## The Fractured Plains

**The Lisborne Bloodlands**

Once called the Rouelis Pasture, named such because since the founding of the Castorian Empire, and subsequently The Noctis Eccleria.

Not a single drop of Castorian blood was spilled in the crusade to conquer the plains for the glory of the royal family.

Now the bloodlands are what remains of the empire's central territory. An abandoned land plagued by roving bands of monsters, the scattered soldiers of the Lisborne Estates, beasts and the occasional Hollow.

A long time before the game started, the only way to cultivate was to survive as long as you could in the ring of creation and leave just before you got mana poisoning. do this once every 2 years and you could reach novice in 20-30 years.

One of the human tribes that lived on the central plains, had a child named Prasma. That went to do this who had a terrible class 0 magic affinity. But he went anyway and nearly killed himself going deep inside the ring. When he came out, he had an amazing class 5 magic affinity. And knowledge of runes.

This was cuz he went in and found the prison of a demon. who offered him power and knowledge in exchange for one million souls within a time limit, and he agreed.

Gained power and returned to his tribe as a novice, took over, then grew to become an adept, and started his crusade. Over the course of 242 years, he conquered the central plains and committed mass murder, sacrificed souls to the demon, and revolutionized life on the plains.

Single-handedly brought the plains out of the bronze age, and into the medieval age of today.

Eventually, he couldn't do it anymore, overcome by guilt, and the time limit came. Due to their contract, the demon took over his body channeling power to cast a spell. killing and claiming the souls of everyone in the city, including and turning it into a place of death, as the now hollowed people, naturally took in mana becoming monsters. thus began the fall of the empire.

Today a hollowed Prasma sits on his throne in Xorus the dead capital, currently at level 86. main body refiner, sub soul refiner. A Noble of the Astral Realm.

His body is being puppeteered by the demon, who is using their connection as a way to bypass his true cage. But unfortunately for it Prasma also made a trap in the capital preventing him from leaving the castle. Although it isn't strong enough to stop the demon from dreamwalking and building cults in his name, preparing to free him from his cage.

**The great Barons of Lis**

There are 7 Barons that ‘share’ control of the central plains, all descended from the remains of the vassals of the Castor royal family.

Of those 5 are called blood barons, due to the now 500 years of war they’ve been waging against each other for control over the central plains area and the ruins of the empire’s capital.

Marolis- Baron Orwell

Durolis- Baron Cesslia

Veiapolis- Baron Lyomaris

Adralis- Baron Resduro

Norelis- Baron Liscenna

Nalera- Baron Daecallin

Port Hermalia- Baron Sardonius

The only way to become a practitioner of the magical arts here, is to either join one of the estates. Or travel thousands of leagues to Provost. Then somehow pay your way through the magic academy. Thus most seeking power join the estates as soldiers, etc. Receive guidance up to level 9, or 10.

The lords of the Lisborn Estates are all at the Elite stage, while the previous lord, the greatfather/mother is in the early levels of the master stage.

## The Three brothers of Kaerheim

Rheinland, Traust, and the Friewald and Keissling conflict.

## Stokkrum, & the Northern Barbarians

Not much is known of the north, except that they were/are considered. Uncouth savages, and once lived in the area now inhabited by Vallinde, and had always lived in conflict with the plainsmen but were chased out by the growing empire of Castoria, after they enacted a ruthless genocide policy of their people, killing even children and babies, in their bid to conquer the fallen coast for themselves.

## Vallinde, and the empire.

With nearly all of the “barbarians” removed, the empire set up a large city to facilitate their next step in expansion. Costaros, the bay city that would launch them into the daggershard sea, and eventually the area that would become the gulf of Oran.

But before those plans were realized, with a half-built city. Disaster struck as the goddess fell from her throne, and the empire shattered.

It wasn't until months later after the chaos had somewhat calmed did news finally spread of the ruins that now stood where the capital of the empire once was.

With the fall of the empire, the foundations cracked, and it became a free for all on who would rule next.

Some headed back to the empire expecting it to rise from the ashes and others remained fighting for power over the fledgling coast
