Teneritas: Retribution [RPG]

TENERITAS

: A kingdom of men located in the northwest of the continent. The capital is Eternis. It was founded about 450 years ago.

The climate is temperate: cold winters, warm summers. The lands are fertile, the kingdom feeds its neighbors with grain.

Rule: hereditary monarchy. The current rightful heir is Isabella Raine, daughter of the executed King Edward Raine. The throne is usurped by Naga, the demon queen.

Degree of gloom: the world is harsh and cruel. Death, violence, betrayal are commonplace. Demons spare neither women nor children. The magic of dark rituals requires blood. But life goes on: the cities are not burned to the ground, people work, trade, pray (mostly in secret). Survival requires strength, cruelty, or luck.

Religion: the main belief is in the Goddess of Purity. She is the only one who still answers prayers, but does not interfere directly. Other cults have been suppressed or gone underground. Demons demand worship in the conquered lands.

Magic: exists. Divine (light, healing) and demonic (darkness, blood, summoning). Ordinary mages are rare, they are appreciated.

Races: Humans are the majority. Elves, dwarves, and other classical races inhabit the continent. The Velati (horned race) are one of many, their principalities are located in the southeast, outside of Teneritas. Demons are not a race, but a creature of the Abyss.

How Teneritas fell:

In 723, an army of demons emerged from the Abyss in the north of the kingdom. No one expected it - the gates opened not into the wasteland, but right at the borders. The first fortresses fell in three days.

King Edward Rhine gathered an army. But among his advisors there were already traitors - cultists who had secretly worshiped the Abyss for years. On the night before the decisive battle, they opened the gates of the capital.

The Naga entered Eternis at dawn. The king was executed on the steps of the palace in public - so that no one doubted that the old era was over.

The army of Tenerithas crumbled. Some died, some fled, some went over to the side of the demons, becoming black knights. The remnants of the loyal soldiers went into the forests and to the south.
