Q.Where did the story of MLC take place?
MLC takes place in the World of La Vita. In the heart of the Central region of the Eternal Phoenix Continent or sometimes just mentioned as the Phoenix Continent.
Q. More descriptions on the Continents?
The Eternal Phoenix Continent (Central) which has lush forests, woods and vast plains, numerous rivers, arid deserts and lush lakes. It is where majority of our story will take place. It is filled with numerous smaller kingdoms and nobledoms but the Illois Holy Kingdom is known be the biggest kingdom in the Central Region while the Bastet Queendom is the largest desert kingdom in the desert region.
From the East, we have the Azure Dragon Continent, home of the "Exotic Lands". It has beautiful land formations and lush forests as well as beautiful oceans that produces abundant seafood. Not much known about these rich lands but there are two known kingdoms who traded with those of the Eternal Phoenix Continent; The Kingdom of Ryu and the Ming Empire.
To the West lies numerous island kingdoms that reside in the Sleeping Tortoise Seas, filled with mariners, traders or sea voyagers who makes a living exploring the seas and trading untold riches and items to other continent. The Thalassocratic Kingdom of Silang is one of the first island kingdoms to make contact with the Phoenix Kingdom.
while the South is the Majestic Tiger Continent which is connected to the Central lands by natural land bridges. This is a land filled with more dangerous monsters and only one kingdom is said to have thrived there due to them adapting fast to deal with the unpredictable wildlife. They know to be as wild as the beast they kill and trade.
Up North, is the Mystic Fenrir Continent. It is not usually placed as part of the four continent until recently because of how isolated it was.
Boasting steep mountain formations, steep cliffs and the enchanted Arcana Forest which stretches the borders of the central region. It is home to the more elusive races of magickal beings. A bit west of this land of ice and snow was the Croix Empire, a centuries old federation of northern settlements that allows the practice of slavery contracts.
Depending on how it goes; I may expand and tell the untold stories from the other lands.
Q. Linda is a Beastkin. Are there other beastkins in this world?
Yes. There are several beastkin clans scattered in the world all over. But in the Eternal Phoenix Continent; there are several. Up north, there are a few types of wolf and tiger beastkin. The central region has cats, foxes and dog beastkin while a few birdkin clans made their home alongside the fey, dwarves and elves in the magickal forests of Arcana.
More info later on.
Q. More information on the Fey?
Okay, I can spoil a bit. Okay, A Lot.
So Fey (singular) or the Fae (plural) are magickal beings similar to the Elves but they do have some differences.
Physically; they are tall people with slightly pointy ears but not as long as the elves. The translucent lavender sheen on their pale skin and multifaceted crystal eyes also sets them apart from the elves whose skin possesses a silver or gold sheen.
Unlike the Elves, who prefers to keep themselves isolated from the humans and maintain minimal relations with other magick folks; The Fae are more curious about the changes of the world and from time to time, they would send letters to both humans and their close allies just to see their reaction.
"Mischievous at times, Cunning when needed and Truthful when neccessary" are the epithets that best suit the Fae.
The Fae are also unique because they consider those who have even an eigth of their blood to be family. Never ones to obsess with blood purity; they are known for taking non-Fae folks as mates.
An example of these marriages would be Lady Alaina, rumored to have fey blood and Sir Kain, a fey knight disguised as a human.
That's all for this season! See you in Volume 2, Season 3!
