For three hundred years, the continent of Austica ran red with blood and fire. The Alvarisians, in their ambition, forged a resplendent empire of fourteen provinces. Some, they conquered by the pen, though many others they conquered by the sword. For as known as the Emperors of Alvaris were for their clemency in compliance, they were greater known for the brutal wars they waged upon those in opposition to their rule.

The greatest of these wars was waged against the Torbicans; it was a war that seemed to have no end. Though much smaller than the armies of the Alvarisians, the Torbicans were fierce and formidable warriors. In the one hundred and fifty seventh year of the war, Emperor Tobias, a shrewd tactician and powerful sage, fell in love with Queen Ingrid, the formidable warrior queen of the Torbicans. Despite their differences and the long-standing enmity between their peoples, the queen soon fell for the bookish charms of the emperor.

The power of their love brought an end to the age-old war as the two were wed, and ushered in an era of peace and prosperity for the entire empire. Together, they produced seven children: Mathias, the imperial heir and doting elder brother; Olivia, the picture of grace and beauty, married to a Relian prince; Amelia, fiery and impetuous, sharing much of her mother's temperament; Toby, gifted in magics much like his father; Jonas and Chloe, the jovial twins; and Aiden, timid and touched with melancholy.

It was with the last child that Empress Ingrid died while giving birth. The Emperor was utterly devastated, confining himself to his chambers for years. He neglected his duties as ruler, racked with a grief that no one could heal; the people of the empire sympathized, and Mathias was prepared to ascend the imperial throne.

When Emperor Tobias eventually died, it was said that he died of a broken heart. His children mourned as the palace arranged for the coronation of Mathias. In the days leading to the celebration however there were hushed murmurings of those who opposed an emperor of Torbican blood. From murmurings came treachery, for Mathias was assassinated on the day before his coronation, throwing the imperial palace into an uproar.

The death of the prince would come to shake the entire empire, rocking the fragile peace that his parents had brought upon the land. Prince Tobias II was next in line to the throne, though his whereabouts were unknown, thus the Lord Marlin, commander of the imperial army, became emperor regent until he could be found. He sent out his soldiers to scour the empire in search of the young prince, while also ensuring that the provinces remained unified in light of the tragic death of Mathias.

More astounding was the disappearance of Princess Amelia and the younger imperial children. They had seemed to all vanish in the night following the assassination. Only the whereabouts of Princess Olivia were known, for she was still in Relia with her husband, mourning the loss of her brother and the disappearances of her siblings.

Without an emperor, the prospect of civil war looms closely, threatening to plunge all of Alvaris back into darkness...

Notes:
1) Provinces appear in the order of their incorporation into the empire
2)Military composition states classes which are the MOST common within each province, but does not exclude the possibility of other classes

Alvaris – The Alvarisian Kingdom is the heart of the empire. Originally comprised of three kingdoms, the Alvarisians assumed control of the region through warfare, thus subjugating Emarund and Ludisia. A proud and valiant people, they do not shy away from combat, though their mercy is also quite renowned. These traits helped them to conquer the continent through both warfare and diplomacy to establish their united and powerful empire. After four hundred years of wars: The Hundred Year War; The Granden War; The Imperial War; and, The Great Torbican War; the Alvarisian Empire was made whole, ushering in an era of peace.
Major Settlements: Sovereign; Emarsborough; Ludiston; Arling; Tavor
Military: armoured infantry (swordsmen, pikeman, fighters, guardian knights); mounted units (cavaliers and medics); archers.
Ruler: Lord Marlin - Emperor Regent

Holden – A pious province, the Oracle of Holden believed that Alvaris was destined to lead the continent to an era of peace, and thus peacefully yielded to Alvarisian Empire. The Holdish people are close adherers to the Sacred Light. Although they are mostly passive in nature, they have provided units to the Alvarisian imperial army in times of war.
Major Settlement: Lumino
Military: pegasus riders, monks, and clerics
Ruler: Oracle Natasha

Luharia – The Kingdom of Luharia was a major adversary of Alvaris for nearly a century. Both kingdoms were vying for more and more territory, leading to them butting heads. The Luharians are known for their elegance and the strong code of chivalry that existed among their military ranks. Recognizing the strength of the burgeoning empire, the Luharians yielded to the imperial power. Today the Luharian maintains its splendour and elegance, having forged close ties to the imperial throne through diplomacy.
Major Settlements: Endelon; Marona; North Fort; Wild Fort; Summer Fort
Military: mounted units (cavaliers, medics, paladins and great knights).
Ruler: King Ambrose

Relia – The Kingdom of Relia is a small and relatively isolated kingdom due to most of its territory being on mountains. Not entirely interested in the greater affairs of the continent, when they were approached by Luharian dignitaries on behalf of the Alvarisian Empire, they submitted to their terms. Fairly disconnected from the rest of the continent due to living on mountains, the Relians seem to be unaware of major cultural occurrences, making them seem simple.
Major Settlement: Relia
Military: flying units(griffin riders, a minority of pegasus riders) and tamers.
Ruler: King Oliver

Valdere – The Republic of Valdere is a distinct cultural region south of the Kingdom of Luharia. Distant relatives of the Qulmari, the Valderans offered their allegiance to the Alvarisian Empire. While they posed no substantial threat to the Alvarisians, they proved to be valuable through their excellent network of spies and assassins. The Valderans saw their entrance in to the Alvarisian Empire as a means to launch a thriving trading network. They have no army, but they train thieves, assassins and archers.
Major Settlement: Arkis
Ruler: Chancellor Eustace van Orwell

Granden – Known for their guerilla warfare and the thick forest covering most of their country, the Granden province proved to be a difficult region for the Alvarisian Empire to conquer. It was once ruled by the LaVerren family, who led the defense, though they were also supported by the western empire of Remora. The expenses of the war became too great for the Remorans to continue supporting Granden and soon had to withdraw their military forces. Nevertheless, the Grandish people continued fighting until they were eventually defeated by the combined Alvarisian forces. The LaVerren's were removed from power, and five ministers were established in the 5 largest settlements to prevent any further uprisings.
Major Settlements: Evander; Hilton; Silvingtoft; Deervale; Terrabor
Military: duelists, reavers, lancers, tamers, thieves, archers, shamans
Rulers: Minister Graeme, Minister Erwin, Minister Victor, Minister Noel, Mister Bryan

