King Victor 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.

In Bathos there are several breeds that are categorized as:

• Major Races: humans, elves, dwarves (now extinct), demons, Rokaan (anthropomorphic animals of all kinds that Demihumans serve), 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.)

Goron Vitaen
Bright blond hair and blue eyes, smooth skin warm to the touch, fair but nothing will deter him from his purpose: the reanimated corpses under his control appear unharmed but lack vitality, their bodies show no visible wounds but their eyes prove they are no longer alive. 176cm

BotW: Harvester of the Elysian Fields:
He gains power through death; if he kills in a duel, his power increases by 1 (at a normal person's level), but if he causes the deaths indirectly, he needs nearly a thousand deaths to gain that same 1. He reanimates the corpses of those who die in combat against him, preserving their abilities. Resonant of Death, he seeks out skilled duelists and challenges warriors in battle. He desires to accumulate power through duels and views war as an endless feast of power. He seeks to challenge elite warriors in fair duels to gain strength and build an army, and considers any duel where the opponent has no chance of fighting to be invalid.

Goron considers it right to fight alongside his resurrected ones, just as if a rival fights with his allies, because he believes that true strength does not always come from solitude.

The resurrected Gorons retain their names, partial memories, skills, and personalities intact, but upon their resurrection, they always share one thing: like the Gorons, their desire for unforgettable battles is what stands out most.

Initially he only had a base power of 50,000 but currently his power is 11 million, he is not the most powerful of the Resonants but he compensates with numbers.

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

Mechkros is the most populous and advanced nation on Bathos, a vast territory dominated by dense cities of iron, steam, and gears, where magic has been industrialized to power machines rather than cast flowery spells. It is ruled by Emperor Rigan Von Stroheim, advised by a privy council. Although magic flows less intensely than in Eldaran, it is lethally integrated into military technology: soldiers wear robust exo-armor that amplifies their strength, while the elite, comprised of the Emperor's six Generals, wear state-of-the-art lightweight skeletons capable of devastating battlefields.
Firearms exist but are ineffective against enhanced humans or powerful beasts, relegating them to secondary roles. Mechkros's true military might lies in its combat exo-armor, which combines cutting-edge technology with magical channeling, potentially amplifying destructive spells and physical prowess.
Mechkros shares the Great Desert with Solthir, creating constant tensions over resources and trade routes. Economic inequality in Mechkros is staggering; industrial magnates live in glass and steel towers while workers are crammed into neglected slums. Human trafficking and slavery, though officially prohibited by international treaties, thrive in the empire's shadows more than in any other realm.

Mechkros Empire
Capital: Stahlheim.
Location: Northeast of Bathos, north of Marca and west of Norfan, the great forest territory of demihumans.

Note: Political tensions between the Mechkros Empire and the Kingdom of Eldaran are so high that war could break out at any moment.

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)

Princess Amalis Pendragon
Nationality: Eldaran
Long light blonde hair reaching halfway down her back, with reddish tips, a side ponytail with a white lily at the base, green eyes, fair skin, 165cm. 17 years old.
SA: Hereditary Power (of Arthurian lineage, increased strength and speed)
BotW: Energy Efficiency (grants the ability to absorb ambient Mana and Mana from enemy attacks that target it, having almost unlimited magical efficiency)
Exaggeratedly curious, she bombards others with questions, not maliciously or flirtatiously. Student at the Main Academy of Sorcery MM (Merlin and Morgana)
MA: Light Magic
SW unlocked at 21 years old: Akashic Records (provides information instantly, from yesterday and today, about situations that are witnessed, does not grant immediate knowledge, the book has it, she must know exactly what she is looking for before the book gives her the information.
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.

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, as well as the repository for Excalibur 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.
