Introduction

Hello, my name is Andrew im a 17 year old boy and I guess you could call me the protagonist of this little pet project and im here to explain to you the settings of the story so here we go. For the most part the cities are medieval in style. The world is split into four countries, Brelan to the north, Alafore to the east, Calmite to the west, and my country Marxis to the south. I live in a small unnamed village to the far south of the capital city Belmoth, we're a mostly farming village but some choose to be adventurers, they're very rare here and don't last long but all us kids admire them non the less. Adventurers are split into categories Bronze, Iron, Gold, Cobalt, Ruby, Platinum, and the rarest, Titanium currently there is only 4 registered Titanium class adventurers. Brelan is known for its incredibly strong and resilient citizens but also its sheer cold winters. Alafore is small country that's relatively centralized on the map and has turned into more of a hub for caravans to travel through. Calmite, the country of iron, its a mostly dwarven country and is known for mining and having the most advanced military in the world. And Marxis, it isn't known for much except its a magical superpower, you see, magic is very rare in this world however Marxis has about 15 recorded magicians (the other country's only have 4-6). Magicians are treated with extreme respect, admiration, and fear, the art of magic is extremely powerful and even a novice can rival an experienced soldier. Technically every person in the world can learn magic but it's so excruciatingly difficult most stop before they get even the most basic things down, unless you have a natural affinity for an element (fire, water, earth, wind, holy, demonic) its almost impossible to learn magic. And each element has subcategories, as an example, water/illusion, fire/reinforcing. Fire is usually offence/enforcement magic, water is support and earth is the most defensive type of magic and wind is neutral it doesn't specialize in anything, demonic and holy are the most rare magic with demonic being the most offensive but hard to control while holy is offensive/support and is the hardest to learn, non of these are set in stone but these are just the average guidelines. Druids are the only race that can learn healing magic. Ah! I guess I should also explain the different races, the main races consist of elves, dwarves, and humans, there are a few more minor races like druids but most aren't worth mentioning quite yet. Every country has a royal family/ bloodline and also nobles, but nobility is given not by bloodline but by money and influence, say an adventurer becomes very famous and loved its possible for the royal family to anoint him a noble (This is very uncommon) or if you acquire and give enough money to the royal family you will also be anoint you a noble (But this is frowned upon by the general public) 1 gold is 100 silver and 1 silver is 100 bronze. You see in my world many people sign up to be an adventurer through a guild (though its pretty much a sword for hire but alot more loyal than that sounds) in seek of fame or fortune though some do it for fun or for a more personal reason, they are usually hired to clear area's of monster's, hunt certain people (Though it costs a small fortune and a special type of adventurer to make that kinda request) or guard caravans, whatever monsters the adventures miss the city guards usually take care of. Being so far from any major city, no guards or adventurers clear the roads and area's around the village so monster's are very common. But I think that's all the major stuff out of the way so I guess I'll see you soon! -Andrew

(Hi author here, I know kinda a boring first chapter but everything here is common knowledge in the world I really wanted to get all this stuff out of the way so not to bog down and slow the story later on so, sorry about that and if you could leave comments to tell me what you think of the series and how you think I can make it better that would be great but anyway I hope you enjoy the story and the world im creating)