Qulmar – The Queendom of Qulmar is known for its vibrant and passionate populace, as well as its cruel and unforgiving desert. A Qulmari king was threatened by the expansion of the Alvarisian Empire, but his wife poisoned him and took control of the kingdom. She sent her eldest daughter to the imperial court, who wed one of the emperor's sons. The Qulmari royal household has since held an elevated status in the imperial court, and women have continued to hold the throne in Qulmar since.
Major Settlements: Quval; Qutan
Military: wyvern riders, chemists, duelists, trueblades, reavers, lancers, and archers.
Ruler: Queen Parisa

Remora – Historically formed from three kingdoms: Remora, Mordras and Serastil; the Remoran Empire became a substantial power in the west. They established the Remoran Alliance, comprised of Remora, Provesca, Lombasta, and Vicaris which stood in opposition to the Alvarisian Empire. Though in truth, it was a thinly veiled empire on its own, wishing to consolidate and maintain its status, which Alvaris threatened. Once Granden fell to the Alvarisians, the Remoran Alliance waged a full scale war, though they could not contend against the combined powers of the empire and they fell. The Remoran Empire was shattered, and in the Empress' stead Dukes and Duchesses were given power, governed by the most loyal servant of the imperial throne.
Major Settlements: Atmos; Turenton; Dorval; Vernaby
Military: mounted units (cavaliers and medics); mages and clerics.
Ruler: Archduchess Irene

Provesca – A former member of the Remoran Alliance, the Kingdom of Provesca is a small and modest country. While they did take note of the spread of the Alvarisians, it was only until after the Remorans spoke of the risk posed by Alvarisian rule did they mobilize their army and join the Alliance. When the Remorans were defeated, the Provescans yielded as well, willing to accept whatever fate befell them. In return, the Alvarisians allowed the Provescan royal household to remain in power.
Major Settlement: Provesca
Military: armoured infantry (swordsmen, pikeman, fighters, guardian knights) clerics, and monks.
Ruler: King Harris

Vicaris – A bright and innovative province, Vicaris is home to artisans and philosophers. The Vicarisians government was met by Remoran dignitaries who spoke of the threat posed by the Alvarisians. Believing their propaganda, the Vicarisians joined the Remoran Alliance. After the Remorans were defeated, Vicaris surrendered alongside Provesca. As a result, the Emperor spared the cities, and became patron of their creative endeavours.
Major Settlement: Farros
Military:chemists, bombardiers, bards, mages duelists and lancers.
Ruler: Governor Murray Durrance

Lombasta – Formerly a major trading kingdom, the Lombastan province was nearly razed to the ground during the Great Imperial War. The first member of the Remoran Alliance, they strongly believed in the threat of the Alvarisian Empire ruling the continent. Skilled in ranged combat and siege warfare, even after the Remoran Empire fell, the Lombastan royal household continued to fight. Had the civilians not risen up against their royal masters in a civil war, a bitter war would have killed many of the Lombastan people. The Emperor allowed the Lombastan people to take their province's fate into their own hands as they got rid of the monarchy and established a democracy.
Major Settlement: Drakal
Military: archers, snipers, marksmen, warriors, bow cavaliers, and bombardiers.
Ruler: Chancellor Oscar Ericson

Emeldia – The Kingdom of Emeldia is also known as the "kingdom of magics" for its fervent pursuit of magical studies. Covered in a vast forest colloquially referred to as the "haunted woods", the Emeldians were uninterested in the greater politics of the continent. Even when the Remoran Empire attempted to convince the Emeldians of the threat posed by the Alvarisians, the Emeldian refused to join their alliance. Thus, they abstained from participating in the great imperial war. When the war came to its end, they chose to join the Alvarisian Empire at their own volition.
Major Settlements: Imdalor; Valon; Saros
Military: mages, shamans, monks, clerics, chemists, bards, spellswords, and mage knights.
Ruler: Sage-King Edmund

Torbica – The Kingdom of Torbica was the last frontier that had yet to be conquered by Alvaris. Stalwart warriors renowned for their prowess in battle and relentless assaults, the Torbicans did not wish to see themselves ruled by the foreign emperor. Unwaveringly loyal to their ruler, the Torbicans were willing to fight to the death. The Alvarisians vastly underestimated the Torbicans, believing them to be simple barbarians, but they were soundly defeated and lost territory to the warrior kingdom. Back and forth the kingdoms waged war for over a century, until a young emperor fell in love with their warrior queen. Although their love was initially met with disapproval, they were eventually able to bring an end to the war between their two peoples and wed.
Major Settlements: Domundar; Whitborough; Scargen; East Fort; West Fort
Military: reavers, fighters, duelists, swordsmen, berzerkers, bruisers, skalds, mages, and druids.
Ruler: King Dagmar


Everdine – The Kingdom of Everdine is the newest kingdom formed between the kingdoms of Torbica and Alvaris. Its creation represented the peace that had blossomed between both kingdom, as the region had been formerly contested between the kingdoms. At the end of the war, they each surrendered their claim on the land, supporting the people who had lived through many years of war, and helping it to become the prosperous kingdom that it is today. It's ruler, Edgar, is the beloved childhood friend of the emperor who helped bring the Emperor and the Empress together.
Major Settlement: Unity
Military: Everdine does not officially have a military, though it trains cavaliers
Ruler: King Edgar Everdine

The battle system of SoA has evolved to become much more complex (and hopefully a bit more fluid as a result). It still relies on the foundation of certain Fire Emblem principles, while integrating more aspects from Final Fantasy and custom additions according to my own design.

Now incorporated is a system of stats that will play an integral role in the game and how players progress in their levels.

ATK – The attack stat is the amount of damage that a character inflicts using a physical weapon. (swords, axe, lance, bow, knife, flail)
DEF – The defence stat is used to mitigate damage from the attack stat.
POW – The power stat is the amount of damage that a character inflicts using a magical weapon. (anima, light, dark)
RES – The resistance stat is used to mitigate damage from the power stat.
SPD – The speed stat determines the number of hits, as well as the likelihood of evasion and counter attacks.
ACC – The accuracy stat influences the likelihood of landing a successful hit.
LUK – The luck stat influences the likelihood of landing a successful hit and evasion.
CON – The constitution stat is the amount of life force that a character has.

