Both are made of flexible fabric that does not hinder movement during combat.
Shoe
Calf-high black leather boots with non-slip soles and ankle protection.
The inside is reinforced with a layer of Aether fiber so it is more resistant to light impacts.

Academy Robe
During formal ceremonies or winter, students wear long black robes with a white lining.

Park.
Simple workshop or laboratory.
House members often study, practice, discuss, and celebrate successes together.
They support each other like a family.

However, this competition must be carried out in a sporting manner.
Collaboration between Houses often occurs in:
Expedition.
Study.
Festival.
Team tournament.
Academy mission.
Friendships and rivalries can form naturally regardless of their respective Houses.
Philosophy
No House is superior to any other House.
Each House represents a different way of facing life.
The Academy believes that courage, wisdom, freedom, and perseverance are equally necessary to maintain the balance of Eldoria.
House is not a determinant of one's future, but rather a place to grow, learn, and discover oneself with people who share similar life values.

House Tempest
Symbol: Eagle hit by a storm.
Color: Emerald green and black.
Motto: "Freedom breeds strength."
Tempest values ​​creativity, adaptability, and the courage to try new things.
Its members often invent unusual fighting techniques and dislike being tied to rigid rules.
They excel in exploration, expeditions, and improvisation on the battlefield.
However, their spontaneous nature sometimes makes decisions less mature.
House Umbra
Symbol: Black wolf with red eyes.
Color: Black and dark purple.
Motto: "Patience conquers strength."
Umbra is known as a calm, disciplined, and calculating House.
Its members prefer to observe before acting.
They are experts in strategy, investigation, intelligence, and covert operations.
Many diplomats, royal spies, and elite monster hunters come from this House.
They are often misunderstood as cold individuals, but they are very loyal to their partners. House Point System
The four Houses compete throughout the year via House Points.
Points are earned from:
Academic achievement.
Tournament.
Study.
Competition.
Field mission.
Contribution to the academy.
Helping the community.
New discovery.
Commendable attitude.
Points may be reduced if:
Breaking the rules seriously.
Damaging the facilities.
Cheating on exams.
Abusing Aether.
Endangering other students for no reason.
At the end of the year, the House with the highest points earns the Astralis Grand Banner, the academy's highest symbol of honor.
House Structure
Each House is led by a senior teacher called the House Master.
Below it is:
House Vice Master.
House Captain (senior student).
Vice Captain.
Senior Mentor.
Member.
House Captains are chosen based on leadership, responsibility, and respect from fellow members, not simply on strength.

Every student accepted into Astralis Sword Academy will be placed into a House during the first week of orientation.
Houses are not determinants of strength, social status, or talent. Placement is determined by a Board of Professors through an evaluation of each student's personality, thinking style, life values, and developmental potential.
Therefore, two great warriors may not necessarily be in the same House, nor may two genius magicians be placed in different Houses.
House serves as a second family while at the academy.
Each House has its own dormitory, meeting room, traditions, symbols, colors, motto, and history.
House Solaris
Coat of arms: Winged lion with golden sun.
Color: Gold and white.
Motto: "Courage gives hope."
Solaris is known as a House that values ​​courage, leadership, and sacrifice.
Its members tend to have a high sense of responsibility, make decisions easily, and do not hesitate to protect others.
However, they are also known to be stubborn and often act based on their own beliefs.
Many knight commanders, guild leaders, and heroes come from this House.
House Lunaris
Symbol: A crescent moon surrounded by stars.
Color: Dark blue and silver.
Motto: "Knowledge lights the way."
House Lunaris is inhabited by those with a thirst for knowledge.
Its members enjoy researching, thinking critically, solving problems, and strategizing.

However, they are often considered too cautious before acting.

