Small update with information about Magic

Attack on Titan: The Angel of Humanity { Angel & Ithradine }

Eren felt a slight reassurance that not everyone was against in this trial "Right." He simply responded. The battle against the titans finally felt like it was changing...that humanity finally had a chance. He couldn't help but get the feeling that Sara and the leaders of the Scout Regiment had some ace up their sleeve in regards to freeing him. There was nothing else that felt needed to be said so he nodded in return and watched as the angel walked away. It was only then he noticed how nervous he actually was. Rest well? That seemed like a near impossible request as his mind buzzed with questions. This cascade of thoughts prompted him to check for the key given to him by his father. He audibly gasped as he felt nothing where it should be. A sense of panic consumed him as he wondered if he lost somewhere out on the battlefield or if the military police had taken it from him when he was unconscious. He gritted his teeth heavily before accepting the situation. He wouldn't know until this was all over. What followed was a night of restless sleep until the next morning where he would face a trial to decide if he would serve humanity, or be cut down as a threat.

Keira woke up to the sound of someone banging on her door. She nearly stumbled down the stairs as she rushed to see who it was "Miss Anderson! I was sent by command to escort you to the trial of Eren Yeager!" The full, masculine tone was muffled from behind the door. Panic set in as she realized she had slept much longer than she should of "A-alright! I will b-be out in a few minutes!" Her voice shakily called out. Keira frantically rushed around her house as she did her best to make herself look as best as she could before opening the door "Are you ready to go?" A strong set of amber eyes looked down at her as Keira nodded "Y-yes." His eyes moved toward her medical bag "It is necessary to bring that?" He asked rather rudely to which Keira nodded strongly "A-absolutely!" Now more than ever she couldn't imagine being without it. The military police soldier simply scoffed and turned around "Fine. Let's get moving." He stated with a roughness in his tone before walking off. Keira followed immediately after.

She was placed with many others from the scout regiment, including Mikasa, Sara, and Armin. It would be a lie to say that the fate of Eren didn't concern her. As her patient, Kiera now had a personal stake in this as well. However, the weight of the air in the room was almost suffocating and was quickly agitating her anxiety. Nevertheless, she would suffer through for the sake of the boy.

Eren looked around all those around him that formed the tribunal for his trial. Nobles, merchants, priests were on his right side along with the military police while the witnesses and some of the scout regiment were on his left. Immediately his eyes caught onto the forms of Mikasa and Armin. It wasn't difficult for him to see that they were scared for his sake. Meanwhile, he couldn't help but worry about them. His gaze finally wandered up to Darius Zackly and awaited the trial to begin.

The world as its people know is tearing itself apart. A vicious and brutal war wages across the continent of Alskyra as the ambitious Dremorian Empire continues to expand its territory. Renegades and bandits prowl the road attempting to take advantage of the chaos. Wild beasts and monster attacks grow in frequency as fewer and fewer soldiers are left to take care of them, leaving the task almost entirely of mercenaries or adventurers. The world itself appears to have gone mad.

Amidst this fighting, a terrible and powerful force is growing in strength in the mountainous lands of Altamea. An ancient evil that once nearly destroyed the world only to be barely defeated by a band of heroes lost to time. No historical records exist until roughly three hundred years after the event. It only exists as a universal legend told among every culture across the world. However, even with the world engulfed in war there remains a place that stands as a true place of peace.

A black castle, larger than any built, sits against a stormy sky only briefly illuminated by flashes of lighting. On top of a cliff it resides, far removed from a world that knows nothing but constant conflict and suffering. Here it stands as a place of refuge, only able to be found by those truly seeking asylum within its walls. A safe haven protected by powerful and ancient magic built by a powerful group that has long ceased to exist. It is guarded by a single individual of remarkable power along with a host of sentient automatons. Anything and everything one could desire is located within its walls so to provide the utmost comfort to those that stay there.

Everyone has their own reason for arriving at the Sanctuary. There are those who are permanent residents of the castle, choosing to spend the rest of their life within its magnificent and every-changing walls. Others come seeking a chance to turn their life around using the knowledge located there. It exists outside of the prejudice and problems of the outside world. Peasant or noble, ex-thief or paladin, it does not matter within the walls of the Sanctuary.

Beyond its primary function as a safe haven, it serves as a place of learning for those wishing to better themselves. Each one of the numerous automatons contains a wealth of knowledge that they will impart on any who are deemed worthy of receiving it. Several stories about legendary warriors and scholars involve the same story about encountering a rough time in their life before encountering a massive black castle. Every account never states the exact location of the castle, as anyone who leave the castle for good are forced to forget its position.

With a legend such as this, it should come as no surprise that there have been individuals who try to claim the knowledge and riches inside for themselves. Those that have attempted to sack the Sanctuary are never heard from again. However much is uncertain in these dangerous times as nations throw their power against each other.

Dremorian Empire

𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚊𝚗 𝙴𝚖𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚎

Before forming into the military super-power that it is today, the now Dremorian Empire was nothing but a large group of city-states inhabited by the Dremorian people. Repeated invasions, and eventual conquest, by the more unified Kingdom of Anseria created a single, common enemy among the different factions. It wasn’t until 200 years later under the banner of Prince Valian, from the large city-state of Armos, that the Dremorian people unified and evicted their Anserian oppressors. After a series of vicious battles and defeats for the Anserian army, they were left with no choice but to recognise the new sovereign state. Valian was crowned king and the Dremorian Empire was born, and with it a military power the world has never seen before.