Weapons, Armour, Items and the Inventory

The inclusion of stats has allowed for the introduction of more dynamic weapons, which have the capacity to influence other stats, as well as provide additional effects supporting the player or hindering their enemy.

Weapons continue to serve their purpose as tools of combat. Different equipped weapons can affect a myriad of stats. The distinction between ATK and POW based weapons is another consideration that must be taken when entering into combat as these will be affected by DEF and RES respectively.

New to the battle system is the opportunity to attack while unarmed. This is generally not recommended, as your stats will be greatly reduced, but one might find themselves in such a situation as per the story, or in the event of a broken weapon.

Weapon durability remains a notable component of the battle system, in which a weapon will break if it is overused by a player.

Swords, axes, lances, bows, knives, and flails all have weapon durability that starts low in E class, goes high in C class, then back low in A class, much like a parabola. (Note: S class breaks the cycle by having very high durability). Tomes, staves, songbooks, and concoctions, on the other hand start with high durability in the E class and then very low durability in the upper classes. This is reflected in the chart below.



Armour is a reworked element of the battle system; these allow for greater versatility in options for defence. Armour is still defined between, cloth, light, medium, and heavy with its use restricted to certain classes. The different types of armour follow a similar principle to the previous system; namely, the heavier the armour the slower the speed. However, there is now a much greater variety of armour available and the potential for different stats to be impacted or effects from the armour to be used.

In addition to this, each of the types of armour have classifications of E, D, C, B, and A. Meaning that a player must become accustomed to a certain level of armour before gaining access to the higher levels. (See section on ranking up) Unlike weapons, armour does not have durability considerations (although this may change as the game continues), nor do they have a legendary S-tier.

Items have been slightly expanded and may continue to expand as the game progresses. In addition to many of the limited-use items, there are other magical items that can be purchased or found across Alvaris to slightly improve stats while they are equipped. For the time being, there is only one of each of this particular type of item, each affecting a single stat.

As a balance to the various weapons and items available to a player, there is an official inventory of seven items (though technically five, since the first two slots are saved for a weapon and armour). No more than this can be carried at one time by a single player, and they will have to take into consideration giving up one item for another, or one weapon for another. As the game evolves, there will be additional storage available for characters in between battles.

The Accuracy Role

Attacks, effects, and some actions are determined by a random roll from 1-100. An attack is governed by the following number system:

<=5 – Blunder – A negative event taking place for the individual or their allies.
<=25 – Miss – Completely miss the target.
<=40 – Graze – A weaker version of the standard attack. (Divided by 2)
<=95 – Hit! – A successful standard attack.
<=100 – Critical – A powerful version of the standard attack. (Multiplied by 2)

Note: Attacking Unit (AU) and Defending Unit (DU)

Stats influence the roll number (ROLL) through means of evasion (EVA) that is determined by:
EVA = [DU SPD] + [DU LUK]
ROLL =(BASE)+([AU ACC] + [AU Triangle Bonus] + ([AU LUK]/2)) – [DU EVA]

For a standard “Hit!”, damage (DMG) is calculated differently for physical attacks and magic attacks. Physical attacks (swords, lances, axes, bows, knives, and flails) rely on ATK and DEF stats, using the formula:

DMG = ([AU ATK] + [AU Triangle Bonus] + [Impact Bonus] + [Effect Bonus] + [Pro. Bonus]) – [DU DEF]
Magical attacks (anima, light, dark) rely on the POW and RES stats, using the formula:

DMG = ([AU POW] + [AU Triangle Bonus] + [Impact Bonus] + [Effect Bonus] + [Pro. Bonus]) – [DU RES]

Double Attacks

Double Attacks are now calculated on a basis of speed. Their speed stat must be 5 points greater than the speed stat of their opponent. If a double attack is confirmed, then a second roll will take place after the initial roll. Of course, this might change with time as we explore this system.

The Power of Three

For now, there will be three weapon triangles. These triangles provide a slight bonus/disadvantage in DMG (+/-1), and a slight influence on the ROLL (+/-3).

These are the current triangles:

Sword>Axe>Lance>Sword

Bow>Knife>Flail>Bow

Light>Dark>Anima>Light

Buff and Debuffs

Are positive and negative traits that can be temporarily applied to a character to affect their status. In Songs of Alvaris, buffs and debuffs can be stacked to have multiple effects inflicted upon a target, but for the purposes of simplicity, there will be can be a max of 5 buffs and 5 debuffs applied to a single character at any given time.

Buffs and debuffs that have a lingering effect, typically last for 5 turns until the effect fades away, or until the effect is placed upon the target once again.

Experience, Ranking Up & Levelling Up

As mentioned prior, weapons are subdivided according to ranks from E-S and armour from E-A. A player must have obtained the appropriate rank to wield weapons or armour within them. In the case of weapons, a character must declare an attack in order to increase their weapon level through experience (EXP). (For now, this is 2 EXP per attack contributing to weapon level, with an exception of 4 EXP per use of staff, concoction or songbook) In the case of armour, for every attack on their character, they will gain experience to increase their armour level. (For now, this is 3 EXP per defending attack contributing to armour level)

Aside from gaining ranks with weapons and armour, a character will also level up to increase their stats. During a battle, each action will dictate the amount of EXP that a character gains:

Pass – 0 EXP
Movement – 0 EXP
Discourse – 1 EXP
Miss – 1 EXP
Parley (Failure) – 2 EXP
Activity – 2 EXP
Item – 2 EXP
Graze – 2 EXP
Rescue – 3 EXP
Skill – 3 EXP
Hit! – 4 EXP
Critical!!/Heal + 5 – 6 EXP
Kill – 10 EXP
Parley (Success) – 15 EXP

For characters that are already promoted, the amount of EXP they get from actions is much less:

Pass – 0 EXP
Movement – 0 EXP
Discourse – 1 EXP
Miss – 1 EXP
Parley (Failure) – 1 EXP
Activity – 1 EXP
Item – 1 EXP
Graze – 1 EXP
Rescue – 2 EXP
Skill – 2 EXP
Hit! – 3 EXP
Critical!!/Heal + 5 – 4 EXP
Kill – 5 EXP
Parley (Success) – 15 EXP

Once a character has obtained 100 EXP they will level up, resulting in some or all of their stats increasing. Once a character has reached level 10 and they have the appropriate item (as well as completed appropriate plot training), they have the capacity to become a promoted class, granting access to a new set of skills, weapons and armours. The active and passive skills from the previous class are retained, creating individualistic promotions.