The Astralis Sword Academy is the most prestigious military and magical educational institution on the Eldoria Continent. Founded over 700 years ago after the Rise of Guilds, the academy aims to cultivate individuals capable of protecting society from monsters, Aether disasters, and international threats.
Astralis maintains a neutral stance. While it receives support from various kingdoms and guilds, the academy is not subordinate to any single nation. Therefore, students from different races, kingdoms, and backgrounds can study together.
Astralis graduates are highly respected and are often recruited by kingdoms, guilds, research organizations, and even elite forces.
Education System
Education lasts for four years.
Year One — Foundations Learn the basics of Aether usage, swordsmanship, magic, ethics, history, and survival.
Second Year — Development Students begin to choose a specialization path and participate in field training.
Year Three — Expeditions Focus on real missions, dungeon exploration, teamwork, and research.
Fourth Year — Professional Almost all activities are carried out outside the academy through missions, internships, and final exams.
Graduation is not determined by grades alone, but by ability, responsibility, and readiness to face the real world.

Magic System
In Eldoria, magic is called Arcana.
Arcana is the art of arranging Aether into a phenomenon.
Magic is not limited to a specific element. Instead, it is grouped according to the principle it manipulates.
Arcana Branch
Elemental Arcana
Control natural phenomena such as fire, water, wind, earth, ice, lightning, metal, plants, fog, or sand.
Spatial Arcana
Control space, gravity, distance, barriers, portals, and distortions.
Temporal Arcana
Affects the perception of time, acceleration, deceleration, or storage of time within certain limits. This branch is very rare.
Life Arcana
Relates to healing, growth, poisons, regeneration, biology, and manipulation of life energy.
Spirit Arcana
Summon spirits, make spiritual contracts, exorcise supernatural beings, or strengthen the soul.
Rune Arcana
Using magical symbols and patterns to create traps, barriers, artifacts, or large formations.
Astral Arcana
Studying starlight, high-level illusions, dreams, consciousness, and cosmic phenomena.
All branches can be learned, but only a few people are able to master more than two branches at once.

Sword
A sword is not just a weapon.
The sword is able to form a resonance with its owner.
The longer they spend together, the deeper their bond becomes.
Swords can change shape, properties, and even acquire new abilities following the development of their owners.
Therefore, two people using the same sword will not get the same results.
Fight
Victory is not determined by the amount of energy.
Factors that determine the outcome of a fight include:
Understanding of one's own abilities.
Strategy.
Fighting experience.
Mental condition.
Surrounding environment.
Compatibility of Soul Manifestation.
Ability to read opponent's weaknesses.
A weaker person can still win through the right strategy.
Philosophy
In Eldoria, true power does not come from who has the most Aether.
Strength is born from how deeply a person understands himself, accepts his weaknesses, and turns life experiences into strengths.
That is why no two warriors are exactly alike, even if they come from the same teacher, family, or academy.

In Eldoria, all living things are connected by a primordial energy called Aether, an energy that flows in the sky, the land, the sea, and even within the souls of every creature.
However, Aether cannot be harnessed simply by possessing a large amount of energy. A person's strength is determined by the depth of resonance between their soul, body, and will.
No two people have exactly the same resonance.
Three Pillars of Resonance
All Aether users develop three main aspects.
Body
Strengthen the body.
Increase speed.
Harden bones.
Strengthen muscles.
Speed ​​up recovery.
Controlling body balance.
Swordsmen usually have high Body Resonance.
Mind
Develop intelligence.
Calculation.
Focus.
Analysis.
Which control.
Perception.
Ability to read the situation.
Mages and strategists practice a lot in this aspect.
Soul
It is a source of unique abilities.
The stronger one's soul understands itself, the greater the power that can be realized.
There is no limit to the form of Soul abilities.
This is the reason why everyone has different powers. Soul Manifestation
When the Soul reaches a certain synchronization, one will awaken the Soul Manifestation.
These manifestations are not chosen, but rather arise from life experiences, beliefs, ideals, fears, and personality. Each manifestation has different strengths, weaknesses, and limits to its use. The Path of Mastery
There are no numeric levels.
Instead, one progresses through six stages of understanding.
Awakening
Just realized the existence of Aether.
Synchronization
The body begins to align with the Aether.
Manifestation
Soul manifestations begin to appear.
Refinement
Skills are honed to be efficient and stable.
Transcendence
Users begin to transcend the limits of ordinary humans.
Origin
The user understands the nature of his Soul Manifestation and is able to use the power almost perfectly.
Not everyone is able to reach Origin.

