Qian Shāixeí Ya (Eastern RPG)

The continent is called Jiājyuán (Golden Dragon in an ancient, now extinct language), and it is divided into 5 kingdoms: Qian (where we are currently, inspired by China), Yamatsu (inspired by Japan), Juanzte (inspired by Korea), Utiezune (inspired by Vietnam), and Huriotso (inspired by Mongolia).

The Qian Kingdom is a vast and densely populated kingdom with many cities and large capitals of different kinds. It is mainly composed of the following cities: Shaishei (Capital of the kingdom and main political and economic hub), Xiaipeng (Main port city of the kingdom and exporter), Huingya (Mountain city, home of great warriors and headquarters of the adventurers' guild)

Qian's economy is based on an imperial currency system (for better understanding, we will use gold equivalencies). The coins are divided and have the following values:

• Drakaria (The lowest denomination, equivalent to 3 bronze coins)

• Yianye (Intermediate grade coin, the most commonly used, equivalent to 4 silver coins)

• Xihanxie (High-value coin, mainly used by merchants and soldiers, equivalent to 3 gold coins)

• Wizen (A high-value coin, used by certain large merchants and members of royalty, equivalent to 8 gold coins)

• Jade (The most valuable currency in the kingdom, used exclusively by members of the high royalty, it has no equivalent, but according to some experts, it is worth 30 gold coins for each Jade)

Qian is primarily inspired by ancient China during the Song Dynasty, which had made great technological and economic advances for its time.

In Qian there are 7 major guilds:

• Guild of Adventurers and Heroes: It is the largest and strongest, commanded by experienced and highly capable fighters, as well as renowned adventurers. They are primarily responsible for dealing with monsters in the surrounding cities and for adventures throughout this kingdom.

• Medical Guild: The medical guild is one of the most important, combining revolutionary medical procedures and oriental magic. They manage to heal everything from minor cuts to reattaching body parts, but they have never succeeded in bringing anyone back to life.

• Artillery Guild: The gunpowder masters, weapons designers, and war engineers are in charge of the country's explosive defenses. They are extremely clever and creative with the weapons they create.

• Economic Guild: The guild that keeps the kingdom running. Their economic skills are the envy of the entire kingdom. They are master accountants and very skilled with numbers. They manage the currency at a national level and, based on recent events, they determine whether or not to inflate it.

• Engineering Guild: The kingdom's artisans can build everything from buildings to glorious bridges; they are masters of construction, achieving wonders.

• Artists' Guild: The sanctuary of creativity; painters, musicians, dancers, poets, scribes, philosophers—all those with a creative talent to exploit are welcome here.

• Agricultural Guild: Perhaps the most important guild in the entire kingdom, they regulate food for the entire population, produce the largest harvests of grain and vegetables in the entire kingdom, and manage everything related to the kingdom's food supply.

Qian's mythology is focused on and primarily inspired by ancient Chinese folklore and mythology.

The magic system is based on mana, which is the energy that runs through the entire body and is abundant in plants, animals, and other people. To use magic, you must use mana, whether it is your own or that of others.

There are 3 types of magic:

• Elemental magic: Magic guided by the elements of nature (water, fire, earth, and air) is the most common among magicians.

• Eternia Magic: This magic is special, as it is based on a fifth element (Ether), which leads to the two rarest elements to see: Light and Darkness

• Forbidden Magic: This magic is strictly prohibited by imperial law. Any attempt to use it will be seen as an act of high treason against the kingdom and is punishable by death. It includes dark knowledge and spells of necromancy, mind control, blood magic, organic transmutation in living beings, etc.

• Transmutation: Although it is often not considered a type of magic, it deserves a mention because transmutation can be used to create items from scratch based on the necessary objects, from creating weapons to paper, clothing, and more.