During a player’s turn, they have a number of actions available to them, with associated costs according to the available AP:

Pass – The player forgoes participating in a round (0 AP)
Discourse – The player engages another character (1 AP)
Rescue – The player “saves” another character from harm (decreased speed and movement) (1 AP)

The Flow of Combat

When a skirmish is commenced it typically begins with the "player phase" in which the player characters have the opportunity to choose a set of actions according to their available AP. (Pass, Discourse, Rescue, Movement, Parley, Activity, Item, Skill, or Attack) *See action point chart for available AP per class per turn*

Pass – The player forgoes participating in a round (0 AP)
Discourse – The player engages another character (1 AP)
Rescue – The player “saves” another character from harm (decreased speed and movement) (1 AP)
Movement – The player moves over territory (1 AP [Though more AP can be spent for greater distances])
Parley – The player attempts to get a human enemy to retreat (2 AP)

Item – The player uses an item (2 AP)
Skill – The player uses a skill (2 AP) [Can only be used once per player turn]
Attack – The player engages in an attack (2 AP) [Can only be used once per player turn*]

*This precludes special skills, or states that allow the character to engage in more than one attack per turn.

Once they have completed the initializing of their action, the GM will complete the action depending on the roll to determine the outcome.

The enemy phase is commenced following these outcomes, in which the enemies will target the players, or plot their own movements.

Following the end of the enemy phase, the player characters can then respond to the enemy actions bring the cycle to full circle.

Name: Imperial Princess Amelia Gunhilda Vigdis of Alvaris
Age: 19
Appearance: Amelia has a lithe body trained for combat and stands at a height slightly above most other women. Her posture often betrays her royal upbringing in public areas, portraying a sense of status and authority. Taking much after her mother, she shares her chiseled facial features and striking auburn hair which she often keeps pulled back in a long ponytail. Her eyes, though flashing with ferocious determination, are a silvery-grey which she inherited from her father.

Her travelling clothes consists of a black leather jerkin over a beige long-sleeved tunic, tawny leather pants in warm deer pelt boots. As an effort to not draw attention to herself and provide her with warmth on the long roads, she also has a heavy hooded cloak.

Personality: Amelia is well known for her fiery and fierce nature. She is impulsive and quick to leap into action, which would often get her into trouble, though her heart is usually in the right place. Vocal, with a strong sense of justice, Amelia will stand up for herself or others whom she feels have been slighted. She is protective of those she cares about and will recklessly put herself into harm's way to save those she loves. She is relentless in combat, and lives for the rush of battle, though living in an era of peace she knows nothing of the horrors of true warfare.

Biography:The third born of the imperial family and the second daughter, Amelia brought much liveliness into the household as a child. Unlike her two elder siblings, who bore the tranquil temperament of their father, Amelia was loud and rambunctious. Her childhood was filled with many cuts and bruises as she got into fights or general mischief throughout the palace. Only the almost legendary stories of her mother would cause the young princess to stay still as she listened with great admiration. At the behest of her parents, Amelia was trained in swordsmanship as a means to vent all of her energy.

The world of her tender childhood came to an abrupt end when her mother died while giving birth to her youngest brother Aiden. In one fell swoop she lost both of her parents, for the loving and gentle father that she had known was completely gone, replaced by a shadow of a man disinterested in his own children. It was during this time that Mathias and Olivia were tasked with their future responsibilities as crown prince and first daughter, and so, Amelia took on a strong nurturing role for her younger siblings alongside the imperial wet nurse, Lady Margaret.

She became engrossed with her sword training, no longer a means to vent excess energy, but also a means to vent her frustrations of the world, as well as mourn the loss of her parents. Once her father eventually died, Amelia was awash of complex emotions she could not quite understand, being unable to cry at his royal funeral. She loved the memory of her father, but resented the man that he had become. Their family was fragmented: Mathias was always busy with imperial duties; Olivia had gone to Relia after her wedding; Tobias had left to study magic in Emeldia; and the youngest ones were rarely seen outside of the inner chambers of the palace. She decided that she would leave the palace to forge her own path after her brother's coronation.

The night of her brother's assassination however found Amelia's world shattered once again. Before she could even begin to mourn him, she was slipped a message by one of her servants. The message detailed a plot of treachery against the imperial family, and that the children would be taken to safety. It also stressed the importance of her brother who was now next in line to the imperial throne.

Quickly gathering her things, Amelia and one of her most trusted friends, Mitra, left the imperial palace under the cloak of night to find her brother. While leaving Sovereign however, they were spotted by a knight with a mysterious air about them. Not wanting to waste precious time or risk their departure being discovered, she immediately recruited the supposed loyal knight to join them to Emeldia.

He is the spitting image of his father, bearing his raven black hair cut short, and his inquisitive silvery-grey eyes. His face is often in a pensive expression, which make others wary of disturbing him.

He has taken to wearing dark colours as of recently. Upon leaving the palace, Tobias wears a long navy blue robe made of cotton with intricate black embroidery sewn along the hood. Over the robe he wears a black cape which he fastens around his neck with a silver pin.

Personality: Despite looking much like his father, Tobias bears more of the personality traits of his mother: he is outspoken and cares little about how other's perceive him. His dry candidness has gotten him in trouble on more than one occasion, but he is also well known for outwitting those he had irked moments before. Clever and inquisitive, Tobias values knowledge and study, traits that have helped him learn the basics of magic. A victim of his youth however, he is known for bouts of moodiness and impetuousness, as expected of a teenager.

Biography: The fourth child of the Emperor and the Empress, not much was expected of him, although he was technically second in line to the throne. Enjoying such freedom of responsibility, much of Tobias' youth was spent toddling after his elder sister Amelia who shared the same allotment of life. It was a simple life, and a happy life for the child.

The death of his mother brought him closer to their wet nurse Lady Margaret. As the elder three children stoically put aside their tears as the faces of the imperial family, Toby, along with his younger siblings found comfort in Margaret. When their father became distant, Tobias began to resent the man whom everyone said he looked like, wishing that he could have hair like his elder siblings.

As he grew older, Tobias found solace in books. It came as no surprise that Tobias had a talent for magic, and immediately he began to experiment and explore his newfound abilities. Knowing that the Sage-King of Emeldia had trained his father, he too wished to learn magic in Imdalor. Thus, Tobias left the palace with his royal guardian in tow as they journeyed to Emeldia, unaware of the series of events that would come to pass shortly afterwards.