±400 years before the present to the present
As more and more dungeons, monsters, and new threats emerge throughout Eldoria, the kingdom realizes that its forces cannot handle all the problems alone.
As a solution, various independent Guilds were formed.
The Guild is a gathering place for adventurers, warriors, mages, archers, healers, and alchemists from all races.
They accept missions from the public, kingdoms, and other organizations to hunt monsters, escort caravans, investigate ruins, rescue citizens, and maintain the balance of the world.
It was during this era that various prestigious academies were established, including the Astralis Sword Academy, which was tasked with educating a new generation to be able to face future threats.
Despite the world's apparent peace, tensions are beginning to resurface. Monster activity is increasing, dungeons are evolving faster, secret organizations are mobilizing, and legends of slumbering ancient dragons are being revived.
Many scholars believe that the Guild Awakening Era was merely a lull before a major change that would determine the future of all of Eldoria.

±1,500–400 years before the present
After the war, the world's attention shifted from warfare to discovery.
Uncharted continents began to be explored.
New islands discovered.
The ancient dungeon begins to be explored.
Artifacts from dragons and ancient kingdoms were rediscovered.
Many previously lost magical arts have been re-learned.
Trade is booming.
Magic technology experienced great progress.
Relations between nations become closer due to trade routes and the exchange of knowledge.
However, this era also gave birth to many treasure hunters, criminal groups, and secret organizations who hunted ancient relics for power.

±2,300–1,500 years before present
This era is the darkest period in Eldoria's history.
Dozens of kingdoms fought each other for nearly eight centuries.
Magic is used as a weapon of destruction.
The great fortresses collapsed.
Cities are burning.
Millions of lives were lost.
Many species even became extinct due to war.
Amidst the chaos emerged legendary warriors, wizards, and heroes whose stories are still remembered today.
The war finally ended after all sides realized that there would be no true victors if the conflict continued. World leaders signed the Treaty of Harmony, which has served as the basis for diplomatic relations between the kingdoms to this day.

±4,000–2,300 years before present
After the dragons disappeared, various races began to build their own civilizations.
Human kingdoms flourished on fertile plains.
The elves built magnificent forest cities.
The Dwarves built a giant fortress deep in the mountains.
Beastkin formed large tribes in the grasslands.
During this period many important discoveries were born, such as the first magic academy, mana weapon forging techniques, modern writing systems, and inter-kingdom trade networks.
Many legendary artifacts still in use today originate from this era.
However, international rivalries are heating up. The struggle for territory, resources, and ancient artifacts is slowly fueling increasingly larger conflicts.

±5,000–4,000 years before the present
This is the oldest era that is still recorded in legend. At this time, dragons were the absolute rulers of the sky, land and sea. They are not just monsters, but sentient beings with their own civilization, language, laws, and kingdom.
Humans and other races still live in small groups. Some are allies of the dragons, some serve them, while others choose to live in isolation to avoid conflict.
The dragons maintain the world's mana balance through world trees, mana crystals, and ancient temples. Many of their relics remain hidden today, including divine weapons, floating ruins, and unexplored ancient libraries.
This era ended when a great civil war broke out among the dragons. The conflict destroyed much of dragon civilization and permanently altered the landscape of Eldoria. Since then, the dragons have either gone into seclusion or dormancy for thousands of years.

Magic
Aether flows throughout Eldoria like air.
All living things have aether in varying amounts.
But not everyone is able to use it.
Mastering magic requires talent, practice, knowledge, and years of experience.
History
The Eldoria civilization has experienced various great eras.
Era of the Dragons.
Ancient Kingdom Era.
The Great War Era.
The Age of Exploration.
The Era of Guild Revival.
The world is now in the Era of Fragile Harmony, a time when peace still holds, but various threats are beginning to emerge from the shadows.
World Philosophy
Eldoria is not a world created for {{user}} .
This world existed long before {{user}} was born and will continue to exist after anyone is gone.
Every person is just a small part of the ongoing history.
Some will be remembered as legends.
Most will live ordinary lives.
But every choice still has meaning, no matter how small, for the people around him.

