Start Features
Towards the end of writing the setting, I decided to try an experimental start option for myself: I will give players a week to vote and thus choose the faction they want to be part of (start with). Depending on the twists in the plot, you may still have to interact with certain factions and events, but at least the initial part will largely depend on this choice. It should be noted that I will only finish most of the work after the voting is over, so it may take some time.
To cast your vote, select nine options that you like the most and distribute the degree of your preference from one to nine (i.e., votes must be as follows: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – without repetitions or omissions), all others will automatically receive 0.

Larian Republic
The Reymiian Empire, which once represented the pinnacle of military power, scientific progress, culture, and wealth, vanished without a trace and forever in a whirlpool of unfathomable intrigues, grandiose ambitions, and shocking discoveries. Only shadows cast by its few remaining fragments remain of the once great state: the Grand Duchy of Darkiria, the Larian Republic, the Nihon Empire, the free city of Eren, Akkerwald and western Brightwin, Alait, the Enclave, as well as the mysterious and terrible Eos.
The Larian Republic, known today as the scientific and economic center of the continent, was founded as a result of a victorious but simultaneously devastating war fought by an alliance of Larian, Darkiria, and Nihon against the tyranny of Tiaria Reym, Emperor of the Reymiian Empire. When victory was achieved by the coalition leaders, they agreed that they should forget about the empire and proclaim the independence of the territories under their control. For all those involved in discussing this issue, making such a decision was not easy, but due to many positive factors in its favor, they eventually had to approve it. On that day, all participants of the war went their own way, and in Larian's case, the path had been prepared in advance — the new government utilized a series of decrees drawn up by the previous duke several years earlier. According to one of them, should the empire embark on a path of tyranny or should the duchy have any other reason to secede from it, it was to become an independent and sovereign republic. Attached to this decree were a constitution and a government operational scheme written by him. Larian Twice admitted that the concept was far from perfect and that only time could refine these ideas; however, he insisted on three main elements upon which this country should be built — the personal, economic, and political freedom of its citizens. The members of the new government took these ideas to heart and did everything in their power to bring them to life.

Government
Currently, the dominant political force in the republic is the faction of Viridian T. Larian, the only son of the last Duke of Larian and, consequently, a man very popular with the people. Despite his very young age, Viridian proved himself to be a highly competent and charismatic individual, earned the trust of voters, and rose to the position of Chancellor of the Republic despite numerous attempts by opponents to prevent him from doing so. Some did not want to see a descendant of the ruling Larian dynasty in power, others considered it unacceptable to entrust such important powers to a boy, while others simply disagreed with his views or did not support his initiatives. But all these attempts proved futile — through Twice's efforts, the transformation of Larian and the complete abandonment of the class system occurred so cleanly that the citizens of the republic had no reason to feel animosity toward him or his descendants; on the contrary, many idolized Viridian as the successor to Twice's work.

Armed Forces
As one of Sonata Reym's steps toward centralizing the empire, the regional army of the duchy was integrated into the imperial army and, through Larian Twice's efforts, acquired a more professional and significantly modernized form. Ironically, during the civil war, Larian soldiers had to take up arms against the empire they once swore to protect. Nevertheless, since then, the armed forces of the Larian Republic have remained a force that all its neighbors must reckon with — Larian's well-trained and first-class equipped army is competent enough to repel any external threat.
In recent days, however, the country's army has begun to face criticism from many citizens involved in politics. This is, of course, caused by increased taxes for the maintenance and expansion of the army, as well as the actions of the current Chancellor who, according to critics, uses the army to satisfy his own ambitions under the pretext of protecting the republic from external enemies.

Conflicts
The Larian Republic is the only country in the world where airships are produced and operated, and also the only country besides Ixia officially engaged in the production of ephemeral weapons. In this regard, Larian is the direct heir to the Reymiian Empire in the fields of science and high-tech production; however, the high cost of extracting and transporting necessary resources always created great obstacles for the republic in this direction. This was primarily caused by the greed of the government of Akkerwald and western Brightwin, which set prohibitively high taxes for using their borders to transport resources, as well as the unwillingness of Alait and the Enclave to cooperate. Green erinium could be forgotten entirely, as the areid territories rich in it passed under the control of Tanarsis, who did not wish to deal with the republic. The situation changed sharply after Viridian T. Larian came to power — the young Chancellor issued an ultimatum to his opponents, and when they refused to accept it, he used more brutal methods to achieve his desired results. Part of the Brightwin lands and territories of northern Areid were occupied by Larian troops, while the snake-people who refused to make contact faced a nasty surprise from the sky — as if paying tribute to the distant past, Larian troops began bombing snake-people settlements. The non-humans were unable to take any action against such an opponent, which forced them deeper into forests and swamps, only periodically launching attacks on Larian detachments engaged in resource extraction. As a result of these actions by the Chancellor, the republic gained access to everything necessary for further growth, but at the same time acquired a bad reputation.