Name: Barrett Ansgot
Age: 24
Appearance: Barrett is a tall, gangly sort of fellow, without much in the way of fat or muscle to garnish his wiry frame. Though he measures 6 feet 2 inches, any passerby that caught sight of him would be hard pressed to tell due to his consistently poor posture and the fact the majority of his weight is born by the staff on which he leans constantly. Barrett’s eyes are sunken black beads, rocked by the decoloured cradles that come from lack of sleep. The matted tangle of brown locks sprouting from his top gives his head a rather bush-like appearance; it is common for small birds to perch amidst the carotene shrubbery when Barrett lays down to rest. This general unkemptness is maintained throughout the rest of Barrett’s ensemble. Scraggly wisps of a beard and mustache float across his face, dancing distractedly whenever played upon by a gentle breeze. What were once a fine cleric’s cloak and robes are caked in mud and stained from long hours spent lying in the morning dew. Ratty sandals cling desperately to Barrett’s feet, held on at this point by little more than willpower.

Personality: Barret Ansgot is what one might call a burden to society. He labels himself a philosopher, but what he really means is that he feels no motivation to work at anything other than running his cynical mouth. He tends to skit around what he views as the less serious areas of morality, content to lie, cheat, steal and generally take advantage of people if he believes it will make him happy. Despite being a chronic insomniac, or perhaps because of this, Barrett enjoys nothing more than lazing about, especially among the branches of a sturdy tree. He moves only when he is hungry or curious, or when he sees an opportunity to create mischief. Despite being trained as a healer, Barrett generally feels little compulsion to help people unless there is something in it for him. On the flip side, he is quite fond of animals, especially the small woodland variety; these are among the only beings on the planet for which he will go out of his way. Barrett can often be seen with a small bird or squirrel perched on his shoulder, with whom he sings or carries on mostly one-sided conversations. Regrettably, Barrett occasionally has to catch a small animal in order to feed himself, but he tries to catch only those that he dislikes personally.

Biography: Barrett was a happy child, a ball of energy and mischief that brought many a smile to those in the small town in which he was raised. As the eldest child of a respected Holdish priest, it was expected that Barrett would follow in his father’s footsteps as a community leader and servant of the Sacred Light. The young Ansgot was eager to oblige, as he loved his elder and wanted nothing more than to be just like him. As his training began, the young boy took to healing. His education was adjusted accordingly, and he showed great promise as a user of staves. All was well.

Gradually, however, the young Barrett’s devotion began to wayne. Insomnia had become an increasingly severe problem for him in his later teenage years, and none of the herbal remedies or light-honouring prayers of his people could provide a cure. This left the apprentice cleric with much time to think - too much time, in fact. He came to resent the purposelessness of the earth’s eternal cycle of death and rebirth, the emptiness of the light that drove the world without a thought for the individual people suffering on the planet’s forsaken crust. Was there a point to anything? Barrett didn’t think so. He came to the conclusion that the light was not something to be venerated, but rather a power meant for personal gain. More handy than holy, as it were. Barrett’s new worldview led to several heated disputes with his family and with his teachers. Following one particularly heated discussion with his father, the younger Ansgot picked up his staves, retrieved a small bag of missionary travel supplies from the church, bade his weeping mother farewell and left. He was twenty at the time.

In the intervening four years, Barrett traveled as he saw fit. He worked as little as possible, content to take advantage of people’s generosity one day and leave without thanking them the next. Whatever he couldn’t get for free, he bought with money earned from demanding exorbitant payment for healing injured travellers after they had encountered “accidents” on the road. The night of the royal assassination, Barrett was enjoying a pint at a cozy inn in a small Emeldian village. It was good beer, and the barmaid was wearing a particularly low-cut dress that night. All in all it was a lovely evening.

Name: Mitra Nahdai
Age: 21
Appearance:
Mitra is rather short for her age, coming in several inches shy of Amelia in height, though she makes up for it with her muscular build. Her posture is usually strained and overly rigid. She has caramel skin, and dark brown hair that she keeps cut short in a messy, rounded bob. Mitra has sharp facial features, with a narrow mouth, and her intense amber eyes are framed by thick eyebrows. Her neutral expression makes her appear annoyed, and she has a faint raspy quality to her voice.

Mitra left the palace wearing a plain hide vest and a pair of baggy, off-white trousers tucked into calf-high leather boots. Her shoulders are draped with a thick, crimson scarf, and around her waist is a dark bluish green sash she uses to hold her axes. Beneath her clothes, Mitra keeps her chest bound for ease of movement, and she wraps her forearms and hands with cloth.

Personality:
Mitra is shrewd and pragmatic, with little patience for things she considers frivolous. She prides herself on her levelheadedness and is quick on the draw with a snide remark, never afraid to give someone a much needed lecture. On the other hand, she embarrasses easily, and hates nothing more than being made a fool of. She sews as a hobby.

Biography:
Mitra's early childhood is a hazy blur. No memory of her parents, she has but a vague recollection of living on the streets of Qulmar. Her abduction, she remembers with more clarity. The physical abuse, the fear, the hushed murmurs of her captors and the muffled sobs of her fellow victims have been branded into her memory. More importantly, she recalls her savior. The caravan had just stopped for the night, near the Alvarisian border, when Empress Ingrid and her entourage descended upon them like rays of sunlight cutting through the mist. She carried the scent of lavender, with a voice like honey, and roses bloomed wherever she trod. Yes, that's definitely how it happened.

The battle that ensued was as long as it was intense, with the kidnappers immediately surrendering and being taken into custody. The abductees were all seen to and eventually sent back to their homes and families in Qulmar, all except Mitra. With nothing and nobody to return to in her country of birth, the imperial court were unsure what to do with the girl. As a temporary measure, they elected to let her stay in the servants' quarters of the palace until a solution could be reached. The subject was eventually dropped without being resolved, and Mitra was allowed to remain on staff permanently. One of the maids looked after her and instructed her in the meantime.

