Kingdom of Asterion Valdaris Empire Lunareth Confederation Kharkiv Domain

A prosperous kingdom built upon ancient enchanted plains, Asterion is renowned for its luminous magic, practiced by the Order of the Astra, who channel the energy of the stars. Its inhabitants are primarily humans and half-elves, celebrated for their discipline and magical education. Asterion is distinguished by its white, crystalline architecture, astral temples, and ancient libraries. While they may not possess the greatest military strength, their mastery of healing spells, barriers, and light magic makes them the essential backbone of the continent. Their capital, Luminar, is considered the spiritual heart of the world. Asterion is the epitome of peace: they avoid conflict and always act as mediators between other kingdoms.

A mighty empire forged in vast volcanic lands and dark mountains, Valdaris is known for its formidable military might and mastery of black steel, a near-indestructible metal that only they know how to forge. Its inhabitants are mostly humans, draconians, and clan-born warriors, hardened by the harsh climate. They lack light magic, but compensate with fire sorcery and ancient martial rituals. Their capital, Dravakar, is a massive fortress surrounded by obsidian walls. Valdaris frequently clashes with other kingdoms due to its territorial ambitions and is considered the most feared military power on the continent.

A vast territory comprised of frozen tundras, shadowy forests, and fortresses carved directly into the rock, Kharvok is home to orcs, frost giants, and mountain humans, all bound by ancient tribal laws. They are not known for magic, but they possess unparalleled physical strength and a tradition of rune-forging that imbues weapons and armor with symbols of resilience and fury. Their capital, Grumhold, is a fortress city partially buried in the mountain and protected by walls. Though considered barbarians by many, Kharvok is an honorable kingdom that values ​​loyalty and fair combat. Their geographic isolation keeps them largely out of conflict, but when threatened, their response is devastating.

A collection of city-states bound by lunar pacts and ancient arcane traditions, Lunareth is renowned for its mastery of illusion magic, dreams, and mind manipulation—skills honed through centuries of nocturnal study. Its inhabitants are primarily moon elves, wandering sorcerers, and nomadic races attuned to the celestial cycles. Lunareth's technology is limited, but its magical knowledge is profound and mysterious. Its capital, Nyxoria, is built upon mirrored lakes that reflect an ever-bright moon. Though they rarely engage in open warfare, their silent influence is felt throughout the continent, for their pacts and prophecies guide the destinies of many.

Kingdom of Eldoria (Under Asterion): A small, peaceful kingdom dedicated to agriculture and basic trade. Its cities are home to modest adventurers' guilds and minor academies of light magic, influenced by Asterion. Its inhabitants are primarily young humans and elves. It is a stable and tranquil territory, ideal as a starting point for novice travelers.

Kingdom of Solmora (Lower Valdaris): A hot, arid kingdom near the volcanic borders of the Valdaris Empire. Known for its bustling markets, caravans, and mercenary guilds. Its adventurers often train in martial arts and light fire magic. Although under Valdaris rule, they seek to maintain a degree of autonomy in trade.

Kingdom of Runetal (Lower Lunareth): A forested region linked to the Lunareth Confederation, Runetal is renowned for its peaceful villages, dreamlike forests, and small guilds of alchemists and explorers. Its inhabitants are skilled in basic illusion magic and herbalism. It is a low-key kingdom, focused on scholarship and natural trade.

Miryhka Archipelago (Independent): A collection of tropical islands and free ports. They belong to no larger kingdom. Miryhka is a hub for travelers, pirates, merchants, and wandering adventurers. Its guilds are diverse: navigation, fishing, sea monster hunting, and maritime trade. It is a neutral point where all kingdoms converge.

Kingdom of Vorhal (Lower Kharkiv): A cold, mountainous kingdom near the Domain of Kharvok. Its inhabitants are resilient and hardworking, dedicated to mining and light forging. Vorhal's guilds focus on explorers, hunters, and blacksmiths. Although they rely on Kharvok for protection, they maintain their own peaceful culture.

Mages are organized into a system of Orders that determines their strength, knowledge, control, and rank. The complete hierarchy ranges from 1st to 10th Order.

1st to 3rd Order: Beginner mages. They learn basic mana control, channeling, simple spells, and elemental theory. They usually belong to minor academies or serve as apprentices.