Renaissance Faction
The Renaissance faction is an unofficial association of aristocratic families of the empire from various corners, whose members see their task as returning the empire to its former greatness. They strive for the restoration of old customs, borders, culture, and traditional relationships between a suzerain and his vassals. Naturally, all this also includes a return to a class society and the restoration of titles that were illegally stripped from aristocratic families. The Republic, as the strongest, freest, and most economically stable fragment of the empire, appears to them as the ideal place to turn these ideals into reality.
It was fully expected that from the very beginning, members of "Renaissance" did not get along with the republic's authorities, which only worsened after Viridian became Chancellor.

Larian Academy of Magic
Since the Larian Republic was well-protected from external influence and characterized by a stable economy and order after the end of the civil war, this country became one of the few places in the former empire's territory where an environment favorable for conducting magical research and training new specialists in this field remained. As a result, many wizards moved to Larian, where an academy of magic was soon founded.
Over time, the Larian Academy of Magic became very well known throughout the republic and enjoyed great popularity among the youth, but it also featured high requirements for its students, meaning selection here was always very strict and teachers were stern.
The Larian Academy of Magic has a certain influence in the republic's government and is currently opposing the reforms of the acting Chancellor.

Cult of Flame
The Cult of Flame is a rare example of the intertwining of Reymiian and Tanarsian cultures, representing a mixture of animism and Enclessian faith. The central figure of this cult is the deity Alarion. He is depicted as a formidable-looking dragon, which fits his image as an unsleeping and merciless deity. The main virtues of this religion are vigilance and purity of mind from vice.
For many centuries, the Cult of Flame had no influence, and its number of adherents was more than modest; however, recent events in the empire's territory allowed it to gain greater significance. According to the beliefs of the followers of this faith, all the empire's troubles were caused by its inhabitants turning their backs to the light and letting darkness into their hearts.
Since the cult is popular among some groups of republic citizens, its leadership managed to achieve certain privileges and powers. For example, members of the cult search for and eliminate all "unclean" — those people who have been subjected to the effects of demonization and other specific changes.
Currently, the cult is in openly hostile relations with the current Chancellor of the Republic, as the latter wishes to ban their activities.

Dolls
Contact between Enclessia and Tiaral opened a number of new opportunities and potential for mutual cooperation for both sides; one such event was the arrival in Enclessia, and then Larian, of Professor Gilbert von Adels hofen, a man who worked on the team of Siegfried von Eyrasburg, King of Tanigon. Being deeply impressed by Enclessian technologies, Gilbert nevertheless did not consider the research of his homeland — which he had spent his entire life on — to be inferior to them. Moreover, he believed that something greater could be achieved by merging the fruits of scientific developments from both continents and repeatedly approached the republic's government with his ideas; however, all his requests and arguments remained unheard until Viridian, the current Chancellor, came to power. The young leader proved very interested in the foreigner's proposed ideas and soon introduced him to Gailardia Reymford.
The new project was based on Tanigon puppets and aimed at creating artificial humans. Unlike puppets, dolls — as they were called in the early stages of development — were more complex in their construction and required significantly more resources. As a result, mass production was not possible, but their potential was much greater.
Appearance
The appearance of dolls is identical to human, with the caveat that it was created by skilled masters and therefore has no flaws inherent to nature's creations. Rare materials and modern technologies make dolls practically indistinguishable from real people.
Construction
The structure of dolls is a very complex clockwork mechanism with thousands of different parts involved in their operation. At the same time, their construction is largely similar to human, and many parts perform the same functions as human organs. For example, the organs of sight and hearing, although different in construction, serve to perform the same tasks as human ones.
The head frame is the strongest part of the dolls' construction, housing the "logical hemisphere" and the "psyche hemisphere." The first is responsible for analytical abilities, decision-making, etc., while the second is responsible for character and emotions, and stores memory. For correct functioning, the operation of both hemispheres is necessary; however, in some situations, it is possible to disable the "psyche sphere" — for example, in cases where a doll refuses to follow instructions for some reason.
In the center of the chest is the "central core" — an exceptionally rare Alait stone refined by Tanigon research and transformed into one of the key components of dolls. The operation of the core is necessary to "wind up" the mechanisms inside the doll; therefore, if it fails for any reason, the doll will be unable to move or think.
Models
Doll models differ depending on the configuration and type of central core. There are 6 models in total.
1. Type: destructive
Core: red
Tasks: dominance in combat.
2. Type: analytical
Core: blue
Tasks: management, consulting.
3. Type: stealthy
Core: purple
Tasks: reconnaissance, sabotage, assassinations.
4. Type: free
Core: green
Tasks: jack of all trades.
5. Type: creative
Core: gold
Tasks: leadership, art, science, etc.
6. Type: experimental
Core: black
Tasks: functions of models 1-3
Reaction
The development of dolls was conducted in the strictest secrecy, and therefore republic residents only learned about them after the successful completion of the project. Unfortunately for many, at one of the "Reymford" company presentations, it became known that production of dolls for private use was not planned — they were all intended for state service. One way or another, the majority of Larian citizens reacted positively to the new invention, which once again raised Viridian's popularity and strengthened his power. Followers of the teachings of the Cult of Flame and "Ikigai," however, were not happy with this novelty, which subsequently led to repeated assassination attempts on all development participants. One such attempt ended successfully; as a result, in 788, the airship carrying the Chancellor, the head of the "Reymford" company, and the professor from Tanigon went off course and crashed into the western mountain range. On that day, Gailardia Reymford and Gilbert von Adels hofen lost their lives, and Viridian T. Larian was seriously wounded.