Mitra proved to make a clumsy servant, but managed to find a niche repairing damaged garments when she displayed an aptitude for sewing. During her time at the palace, she became close friends with Princess Amelia. Mitra's stint as a seamstress was shortlived as she displayed an interest in more militant pursuits, wanting to serve the royal family in a more substantive capacity. The Empress reluctantly allowed the girl to accompany her on routine patrols. Mitra's role was very passive at first, but over time, she began to pick up on the basics of combat. Serving directly under Ingrid caused the girl to develop a somewhat unorthodox fighting style, more reminiscent of a Torbican warrior than an Alvarisian soldier. These outings continued until the Empress Ingrid's sixth pregnancy and subsequent death.

With Ingrid's death, Mitra's temperament shifted, becoming distant and bitter. She continued to serve as a guard at the palace, but while she wasn't on duty, she'd often wander off to secluded areas and spend time alone with her thoughts. When she wasn't doing that, she was usually with Amelia, sparring or somesuch. The years that followed were hard on everybody, not least of all the royal children. Still, everyone had high hopes for the future as Prince Mathias's coronation approached. As such, it was to be expected that the prince's assassination would throw the entire court into disarray. On the same evening, Mitra was surprised to be approached by Amelia, of all people, bringing grim tidings indeed. The two young women both left that night, set on finding Prince Tobias. As they moved under the cover of moonlight, Mitra couldn't help but feel glad that the princess had something to keep her mind off of her brother's murder.

Name: Helle Ahlberg
Age: 22
Appearance: Although Helle is average height, she stands with a straight, proud posture and a sense of dignity. Along with her noticeable musculature, numerous scars, and stoic expression, she appears quite imposing to most people. Her straight, dark blond hair is cut short, barely reaching to her chin, and her hooded eyes are a deep blue.

To cover her many scars, Helle covers as much skin as possible. She wears a thick grey scarf around her neck that she sometimes wraps around her head, a loose, long-sleeved white shirt, plain brown trousers, and simple leather shoes. A belt around her waist holds her scabbard.
Personality: Helle is defined jointly by her arrogance and her social awkwardness due to her upbringing. She is extremely prideful of herself and her skills in swordsmanship, fully believing she could beat anyone in a fight. She'll leap to defend her skill if she thinks it is in doubt. Most of what she does is for her pride or reputation.

Frequently, she'll take completely innocuous sentences as insults or slights and take offense. This is more because of her lack of social skills than being too touchy; she misses or misinterprets jokes and light jabs frequently. Emotions are not her strong suit either, as she's not prone to extreme emotions and never had to deal with them in her life.

However, for all her flaws, Helle's father raised her with a few values. She's honest to a fault, hardworking and determined, fair and just, and loyal to whatever cause she chooses to devote herself to. Though she frequently fights with others, she's not cruel and doesn't take joy in causing pain, nor is she excessive. It just so happens that the cause she's devoted herself to at the moment is... well, her own self-interest and pride, and she's willing to hurt a few people for that.
Biography: Helle was born the only child of a proud Torbican swordsman. Her father despaired, having hoped for a boy, but eventually decided that he would train his daughter to follow in his footsteps nonetheless. Despite her mother's protests, Helle's life was devoted to training from childhood, leaving no time for socializing or play. Her mother's presence in her life became nearly nonexistent, and for long periods of time Helle would only interact with her father and no one else. Surprising her mother, Helle accepted the role she was given (resenting, perhaps, her father's prejudice, but delighting in training her skills) and gladly entered the military once she was old enough, eager to test herself against others.

Helle's arrogance and lack of social skills made her more enemies than friends among her peers. However, people who disliked her soon found Helle's conceit was not entirely baseless when they faced her in a duel. After word started to spread, most of the others either feared or respected Helle, maintaining a respectful distance. Helle didn't particularly care that she lost any opportunities for close friendships; she cared about proving herself to be an adept fighter and establishing a reputation.

The news of the assassination was shocking, though it did not affect Helle much personally. She didn't care much for politics and the like. However, the news of the heir's disappearance and the resulting instability was concerning. As proud of her skills as she may be, Helle had never experienced war, and she was not eager to change that anytime soon.

Name: Jax Argand
Age: ~40
Appearance: It's hard to say how Jax has changed since the war, as he stopped removing his armor in the presence of others long ago. Those that remember him from before the war will note that he was of a medium height and build, barely suitable for the armor he bore, and that he had dark hair and eyes, those with the clearest memory could even recall the hair was definitely black, and the eyes were green. Jax has been in combat, so it wouldn't be a stretch to assume he had scars somewhere, and he has likely paled, do to not getting much sun, and perhaps even started to grey.

Of course how most see him now is a towering suit of multi layered armor, painted up as you would expect of a Knight of Alvaris.
Personality: Distant, and not very vocal, Jax is assumed to suffered from minor shell shock from participating in the war. However, he doesn't have the violent outbursts some others do, so he was allowed to continue his service in the military as a Town Guard. Duty and justice is important to him, and as such he'll fight hard to protect the innocent and to punish criminals. Although it would be hard to tell under his armor, he is always on high alert and searching his surroundings, to the best of his abilities.
Biography: Jax was very young when he first attempted to join the military around 12 or 13, a run-a-away from a country family. Normally a child so young would need permission, but Jax was to stubborn to tell where exactly he haled, so he was denied. However his vigor and insistence caught the eye of an older knight that allowed him to bypass the system by taking him on as a squire. Jax was tested in weapon aptitude, and while didn't excel in any, the knight he served under sought to push him and decided that until Jax excelled in one, he would have to train in them all.

The training went along fine, until a few years later the knight was promoted and called to serve in the war proper as a military commander, and pulled some strings to have Jax trained as a Guardian Knight. The training was harsh, and Jax would have likely never been pulled from the normal recruits to attempt it, and without the favor, would have likely been kicked out very quickly, but as luck was seemingly on his side, he was giving try after try until he finally was able to move and fight in the heavy armor, however only with the axe, as the heavy blows of the weapon were the only ones that benefited from the heft of the armor, the style of swords and lances he had been trained in relying to much on speed and mobility.

Jax was 18 when he was finally sent to the war front as a caravan guard. He developed notoriety as a bad luck charm, sometimes called "Hi-Jax", as everyone convoy he was assigned to was targeted. This made him see more combat then many of the other Guardian Knights in the service, and was likely a factor in his shell shock. The war only lasted for a few years after he was deployed, though he continued to guard supply caravans in the new territory for a time after, eventually asking for reassignment since he couldn't stand *not* being ambushed while guarding them.