• 𝙺𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙻𝚞𝚌𝚒𝚞𝚜
  The current emperor of the Dremorian Empire, Lucius rules his country with an iron-fist and a ferocious tenacity. After the loss of the beloved Queen Reina, he has begun a slow descent into a spiral of ruthlessness and aggression. While many now call him the “Mad King”, Lucius remains incredibly clever and coherent. He is the primary individual responsible for the creation of Dremoria’s ‘super-soldier’ program.
• 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝙳𝚎𝚜𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚍
  Desmond is the eldest son of Lucius and the current heir to the throne. He is also their best general with a tactical mind rivaling his father’s. His mind is not his only strength. Desmond is the first successful case to come out of the super-soldier program, earning him the moniker ‘Subject Zero’. The process, however, negatively affected his ability to feel empathy for others and has grown increasingly distant from his emotions and people.
• 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝙳𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚎
  The second Dremorian Prince, Dante is a reckless individual and near polar opposite of his elder brother. He loves to envelop himself in all the pleasures of life, which often mean women and alcohol. He does not however partake in either when he is on duty as commander of his unit. As a second-generation super soldier, he was spared the horrors many of the first generation went through. His personality is far more aggressive than his brother’s. Dante is perhaps the best warrior in Dremoria, but his temper can often lead to his downfall.

𝙲𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚎𝚜

• 𝙰𝚛𝚖𝚘𝚜
  Dremoria’s capital city and the most well-defended fortress in the entire empire. The buildings are mostly made of a highly resilient, flameproof, black stone mined from a nearby mountain. Armos possesses a huge cultural significance to the Dremorian people that non-Dremorians, even slaves, can not enter inside its walls.
• 𝙳𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚞𝚜
  The suspected birthplace of Dremoria’s super soldiers, most of the military research and production occurs within this city. Weapon dealers also sell their wares here in a large market known as the ‘War Bazaar’. This city contains the second largest concentration of military forces and is under the vigilance of lord-governor Silas Verdine. Rival kingdoms have sent agents to steal secrets but none have ever returned.
• 𝙰𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚎
  This city is an enigma among the Dremorian major cities for many reasons. The city is the only one with a large port and was the last city to be annexed into the empire. Non-Dremorians experience the greatest amount of freedom in this location and thus has the greatest population of non-Dremorians living there with the percentage being 40% other. Lord-governor Encel Armenis is the figure-head in charge of this city, but there are rumors that an underground organization calls the real shots.
• 𝙰𝚛𝚔𝚘𝚗
  The heart of Dremoria’s industrial power, Arkon’s primary purpose is to produce commercial goods for the entire empire and basic military equipment. Arkon’s lord-governor Aziel Drakspire ensures a constant flow of materials in and out of the city.
• 𝚉𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚑
  Zerith is the primary location for Dremorians wishing to pay pilgrimage to the gods. A gigantic temple at the center of the city is dedicated solely to the goddess of war. The lord-governor of Zerith, Dygus Pyranus, is often called a ‘warrior priest’ for his dedication to the goddess and his affinity for combat.
• 𝚅𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚕𝚎𝚜
  The population of Vangles is the highest among the major cities of the Dremorian Empire and is also the largest producer of food. A significant number of orphan children from this city go missing every year without even a word being mentioned. It is unclear whether or not the lord-governor of the city, Towa Cesadine, has any connection to the disappearances.

Kingdom of Anserith

𝙺𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚍𝚘𝚖 𝚘𝚏 𝙰𝚗𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚑

Once a large nomadic tribe, the winged Anserian people would make temporary camps in an area then proceed to abandon them completely. That was until they stumbled across a magical anomaly that caused large portions of landmass to float in the sky. This was also around the time that a deadly plague afflicted a large portion of their population. The present day capital of Aion was settled on the largest island, called Salvore, while those infected were forced into settlements below in the shadow of these majestic islands. Portals were constructed very recently in its history to allow non-flying visitors to the once inaccessible islands.

• 𝙺𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙳𝚊𝚌𝚒𝚛𝚎
  Dacire became a king when he was only in his teenage years. He has made many mistakes on his journey but has grown extremely wise and understanding in his later years. Unlike the majority of Anserian nobility, he does hold the same superior attitude towards those of others races. The Kingdom has undergone through many advancements in both science and magic under his guidance. His diligence is the reason why the Dremorian Empire’s aggression has not gone unchecked.
• 𝚀𝚞𝚎𝚎𝚗 𝙰𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚊
  The queen is generally loved by the many citizens of Anseria. While her husband is in charge of the nation, she handles the majority of internal affairs including politics between noble houses. It often comes as a surprise to foreign ambassadors but Astrana is the superior warrior of the two rulers. Before becoming queen, she was considered a prodigy in magic and the ways of the sword.
• 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝙸𝚕𝚕𝚞𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚘𝚜
  The heir to the Anserian throne, he inherited his mother’s guile and his father’s humility. As heir, he is the head of all military forces and is often sent on missions of diplomacy to other nations. Illuminos is far more open-minded than his noble peers and enjoys spending time among the citizens of his kingdom. He is a master of aerial combat and using his wings to outmaneuver his opponents.
• 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝙵𝚎𝚗𝚛𝚒𝚜
  Fenris is regarded as the best user of healing magic in the entire kingdom, and likely the whole world. The pride and joy of his life is the Astaris Library, an ancient structure recently uncovered containing thousands of texts dating back several centuries ago. His work has shed some light on to the mythological figures known as the Architects.
• 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚂𝚘𝚕𝚎𝚒𝚕
  The only daughter of Queen Astrana and King Dacire, she is far more ambitious that either of her two brothers. Soleil wants nothing more than to travel the world and have crazy adventures. This nature of hers has gotten her in trouble multiple times with both her parents and the city guard. She has trained herself with the spear and has taken many lessons from a martial arts master at her request. There are many who say that Soleil takes a lot after her mother.