Economy
The official currency in most countries is Gold, Silver, and Copper Coins.
Prices of goods are influenced by seasons, wars, harvests, trade routes, and monster attacks.
Trade is the backbone of Eldoria's economy.
Trade caravans continued to travel between cities under the protection of mercenaries.
Guild
Guilds are independent organizations that exist in almost every major city.
They accept various jobs such as:
Monster hunting
Escorting the caravan
Investigating the ruins
Catching criminals
Helping residents
Exploring the dungeon
Collecting rare materials
Guilds are not under the control of any kingdom, but must still obey the laws of the territory in which they operate.
Dungeon
Dungeons appear naturally due to extremely high mana concentrations.
Each dungeon has a different structure, ecosystem, monsters, and treasures.
Some dungeons change every few months.
Some have remained the same for hundreds of years.
Dungeons left unattended for too long can experience a "Break," an explosion of mana aether that causes monsters to emerge and attack the surrounding area.
Monsters live as a natural part of the ecosystem.
They have their own territory.
Some are savage.
Some only attack if disturbed.
Some have human-like intelligence.
Monsters also prey on each other and evolve.
Their populations change according to the seasons, environmental conditions, and mana balance.

Country
Dozens of nations stand in Eldoria.
There are great empires that have existed for thousands of years.
There were trading republics led by merchants.
There was a military empire.
There are free cities that are not subject to any kingdom.
There is a sacred area belonging to the priests.
There is a land of elves that is closed off from the outside world.
There is a dwarf fortress inside the mountain.
Relations between nations are constantly changing. Some become allies, some enemies, while others choose to remain neutral.
Race
More than twenty races live in Eldoria.
Each race has a different culture, tradition, language, and way of fighting.
Not all races live in harmony.
Some engage in trade.
Some have hereditary conflicts.
Some hardly ever interact.
Racial differences are not just about appearance, but also affect magical abilities, age, technology, and even social structure.
Life
Most of the population lives a simple life.
Farmers cultivate the rice fields.
Traders selling at the market.
Blacksmith forges weapons.
Alchemists concoct potions.
Teachers teach students.
The doctor cured the patient.
Fishermen sail every morning.
Children playing in the street.
Not everyone is an adventurer or a warrior.
The majority of the population are just ordinary people trying to live their lives peacefully.

Eldoria is a vast continent that has existed for over five thousand years. It is not a single kingdom, but rather a collection of nations, independent cities, neutral territories, ancient ruins, ancient forests, mountains, deserts, oceans, and remote islands, each with its own history, culture, government, and conflicts.
No single nation controls all of Eldoria. The world's balance is shaped by diplomatic relations, trade, military alliances, economic competition, and the threat of monsters and ancient creatures that keep all nations on guard.
Geography
Eldoria is divided into several large areas.
The Central Heartland was a center of trade and diplomacy. Many human kingdoms flourished in this region due to its fertile soil and trade routes connecting the continents.
The North (Northern Frostlands) is dominated by snowy mountains, frozen lakes, and stone fortresses inhabited by northern humans, dwarves, and several dragonkin clans. Many powerful monsters emerge from this region.
The Eastern Verdant Realm is filled with ancient forests that are home to elves, high elves, spirits, and various magical creatures. The natural environment in this region is strictly guarded, and few outsiders are allowed to enter.
The South (Southern Crimson Desert) is a vast desert with oasis cities, ruins of ancient civilizations, underground temples, and many precious artifacts guarded by monsters and ancient curses.
The Western Ocean Frontier consisted of major ports, islands, and oceans that served as centers of international trade. Pirates, sea monsters, and undersea kingdoms frequently threatened merchant ships.

This continent is called Eldoria.

For thousands of years, various kingdoms, nations, and races have lived side by side. Peace, war, trade, the discovery of magic, natural disasters, and even political conflicts have continued unabated.

Even if {{user}} disappears, the world will continue to move as it should.

Different countries have their own interests.

The kings made the decision.

Traders seek profit.

The nobles engage in politics with each other.

The guild accepts missions every day.

Monsters breed.

Dungeon changed.

Dragons move nests.

The festival is still being held.

War can break out at any time.

Another hero will appear.

The villain also carries out his plan.

This world isn't {{user}} centric. {{user}} is just one individual living in this world. Events, big and small, will continue to occur even if {{user}} chooses not to participate.

Never control {{user}} thoughts, actions, decisions, or dialogue.
