Princess Amalis Pendragon

The Kingdom of Eldaran is a land of dense, ancient forests and powerful magical academies, where Mana flows more intensely than anywhere else in Bathos. It is ruled by King Victor Pendragon, a direct descendant of the legendary King Arthur and wielder of the mythical Excalibur, eight hundred years after the original reign.
Eldaran is the nerve center of magical education in Bathos, home to numerous academies and arcane colleges where talented nobles and commoners alike can forge their destinies. The capital, New Camelot, stands as a bastion of magical tradition and progress, where the sword Excalibur gleams from the throne room as a living reminder of the legacy that protects these lands.
Although the crown strictly forbids discrimination, and it is publicly frowned upon, the nobility harbors deep-seated prejudices, acting with disdain toward commoners behind closed doors. A tangible gap exists in magical potential: the body's capacity to process energy and its maximum limits depend drastically on bloodline and specialized training, granting noble blood an innate advantage that few commoners can overcome, perpetuating a silent but ruthless power hierarchy within the academies themselves.

Kingdom of Eldaran
Capital: New Camelot.
Location: Bathos town center, surrounded by the ancient forests of Avalon Forest.

Victor Pendragon
Blonde with light reddish highlights, green eyes, fair skin, elegant blond beard with some reddish strands, he has a firm and determined character when the occasion warrants it but is kind at heart and a noble king.
SA: Hereditary Power (strength, speed, resilience, willpower, and Arthurian courage)
BotW: Shared Fortress: Grants extra courage, strength, and speed to all who fight for it
King of Eldaran and Head of the Pendragon line, Father of Richard and Amalis Pendragon, husband of Elizabeth Pendragon
Nationality: Eldraran
39 years old, 179cm
Bearer of Excalibur and Avalon
Base power: 6 million

Note: Excalibur grants strength and resilience, making it a powerful weapon that manifests its power according to the will of its wielder. Avalon (the sword's scabbard), on the other hand, grants absolute immunity to damage if the wielder proves worthy before it; it cannot be taken from its wielder unless they wish to surrender it, otherwise it is impossible to remove.

There is a persistent rumor associated with the Calamity of the Forest of Avalon.
A rumor that has never been confirmed.
Some indirect survivors claim to have seen an unknown girl among the trees of Avalon.
A young woman with skin as pale as a corpse.
Completely white hair.
White eyebrows.
White eyelashes.
And bright yellow eyes.
Dressed in simple rags.
Always silent.
Always observing.
The accounts differ regarding his behavior.
Some claim that it disappears when you get close.
Others say that it guides the lost back to the paths.
And a few believe that he is the one who leads the condemned into the depths.
Because of this, many inhabitants of Eldaran believe that there is a spirit linked to the White Death.
A specter born within the Forest of Avalon.
Others believe it is simply a hallucination brought on by fear.
To date, its existence has never been proven.

Rune Weaving Magic
The White Death employs an unknown system based on networks covered with complex runic patterns.
The recorded effects include:
Alteration of gravity.
Spatial manipulation.
Weight modification.
Changes in density.
Alteration of friction.
Automatic traps.
Barriers of abnormal resistance.
Portals.
Offensive networks capable of cutting or immobilizing.
This phenomenon bears no resemblance to any known magical system.
Many researchers consider it to be a completely independent discipline.

The White Death

Among the Twenty-One Named Beasts there is an anomaly that defies all explanation.
The White Death is the most recent of them all.
While the other Named Beasts appear in records from centuries or even millennia ago, this creature emerged only seventy years ago in the depths of the Forest of Avalon.
Since then, countless expeditions have attempted to discover its origin.
None of them returned.
Those who venture into Avalon seeking glory, riches, or the head of the beast disappear without a trace.
Only white nets remain suspended between the trees.
Familiar appearance
The true appearance of the White Death is that of an enormous arachnid creature.
Its body reaches approximately three meters in height, with long and unnaturally silent limbs.
Its exoskeleton is completely white.
It has no recognizable marks or patterns.
His most disturbing feature is his eyes.
Dozens of them.
Distributed throughout their head and body.
Small.
Immobile.
Shining with an intense, pure, and unnatural yellow color.
Unlike other Named Beasts, the White Death does not seem to act out of hunger or indiscriminate destruction.
Stay inside Avalon.
Ignore nearby settlements.
It shows no interest in expanding its territory.
However, it demonstrates absolute hostility towards those who venture into its deepest domains.
Especially against those who try to hunt him down.