𝙲𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚎𝚜

• 𝙰𝚒𝚘𝚗
  The first city ever settled on the largest landmass of the floating isles, its history is as old as the kingdom of Anserith itself. It is often called ‘The Golden City’ by outsiders due to the prevalence of gold and white stone in the construction of its buildings. All of Anserith’s nobility reside within this city and as well as the majority of the weathier portion of its citizens. Anserians pride themselves in the fact that Aion has, to this day, never been ransacked by foreign armies.
• 𝙽𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚛𝚊
  Neverra was initially founded in direct opposition to the founders of Aion, who were responsible for the exile of many Anserians during the time. Military tactics were greatly improved upon by the Neverran Anserians, as proved in the first and only civil war ever to occur in Anserian’s history. The reigning monarchy in Aion was deposed and replaced with an Neverran ruler, a line which to this day remains unbroken. Neverra today holds the largest military base in Anseria and is where all of their officers are now trained.
• 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚕
  The third largest island in the kingdom of Anserith, it is here that the famed Astaris Library is located. Evernal was the last of the Anserian major cities to be founded due to it being previously host to a large number of flying monster hives. It has quickly become the center of research and education in the kingdom, with the largest university located near the Astaris Library.
• 𝚅𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚎
  Verouge serves more as a resort city than anything else. The portals located in the city of Cherim below link to portals here. It nearly rivals the splendour of Aion and provides many services to entertain both citizens and tourists alike. The most famous location in Verouge is the ‘Grand Skyview Auditorium’, a mostly glass structure veering off the edge of the island. The resort theme of the city has led it to becoming a large, growing center of culture in Anseria and nearby kingdoms.
• 𝙲𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚖
  The largest Anserian city on the surface, it is heavily fortified and operates as the main trading hub for Anseria. It is also the only city where non-Anserians can own property. Due to it not being limited in expansion, the city has grown exponentially and is the second most populated city in Anseria. Located in the central plaza are portals to Verouge, a resort city located on one of the floating isles above.
• 𝚂𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚜
  It is perhaps the most unique city in terms of the geography of the island it resides on. In the center of the island lies a very tall mountain, something not present on the other islands. Seris was built up all along the bottom of the mountain, where the only flowing river on the isles comes from. The majesty of the mountain led Anserian’s religous elements to establish their headquarters here, with a large sanctuary located near the mountain’s peak. Many Anserians make a pilgrimage up the mountain to visit this sanctuary, doing so without the use of their wings.

Roughann

𝚁𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚗

Roughann lies on the edge of what is considered the ‘Civilized lands’, nothing but beasts, monsters, and lost civilizations lie beyond their territory. Life is not easy in this fringe kingdom, but those that tough through will find a place in it. The people are governed by a council of chiefs, who in turn elect a head chief to rule over all in times of need. That means that each settlement is pretty much independent of each other and often clash in contests of strength.

  Frequently referred to as ‘The Hub’ by locals, Charal is the first city most will go through upon entering Roughann. It was the first city settled on the edge of the ‘Civilized Land’ and consequently is the largest settlement in the region. The most prominent feature of the city is a large open market used by the other tribes for exchanging resources. Due to its size and favourable location, it is seen as the non-official capital of Rougann. Charal maintains a strict policy of neutrality in inter-tribal conflict and is often called upon to mediate negotiations. This had led to a lot of Head Chiefs being elected from Charal.
• 𝚂𝚎𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚍
  Seland is the last sizable settlement on the fringe, the city resembling more of a fortress than an actual town. Monsters attacks are a normal occurrence which has led the populace to be hardened and adaptable. Every man and woman of age must be able to fight without exception. The abundance of monsters in the vicinity has led Seland to host their own lodge of monster hunters. The greatest, if not best, warriors of Roughann will likely claim Seland as their home.
• 𝙺𝚊𝚕𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚗
  Kalthorn is famous all across the kingdoms for the large, complex dungeon at the heart of the city. The entrance to the dungeon lies within a large palace, the building which the first settlers discovered lost in an unexplored forest. The intetior of the palace was completely devoid of any and all valuables, furnitures, and decoations leaving only a large pair of metal doors in its lower level. The palace has since become a hub for those wishing to find treasures in the dungeon, of which there are plenty along with equal amounts of danger.

Armintium

Armintium is the homeland of all humans throughout the world, meaning that all can trace their heritage back to this old kingdom. It is a country very set on maintaining their traditions and culture, it is perhaps one of the oldest standing civilizations in the world. Their continued prosperity is thanks their creation of the paladin-class warrior. Originally their purpose was to simply uphold justice and the laws of the land but as relgion began to take hold, they took on the roles of defenders of the faith. A split occured later in their history that split the once single order into multiple, one for each god and goddess.

A great fortress rests just outside the city’s walls called the “Citadel Cathedral” and is the first home of the paladins. Every year a great festival and tournament is held to honor the paladins that have fallen and those who are about to take up the sword in their place. The city has never stopped expanding and is currently the largest human settlement in the world. It is one of the only kingdoms that does not revere one particular god 0r goddess above the others due to its factions of paladins. Because of Crusar’s importance to the paladin order, nearly all the various sects are in constant competition for the King and people’s favor.

  Vermoines is located on the largest river on the continent, a large bridge joins the two sections of the city. Due to its key economical position, a very large amount of trading is done here. This has made the city very culturally diverse with a wide range of non-human residents. Exposure to these different cultures and races has made the people very accepting of change.