4th and 5th Order: Already trained mages. They are proficient in moderate offensive and defensive spells, minor rituals, barriers, and stable channeling. They can be basic instructors, magical explorers, or members of guilds.

6th and 7th Order: Senior Mages. Capable of performing advanced magic, complex rituals, permanent enchantments, and high-level elemental manipulation. They are eligible for research positions, academy leadership, and diplomatic roles.

8th and 9th Order: The magical elite. They control profound arcane techniques, large-scale magic, master invocations, portals, and spells that alter matter or energy. Only mages of this caliber can be official candidates for membership in the Arcane Hand.

10th Order: Pinnacle of power. Each kingdom can only have five mages of this Order. They are political, military, and spiritual figures. Their magic can affect entire regions, manipulate catastrophes, and break natural boundaries.

The Arcane Hand: This is the group of the five most powerful mages in the world, regardless of their realm. They represent the highest arcane authority. A mage of the 8th, 9th, or 10th Order can be elected to a vacant position. Alternatively, a place can be claimed through a ritual duel, where defeating a member allows one to take their position.

The results of a promotion can be divided into three categories: Approved, Deferred, or Rejected. Each result determines the mage's immediate future within the academies and the kingdom's magic system.

Approved: The mage officially ascends to the new Order. They are given a personal arcane seal certifying their rank, their study permits and access to advanced libraries are updated, and they can apply for positions commensurate with their rank. Mages of the 8th and 9th Orders may be registered as candidates for a position in the Arcane Hand should a vacancy arise.

Postponed: The magician is determined to possess potential, but their execution was inconsistent, risky, or incomplete. They may try again after a minimum of six months of mandatory training under the supervision of specialized instructors. During this time, they receive tasks that strengthen their control or knowledge according to their identified weakness.

Refused: This occurs when the aspirant loses control of their mana, becomes unconscious too soon, makes critical errors, or exhibits dangerous behavior. The aspirant must wait a full year before attempting to advance again and must also undergo corrective training. In extreme cases, they are forbidden from attempting to rise beyond their current Order.

Promotion to 10th Order: Only 9th Order mages who have demonstrated absolute excellence are permitted to reach this rank. In addition to the standard examination, they must master a second element, understand dimensional theory, and perform a major ritual overseen by the kingdom's council. Since each kingdom can only have five 10th Order mages, promotion is only possible if:

1. One of the five resigns.
2. One dies or disappears.
3. He is defeated in a duel by a challenger who claims his position.

A mage's ascent to a higher Order follows a strict process divided into three mandatory phases: the Mana Sphere, the Written Examination, and, from the 6th Order onwards, a supervised duel against a 10th Order mage from the same kingdom.

The Sphere of Mana: An ancient artifact capable of measuring an individual's magical potential. When the mage places their hands upon it, the sphere analyzes mana quantity, control, stability, and elemental affinity. The internal energy glows in specific colors that reveal the nature of the mana, and then emits glowing rings that indicate the user's overall power. The number of rings does not determine the final Order, but it establishes the rank they can attempt to achieve in that assessment.

Written examination: This exam assesses the mage's theoretical understanding. It evaluates mana anatomy, safe manipulation, magical laws, rituals, arcane history, and the resolution of critical scenarios. To pass, candidates must demonstrate intellectual mastery appropriate to the requested Order. Serious errors related to forbidden spells or dangerous seals will automatically disqualify the candidate.

Ascent Duel (6th Order and above only): The applicant must face a 10th Order mage who will restrict their strength but not their technique. The goal is not to win, but to demonstrate resilience, emotional control, tactical thinking, and efficient mana management under pressure. The duel takes place in coliseums reinforced with disaster-proof seals. Three examiners observe the combat and decide whether the candidate is promoted, their promotion is postponed, or they are rejected.

Duels to claim a place within the Arcane Hand are the most dangerous and regulated magical events in the world. They take place only in Arenas of Convergence, spaces protected by layers of seals sized to contain catastrophic-level magic.

Rules of the Usurpation Duel:

1. The challenger must be of 8th, 9th or 10th Order. Lower orders are not accepted.
2. The duel cannot be refused by the member of the Arcane Hand, as their power must be tested periodically to maintain the legitimacy of the position.
3. Receiving outside help is prohibited. Any intervention will invalidate the duel and condemn the challenger.
4. Victory only occurs if the member of the Arcane Hand is unable to continue, loses consciousness, or voluntarily admits defeat.
5. Deaths during mourning are not punishable by law; the risk is accepted at the outset.

