what we heard, know and believe

ZISK ; for warriors, lovers, magicians and rulers

NORTH : lands of wealth, prosper and heart of culture. All political ventures take place here in this piece of land. Non-magical people reside here and are governed by the Kings and Queens. Only one family, bloodline, has been responsible. No war or invasion can ever replace the royal bloodline. North is in charge of governing the rest of the realms in terms of political adverbs and wealth too. All traders and merchants from abroad come to this land to negotiate dealings. Locals have ancestors who are from other realms. This is the heart of Zisk.

WEST : City of love and ice. Time works two days earlier than North here. They keep the realm closed. Animals and their masters reside here. They are trading with the North and are good allies. No rules here, all are friends of love. Snows all year. The citizens of the West are ice-hearted. Their appearances differ from the rest of the realms. They speak a different language. Noble families are capable of making magic but very rarely. When they leave the West to travel to other realms, their white hair and snowy appearance disappear and they usually blend with the race of people.

SOUTH : City of warriors. True war planners and born soldiers. Protectors, winners and never weak at bones. They are good wood makers, fixers, and keepers. Their friendship is to heart, never betrays, never strays. They are life-givers for the ones they love and are responsible for. They have scars, a mark of their birth and bravery for their homeland. They never forget, they never take revenge. They console, they burn the pain into strength. They wait, they are made to recreate. Independent children of the sun.

EAST : Land of magicians. Dark magic resides here. Hopes are buried with dearest friends under the ashes of the ground. The once destroyed land by the rulers of North after the realm break caused them to separate and never become the talk of the city. Despised by all realms and people, East is a forbidden piece of dead land where only dedicated people to the chronics and oracles stay. The biggest, the most important oracles were written by the Eastern Prophecy makers. They are map, watch, clock makers too. They are the best at healing yet cursing. Easterners were known for being healers until dark rulers overpowered them. Still, it's believed, along with the dark magic, some healers reside there too. The most magical, beautiful things stay in the East realm. They are unseen to the rest of the realms.

THE CURVE : The hidden throne. Unseen, unheard, and untalked of. They say there is a world beyond it, with everyone's fate written upon the skies of the curve. It's somewhere between the Arch amidst Zisk's all four realms. It's been five hundred years that none has summoned the fables of the curve, for the forbidden King has been cursed down to ashes and will only be written upon summoning.

READER'S GUIDE OF ASH'S ARROWS FRACTURE AND GLOSSARY

Zekh : a soft piece of cloth usually worn by the members of the royal family ( women ) in which the fabric is used to drape across the shoulders. These are long capes worn mostly when wearing pants and soft upper wear. Zekhs have long flowy, fitted, or half-quartered sleeves. When women travel out of the KIngdom, the popular Zekh comes in handy. Locals wear Zekhs too but they are much more simple and much like a cloak while upper castes like adding jewelry to it and the royal bloodline prefer or are expected to wear foremost the gorgeous kinds of Zekhs.

Anef : Coronation wears for women ( royal bloodline ) in which the chest is made of pearls and rich, rare stones. The coronation pants are the addition, made from pure velvet, the same piece if used for the sleeves.

The tradition was broken off after the eighty-first King came to power, having no more women candidates for the crown after all seven born sons of Zisks were prepared for the throne.

:: welcome to the lands of Zisk,
where only the brave ones survive,
May all the love from the dearest ones,
and the adventures of the
wildest bouns make you thrive.

May your blades be sharpened, for
the war that awaits your friend's bury.