  The farm fields around Lustere have been described as a “sea of golden waves that glisten in the sun”. A series of small river around the city deposits nutrient-rich into the ground, making the land extremely fertile for growing wheat and other crops. It was first settled due to the discovery of a mineral-rich cave system nearby, thus giving its name, but the citizens moved more to farming after discovering how fertile the soil was. The end of the harvest seasons is marked with a festival called the ‘Bread Bowl’ in which many forms of famous Lustere bread is freely available for eating. Of course the ideal conditions for wheat has lead to a fine variety of beers as well.

Civilized Races

Humans

The most numerous species across the world, Humans are quite varied among the many kingdoms in which they reside. They do not possess any physical qualities of note but they do possess incredible magic potential and creativity. They are the only species that can cast call aspects of magic, making their mages incredibly versatile.

Draeni

These humanoids possess an incredible resilience to pain, able to shake off the most punishing of blows. Their typical features include some shade of gray skin, black eyes except for a colored iris, black horns, and a pair of black fangs on their bottom and top lines of teeth. Draeni express very little through physical expressions in public, requiring a trained eye to pick up on the nuanced movements they do make. That being said, this makes Draeni very good at reading the expressions of others but struggle to recognize sarcasm and suggestive tones. They face a harsh prejudice however due to their similarity to demons. It does not help their case that they are naturally proficient in dark and body magic while being unable to cast light magic. Extremely bright flashes of light can leave Dranei blinded for longer periods than others

Amali

A very broad term for a wide assortment of races, it was first coined by a Elven scholar to described the seemingly human species with animal-like traits. The homeland of the Amali was once the vast forest known as the Evergrove, since taken over by the Dremorian Empire.. Amali typically live in large travelling tribes, normally made out of similar Amali. Most Amali also possess the ability to turn into a large version of the animal they share qualities with. The types of magic available to them depends on the kind of Amali they are.

Anserian

Anserians are a prideful race with large, typically white, feathered wings with a superior stance towards other races. Their culture revolves around a strict hierarchy of social classes. It is only thanks to the current king of Anseria that this commonly held attitude has started to shift. Blonde hair and blue eyes are very common and desired traits with the kingdom of Anserith. They are masters of the sky and excellent at healing and wind magic while being unable to cast dark and illusion magic.

Dremorians

A race of hardened warriors, everything in Dremoria revolves around one’s strength and prowess in combat. They possess a pair of large, almost always black, featherly wings with a long, leathery tail with a spade-like end. They also have a pair of horns that grow from above their temples . Their ability to fly makes them one of the largest threats to the Kingdom of Anserith. Dremorians revere flying almost as much as they revere the gods, having many traditions centered around the act. Unlike Anserians, They have the natural ability to hide their wings magically. Dremorians have a very high, internal body temperature and are able to withstand intense heat and cold alike. The heat that radiates from their body can be felt by those close enough and one can eventually even read their emotions by the rise and drop in the surrounding temperature. They have a naturally affinity for fire and dark magic but are unable to cast any kind of healing magic. As a compensation, they have developed a much faster regenerative system.

High Elf

A race of long-living intellectuals, High-Elf society is isolated from the rest of the known world. They are very protective of their traditions and technology from outsiders. They have less raw strength and endurance than other races but make up for it with increased dexterity, agility, and magical prowess. A low birth-rate means that while they live quite long, they are few in number. Vampires, Dark Elves, and Light Elves can trace their origin to this race.

Dark Elf

Once High Elves, Dark Elves have abandoned the strict traditions of their ancestors in favor of pursuing their passions They were once hunted by their ancestors and began to operate in the night as a result. Overtime their natural skin color changed to a grey to adapt to the low light. Now they are no longer persecuted but still retain their preference for nighttime living.

Light Elf

Light elves were once a sect of High Elves that retreated into a massive system of caves in a search for enlightenment. The combination of constant devotion and darkness led them to develop bio-luminescent pale skin, giving them an otherworldly appearance. They are even more reclusive the their High Elf ancestors so seeing a Light Elf outside of their home is extremely rare.

Giant

A race of very tall humanoids, records suggest they were once much taller than the 9 meter height they are now. They normally possess light bluish skin and live at higher elevations such as far in the mountains. Their ‘cities’ consist of one, continuous mass structure that all of the inhabitants live together. Their children are typically raised by both the parents and the elders of the settlement.

Dragon

The most ancient race that is alive today, Dragons are perhaps the strongest sentient beings in the world. They are often confused with their lesser cousins, wyverns, who are simply wild beasts. A true dragon boasts incredible toughness, speed, and magical ability. Dragons are typically divided into categories by the kind of magic they can perform. Most dragons can only perform one type of magic, unless they are hybrids, but it is always beyond what other races can do. Their physiology allows them to live for millenia which makes the oldest of their kind extremely wise. They do not produce a lot of offspring and often remain isolated from civilized areas, making it difficult to ever find one.

Draconian

They share many physical features with dragons, all except for their wings, but on a smaller scale. Early Draconians first lived in deep cave systems, feeding off of mushrooms and creatures that roamed the underground. While Draconians have the ability to live for nearly two centuries, they do not possess the vitality of a Dragon.

Vampire

Contrary to popular belief, It is impossible to become a vampire through infection. Vampires are actually a cousin to elves who do not consume anything but blood to sustain their bodies allowing them to effectively live forever. Most Vampires are incredibly wealthy from an accumulation of years of experience. They use this wealth to purchase blood from willing donors, alleviating much of the stigma against them. In fact, a whole market has been created for those willing to sell their blood as Vampires are willing to pay very well. They are masters of psychic and dark magic. Unlike the myth, The Sun will not damage a vampire but it does irritate them. That is why most vampires will cover up a majority of their bodies if going outside during the day. The most powerful of their kind convene at a semi-annual summit to discuss matters of the world and gain influence with other vampires.