Safety in Duels: The arenas are equipped with seals that absorb massive arcane discharges, diverting excess magic to neutral planes. There are also barriers that prevent environmental destruction or impact on the audience. Without these protections, a duel between mages of this scale could devastate entire cities.

Consequences: If the challenger loses, there is no legal obligation to protect them. They may be seriously injured, lose their magical abilities, be reduced to ashes, or even disintegrated. They survive only if the member of the Arcane Hand decides to hold back their final attack.

Rank Symbols: Each wizard receives an emblem:

• Orders 1 to 3: Copper, with a simple circle.
• Orders 4 and 5: Silver, with double engraved line.
• Orders 6 and 7: Gold, with embedded runes.
• Orders 8 and 9: Platinum, with personal elemental symbol.
• 10th Order: Emblem of Arcane Crystal, unique and indestructible.

Range Functions: The higher the Order, the greater the responsibilities: advanced instruction, protection of realms, arcane research, and supervision of dangerous rituals.

A group of the five most powerful wizards in the world, recognized by all the kingdoms. Although they do not form a political council, their influence and magical mastery are unparalleled.

1. Arvellon, the Infinite (Kingdom of Lunareth) Specialization: All known magics, but its core is pure Arcane Magic. Description: Considered the greatest sorcerer in history. He masters every existing branch of magic, from light and fire to illusions, seals, spirits, and ancient magic. No one knows his age: some believe he existed before the founding of the kingdoms. His power is so vast that even other sages avoid him out of respect.

2. Serah Umbrafell (Kingdom of Valdaris) Specialization: Shadow Magic. Description: A sorceress shrouded in living darkness. She controls shadows, night prayers, dark duplicates, and spectral torments. Her magic is feared throughout the realms. It is said that she can move through shadows like a whisper, and that she never sleeps.

3. Morgran Eirvall (Kharvok Domain) Specialization: Necromancy Magic. Description: Absolute master of life and death. He is not a tyrant, but a scholar obsessed with the balance between the two realms. He can raise armies of skeletons, restore bodies, or speak with ancient souls. He lives in seclusion in an eternal fortress carved from ice.

4. Lysindra Velmire (Asterion Kingdom) Specialization: Supreme Healing Magic and Manipulation of Vital Mana. Description: Considered the greatest healer in the world. She can rebuild bodies, purify ancient curses, and alter the life force of plants, animals, and people. Her magic is so pure that simply watching her in action brings profound calm.

5. Kael Straythorn (Miryhka Archipelago) Specialization: Tempest Magic — control of weather, seas and storms. Description: A wandering mage capable of summoning colossal storms, calming seas, and unleashing lightning from clear skies. His connection to the ocean is absolute. He is also a professor at the finest academy.

The Grand Institute of Supreme Magic is the most prestigious academy in the world. It is located in the Asterion Archipelago, a group of islands protected by ancient barriers and a high concentration of pure mana. Entry is only possible through an Anchor Portal guarded by the institute's arcanists.

The Arcanum is divided into six specialized towers:

• Tower of the Inner Flame: elemental magic.
• Tower of the Veil: illusions, mental manipulation, and arcane perception.
• Tower of the Deep Root: druidism, magical beasts and natural alchemy.
• Tower of the Broken Horizon: space, time and dimensional distortion.
• Tower of Serene Darkness: shadows, forbidden runes and forgotten magic.
• Core Tower: center of the campus, living library and headquarters of the Council of Archmages.

Applicants must undergo tests that vary according to their magical affinity. These tests reveal their true potential. Most fail before even crossing the first threshold. Those who are accepted must live under strict discipline and constant training.

Kael, a member of the Arcane Hand, is the head instructor at the Tower of the Shattered Horizon. He is an absolute expert in spatial manipulation, portals, and dimensional combat. His classes are harsh and dangerous, but those who manage to survive become elite mages.

The Arcanum is the center of the world's magical knowledge. Nearly every great wizard, hero, and royal advisor has passed through here. It is also where anomalies, extradimensional creatures, and ancient seals that maintain the world's balance are investigated.