Many years dull years passed, until a myriad of unfortunate events happened, starting with the death of the queen, and snowballing to the eventual assassination of the royal heir, Mathias. Jax went rampant at the news, storming out of the barracks like some sort of one man army to find the killer. Though chances he'd be able to due much himself were low, he did stumble upon a suspicious pair that he confronted, however instead of apprehending them, he was recruited by them for a mission unlike he could have ever predicted.

Name: Herlewin

Age: 17

Appearance: Standing at 5’ 11”, Herlewin’s tanned body is that of an acrobat: healthy and fit, yet lean and without the bulk supplied by training with weights. Though his legs are relatively short for someone of his size, his arm span is long, extending a good four inches past his standing height. Perpetually ruffled, Herlewin’s neck-length sandy brown hair hangs in front of olive green eyes, the right one of which is dominant. His hands are rough and calloused from his work, and it’s not uncommon for a few of his bangs to be singed from one of his more dangerous acts going less than perfectly.

In terms of clothing, Herlewin owns nothing but a loose, beige cotton shirt, shin-length brown pants held in place by a white string, a pair of leather shoes, and a dark burgundy cloak for keeping out the rain. He keeps his other belongings in a makeshift backpack, fashioned out of an empty sack of potatoes and more string.

Personality: A lover of sunny days, Herlewin’s mood is usually a good indicator of the weather. A warm day (for the season) will make him an indomitable bubbling fountain of cheer, while rain and fog will render him into a sullen, reserved pile of melancholy. Fond of being the center of attention, the boy is a performer at heart and always knows how to make himself charismatic to please a crowd.

Lacking finesse in speech and the intricacies of etiquette, the boy has trodden on many a toe unintentionally: He regards no one as his superior, and will only address someone with deference if they’re part of his audience. In many areas of life, Herlewin is a runner, not a fighter. Often preferring to be misunderstood or cheated rather than face an argument, it’s not uncommon for him to simply walk away mid-conversation and ignore anyone who calls after him if he feels the exchange is turning sour.

Biography: Beginning his conscious life as an unidentified orphan wandering the streets of Unity, Herlewin was taken in and given his name by a travelling entertainer at the age of 4.
Mr. Buckley, as he went, was a hard man who enforced a strict regime: performance routines were practiced and polished with Buckley’s other adopted boys in the morning, then presented to the local villagers by evening. A good show meant good pay and good meals (for a time), while even the smallest mistake would earn a tireless reprimand from the boys’ mercilessly loquacious adoptive father.

The acts themselves were straightforward at first, but gradually evolved in complexity as the troupe moved away from relying on the endearing presence of talented young children and more towards showcasing the physical proficiency of its aging members. A master entertainer and rigorous pedagogue, Buckley constructed ever more elaborate acts for his group to perform as they grew in skill and popularity. Soon enough, the boys were learning to juggle flames and putting on dazzling pyrotechnic displays. Herlewin learned all manner of physical feats in these years, from backflips to fire breathing, even firing arrows at the moving targets the other boys would throw. Most of all, however, Herlewin learned to entertain, and entertain he did. The troupe’s name became known in many a village in Everdine, their appearances highly anticipated in every stop on their route.

In the fall of Herlewin’s 17th year, however, Mr. Buckley broke down with a cough. Though the man continued to travel with the group he had created, he soon became too sick to act as the troupe’s barker. Try as they might, the winter season’s drought in performance opportunities rendered the boys too poor to pay for sufficient treatment and too disorganized to scrounge up enough by other means. Lacking the medical attention he needed, their adoptive father passed away as the snow lifted and the first flowers of spring bloomed.

Buckley’s death brought with it the disbandment of Herlewin’s group. With no one to guide them or organize their shows, their popularity quickly dwindled and they soon parted ways. Some abandoned their past and sought work on nearby farms, but Herlewin couldn’t give up the person he’d spent his life becoming. He liked making people smile. He liked to have others gather into a crowd, to see them having a good time. This the life he’d always led, and he was going to stick to it. Travelling from place to place, Herlewin adapted what he knew into a solo routine. It wasn’t as successful as Mr. Buckley’s troupe had been, but it was enough to survive.

Name: Dinah Faramond

Age: 27

Appearance: Dinah is tall and lanky. She has long black hair, usually hidden behind her hood. She wears a long brown coat that goes a down most of her body. Thick brown leather boots can be seen peeking out from beneath it. Her face is almost always hidden behind a mask. But underneath is a landscape of scars and facial damage from a burn she suffered in her youth. Her heterochromatic eyes peer from the mask one bright blue and the other a soft green. In her hand she is normally carrying a bag. The bag contains what brews that are not currently attached to the various belt pouches.

Personality: Most describe Dinah as cold and negative. The fact that she can’t show many emotions adds to this effect. Dinah seems to always find the worst even in the happiest situation and doesn’t hesitate to bring it to attention.
She cares little for titles and military rankings, seeing them more as simple bragging rights and nothing little more. Dinah understands the need for people to hide their true selves from the dark judgemental world and doesn’t look down on those that do.
She usually only shows her happier side when she is creating a mask in her spare time.

Biography: Dinah was raised by a small farm household and spent the better part of her childhood admiring the Emeldia’s craftsmanship. Even in the small town she was born in magic and artisans could be found everywhere. Her favorite was the mask maker. Whenever she could young Dinah would go into town and watch the man work. She began to collect the masks he made and learn his trade through watching. Dinah adorned the walls of her room with the masks enjoying each one’s beauty and uniqueness. She would wear them around her house as she ran room to room enjoying the little things.
Her life proceeded normally as she grew until she reached the age of ten. As the years went past her father became more and more of a drunkard. Coming home and violently lashing out at others. Then Dinah happened to step in one day. She remembers and regrets that decision daily. Her father quickly overpowered the young girl. Pinning her to the kitchen counter top. That was when he grabbed the tea kettle. It was on the oven getting ready to boil. In a drunken rage he grabbed it and plunged it to his daughter’s face. She remembers the heat. She remembers the pain. She remembers the screaming. Finally she remembers blacking out. She remembers waking in an unfamiliar room in the capital city. She remembers seeing her mother next to her. And she remembers seeing herself, she was used to hurting her face but this was the first time her face hurt her.
The pain was a numbing pulling pain now. Her face was permanently damaged. The following months were met with the struggles of healing and strengthening what muscles she had left. For a while talking was a challenge and so was eating. The worst part however was how others looked at her. She constantly saw the others stare and she could hear them whisper. The one day it hit her. She began to craft her own masks. Building them to be intricate and beautiful. She wanted them to show others what she felt and wanted others to see her as they saw the masks.
Dinah continued making masks and wearing them as she went about her routine.
She went weekly to an Apothecary in the city. He treated her with a simple salve, made of aloe leaves, to ease the pain. As the days went on she became more intrigued by what the apothecary did. Asking questions and taking notes on his newest projects and mixtures. Eventually Dinah became his assistant. She mainly did small errands and simple treatments, but it was a simple life and one she enjoyed.

