The date was June 30th, 30XX. That was the day the people of Andria would remember forever. A new generation of magicians would be born, one that far surpassed any group anyone had seen before. Of course, every blessing comes with it's curse. You could say that the birth of this power was the universe's way to prepare Andria for the terrible threat that loomed overhead. What role will you play? Will you fight against the darkness, or become part of it? Only time will tell.
World History
Andria was a country born from dust. One of few countries scattered throughout the world, this particular area of was once rampant with war, disease, famine, and death. Although many tried to tame the wild spirit of the land, all of them ended up failing to do so. In fact, none of them lasted more than a week before they gave up hope or were otherwise defeated. That is, until three warlords banded together. They were the first three magicians to ever live. The three, who had been friends since birth, went on an intense journey for a sacred treasure. It was rumored that the gods had left essences of their power somewhere in the land that would become Andria in the future. After many years of searching for this treasure, the three men found it in the form of a red goblet, a blue goblet, and a yellow goblet. Each of these goblets, when drank from, gave the men the powers of magic. Using this newfound power, the Yellow Magician's superior intellect, the Blue Magician's incredible drive, and the Red Magician's amazing recruiting skills, they swiftly united all people across the lands to form the powerful land of Andria, the kingdom where this adventure takes place.
The current rulers are members of the Emprilian family. This family was born hundreds of years after the initial formation of Andria. The descendants passed on the power of magic from the original users which is how magic users become more prolific. The Emprilian family was born through the marriage of Susan Suyuki, a Yellow Magician who was a direct descendant of the original user, and Agrin Oskra, a descendant of both the Blue and Red Magicians. They married and changed their last name to usher in a new era of ruler with no nominal relation to the original magicians. A side effect of this was a line of royals who were could be born with all three elements. This marriage took place 500 years ago.
Over time, magicians rose to high positions in society due to their sheer power and historical prestige. This includes military positions, law enforcement positions, and jobs fighting in the colosseum, where their flashy fighting styles make excellent entertainment. While the outer edges of the country sometimes suffer from attacks from invaders, the capitol was largely peaceful, save a few minor crimes here and there. This is all about to change however. There are rumors that a person has developed a new shade of magic which has been dubbed "Black Magic." Several high ranking officials have been murdered, and people claim to have seen a dark figure prowling the streets in the night. What's more worrisome is that it seems the Black Magician is gathering an army. Because of this, the capital is preparing for war.
