♊ Daear, The Country of War ♊
Daear, a harsh land of endless conflict and rigorous climate. With three nations under separate tyrannic rule, any thoughts of hope or peace throughout the land is ludicrous at best. The reason for this? The Exemplar War, an eternal battle that has raged on since the birth of Daear. The reasons for each nation to participate are all similar in one way or another; the nation of progress Doniaeth struggles to maintain it’s resources as they expend them continuously with their constantly developing technology, the nation of faith Kaien lacks in population as they are constantly ravaged with disease and famine due to the infertile land it is built upon, and the nation of conquest Thaos seeks to spread their rule throughout the rest of Daear.
♊ The Exemplar War ♊
Imagine a war that had no start, or cause, it simply had always been and the world accepts it as it is. That generally defines The Exemplar War. The elite soldiers of each nation march to the battlefields of Daear every day, the strongest of men and women representing their nation and fighting for the ideals they represent. Constant danger that is always present from the day you step outside the city walls until the day you return within them.
There are those who oppose this war, and strive to stop it. Though the sheer words of ‘peace’ are laughed at by the masses of every nation. Why? Because it’s all the people have ever known, and are afraid of change. With lack of support, even from the oppressed populations, rebellions and revolutionaries are never able to make a large enough impact on any kingdom to affect the route of inevitability. And thus’ The Exemplar War will continue until one of the nations decided to conquer the others, or a large enough change happens to stop it.
♊ Uniquities of Daear ♊
Technology: The nation of Doniaeth is known for bringing the advanced technology that Daear is equipped with today. Though Donians are the creators and engineers that brought it, both Thao and Kaiens have learned of this nation’s marvels through war and taught the bright minds of their own nations how to imitate the engineering and science for their own benefit. This technology has mixed with the cultures of each nation though still Doniaeth is the most advanced and skilled in it’s uses and progresses in advancement every day.
Examples: Guncraft, Primitive Robotics, Primitive Vehicles, Explosives, and Prosthetics.
Magic: The nation of Kaien is known for bringing the otherworldly power of magic that is well-known and common throughout Daear. Magic is said by the Kaien to come from the gods, but the Thao and Donians have since proven that magic is powered through aetherial ley-lines that are able to be tapped into with proper teachings. Magic was also introduced to the other nations through war, and have since branched into countless types that are now commonly used by all nations on the battlefield. Though the people who first brought this art to Daear will always be more skilled at using it and will continue to believe that the orientation of their birthright is holy.
Examples: Summoning, Pyro-Cryo-Necro-Hydromancy, Healing, Etc.
Natural Arts: The nation of Thao is known for bringing the natural arts to Daear. The natural arts are a number of different styles of combat and abilities that harness the bodies energies to bring about an action. The natural arts are a rare case in which on Thao are able to use them, though through enemies witnessing these techniques at war many attempts of imitation have been made, though none have yet been successful.
Examples: Martial Arts, Jutsu, Ki Usage, and other miscellaneous techniques.
♊ The People of Daear ♊
Donians: The people of Doniaeth are known for their superior intellect and innovative creations. Usually having witty, matter-of-fact views on life and their surroundings, Donians are natural born philosophers and due to this Doniaeth has a large amount of internal problems within their borders. One of these problems is the Hemoplague, or the more literal term Vampirism. The Hemoplague is said to be the creation of one of Doniaeth’s lead alchemists in his attempt to create an Elixir of Immortality, tested on the wealthy upper-class whom dived into this experiment head first, the result being golden-eyed citizens with a thirst for blood. Another is revolution, as many great minds are gathered in a single place are bound to come to disagreements in ideals. Rebels are fairly common within Doniaeth, causing the ruling power to be extremely strict on the people; curfews, guarded towns, and oppression also plagues this nation and it’s people.
Kaien: The people of Kaien are known for their strong religious beliefs and conviction to their nation. Kaien people put their faith before everything. Entrusting their life, well-being, even the decisions they make to the The Holy Church of Glân. Due to this, the nations people are viewed by the others as mindless and pitiful. Even strengthening this look on the people is the broad hierarchy it clings to. While the church and it’s surrounding cities are wealthy, fruitful and heavily protected. The lower tiers of life and it's citizens are people who work the fields or struggle to make due are used simply as slaves to serve the higher-ups. Though all is not bad in this impoverished land, for they are gifted with the strongest priests, mages, and sorcerers all who serve the nation with hand over heart for the faith they so desperately believe in. and those whom truly love their people defend the less defended villages with all of their might.
Thao: The people of Thaos, the smallest of nations, are known to be joyful and proud warriors who are given absolute freedom in their actions after the age of eighteen. Scratch that, a better way to put it is that the tyrant who rules the nation is afraid to oppress the monsters she creates within the walls of his kingdom. Thao live for the battlefield, man and woman alike they are raised in a militaristic life where each individual is taught a skill unique to that person and are trained to harness that skill to become a weapon of war. The single problem the nation has, and the reason it has not grown is the ruler itself. She is a young, careless, insolent, ruler who has no real goal other than the love for war and slaughter of people from other nations. Because of this, the people of Thaos have more effect on the nation’s state which hinders it from growing.