Aetheri

Also known as faeries, they are small, winged humanoids that can make themselves larger for short periods of time. They are energetic and fast thinkers, often speaking faster than most people can understand. Their lack of physical strength is compensated by their highly potent magic.

Dwarves

A race of stocky, strong, and often stubborn individuals with an appearance similar to humans. They are natural engineers and deep earth miners. They are the only race who completely lack magic, but they make up for it with an incredible resistance to all magical attacks. They have built some of the greatest and most advanced contraptions known throughout the world.

Orcs

Orcish legends state they were born of fire and mud. Their society is split amongst many different clans who owe loyalty to a single king. Honor is highly valued amongst the clans despite their brutish nature. Elegance is another matter entirely, as Orcs only care if the object will last and is functional. Contrary to other races, Orcs actually grow much stronger in the later parts of their life. It is very rare for Orcish mages to be able to perform more complex and intricate spells. The have the ability to enter a bloodlust in battle, which allows them to take massive amount of damage and keep fighting. They lose much of their reasoning skills and will often die when the bloodlust is over. What little magic expertise they posses lies in fire and earth magics, with more disciplined magics beyond their reach.

Ravseni

A reptilian race with the natural ability to camouflage, they possess the shortest lifespan of all the races at an average of 55 years. They are quick to mature however and can adapt very quickly to any environment. Ravseni society divides its individuals into four categories: warriors, shamans, craftsmen, and chiefs. Warriors are much larger than other Ravseni and in charge of hunting, keeping the peace, and defending the others. Shamans are magic casters in the Ravseni and also serve as spiritual guides. Craftsmen are the largest category including everything from merchants to farmers to weaponsmiths. Chiefs are those who possess qualities from each of the other three other kinds of Ravseni. Ravseni are masters of water and illusion magic, often using it to ambush much larger armies and prey.

Anubis

A nomadic people living in the desert area referred to as the “Wasteland", they are humanoids with a dog-like features. They mostly keep to themselves but will often help lost explorers or travelers that end up in their land.

Veidish

Veidish are perhaps the most abnormal of the races. They are not humanoid in appearance and resemble a collection of vines and branches arranged in random orientations. Meetings with Veidish have revealed that they possess a very childish intellect. Little is known about their origins and where they come from. The beliefs and traditions displayed by the Veidish are often bizarre to the other races.

Etherals

A loose term to refer to the wide host of sentient spirits that inhabit the land. Their appearance is as diverse as their personalities, meaning they are as likely to help as to harm. If a individual gains the trust and favor of an ethereal, the spirit may bond to them as a familiar.

Magic

Magic is present in nearly every corner of the world and is mainly utilized as weapon in the many battles waging across the continent. Mages are individuals who have dedicated most of their life to studying magic and have learned to use it to its greatest potential. Casting a spell involves a incantation followed by the spell's assigned name. Doing so require the mage to imbue the words with magic power and project their will within them. This process is what creates the most impressive and dangerous of magic casting. Cantrips are lesser spells that require only the given name and can be used by non-mages. Experienced mages can manipulate the raw elements of magic to perform minor tricks such as lighting a fire place or making small objects float. While magic is highly potent and dependent on the user, there do exist a few established schools of magic. These include:

Elemental Magic:

Control of the elements and its properties. This is the earliest and most researched school of magic. The magical elements are fire, water, earth, wind, light, and dark. Mastery of all elements is nearly impossible for all but the human race and even then most die for achieving it.

Manipulation:

Illusions and alterations. This magic was first introduced by the Amali people who used it to spy upon other kingdoms. It has the ability to physically change a person or object for a period of time as well as warp a person's perceptions. It is typically of assassins to train in this kind of magic.

Runic Writing/Magic Engineering:

This is the magical art of inscribing magical power into inanimate objects. It is often also called Magic Engineering due to the fact that any and all construction of magical items, structures, and devices are based on the fundamental principles of this school.

Arcano Nevo:

Almost as old as the Elemental school of magic, this school is only about negating the effects of the other schools. Here is where mages learn to protect themselves with magical barriers and spells that can stop or reverse certain spells.

Conjuration:

Often listed as the 'black school', Conjuration involves the summoning and enhancement of magic spirits or creatures to do the bidding of its user. Necromancy is sub-category of this school for which it earned its current nickname. Any students of this school must undergo intense training by the paladin order before they can become a full-fledged mage.

Legends

The One (Gaia Golem)

A being said to have come to life upon the creation of the world. It roamed the planet for millennia forming the oceans and land, seeding life everywhere it stepped. Legends then state it sat down against a cliffside to watch the world it created. A popular tale among children is the story of a young girl who gets lost in the woods and finds the lone golem. The immobilized golem teaches the girl how to survive on her own, and eventually she decides to take care of the Gaia Golem.

The Lich King

A once mighty mage-king that feared his own death and the destruction of his legacy. He employed the top magical minds in the kingdom to develop a ritual to keep him alive forever. The ritual succeeded but it did not stop his body from deteriorating. A madness fell upon the king as he turned to necromancy and demonic powers to keep his appearance youthful. Eventually, these dark forces twisted his mind and he unleashed an army of undead across the world. It was only thanks to a valiant group of heroes that he was defeated.

Holy Dragon Dromon

It was once widely believed that Dromon flew across the land protecting the world from otherworldly threats. Time has turned this into a mere fairy tale despite the occasional reporting of a sighting, usually by a town drunk. A small number of Draconians still believe Dromon roams Alskyra protecting them and have even started worshiping him as another god.

