==Society==
===Antaurb===
Antaurb is one of the two known countries in Ravel. It is less well developed than Casasha, and for cultural reasons- namely, that it is difficult to pay people for results or skills instead of strictly their time- it makes less use of its magic users. Adarin and Zeviana Sorelas are from Antuarb.
===Casasha===
Casasha is one of the two known countries in Ravel. It is nicer and better developed than Antuarb, and makes better use of its mages. Sharabel Swanpennon is currently the heir to the throne of Casasha.
Casasha is a monarch with a unusual succession system. The heir of the throne is chosen by the magical "Heir Crown", which will float if placed on the head of someone deemed worthy. To be worthy, a person has to have, at minimum, gone through a quest to save others for basically selfless reasons. The children of the current monarch get the first try; after that, people from the nobility, or "pennon" families, have a chance, and failing that commoners might have a shot.
==Magic==
Roughly 0.5% of the population of Ravel gains a magical specialty called in their teens. These magic users are known as "ravelers", though their abilities vary by specialty. There is no other known magic in Ravel.