Name: Sophie Wickerson - Princess Sophie Isabelle of Emeldia
Age: 18
Appearance: Standing at an average height with a scrawny frame, Sophie is not what one would expect of someone with royal blood in her veins. Instead, she appears “rough around the edges”, her hands are calloused from labour and her skin is a bit tanned from working in the sun, with her shoulders and the bridge of her nose dusted with freckles. She has a penchant for casually leaning backwards with her arms crossed over her chest, emanating an air of casualty when in her presence. Her hair is a light shade of brown, and typically kept at a length to her upper back. It is wavy, venturing into the territory of unruly as she often brushes stray hairs blowing into her face, which often results in her leaving it in a messy bun. Her eyes are a soft hazel, predominantly green mixed with shades of brown, often twinkling with mirth, though a profound intelligence belies.

Sophie wears a white tunic hemmed to a length just at her knees, with a broad brown leather belt bearing a brass buckle around her waist. Her sleeves are often rolled up around her elbows, prepared to get her hands messy. Over the tunic is a tan coloured vest with silver embroidery along its seams and two pockets closer to the waist, which she leaves unfastened. Her shoulders are covered by a light brown travelling cape, that is just a bit longer than her tunic. On her feet, when she does where shoes, Sophie wears black slippers, not entirely fond of boots. The one piece of jewelry she owns is an amethyst necklace on a silver chain from her royal grandparents.

Personality: Sophie is a self-described “country girl”. Having spent most of her life in a rural village on the outskirts of Imdalor, Sophie preferred a simple life free from the hustle and bustle of the city. She’s the type of person who wears her heart on her sleeve, unafraid to share her emotions, and being quite frank when speaking with others. Her honesty and genuine nature allows Sophie to quickly form friendships with others from all walks of life. All of this is wrapped with a deep curiosity in the world around her, and a strong ambition to learn new things. Such traits lead to much contention with many traditions of the royal realm however, which has led to a slight resentment of royalty and their world by Sophie. Although a princess by title, Sophie rarely acknowledges this fact about herself, although she has learned to put on a more “regal” accent when in their company.

Biography: Sophie’s story started before she was born. Her mother, Casandra Wickerson, hailing from a small village in the Emeldian forest, was gifted in magic. Although her parents were poor farmers, they both worked very hard to send their daughter to Imdalor in order for her to become a proper mage. It was in that city, that young Casandra was swept up in a whirlwind romance with the man who would become Sophie’s father. He did not wish for her to keep the child, so Casandra abandoned her studies and returned to her village. Her heart broken, though her resolve strong, Casandra gave birth to Sophie; however, she succumbed to infection shortly after the birth. No one ever discovered who Sophie’s father was.

Sophie was raised by her grandparents, who loved the girl very much and raised her as well as they could with their limited resources. Soon however, they too eventually became ill and passed away, leaving the girl alone at the age of ten.

For two years Sophie fended for herself, trying to maintain her family’s farm alone. Many of her neighbours offered her what little they could, but it was becoming difficult for her to survive on her own. It was a task too great for a mere child. Her fate, however, changed when the King of Emeldia came to her door. In short, the Sage-King Edmund introduced himself to the girl as her grandfather, and took her back with him to Imdalor. There, Sophie met the rest of her family, including her father, who still wanted nothing to do with her, ashamed of his bastard daughter.

King Edmund and Queen Leah took a great interest in their granddaughter, ensuring that she never lacked in anything. They loved her like one of their own children and in turn, she grew to love them as well. Unfortunately, their bond led to some familial resentment, especially by Sophie’s stepmother. Her country upbringing led to various clashes in the royal household, some of which were orchestrated by her stepmother. Nevertheless, Sophie’s spirit remained unquenched, making friends with the servants of the castle, while avoiding most of the nobility.

It became quite apparent that Sophie was a magical prodigy, incredibly gifted in the art of magic, and blessed with the even rarer gift of scrying – an ability largely kept a secret from most people. King Edmund and Queen Leah personally undertook the girl’s development of magic, teaching her both a practical and theoretical understanding of the arcane.

Name: Tristan Ambergard
Age: 22 (Birthday: 8/21/??)
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Click to expand thumbnail

Tristan stands at a height of 5'8 and takes the greatest of pains in order to look as fashionable as possible at all times and seemingly reeks of high society. His features are fair, pale and blonde with short and kept hair.

Personality:

Tristan is refined and proud but slightly vain. Whether in a fight or not, Tristan takes the time to ensure that they are a cut above the rest in style. They contort themselves as a noble would and take the pains to make sure those around them know it. Despite their upbringing they do not place themselves above the common people, treating others with the dignity that people deserve.

Tristan is cunning, quick of wit and can come off to those he dislikes as cold and distant and has the capacity to be fairly manipulative. They care greatly about their place in the world and their station.

Tristan prefers to keep his distance in a fight, preferring to pelt his foes at range with magic but if confronted keeps himself resolute. House Ambergard is not a house of cowards.

Biography: Born in Vernaby of Remora. Tristan hails from the noble house of Ambergard. House Ambergard was once a House at the head of the Remoran empires effort to conquer Alvarisian but after Remora was conquered the House was all but stripped of its power and now remains in Remora as a shell of what it once was.

House Ambergard holds a fraction of the power and prestige it once held within the country though the wealth of it does remain yet. In current day Remora, the descendants have found it necessary to bend the knee towards the country of Alvaris.

Tristan however, has found himself moving against the grain of his house. Resentful for the Alvarian was of conquering and hoarding everything the sun touches he longs for the day where their empire crumbles and the day where perhaps the Ambergard name will mean something once more.

Because of his ways and how every breath Tristan drew seemingly embarrassed his family, he was strongly encouraged to foster his talents for magic in Emeldia where he remains currently.