The Three Messegners

Vaguely mention in a prophecy about the Lich King's return, It states that three beings of incredible power will awaken to prepare the world and help fight against the coming darkness. No other information exists.

Endohi

A leviathan creature stated to mark the end of the world. Untold destruction of the world will occur should it awaken from its slumber somewhere deep beneath the ocean. After it consumes all life, it is said that the Gaia Golem will once again rise again to reform the world.

Organizations

Fiends

The official name for the Dremorian Empire’s super-soldiers, they are without a doubt stronger than normal soldiers in about every way except numbers. They heal faster, strike harder, and move quicker. They are the biggest threat to Anserith’s air superiority and could destroy Aion in as little as an hour should they reach it. Opposing forces have recently discovered that psychic magic is very effective against them, for reasons yet unknown.

Seraphs

Anserith’s most elite soldiers, they are one of the most disciplined forces in the world and serve as the royal guard. It is often said that a Seraph is worth ten normal Anserian soldiers.

Shadow-ban

A criminal syndicate that has operations across the entire continent. Any competition is violently shut-down. Their influence has control of several government officials across the kingdoms.

The Paladin Order

A once purely human force, the Paladin Order has accepted many other races into the fold. It is made up of several different minor factions dedicated to a specific god/goddess. There is still a faction that gives equal devotion to the pantheon but they are the smallest and least powerful group.

The League

The only criminal organization that can match the Shadow-ban, The League fills its ranks with some of the most deadly assassins in the world. It is not uncommon for The League to abduct children that show promise and manipulate them into killing machines. A majority of high-profile murders can be traced back to this group.

Self-Replicating Factory (Ithradine's Testing Grounds)

1st IC Post for Sanctuary

---

---

Today is just another day within the grand walls of the Sanctuary. A brilliant sun began its rise into the clear blue sky shining rays of light down upon the wings and towers of the massive castle forever situated on a cliff separated from the world by a thin, but powerful veil of magic. The landscape surrounding the structure was uneven and marked by large, jagged rocks on the approach to its sole building’s entrance. Its inhabitants went about their routine while a host of automation sentries patrolled its decorated halls. What happens in this castle of wonders is anything but ordinary. Magic and technology combine together to create a place the likes the world has never seen. Doors that open to an untamed forest or an untouched beach. A collection of books larger than any in the world and all perfectly preserved. Magical constructs that are beyond all reasoning. Spells that are not yet known to the outside world. It is as much a place of learning as it is a place of refuge. Each resident guaranteed safety and free access to all the facilities granted by the Sanctuary's master. The massive castle is even home to a few permanent residents who have decided to live out their lives in the peaceful security of the Sanctuary. These 'disciples' are often tasked with helping out others and using their knowledge and skills to benefits the Sanctuary. It can appear as a paradise to some when the world outside is harsh and bitter. As long as the master of the Sanctuary lives, it shall remain as a place of safety and peace. He is as mysterious as the castle itself, choosing to cover up most of his body including a mask that he never takes off. It is split down the middle with one side painted black and the other white, with opposite colored eyes painted on each. Curious individuals are free to challenge him to a duel but none have ever last long against his might. It is believed that he is a human but the raw strength he possess and incredible magic power tends to make most people unsure if even this is true. Despite all this power, he does not show any signs of it corrupting his mind like it would to so many others. Instead, he expresses nothing but compassion and understanding towards others. When he is not teaching others, he can often be found wandering the castle halls conversing with the residents. He has an uncanny ability to show up just when someone needs him.

“The world is once more heading towards a point of no return. I have foreseen this for some time now but my oath forbids any intervention. Our fates are tied to no more than observers of our own world until it is already too late. Where are the others now I wonder? Disguised as pilgrims traversing the land? Hermits deep in the wildlands and mountains? I long for their company yet I wish I never do. Their presence before would be the gravest of omens. I suppose I am not entirely lonely as I have each and every one of my precious children here with me within this sanctuary of mine. I suppose there is also the visitors that come now that I have opened its doors to them, though they are more temporary and risky relationships. Even so, It has become my greatest pleasure in harboring them from the cruelty of the world outside and giving them a chance at a new life. It reminds me of a simpler and more peaceful time of my life. I hope I never have to use this fortress for its true purpose. For now, I will shelter all who seek it.”

Rez smiled solemnly as he finished the latest entry into his journal, setting the pen back into its jar of ink. He turned his head to look at the bookshelf that was nearly filled with such journals. Writing everyday was a necessary part of his routine as the years spent in this place have all started to blend together. Sometimes the entries were about his thoughts and sometimes it was about the numerous personalities that have come and gone through the centuries. He could safely say that everyday spent here has been interesting at the very least. Rez never tired of hearing the children's stories, their tales of triumph and tragedy. It was perhaps the one, true factor that has stopped him from losing his own identity. He smiled warmly at the thought then pushed his chair back off the desk and stood up. Enough time had been spent in his personal chambers already and it was time to greet everyone. Would today bring any new faces? It was a question he greeted every day with a hopeful smile. After the sins he had committed, this was the least he could do to atone.

Rez left the comfort of his chambers and headed down the spiral staircase that led up to his tower, which was also the highest point in the Sanctuary. It would have been more practical to use the elevator at the center of his tower but he preferred to walk when possible. Once he reached the bottom, he was greeted by one of the many constructs, named sentinels, he had named Bradamante "Good morning, master. Breakfast has been prepared. The instructors's lessons are ready. The amali Vey has requested the archery range again. New guests should be arriving with a day or two. That is everything." The deep, not quite human voice spoke in a toneless and clear voice as it always did with the morning report.

