From times immemorial, magic has caused the greatest atrocities the island continent of Altea has ever seen. Those with the gift of magic, eventually turn to exploit it for their own ends, regardless of their previous intentions. But finally, peace was restored, when the Paladins were formed. Armed with brilliant white power of the light, they were capable to negate the powers of the mages and bring order and prosperity to Altea. In the end, mages were still being born. Some turned themselves in for purification, a ritual that robs them of magic and leaves the person with everlasting pain. Others flee and hide. But the society at large were at peace. Altea was united under the banner of Meldiniar, and to crown was given to the founder of Paladins, Grand Master Grinoc, as the king relinquished his throne.
And so, Meldiniar flourished, but the hunt for users of magic still continued. But this delicate "balance" was broken by the Azure Covenant, a group of mages who kill and destroy everyone in their path, including other mages. After so many years, the Paladins finally get to truly fight their old enemy, not just hunt for runaways. But is all magic evil? Are all mages evil? Is the power of the Paladins truly divine?
Essentially, this is a Mages vs Paladins scenario, but without any good/evil morality nonsense. And there is more to this old conflict than meets the eye. However, this RP is meant to be mainly player driven. While there is a planned ending, the planned plot revelations, they are very flexible, all depending on how the story plays out. Feel free to suggest your own races, nations, events, and so on. All within reason, of course. And as such, the following lists are the base, and more can be added, as long as it fits the world.
Questions, suggestions and criticism are all welcome.
