and this was our first steps in this beautiful world.
Nom du monde ❧ Une planète qui n'est pas la terre. Pourtant elle y ressemble, avec sa surface recouverte par les océans à 70% et ses grands continents aux climats si variés. Sa population totale est impossible à évaluer, toutefois chaque zone semble être habitée, excepté quelques endroits hostiles.
Sa création ❧ Personne ne sait réellement comment ce monde a été créé. Chaque peuple a ses propres croyances et religions. Pourtant tous s'accordent à dire qu'il a été créé par un seul et unique être il y a des millénaires de cela, bien que chacun lui prête un nom différent. Le Dieu aux Mille Visages est un terme qui revient souvent. Mais est-ce seulement la réalité ? Après tout, qui peut le prouver ? On raconte qu'une faction existe dans l'ombre et voue un culte à ce dieu unique, et qu'elle trouve des adeptes partout dans le monde.
Deux soleils et deux lunes.
La magie ❧ Elle existe, mais tout le monde ne peut pas la pratiquer. Certains sont profondément connectés à elle dès la naissance, d'autres passent leur vie à tenter de la dompter. Tenter de la plier à sa volonté est un risque si l'on n'a pas les capacités innées pour la maîtriser. Nombreux sont ceux qui ont péri après un excès de confiance.
Elle n'est pas unique, diffère selon les peuples et les régions. Certaines ethnies y sont naturellement liés, ont d'avantage accès que d'autres qui tentent de créer des outils pour la manier. Certains la voient comme une ennemie et traquent ses pratiquants. Oui, c'est vraiment différent selon l'endroit où on se trouve.
Avec la magie, on peut tout faire. Ou presque. Tout ce qui est magie noire fonctionne, mais avec un retour qui peut s'avérer violent. (cf triple retour karma) La nécromancie existe, bien qu'elle soit interdite et méprisée par la grande majorité des populations.
Les croyances ❧ elles sont différentes selon les peuples évidemment. Les religions sont innombrables bien que l'on discerne certains cultes principaux. Si certains ne mettent pas leur sort entre les mains de divinité supérieures, d'autres leur vouent des cultes ou prient pour elles. Il existe aussi des groupes pratiquant divers sacrifices pour les dieux. Polythéistes, monothéistes, héros élevés au rang de dieux, il y a de tout. C'est ce qui rend ce monde et ceux qui le peuplent si intéressants.
Les créatures ❧ Ahh les créatures, qu'elles sont nombreuses et variées. Certaines sont simples, d'autres capables de magie tandis que d'autres encore sont énormes et dotées de capacités qui dépassent l'entendement. Entre dangers, animaux de compagnie et simple curiosités, on trouve de tout ici.
