Welcome to the continent of Theseus, shared by the four factions, Graceland, Airguard, Ecryptia, and The Riverlands. Riverland people, who have settled in the far east, are generally a hated population as they commonly sneak into their neighboring land's territory and either slaughter their livestock or steal their food. Not much is known about these mysterious folk who still praise their gods that supposedly died long ago. These people are based off of the Sumerians. The Airguards, in the north, are a strong noble people who rejoice in the art of war. Based loosely off the Norse religion, these people also still revere their gods who were lost. Ecryptia, based off of Egyptian mythology, is based in the far west. It is a desert land, spotted with very few sources of water. The Vile River runs through it's center, emptying out into the Medairian Sea. Then we have Graceland, to the south. Despite its name, it takes part in just as many wars and fights as Theseus's other three factions. Our young hero, Sarin, hails from this land. Graceland, which is based off of Greek mythology, has all but abandoned the gods they once worshiped, just as their gods abandoned them. Sarin is a Graceland boy living in his small forest town called Agrios. He hunts in it's mountainous forests, and steals from his city's pompous rich. But not for long. Soon Sarin learns of monsters he'd never experienced, and battles a hydra threatening to burn down his home, family, and life. As he nearly dies he's confronted with two things. To join his father, a supposed god, and live, or to reject his father and die. Which would you choose? If he chose to live, would siding with his father in a second war of the gods be any better than dying a swift death from hydra poison? Probably not.

Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)
