RPG 0.5

Not everyone in the guild supported local laws and customs. And so, three members of the Guild whose origins have otherworldly roots: These three friends were transported to this world from their own and were deprived of all their magical abilities from their world, But their skills and abilities remained with them. In this world, they learned the skills and spells that suited them, after which they left the Guild to become independent. From now on they are called the Xous, which translates as "Cutthroats"/"Goons" from the ancient language.

Squad leader: Paladin. Real name: Rakron.
All three of the squad are dressed in simple guild knight uniforms with ruined guild signs, but each of them added something of their own. For example, Paladin drew a human skull with no lower jaw and elongated upper fangs on the back of his robe. He wields a single, two-handed sword with a black blade. He has the ability to move quickly, making him a good attacker.

Ratеye. Real name Kunda. To his guild member robe he added a half mask that conceals the lower part of his face and neck up to his nose. He is an archer and an excellent shot with any type of firearm. He carries two crossbows and a stack of arrows on his back.

Bigbrick. Real name John. The only difference from the standard Guild robe is the presence of a black bandana with a white axe on it. Their other distinctive feature is their large beard. He has a lot of explosive spells. He is burly man with arms like tree trunks. His weapons are... Fists. He mainly fights with magic.

They don't favor anyone, they don't hesitate to kill, and they will defend their hiding place very carefully.
Even though they move around the districts, they have a place where they live. No one knows where it is, but rumor has it that they live in places where a common person would simply die.

Union Leader: Raznar
Raznar is a dark elf who was the first to succumb to dark magic. He wears a black vest, underneath which he is bare-chested. Over the vest, he wears a black cloak with a red interior. Simple black pants. He wields dark elven magic, which he himself has refined and improved. He craves control of his settlement to "improve safety and quality of life," and he's not exactly lying. He is serious and cruel, but fair in a distorted way.

He created security units within the Union, they have black clothing with red elements, without armor, providing mobility and recognition. They are fully responsible to him.

Rokon is a general of soldiers of all units. He was appointed by Raznar himself. He is dressed in a simple soldier's uniform, but has special shoulder straps and a skull on his chest.

The Elder is an old woman with long sea-green hair. She puts faith above all else, she may seem kind and sympathetic, but when it comes to faith, she is the most serious of all. She has a daughter, Eliza, who is a nun in the Council of Faith.

Council of Faith: There are 7 elves in total.
Eliza is the elder's daughter and has inherited her hair color. She is about 167 cm tall and has curvy frame. most often dressed in the clothes of the Council nuns. Possesses a special elven water magic. quite shy, although she feels in the Council, she does not particularly faithful and desires freedom.

Ron is a hereditary member of the Council of Faith. He is completely immersed in the faith and has no other interests. He wears the standard male Council robe.

Marilyn somehow ended up on the Council. She's the least passionate about faith, and her nun's skirt is so short it barely covers her knees. She's criticized for this, but she's not particularly bothered. Nobody knows, but she only got there thanks to the corruption that lives somewhere in the depths of the settlement, and she was chosen by vote only because of this.

The other four members of the Council: Mai (female), Kail (male), Kayla and Kaida (two females) are nothing special.

Elder: An old Elf, he lived a very long time by Elven standards. looks like an old man, about 164 cm tall, with long gray hair and a gray beard down to his chest. He is dressed in standard white elven clothing, which he has apparently worn for a very long time. He is fair and honest, trying to do the best for his people. He asks everyone to call him simply "Elder." He has relatives, but they live in the Empire of Light.

Despite the fact that they consider the forest to be their territory as well, they have one main village. The main village of the Union is located on the mountain and in the mountain. They live partly in a cave, partly on a mountain above this cave. The architecture is intended to inspire grandeur and fear in all other elven settlements. In the center of the union's main village, in a cave, there is a huge house, somewhat reminiscent of a castle. The leader of this union lives inside.

The leader has absolute power over everyone in the union. They despise any manifestation of the Water Elves' faith.

They have a mutually negative attitude towards all other elves except the Settlement of Freedom. They are neutral towards them.

The elves live in complete control, which is both bad and allows for order and peace to be maintained within the Union.

They live on the shores of the Sea of a Thousand Tears. Their architecture is designed to withstand the unstable soils of the coast. They have a port where traders and travelers sometimes arrive. Their architecture is built along the shore, and the further from the shore, the higher their houses are on the hill. They feed mainly on fish and filter rain and sea water. Every elf in this village is taught water magic and faith from childhood.

Their belief is that the Sea of a Thousand Tears creates all life on earth and takes away all life on earth. They pray every Sunday, going knee-deep into the sea and standing there for 10 minutes while the elder reads the commandment.