Rez nodded to confirm he had received the report "Thank you, Bradamante." He turned to face the contruct, who was several inches taller than the master "Make sure you are at the front gate in preparation for these guests' arrival and give them your warmest welcome when they get here." Bradamante was the only construct other being that was allowed inside Rez's tower, so it was also the first 'face' he met every morning. The artificial creature was far more direct and to the point than the others "Of course." Bradmante replied immediately and proceeded in front of Rez, moving at a far quicker pace. Efficient, obedient, and unrelenting. These traits were instilled into each of the constructs that guarded the Sanctuary, making them the perfect soldiers.

The master followed in Bradamante's footsteps, choosing to walk down the grand, double staircase that led to the open central chamber. Large pillars extended to the roof above high enough for even a fully grown dragon to enter. Ancient banners with heraldry long forgotten hung from the ceiling illuminated brilliantly by cages of blue flames. Directly above the center of the room was a large painting of some unknown heroes battling an army of undead warriors. the large room was the equally enormous front gate made of a dark-grey metal. A intricate design was carved into each door that was never in the same pattern twice as it slowly shifted throughout the day. For most of the inhabitants here, the day began with a large breakfast held in the main mess hall and that was where he was headed as well.

A wave of delicious aromas invaded his nostrils before he even opened the door. Once he was actually inside, it engulfed his sense of smell completely. Everyone who saw him enter greeted him loudly, save for a few, while he walked further into the room. It used to be that all the food here was created through magical means using old recipes, but recently there has been a few of the residents that have volunteered to prepare every meal for all the others here which made each bite even more tasteful. He moved over to his favorite table which was situated by the large glass windows facing out towards the twisted landscape.

Rez, who was known by the residents as Mister R or Master R, watched the children eat their food while he waited for his to be brought out. He knew each and every one of their names. There was Volfango, a male Amali who had come here on the brink of death; Cisna, a female Anserian who showed up in tears and refused to speak anything of her past; Arton Yule, a Draeni with a dream to become a champion of the weak; Vey, an Amali rebel looking for the strength to free her people from oppression; Valerie, a Dark Elf mage on a quest to explore the darker side of magic; Voltaire, a young human trying to rise above his broken childhood; Emile Volstryggr, a human without any combat or magical ability but with a strong charisma and a desire to create a world of peace; and several others. It was Rez's hope that he could help them achieve their goals and dreams, and perhaps make the world a better place for it. The only way to avert the coming disaster, was to have faith in the people of this age.

~ Valkyria Chronicles - Changing of the Guard ~

Small fragments of rock and dust were sent through the air as a stray bullet struck the piece of rubble that Daniel was positioned behind. This momement of respite allowed his hearing to gradually get back to normal, although the ringing still made it near impossible to hear anything beyond his own thoughts. He couldn't help but wonder if that vision of Elizabeth had been real or merely a figment of his imagination. No, it was definitely her. There was no way his mind could construct such a vivid vision and besides, the words she spoke were definitely hers. Even in death, she was his guardian angel. He would keep her promise cause in the end...he couldn't really ever say no to her.

It was difficult to put his interest in the apparent squabbling between the two sappers, though if he could hear what was being said he would have told them both to knock it off. One observation he made was quick to put him on edge. There was a considerable amount of women now filling their little rubble pile, and even worse was that two of them bore shock-trooper equipment. One seemed to have more than one screw loose and the other seemed riddled with anxiety and uncertainty. It did not give him great confidence to be fighting near them when they charged the trench-line again.

Though a sea of calm was present in his features, he could feel the rapid beating of his heart in his chest. Was it fear? Anticipation? Excitement? He couldn't place it, though it coursed through his very blood and made the skin on his fingers twinge. Was it because he now had to fight to keep a promise rather than to simply kill and survive? Ever since Elizabeth passed away he cared for very little beyond what served him best at the time. However, her ghost had put the smallest crack in that hard shell he made...a chance for others to break through to him.

Since he was unable to properly hear orders, he instead watched every movement Jean made like a hawk. Through doing this, he could see the terror that gripped the young lance corporal's heart. Daniel had no words of comfort to ease the horror nor advice to push past it. Nothing beyond ending this battle as quickly as possible was going to help. Daniel's eyes narrowly as he watched the Darscen's hand raise and quickly moved into a position to move. The coils of muscle within his legs bundling up and ready to spring forward the moment that hand dropped. He had resigned himself to doing the terrible things that this war would require, so that others wouldn't.

Dirt was kicked up into the air as soon as the signal was given. A hailstorm of machine gun fire lit up the path forward for the charging infantry. Instead of rushing ahead this time, he took up a position alongside the lance corporal. If he would stop for any reason Daniel was determined to kick his ass all the way to the trench. A responsibility now rested on his shoulders and Daniel would be damned if he let Jean get out of it. The various aches and pains of his body were washed away with the tidal wave of adrenaline that pumped into his body. Every broken piece of his heart...every scar on his body...he did not suffer through them to die in a place like this. We was going to live if only in defiance of every challenge life sent his way.

Daniel slide across the mud into a foxhole next to the lance corporal. He managed to check the chamber of his rifle before the order came that he had been waiting for. A glance at the beserk shock-trooper was enough to tell him what to do as he ripped the explosives off a couple dead imperials and threw them into the trench. Explosions rocked the fortification kicking up a black cloud of wood, dirt, and blood. Unsurprisingly, the berserk woman was the first to rush in with Daniel quickly following suit. The ringing in his ear had mostly faded leaving behind only the somewhat muffled sounds of combat. The instincts of his training consumed him as an imperial rifleman peeked from cover. Daniel snapped his rifle against his shoulder and lined up the cross-hairs with his target's chest. He wasted no time pressing his finger against the metal trigger and felt the familiar feeling of the weapon press into his braced shoulder. The shot tore through the air and ripped into the imperials chest before making a clean exit into the dirt wall behind him.