Professor of Potions and Alchemy I and History of Magic at the MM Main Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she is one of the most beloved and respected teachers among her students. With a serene, kind, and slightly eccentric personality, she maintains a patient attitude even in the most chaotic situations. She possesses a subtle sense of humor and dry wit that often amuses her students. Although she can be strict when necessary, she never humiliates a student for making mistakes.
With long dark hair tied in a ponytail that she usually wears over her right shoulder, she also usually wears a small and elegant tiara of wildflowers most of the time, a woman who appears to be 28 years old, but nobody knows her exact age and she does not usually mention it.

Fay believes that learning magic isn't just about memorizing spells, but about understanding them. Therefore, she encourages curiosity, independent thinking, and questioning, dedicating time to answering even questions that fall outside the scope of her classes. Students often come to her for both academic and personal reasons, trusting her judgment and approachability.

She has an especially close relationship with Princess Amalis Pendragon, whose seemingly endless curiosity she finds fascinating rather than annoying. Fay patiently answers her questions, even when one turns into ten. She considers her curiosity a quality to be cultivated, not suppressed, and often encourages her to investigate on her own when an answer requires more than a simple explanation.

For the students, Fay Morgan is simply an excellent teacher, a supportive mentor, and, for some, an almost maternal figure.

No one within the academy knows any reason to think that behind that quiet teacher there is something more, a secret that no one could even imagine.

Elizabeth Pendragon is the Queen of Eldaran and wife of Victor Pendragon. She has long, ash-blonde hair, soft green eyes, and a serene expression that is difficult to disturb. She is 170 cm tall and maintains a simple elegance, far removed from the excessive ostentation typical of many noble courts.

Unlike Victor, whose presence inspires courage and authority, Eleanor exudes calm and approachability. She is patient, observant, and possesses an extraordinary ability to understand others before passing judgment. Although she rarely participates directly in military matters, she is considered one of the most influential voices in the kingdom due to her skill in mediating conflicts and finding solutions that others overlook.

As a mother, she was the one who managed to balance her children's strong personalities. She understands Richard's reserved and overprotective nature without forcing him to change, while nurturing and guiding Amalis's boundless curiosity instead of suppressing it. She is one of the few people capable of openly questioning Victor when she believes his decisions as king could harm his family or his people.

She's not known for grandiloquent speeches or displays of power, but those who know her say that Eldaran wouldn't be the same kingdom without her. Where Victor represents the strength of the throne, Eleanor represents the reason why that throne deserves to be protected.

Age: 37 years
Nationality: Eldaran
BotW: Oath of Home (while staying with your allies, it reduces the fear, exhaustion, and despair of those you consider part of your family)

Prince Richard Pendragon
Short blonde hair with a low ponytail at the back of her head that usually falls over her right shoulder in front, she has some reddish streaks in her hair, green eyes, fair skin, 174cm. 17 years old.
SA: Hereditary Power (Arthurian physical ability and swordsmanship)
BotW: First Encounter Evasion (allows you to avoid the first attack of any kind received the first time with absolute effectiveness, even unseen attacks and ambushes) Advent (allows you to avoid attacks you have already been targeted by, even if you haven't seen them; it's not absolute, but the body, endowed with enhanced reflexes, avoids them automatically)
Stoic, focused, protective of his sister, emotionally distant, not romantic with others. Overprotective of his sister. Kind and not presumptuous despite being a prince, although he spends most of his time worrying about protecting his sister, with obvious reason since she is too curious and ends up getting into trouble without realizing it.
Energy used: Aura
Nationality: Eldaran

Witches channel the magical energy of elemental spirits by establishing pacts (not contracts) with them, thus gaining access to their mana and spells without needing to master them themselves; pacts can be formed with a huge number of spirits, but each one has its own interests and level of difficulty in making them.

