Humanity in its early days struggled against the foundations of powerful civilizations that had been for centuries before them. It was only through the gift of magic that they were able to put their stake in the worId which became the first human city, Ithradine. From here they thrived until four tribes joined the infant kingdom each skilled in one of the four base magics, Pyromancy, Geomancy, Hyrdomancy, and lastly Aeromancy. These four 'families' became the main aristocracy and when the king died without an heir, he left in place a system to allow them all to keep power called the Magistrate. The Magistrate is led by a 'Magister' who is elected among the citizens however only the four families have ever gotten to have magisters. In this kingdom called Arcana, the four families, House Pyrane, House Oceanus, House Windel, and House Terra, keep a strained peace with the newest magister being Jerrick of House Pyrane. He leads Arcana on the path of war against the many monsters that lie beyond the ctiy's walls. Any adventurers are now given a guardian should they chose to leave the kingdom. You are one of many citizens within the kingdom, how will you make your mark upon it and the many races in and around it?
Welcome to the land of Arcane where the future is yours to shape whether in evil or good. In Acana, your character is entirely up to you however there is a few rules that I ask everyone follow:

There is no killing off another's character unless you both agree 2.1 In you get into combat with a story character (one that I create), I will allow some to be killed but only after serious fight 2.2 You cannot force another character to do anything 3. Character pictures are encouraged but keep it appropriate 4. Have Fun! Okay now for the character sheet:

JACK: The forge responds well, a fire quickly ignites within warming the entire room "I should have everything I need in my satchel but thanks anyway." She says focused solely on Orion "Eat this." She tells him, handing out a orange fern to which he displays disgust while he eats it "Should numb the pain for thid next bit..." She says as her hand fall on his chest "What next bit.." he manges to says before a muffled scream along with cracking bone. At this time all four of the guards return, their solemn faces looking troubled as they lay their collective findings on a table which include a silver-gold ring with a emblem of a mountain, a bone necklace with a red gem, and a shard of metal from the beas's hide. Finally one speaks "Sire, that ring belongs to the House of Terra. The necklace and metal are something we have never seen beforr. It might require someone with more knowledge." He morbidly mentions
Silver: Cisna slowly rises, brushing her dress down "Goodmorning Delroth, it was...good, just a few nightmares." she smiles seeing the fruit, even lets a small laugh loose "You even got my breakfast ready." She gently takes the fruit from you, taking the time to savor her bite. Her aura has only gottwn stronger over night and has reached a limit now that some of her strength has been returned to her
"The house of Terra? Those were Pyromancers out there, not Terramancers. Give me the necklace, I may have seen it before." I say with an outstretched hand. "Also I will need ye to calm the citizens and keep them safe while the officer is in need of attention."
JACK; The guard hands you the items, as you touch the necklace you can feel a faint dark energy emitting from it "We'll get right on that, Sir! Let's move out!" he says with a salute before him and the rest leave, closing the door behind them. The apprentice is solely focused on mending Orion's bones and muscles, occasionaly giving him something to eat otherwise she put a rag in his mouth to bite down on. On the necklace you see etchings in the bones, symbols that resemble letters stained black. The gem itself appears to be devoid of any defects a raw one might have, cut perfectly in a oval shape held by the same metal as the shard from the demon's body.
Silver: She shrugs as she watches you start the fire again "Shouldn't we get moving? I mean, what someone comes looking for the caravan?" she says with a bit of worry in her voice however it was still early dawn but the caravan missed its scheduled arrival date, someone was bound to find it and in force.
"Exactly," i say "i am starting the fire so i can leave it to burn, if someone finds it they will think we were here longer than we actually are." when i finish with the fire i head over to the horses and begin to pack one bed and all the food and water i can, i put some money from the merchant in each horses bag and put the rest in my pocket.
Silver: Cisna smiles "Clever. I like the way you think Delroth." she says and helps you with the food and water "That should last awhile. Maybe I could even get a sword.." she says hopefully, a little bit of excitement in her voice. She looks at you for a moment "So are we ready to go?" she speaks barely holding back her eagerness.
JACK: You struggle to read them at first but the more you look at them, the more you begin to understand until you finally are able to understand them and it reads "Lord of Death, grant me strength from my foes. I give my soul to thee."
(They world has but it was in man's early life. He is not a god, but he is powerful enough to challenge them so he was locked away in another plane of existence/dimension)
(So then the gods, and my characters father, would know about it, surely the god of justice would pass this, of all stories, down to his children to show the very extreme of injustice and evil. If not I shall change my response.)
(He would indeed, the Lord of Death was the first necormancer believed to have been able to raise legions of undead and create horrible abominations. Humanity by accident found the dimension nearly unleashing him but were lucky to seal the portal they had made. It became a crime punishable by death for any portal to be built, and all records of the incident burned ss dicatated hy the gods themselves.)
(Then a core law has been broken indeed.) "Medic can you spare some chalk, actually I can preform the right without any. I will need to step out for a few moments, will you be alright here?"
JACK: She does not stop working "Do not worry, I will be fine. Do what you need to do." she says quickly, her hands push on his ribs from the side which gets a strong response from Orion "There we go you big baby. Got your ribs in all the right places now. Time for the arms." she says quietly.
"We are, And i don't see why not." i say as i out another sword into the pack of her horse. i help her onto her horse and get on mine.
I begin to head away from the city the caravan was heading to.