They don't teach their water magic to passersby, but if you show yourself well and accept their faith, you will be taught.

They respect all sailors, considering them to be those who were able to tame the sea.

The laws are the most standard: Do not kill, do not steal, do not use dark magic, and so on. The decision on punishments is made by the Council of Faith and the Elder.

There's nothing much to say about them, considering they're just a cluster of tents, small gardens, and water collectors. There live a wide variety of elves who are accepted after escaping from prisons, considering that if you escaped from prison, then your village most likely will not accept you, considering that they are adapted to justice. You don't need much to get in: if you're an elf and escaped from prison, you're in. There are only 40 elves there, 19 women and 21 men. They live by the laws that the people will decide about any decisions in the settlement. They don't have an elder, only a founder who left the settlement long ago and left it to those who need it.

This village stands out for its size and architecture, which, although it has an older style, does not cease to be unique and beautiful. By entering along the most well-trodden path and walking a couple of dozen meters, you can reach this village. the path turns into a large road, on the sides of which are houses, two-story, simple, but all perfectly in line with the surroundings. At the end of the road there is a fountain from which local elves drink. The road goes around the fountain in a circle, diverging in three directions. The left and right roads are extensions of the village, and the road straight leads to the elder's house. Thus, the village has a certain shape of a cross.
On the sides of the elder's house there are fields where wheat and other crops grow.

There are no laws as such in the village, except for a ban on dark magic. If one resident does something that negatively impacts the surrounding area or another elf, then all involved on both sides are summoned to the elder, and the elder decides who to punish and who to forgive.

The village has a good attitude towards guests from other lands, but it is also quite strict, demanding a peaceful life without disturbing other residents.

The Elven Forest, while not an official kingdom, is not a neutral land. The Elven Forest is located between the Empire of Light and the Sea of a Thousand Tears. The Elven Forest itself is divided into villages, each ruled by a different elves.
Briefly about each elven village:
The Wood Elf Village is the largest village. Their lands can be found as soon as you enter the Forest itself. The most ordinary elves live inside; they use magic and are prohibited from casting any dark spells. This village is ruled by an Elder, who is usually the oldest Elf in the village.

Settlement of Freedom—It's a small cluster of tents and small buildings on the edge of the Forest. It's home to a variety of Elves—refugees who escape from prisons and hide there. They have no leader, no taboos, the only rule is to help each other. The rest of the Elven villages have a neutral position towards them.

The Water Elves, without a name for their village, live near the shore of the Sea. The Sea of a Thousand Tears is their sacred symbol, where they wash, swim, and drink from. The water, however, is crystal clear. According to the beliefs of the Water Elves, the Sea understands their needs and therefore purifies itself in response of their faith. These elves have a ban on dark magic, they have a positive attitude towards many elves, and they are also united under one elder, as well as the Council of Faith.

Dark Elves Union (DEU)—An alliance of elves who were labeled dark and sent away from their home villages. You become a dark elf if you used dark spells, and you can't hide it: When you use a dark spell, your eyes become a dark shade, which is unnatural for elves, and your skin becomes more gray. After that, you will either be executed or exiled. DEU is found in almost all unoccupied territories, because they believe that the forest is also theirs, and they have rights to unoccupied territories. They are united under a Leader who decides everything in the main settlement.

There's usually no space between kingdoms: the borders are right next to each other. But there are so-called "Neutral Lands." The people call them the Dead Lands. This is a land without fertile soil, the earth is scorched and black, and the territory is mostly roamed by scavengers and, very rarely, the resurrected dead who died on this land.
The Deadlands are quite vast, and in the thick of the dead forest of burnt trees, there is a passage in the mountain. A hike in the mountain leads to a cave, which then leads to a complex, labyrinth-like cave system. The labyrinth has not been explored by anyone, but if you navigate it correctly and don't get lost, you can reach a cave containing minerals.

The kingdom itself is a huge city, part of which is located on the plain and part goes up the mountain a little, creating excellent landscapes and views.
The kingdom is surrounded by walls, the gates are guarded. In this empire there is the main building of the guild called "Guild of Operational Assistance". This guild operates in the Empire of Light, but also in many neighboring states. The main building of the Guild is a two-story wooden building that stands on the main square of the empire. Inside there are tables and chairs, a bar counter, and a notice board. On the second floor there are rooms for the guild employees: barracks, places for temporary rest, a warehouse with equipment and the guild treasury.
Also, in the main square of the empire, not far from the guild, there is a tavern. This tavern serves the finest wine in the empire, recognized by many wine sommeliers as the best, which is why the prices in the tavern vary greatly - from a basic meal for 50 copper to a bottle of wine for 200 gold.

Outside the city, mansions are also sold: in the forest, on the banks of rivers, in fields in some populated areas.
