The Empire of Fate and Blood
Every person worldwide receives a gift from the Fates on their 18th birthday. The Fates are the original 6 magic wielders who fought against the Soulless eons ago. Corrupted creatures that chose the raw power of the gods over their mortal souls. They died out after the Great War of the Realms, or so people think.
On your gift day, you join 1 of 5 communities: The Force, the military in Emperor's fighting colors of black and grey. The ones who are given the relics left by the gods and bond with the mythical beasts of the land. Healers who wear calming colors of Empress' white and gold. Educators who teach the past in silver and purple. Agriculture follows Nemora the earth goddess in colors of browns and greens. Factory varies in many aspects in strict tan. In the Empire of Duskpire, are 3 cities. Ironspire, the heart of nobles, higher-ranking citizens, and royalty reside. Noxford, the heart of the Educators, some higher Agriculture members, and higher-ranking members of Factory. Ashen City is the underbelly of the Empire where the rest of the Factory workers and Agriculture live. The poorest of the poor reside.
Drexel Foster, an Ashen City citizen, an orphan at the age of 7 from an earthquake in the mines. Some say Nemora was angry that day for unknown reasons. Some wonder if the balance of the realms became corrupted. Living with his aunt, Emberlyn Foster, until his gift day, he dreams of one day becoming a high-ranking general in The Force, to hopefully balance dynamics in Ironspire and Noxford. He doesn't know the world is a much bigger and scarier domain. The problems he thought were his main focus will disappear when faced with the possibility of Soulless returning and rumors of the Rebel Empire closing in on Duskspire.
Drex will begin to wonder what is changing in his homeland. Nothing seems to be the same since the Emperor's death. With the Empress doing her best to maintain order. Each moment time passes, more things seem not to be as they are.
