This image has been on the internet for some time now and I've always found it fascinating so I thought "why not make a story about this?" In the process I thought "it would be so cool to play something like this". Here goes:
The world (so far)
Enterra (the world) consists of 3 big islands and a continent, to the east is the island of Peregrinia, to the north is the island of Paxia, to the east is the island of Mortia, in the continent (name pending) there are 3 nations, 2 humans and 1 demi-human, to the north of the continent you have Technia, to the east Vulpia (non human) and to the south the biggest nation, Fidenia.
Powers and cultures (so far)
Peregrinia:
-Rock
-Water
-Fire
They are traditional folk, the different "clans" continue with their chosen magic path and deviation from the norm is ill advised.
Technia:
-Gun
-Sword
-Technomagic
They are the single most advanced civilization in all of enterra, they believe that technology is far more effective than magic and they believe that the only justified use of magic is to advance the knowledge of human kind.
Fidenia:
-Dragon
-Wolf
-Snake
-Devil
Fidenia is a theocracy which serves two principal deities (Dragon and Devil) and two minor ones, Dragon and Wolf are considered "light" deities" however this does not mean good. Fidenians believe that magic is a divine gift to those devoted in faith and that magic that does not come from deities is unholly or even heretic, since its creation, Fidenia has sought to control all of Enterra under the pretense of controlling moral decadence.
Paxia:
-Sponge.
-Paper.
The island of Paxia is not a nation per se, it is home to two monasteries that are full of people seeking enlightenment, they do not believe in violence and seek to uphold peace above all however the monks are forbidden to go to the mainland or visit other island because of the corrupt ways that other nations have, their magic is merely defensive or artistic.
Game story (so far)
We follow Yaruk (looking for a better name) who is an orphan who was found as a baby in the shore of Paxia and was taken in by the monks. He is now 16 (adult age in Enterra) and has decided to go looking for his real family however he is inexperienced in the ways of the world, having never left Paxia and only learning basic spells from the sponge and paper magic his journey will not be an easy one, his only clue? He was found wrapped in a Peregrinian fabri.
