Lich Slayer Corps

The **Lich Slayer Corps** is an organisation that was founded in **The Resurgence era** roughly 3000 years ago. Its intention is to defend the people of Fargia against the Liches.

There are roughly 15,000 Lich slayers within the corps, however this isn't the best estimate as there are other branches that don't go by 'Lich slayers' but still work under them/alongside them and do the same job, which is killing Liches.

## **Structure**

### **Joining**

In order to join The Lich Slayer corps, an individual must be assessed by a Lich slayer that is chosen by The Cyclical Daitacs to do so. Generally, it will be a higher ranking lich slayer, but if chosen by the Cyclical Daitacs, even a low ranking member can assess an Individual. In special cases, people can be recommended into joining the Lich slayers by another existing Lich Slayer based on their feats, background etc. Due to this, they wouldn't need to be assessed like other people who aren't recommended.

Once an Individual is a part of The Lich Slayer Corps, it is compulsory to get your weapon exactly remade out of Mavium (one of 3 materials used by the Lich Slayers, though the only one offered to new recruits). This is done so that you can apply ambition strings onto your weapon, which will hugely benefit you in battle against Liches. The three different materials vary in the amount of ambition strings that you can bond them to.

* **Mavium** - 2 Strings - Obtained when first joining the Lich Slayers

* **Jacqua** - 3 Strings - Obtained by either finding it or becoming a Harvest Slayer - Can be infused with other properties

* **Vental** - 4 Strings - Only given if you get to Triple Star Prestige - Can be infused with other properties

### **Salary**

As for payments, Lich slayers get paid with each completed mission that they are assigned from The Lich Slayer Corps. So their payments can vary from very little to very high depending on the mission difficulty and duration.

### **Ranks**

Members of The Lich Slayer Corps are separated into 10 ranks. Lich slayers move up the ranks through their efficiency whilst performing missions and if their performance is up to expectations whilst performing the mission, you will be rewarded with a higher rank. The ranks are as follows:

***Novice Slayer → Proven Slayer → Proficient Slayer → Elite Slayer → King Slayer → Harvest Slayer → Star Prestige → Double Star → Triple Star → Cyclical Daitac***

## **Equipment**

### **Ores**

**The Lich Slayers Corps** have **three ores** that are mentioned throughout the story, which is Mavium, Jacqua and Vental. As soon as an individual becomes a **Lich Slayer**, The Lich Slayers must get their weapon exactly remade with Mavium. Having your blade remade with **Mavium** allows an individual to apply two **ambition strings** onto the weapon. This makes it so Trinkets can be put onto them, which aids individuals hugely in fights. If you reach the **Harvest Slayer** rank, you will have access to a more efficient ore called **Jacqua**; you can also find this ore within the world of Fargia. This ore allows one extra ambition string to be put onto the weapon. It's also known that it can be fused with other properties. Finally, The highest value ore that can be gifted from The Lich Slayer Corps is **Vental**. This ore is better than Jacqua as four ambition strings can be applied to it, but it is **only gifted** from The Lich Slayer Corps once reaching Triple star prestige. Similarly to Jacqua, this ore can also be infused with other properties. It is also assumed that each ore is itself stronger than its predecessor.

## **History**

Before the year **3726 PCW** (Post Continental War) the time between years 300-3725 PCW were known as the **"Resurgence"** or **"Great Resurrection"** Era. Just before this period of time was the end of the Doom Era, but as all of humanity has lost hope - 4 geniuses emerged almost out of nowhere. Almost as if they were nothing less than a blessing from the gods. It's rather ironic in fact as their core beliefs were that humanity's own stupidity had left them in the Doom Era for so long and that - rather than sitting around and praying to the same gods who had failed them - humans should invest more time into performing deep studies into technology and science. They spent their entire lives trying to gain as much knowledge about these three things as possible, learning absolutely everything they could have in the time span of their mortality. Their advancements and beliefs re-lit the nearly smothered candle of hope that mankind required, providing the next 100+ generations with the power to begin fighting off what had become the incredibly dominant liches. Their true names were never known to the world, as they all preferred to remain anonymous and promote individuality, though once having met one another and collaborating together they chose to identify as the titles of: "C", "B", "W" and "T". The, arguably, most vital of discoveries was made by "W"; one which is still commonly used to this day exactly in the same way as W had intended. The "ambition strings" have been common practice for any Lich Slayer to use, it being completely unheard of for any Lich Slayer to fight strong liches without them. Their name was given as a sign of humanity's hope to still fight back, serving as the key reason for why the human race's existence hasn't been swept up by the winds of time and why they can even still compete with any other species. The ambition strings function by attaching to some specific materials permanently, not even able to be ripped off by the strongest of men or machines or cut by the sharpest blades, and hanging off of them. Once attached, "trinkets" from powerful liches can be applied to the opposite end of the string and their "power" absorbed from them into the material. The exact specifics of how the strings work are completely unknown and any attempts at replicating them have always failed - only W understood their inner machinations and mass produced them in the millions to ensure the survival of future generations. From what researchers have gathered, different amount of strings can hang from different weapons, and some trinkets are incompatible with certain weapons or are too strong for them. As well as this, other species cannot wield the powers the strings transfer - only able to use the weapon regularly. In the modern day there is no research put into understanding the strings as a thousand years of it resulted in nothing but wasted effort, resources and time.