Blood Arts: Vampires possess mastery of blood-based skills known as Blood Arts.

The Rokaan are humanoid creatures, animals that possess humanoid characteristics but are still animals. The word comes from the ancient language of the Ancestral Dragons, extinct for more than 800 years in the Arthurian era. The word is not entirely correct but it is the closest to that pronunciation, which is interpreted as "those who walk upright." The number of species in this Race is very extensive.

Demihumans: descendants of Rokaan and Humans, most retain most of the racial characteristics and abilities of the Rokaan from which they originate, but a completely human body with the exception of animal ears or tails, from cats, wolves, foxes, horses, snakes, etc.

In Bathos there are several breeds that are categorized as:

• Major Races: humans, elves, dwarves (now extinct), demons, Rokaan, among others.

• Derived Races: Combinations of two or more races through generations, such as Demihumans, the Draconians of Vermillion, etc.

• Cursed Races: although they are not officially called that, this includes Vampires, Werewolves, Dark Elves and several others.

• Magical Creatures: This includes some creatures from the world, such as gnomes, goblins, orcs, and other intelligent creatures that do not constitute a society.

• Magical Beasts: Unlike Magical Creatures, these are literally Beasts, mostly monsters, wolves, enormous insects, reptiles, chimeras, dragons themselves, golems, slimes, plants, etc. They are primarily identified by being the only creatures that, upon death, always leave behind a Soul Crystal, which could be considered a kind of "core of life" and can be used for potions, alchemy, creating weapons and armor, and many other varied uses.

Elemental Spirits: creatures formed from the mana of the world, divided into Minor and Major/Absolute Spirits. The former are merely motes of elemental light, while the latter possess bodies of many shapes and sizes, as well as distinct personalities. The most well-known represent the supremacy of their element, such as Ramuh (lightning) and Ifrit (fire). They form Elemental Pacts with Sorcerers.

• Familiars: They come from the Familiar Plane and form Contracts. If one dies, they return to the Familiar Plane and, due to their power, always return in time. Contracts are irrevocable and only end if the Contractor dies. They have many forms and powers and are ruled by the four Familiar Kings: Kraval (horse), Genbu (turtle), Skarr (cat), and Bahamut (dragon). (Only Genbu speaks the human language.)

Nobody knows what category Ruby Carbuncles belong to; some sometimes leave crystals, others are summoned when called, they provide magical power, etc.

Elemental Affinity: determines which types of spells/techniques can be specialized in. They are divided into:

Primary/Secondary/Other Element/Use

-Fire/Attack/Attack/Defense

-Water/Attack/Healing/Defense

-Earth/Defense/Defense/Attack

-Lightning/Attack/Movement/Defense

-Wind/Movement/Attack/---

-Light/Healing/Healing/Attack

-Darkness/Attack/Manipulation/Defense

-Non-Elemental/Manipulation/Time/Space

Although the element of darkness is more natural in demons and other dark beings, it doesn't mean that some humans don't possess it or have an affinity for it, even though they avoid it due to its association with demons. While the dark element aids in Summoning, Illusion, and Attack magic, it has a wide variety of other uses. On the other hand, Non-Elemental Magic is more efficient in Time, Space, Alteration, and other magics, or in cavalry techniques for both attack and defense. Qi will always be the Light element (even without a Light affinity, this doesn't affect it), and if combined with another element, it will always count as a dual-element attack.

Magical Affinities can normally be polyphiles, but users usually only train their affinity element. There are those who train multiple, rare, and powerful cases where the mastery of the elemental variety is so great that they know an infinite number of spells within each branch, like Merlin once in the past or Morgana Le Fay herself in her time.

Note: This indicates the most favorable uses of each magical element, it does not define them, nor does it dictate the most favorable Magical School (Destruction, Healing, Illusion, Alchemy, Magical Creatures, Invocation, Runes, among many others).

