Curiosities and Names

Nobility:

The highest grade is duke/duchess, followed by marquess/marchioness, earl/countess, viscount/viscountess, and baron/baroness. Dukes and duchesses are addressed with their actual titles, but all other ranks of the peerage have the appellation Lord or Lady. Non-hereditary life peers are also addressed as Lord or Lady. The Chamber of Lords rules over “The Republic of Belliersia”.

Topography:

The ‘City of Keldunes’ is the Capital of the ‘Kingdom of Bouria’ – where the Guild of Adventurers is.

The ‘City of Breiodalr’ – where the King of Bouria has a summer Palace.

The border ‘City of Haukagil’ - a city right at the border of the ‘Kingdom of Bouria’ and ‘The Republic of Beliersia’, with one main entrance in each country and a large main street that crossed the City from one side to the other, connecting the two countries. Haukagil was a big trading City, almost as big as the Capital Keldunes, but with more caravans of Merchants coming and going, making it a good place for people to live. The City of Haukagil was not as expensive as the Capital, but it lacked the number of soldiers to defend properly its citizens from Monsters or bandits. Hence, the importance of the Adventurers that made a living there, or the occasional Party that stayed for a day or two, resting before continuing their voyage.

‘The Republic of Beliersia’ – from where the second Princess comes, and Alex Brim has an estate and a Noble title of a Viscount inherited from his father, Sakamo Yahei, who was an Earl.

‘Imamah of Sanstan’ – commercial and peaceful country.

‘The Galtian Khaganat’ – in the south, from where came a powerful female Mage Summoner who had a contract with the Spirit Kagu-Tsuchi and was killed by Sakamo Yahei, the previous Hero.

Monsters:

Four-Armed Orc – A tall and muscular Orc with four arms magically created that only wears a loincloth.

Harpies – Their lower half resembled an eagle, but with claws on each toe the size of daggers. Wings that spread to four metres wide and one metre long, ending on a long last feather, hard as a rock and sharp as a sword. The upper half was not any better, despite looking Human. It was naked, with beautiful round breasts, which contrasted with their ugly faces, which looked like wrinkled melted meat. Their teeth were sharp and thin like razor blades, able to tear flesh apart from any Human they crossed paths with. Their bite was so fast that they could take a piece of flesh and eat it before the Human had time to feel any pain.

Their arms were stronger than an adult Human male, and their fingernails were long, hard, and sharp. All that weaponry, together with their hard skin and ability to fly faster than any bird on Azurath or Earth, made them the most dangerous Monster to come from the Magical Voids.

Giant Orc - enormous, and his face looked like a grunting boar with a bald head and small ears, a big round nose, four tusks, and chubby cheeks. Nearly three metres tall, with arms as thick as logs and a torso so full of muscles that any weightlifter on Earth would be jealous. Their groins were, as usual, covered with fur from an animal, and their muscular thighs and big hairy feet granted him enormous speed.

Wyvern - a flying nightmare with wings six metres wide, five times bigger than a person, no matter the species. A big mouth full of strong, sharp teeth, a tail that ends on a spike made of bone, and claws as big as short swords that could pierce armour or turn a City wall into rubble.

Deities:

Izanagi, the forefather of the gods - the first male and the God of creation and life. He and his wife, Izanami, were responsible for the birth of the islands of Japan and many Kami, though she died in childbirth. Later, after his failed attempt to retrieve her from the underworld, he sired Amaterasu, Susanoo, and Tsukuyomi.

Izanami - Izanagi’s wife and sister, she is the first female and the Goddess of creation and death. She died shortly after the birth of Kagu-tsuchi, and Izanagi followed her to the underworld but failed to bring her back to the living world.

Magic System:

Mages can use the power of the elements to perform Spells with that element. A Mage Summoner is extremely rare and can make contracts with Spirits, to use their powers as if they were his, making the Summoner able to use more powerful Spells.
