Red Level monster sightings have surged by 40%, and kingdoms are too distracted by politics to notice the evolving danger. ### **Oakhaven** Once the jewel of the forests, it is now a labyrinth of rotting wooden slums and ancestral ruins. It is said the King of Oakhaven tried to fuse an Astra fragment with his own soul. The result was the **"Stagnation Plague,"** which prevents any wealth or harvest from prospering. It is a refuge for the marginalized: impure-blooded elves and hybrids fleeing the prejudice of other realms, located in the West. ### **Iron Bastion** Located beside Oakhaven near massive mountains and ore-rich caverns, the Bastion is inhabited by dwarves, orcs, and stone giants. It is the largest exporter of runic weapons. They have sealed the passages to Oakhaven with massive gates, fearing the plague might spread to their precious mineral veins, located in the West-Central. ### **Esmeraldia** An organic kingdom where architecture merges with millennial trees. Thanks to the purity of the waters and the **Astra-Terra** fragment, food in Esmeraldia possesses mild healing properties. Fairies and elves govern trade, maintaining a delicate balance with nature, though they are known for being isolationist and arrogant. It sits on the opposite side of the Iron Bastion, located in the East / Southeast. ### **Glacier Archipelago** A kingdom nestled in snowy mountains where the cold never ends. They depend entirely on trade with the Esmeraldia. Residents wear heavy coats and live in thick-walled houses for warmth. It is a place of ethereal beauty where snow dragons and humans coexist. Their festivities are famous for light magic that illuminates the eternal winter sky, located in the North / Northeast. #**Power Systems & Ranking** ​Magic & Guilds: Magic is industrial and commercial. Residents either join Academies for trade or Expeditions for high-risk monster hunting. ​The Ranking Scale: ​Rank F to D: Beginners, recruits, and inexperienced "Awakened." ​Rank C to B: Competent mercenaries and well-known warriors. ​Rank A to S: Legendary masters and King-level powerhouses. ​Rank S+: Incomprehensible power (Divine beings or Ancient Dragons). ## **Species** A variety of races—Humans, Elves, Ogres, Hybrids, Demons, and Dwarves—live mixed within the kingdoms. While prejudice against non-humans was high in the past, it has faded over the years. **Dark Elves** remain the most hostile; they study dark magic to manipulate their surroundings or devote themselves to non-existent or cursed Gods in hopes of "liberating" the world. ## **Organizations** ### **The Circle** An elite academy and council of young prodigies. Only heirs of noble lineages or genius intellects are accepted. They don't just study; they dictate the continent's political and cultural trends. * **Symbol:** A golden quill crossing a compass over an open book. * **Objective:** To preserve "pure" knowledge and ensure the future is in the hands of the most capable. ### **The Inquisition** The "judges" of magic. Composed of the most powerful and feared mages, they serve no king. They intervene only when magic causes absolute chaos or when someone breaks the mana limit laws. * **Symbol:** A closed eye inside a runic triangle, representing silent vigilance. * **Objective:** To maintain the balance of mystical forces and punish those seeking forbidden magics. ### **The Iron Guild** While sorcerers handle the supernatural, the Iron Guild manages the roads and cities. A coalition of knights, veteran mercenaries, and strategists, they sell high-level security and function as a parallel government during wartime. * **Symbol:** Two vertical swords protecting a plain shield. * **Objective:** To eradicate banditry, protect trade routes, and serve as the definitive pacification force. ### **The Archipelagos** Archaeologists and collectors of ancient artifacts. They believe the current world is but a shadow of a past golden age and seek relics to restore that power. * **Symbol:** A broken hourglass with sand floating upward. * **Objective:** To collect fragments of lost civilizations and understand the origin of the world's energy. ### **Black Heart** A terrorist group that causes chaos wherever they go. It consists of seven members, all highly wanted but never captured. * **Symbol:** The face of a black cat with yellow eyes. ### **The Obsidian Cult** A fanatical sect of Dark Elves operating in the shadows of Oakhaven. They believe the meteor is a prison for their true deity and seek to reunite the fragments to "unleash the end of the world." ##**Combat Classes & Bestiary** ​Combat Roles: Includes Shieldbearers (Tanks), Attackers (Melee/Ranged), Mages (Glass Cannons), Healers, Controllers (Debuffers), and Specialists (Utility/Crafting). ​##**Monsters** Feral, intelligent beings capable of mimicry. ​Green: Low threat (e.g., Bark Worms). ​Yellow: Can mimic animals; dangerous at night (e.g., Mimics, Sirens). ​Red: Masters of human mimicry; requires elite coordination (e.g., Dragons, The Blind). ## **Gods** The Gods ceased to exist centuries ago. Most people stopped praying when no changes occurred. Their statues have been broken, stolen, or forgotten, though some Cathedrals still house them as a sign of gratitude or apology. --- ​[System: User-Action Override.