The Circles are the way in which magical level is measured; these are not characterized by the level or amount of mana of an individual but by the control over the elemental school of magic in question, for example:
Fire:
First Circle:
Sparks.
Small fireballs.
Second:
Continuous projectiles.
Moderate explosions.
Third:
Flames.
Igneous barriers.
Room:
Massive explosions.
Fifth:
Firestorms.
Sixth:
Thermal alteration of the environment.
Seventh:
Fiery waves that travel for kilometers.
Eighth:
Strategic incineration.
Ninth:
Extreme manipulation of heat.
Tenth:
Plasma.
"Fire that ceases to look like fire."
And the important thing:
Moving from the First to the Second Circle can take years.
From the Sixth to the Seventh can take decades.
Going from the Ninth to the Tenth can take a lifetime.

These are just examples; each Circle obviously has a wide variety of spells available and also depends on each element.
It doesn't just matter how much energy you have.
It matters how much you understand about it.
And that makes it possible for an old man from the Fourth Circle to defeat a young man with much more mana but less experience, while reaching the Tenth Circle ceases to be an expectation and becomes something the world considers almost mythical.

On the continent of Bathos, the main energies are as follows.

Regarding Mana/Aura: Mana is the energy used by Mages for their spells; it comes from the environment and each mage's mana core. Aura is the vital energy of Knights, which replaces mana. Magic Knights can accumulate both, but it's not very common. Their versatility makes them formidable enemies, although they don't achieve the Aura/Mana levels of an expert Knight/Mage and can't use such powerful spells. This duality opens up many opportunities in a fight. On the other hand, monks and some others have developed the use of Qi through cultivation and meditation. Qi is an internal energy that can be used in various ways to enhance their body, weapons, attacks, and various other advantages.
The base power of a commoner is between 10 and 40 without training, while for a noble it is between 120 and 500 without training. Some special cases are exceptional, and many receive training from a young age. Demons, however, are not only more powerful from birth, but they also have a harsher life, so their power level ranges from 5,000 to 10,000, while noble demons range from 30,000 to 250,000, and some are much higher, even without having received any training beyond their harsh daily lives.
Individuals with training can develop a level thousands of times higher in some cases.

New Camelot: Capital of the Kingdom of Eldaran and the heart of magical education in Bathos. Built around Castle Pendragon and surrounded by ancient, mana-charged forests, it houses some of the most prestigious academies, libraries, and research centers on the continent. Castle Pendragon sits at the heart of the city and is the residence of King Victor Pendragon, where Excalibur is also kept when not wielded by the monarch. Surrounding the castle is the Noble District, home to the kingdom's most influential aristocratic families, followed by the Academic District, which includes the Main MM Academy of Sorcery (Merlin and Morgana), the Arcane Library of Avalon, and the Arcane Hospital of Nimue. Beyond that lies the Commercial District, renowned for its shops selling grimoires, magical catalysts, artifacts, alchemy supplies, and enchanting materials. Also located here is the Hall of Camelot Legends, a crown-run museum and historical archive housing relics, documents, and artifacts related to King Arthur, Merlin, Morgana, and the Knights of the Round Table. Most of the population lives in the outer districts, where artisans, merchants, civil servants, and students reside. Although discrimination is outlawed by the crown, prejudice between nobles and commoners still exists discreetly. In New Camelot, social prestige is often tied to magical talent, academic achievements, and family lineage. Just outside the city lies the Forest of Avalon, a vast region used for magical training, exploration, and research, where ancient ruins and magical beasts, drawn by the high concentration of mana, still roam.

  At 27, her base power is 9 million. She dedicates herself to research and is known as the wisest person after Merlin; some consider her his direct reincarnation, the union of two legendary figures: the lineage of King Arthur and the wisdom of the sage Merlin. She even masters the Tenth Circle in Light, Earth, Wind, and Water—three circles less than Merlin, but far more than anyone else, as many take decades to reach the Tenth Circle in a single branch. She rarely fights, preferring to ask questions.
