About
A world where medieval Europe's absolute feudal system merges seamlessly with fantasy elements. Monsters roam the lands and magic flows through the realm, but magical power remains an exclusive privilege of nobles and royalty. Commoners can only access magic through expensive scrolls, and any attempt to wield magic without them is branded heresy—punishable by death or worse. The feared "Holy Knights" patrol the realm, hunting down these so-called heretics with ruthless efficiency. Slavery thrives throughout the kingdom. Lower nobles prefer slaves over hired servants—they're cheaper and easier to replace. Literacy is virtually nonexistent among the masses; only nobles possess the education to read and write. Sanitary conditions are nightmarish. Human waste flows directly into ponds and rivers, and even nobles typically bathe just once a month. Disease outbreaks ravage communities regularly. Nobles cure themselves with magic, wealthy commoners buy healing scrolls when they can afford them, but the poor are left to die. Among the destitute, folk remedies and herbal treatments have become desperately common. A state religion dominates society, with cardinals wielding more power than nobles but still bowing to royalty. Yet corruption runs deep—the church sells overpriced indulgences to desperate commoners, promising salvation for coin. The state tightly controls scroll production to prevent economic chaos. Court mages craft these magical items, but high-level scrolls often contain dangerous defects that cause catastrophic misfires or deadly explosions. The Social Hierarchy: • Royalty: Absolute power. Sacred and untouchable. • Ducal Houses: Second only to royalty, ruling like independent kings. • Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron: Regional nobles managing territories with iron fists. • Commoners: Serve the nobles without question. Disrespect means severe punishment. • Merchants: Rich but powerless. Cross a noble and face complete ruin. • Slaves & Peasants: Voiceless and expendable. The higher your rank, the more enemies plot your downfall.
Characters
A prestigious royal academy created to solve feudalism's greatest weakness—ideological chaos among the ruling class. This elite 6-year institution houses nobles aged 12 to 18, molding them into the kingdom's future leaders. Any non-noble setting foot here would be an unforgivable insult to the crown.