"IF YOU KILL THE PUPPIES, THE BITCH TEARS YOUR THROAT, IMPS!"

Those words bore through the clog in Daniel's hearing straight into his mind, pushing every other sound out with its sheer ferocity. The full and sudden return of his hearing went unnoticed as he glanced at Mila in almost complete disbelief. That was when he heard the battle cry of an Imperial charging from his blind spot. Quickly, he pivoted his feet and pushed off his toes as the sharp blade shot past where his chest had been. Daniel's weapon was dropped to the ground as he reached with his left hand and grabbed the Imp's right arm and used the soldier's momentum with his right hand to lift him off his feet and slam the bastard on his back. Daniel immediately jumped onto the soldier, straddling his waist and locking his legs with his own, and tore his weapon away from him. Then he latched his hands on his neck and began to squeeze, his thumbs purposefully digging into the soft flesh.

The Imperial reached and clawed at his arms and chest in panic while falling just short of Daniel's face. Blood began to seep from his neck as Daniel's thumbs dug deeper. While the soldier struggled to breath, Daniel lifted his head and began to smash it against the ground to the sound of cracking bone. Within seconds the last signs of life disappeared from the soldier and with one last desperate attempt to pull away Daniel's fingers...his life was ended. Daniel let out a loud exhale as he removed his hands from the corpse's throat now covered in blood and dirt. He stood up and picked up his rifle before plunging the bayonet into the Imp's chest. The lack of reaction was enough to confirm his death. He felt nearly nothing from taking this life but the age of the man struck him. The Imperial had to be no older than he was. Daniel quickly took his mind off it. It was us or them, and right now he had to make sure it was them.

Attack on Titan: The Angel of Humanity { Angel & Ithradine }

His eyes went wide as shocked enveloped his expression, his body shaking as the words hit him. It was impossible. She had to be lying. There was no way he would ever try to harm Mikasa! And yet....staring into her eyes told him different. She had no reason to lie to him and there was a gap in his memory right after he transformed. He hung his head down in guilt for moment before focusing on the positive: Mikasa was unharmed. A small smile of relief came to his lips as Sara kept on talking.

It really did not matter if he approved or not. Nothing could be done to change it now. He had to face the reality that tomorrow his fate would be decided on and he would not take it lying face down. Especially not now when he had the power to accomplish his dream of killing every single titan. At long last he had a chance of finding that freedom he had yearned for since he and Armin were little "Witnesses..." He said softly. It gave him some relief to know that his friends would be there to support him. He was prepared to fight. To show all of them why they should put their faith in him!

Reinstated? His heart jumped a little at that possibility. Did she mean the Survey Corps? That meant he might finally get the chance to see what it is like outside these cramp walls! Wait, did he hear right? Disposed of? He was human! Before he could let that thought simmer, he looked up into the lieutenant's eyes. A plan to make sure he got out of this alive? There was little to do but believe in them. A renewed look of determination shown both in Eren's face and his eyes "Alright! I will put my trust in him, so that I may live to slaughter every last titan!" His complete disdain for the titan menace showed in his last words.

Attack on Titan: The Angel of Humanity { Angel & Ithradine }

Eren watched as the revelation of his identity seemed to affect Sara somehow. He could only look on in minor anticipation of her next question, constantly wondering about his fate. There was no way he was going to remain locked up here forever. He couldn't stop until every single titan was killed. They were mindless killing machines that needed to be completely destroyed. There was only one thing worse than them and that was the sentient titans. As the image of the Colossal Titan flashed in his mind, anger spread throughout his entire body and was only stopped by the sound of Sara's voice.

His eyes closed shut tightly while his brows furrowed strongly. He nearly bit down on his tongue as he gritted his teeth to suppress the feelings inside. Eren's eyes opened wide with clear and barely suppressed rage "It was my fault. The Colossal Titan appeared and I was not fast enough to kill it!" His clenched his right tightly, allowing him to calm down a little "The same thing happened just like five years ago, except this time it was targeting the fixed cannons as well. I came so close to taking him down but then he vanished." Eren did nothing to hide his frustration and anger. What came next was the most painful memory of it all.

Heavy breathing soon took over as he was forced to remember "We were recalled back to HQ where we were given new orders to form the middle guard of the defense. That's...that's where it all went wrong..." The finger-nails of his right fist dug into the flesh of his palms but did not draw blood "My team, team 34, were ordered to assist the vanguard forces. W-we...we were on the move when we were attacked by an aberrant titan." A steady stream of tears fell form his face "I thought we manged to escape but it killed Thomas! I wanted the bastard to pay so I chased after it." He wiped the tears from his face "Everything went wrong after that. We were engaged by multiple titans and I nearly lost Armin. I had to pull him out of a titan's dirty mouth. The last thing I really remembered is an insatiable rage at all of their kind as it swallowed me!"

He forced himself to take a few moments to return his breathing to normal before beginning again "The next thing I know Mikasa and Armin are by my side surrounded by other soldiers aiming their weapons at us. I managed to protect them from a canon shot but it was Armin who manged to save us. He bought enough time for Commander Pixis to come and actually listen to us. That was also when I realized what I could do." Eren laid back against the backboard of the bed, a little exhausted from talking "You should know what came after that, right?" The plan had actually succeeded. Humanity had their first victory. And now? He was locked up in this cell when he should be out there killing titans!
