizard ancestry in their blood from entering, so outside information does not reach the public and society is kept ignorant. Most choose to stay within the safety of Wiz so not many people travel or leave. Use of magic is monitored by the Wizard Council that is just to be used to make sure magic is not misused but, secretly, anyone who appears to be growing too powerful usually becomes framed for some sort of crime and placed in prison or have magic blocks placed. They live by a Code of Law that gives a lot of power to the royal family, who abuses their power, but since the wizard public know no other way of life many do not realize it.

The World
The Wizard Council is chosen by a charmed, magic cauldron left by Fai the Conqueror after receiving instructions to create it by Wiz and consists of members whose authority is almost equal to the royal family. The people submit names of people they want on the council by throwing a slip of paper into the cauldron and on the day of choosing, the magic cauldron is lit and used to brew a potion, usually by the King or Queen. After the potion is complete, the cauldron is emptied and the names left in the cauldron are the wizards considered worthy to join the council. The leaders of the council usually drink the potion as part of their oath, but the royal family began to lace the potion with poisons that would subtly compel the leaders to obey them.
There are many different types of soldiers in Wiz: Protectors, Executioners, Knights, Assassins, & Peacekeepers. Many wizards are volunteering in case of war. However, those who personally serve the royal family are secretly given an obedience potion similar to the one that the wizard council leaders unknowingly drank.
Protectors: the main soldiers of Val and under the command. Many also serve as bodyguards for the Royal Family, Wizard Council members, and other upper class people.
Executioners: they legally execute criminals on death row and also do the dirty, secretive jobs such as spying and torture.
Assassins: they are similar to executioners except they focus more on assassinating their targets.
Knights: They are powerful wizards who utilize swords. Knights only see action during war and during times of peace, they patrol cities and keep the peace with people.
Peacekeepers: They keep the peace in Wiz and usually accompany Knights during their patrols but ultimately have more authority over citizens.
The royal family lives in the capital of Wiz while members of the Wizard Council and protectors, knights, etc. are spread throughout different cities and communities. The Wizard Council meets up with each other a minimum of twice a year, once just among themselves and once with the royal family.
In order to monitor magic, the Wizard's Council long ago categorized spells. Magic that is easily tracked and has a proper counter spell is legal. The dark magic that is illegal are spells that the council has difficulty monitoring or spells with no cure or spells that are extremely hazardous to the safety of citizens of Val. Of course, this has long been forgotten with time and wizard's have been brainwashed to think there is "good" and "evil" magic and started calling certain spells either light or dark. Any wizard who sees someone doing "dark" spells might label them an evil, dark wizard who wants to side with the evil demons. Dark magic is not illegal, and most is barely borderline legal to use, but it is frowned upon in society to be labelled as a dark wizard.
Each family of wizards have a set of three letters somewhere in their name and the names have a similar theme such as one family having ERI and being named Erin, Erik, Eridan, etc. When two wizards get married, it is not a union between two families, but one wizard leaving behind their family and joining another family. Both wizards who are getting married have their names changed. The first name is kept in order to show honor to and keep track of the wizard's birth family but it becomes something like a middle name for the wizard leaving the family. A second name is given to both wizards that matches their spouse's family's naming scheme and for the wizard joining the new family, this given name becomes their official first name. The last name of the wizard leaving their family changes their name to their new family. This is only for documentation purposes and formal occasions, and the wizards still interact with their birth families and can be called by their original names.
For example: Pretend Kyrie and Valerio are getting married. Kyrie's family naming scheme is kyr and Valerio's is val. If Valkyrie join's the Mancini family her name can be changed to something like "Valerie Kyrie Mancini" and Valerio to "Valerio Kyros Mancini". But if Valerio join's Kyrie's family then their names could be something like "Kyrie Valerie Vladimir" and "Kyros Valerio Vladimir".
Wizards mature and develop slower due to their magic. Their magic helps prevent their body from deteriorating, which results in wizards appearing to look physically youthful despite their age. Mentally, wizards do not fully develop their brain until a few decades because their magic can be prone to fluctuating levels in their early life before it stabilizes to that of an adult. In comparison to humans, the wizard aging system would be:
Age 0-12 is liber, what humans would call childhood, except wizards are prone to displaying accidental magic when their emotions become too uncontrolled. Children do not learn magic yet and only learn theory, because their magic is still developing and can become damaged if used too often.
Age 13-19 is discipule, what humans would call adolescence, when wizards start to learn magic because their magic has become stabilized enough and they will wield better control, even if they have wild emotions.
Age 20-30 is adulscentia, what humans would consider young adulthood, but wizards still have the developed brain of that of a human teenager. They are still prone to thinking more with their emotions, but show more control of their magic. This is also the period of time for wizards to experience awakenings, where they become aware of latent magical talents passed down in their family.
Age 31-99 is adultus, what humans would call adulthood, and their brain and magic has finally matured. Wizards will reach their maximum potential of growth, at which point their body will begin to sustaining their physical body in order to ensure survival. Wizards need a physically fit body in order to wield their magic at their best ability, so their body subconsciously keeps them in their prime.
Age 100-130 is imperiosus, when wizards are at their strongest magically. Physically, they should be the same or stronger. Mentally, they should be wiser with experience. Magically, they should have excellent control over whatever magic they have.
Age 131-180 is placidus, what humans would call middle age, when a wizard's magic starts to settle down. They physically should still be healthy but magically and mentally begin to weaken. They slowly begin to lose their abilities and deteriorate, and most wizards on average live up to around age 150.
Age 181 and onward is senex, what humans would call elderly, where wizards rarely survive long enough to reach. By this age their magic is nearly gone, and they are physically, mentally, and magically weak.
The Code of Law
-All shall obey this code of law, those who shall disobey, will be branded as criminal and/or traitor.
-All criminals will be at the mercy of the Wizard Council, punishment enforced by the Protectors, and their soul judged by the almighty Oz.
-Traitors of Wiz will be eliminated.
-The royal family, of bloodline of Fai the Conqueror, shall rule alongside the Wizard Council.
-All shall obey the prophecies by the almighty Oz that are spoken through the King and/or Queen.
-Any wizard may come forth and submit a name for the Wizard Council, submit the name into the Cauldron, and those judged worthy shall be named to take their place on the Wizard Council.
-The royal family will rule until their bloodline dies.
-Members of the Wizard Council shall rule for seven years until their name must be resubmitted into the Cauldron.

THE ACTUAL PLOT THO????
Not all wizards are clueless, however, and a secret rebellion is forming.
Some are beginning to notice certain members of the Wizard Council acting strangely and becoming more loyal to the "kind" royal family instead.
The prophecies of Oz are less frequent and more dangerous.
Poverty, starvation, illness, and death is increasing but ignored by the sheltered wealthy and powerful.
With the treaty with the demons broken and the threat of war looming, unrest is growing among the wizards.
The traitor Valente has yet to be found.
Rumors that the dark wizards are going to side with the demons are whispered from ear to ear.
Magic itself is beginning is to act strange.
You don't know who to trust.