The Nihon Empire

Following Nihon's secession from the Reimian Empire and Shiratori Kyosuke's ascent as emperor, the country set out on an entirely different course. The new government's reforms aimed to preserve strong local traditions while, at the same time, adopting the level of freedoms that had been established during the final years of the Reimian Empire. In the emperor's view, a high standard of living, broad personal freedom, and the contentment of the citizens with their lives were essential for the country's development and the forging of a stronger, more resilient civilization. In addition, once the situation had stabilized, the government began investing huge sums in education and medicine, encouraging citizens' interest in modern culture and science, while not neglecting the armed forces needed to defend the country and its inhabitants from external foes and the oni that still remained within. The bearing of swords One of the most controversial decisions of the new government was a very aggressive promotion of sword-bearing and training with them — almost every school opened its own dojo, blacksmiths were offered favorable conditions for doing business, and the beauty of the martial arts was glorified in books and drawings, and so on and so forth. According to the emperor, Nihon is a land of warriors, and swords are their soul; every inhabitant of this realm was expected to master this weapon, for he must be able not only to defend himself, his home, and his country, but also to cultivate in himself all the qualities required of a true samurai. Origin Access to Nihonese skills, +2% to base melee damage per point of Agility, +1% to base ranged damage per point of Perception, +(Wisdom) to Will and Endurance checks, +3 to movement speed. Moriya The city of Moriya, which by the year 762 had become the economic center of Nihon within the Reimian Empire, was influenced by the former empire more than anywhere else and, as a consequence, developed along a path somewhat different from the rest of the country. Today Moriya is the hub of domestic and foreign trade, the heart of Nihonese science, the birthplace of numerous inventions, the source of modern fashion, an endless generator of popular-culture items, and much more. Origin Access to Nihonese skills, +1 SP, +1 SK, +1 SA, experience gain rate is twice as high.

Servants of Munesige should not turn away from conflicts, but they must remain on the side of justice. Servants of Munesige must not go against the will of the Nihonese imperial house. Origin: access to Nihonese skills, access to sohei abilities. Temple of Yamashiro Servants of Yamashiro must lead an ascetic way of life.

Kisaragi Kisaragi Kanbei founded this company after Nihon's secession from the Reimian Empire and his first return home in several decades. In the past, the Kisaragi family had been one of numerous yakuza clans in the territory of Nihon, but this came to an end after the country's capitulation to Reim. The clan's members unsurprisingly resisted the invaders, but Kanbei saw the enemy's undeniable strength and understood that using brute force or any tricks against him would be pointless. He therefore made a painful decision and disbanded the clan, to spare his charges from Reimian retribution. Many clans, including some members of his own, sooner or later joined the onryo movement, but Kanbei and a few of his closest henchmen departed for Reim in order to understand what it was that made that country so strong. There Kanbei would start a new business and, over many years, study Reimian culture and technology. Upon returning home after the end of the civil war, Kanbei's first order of business was to rally his old subordinates and take the first steps toward founding his company, which specialized in the production of high-tech weaponry. In this way he sought, simultaneously, to restore his family's influence and give the country something that would allow it to stand against external foes in the future. Naturally, this was not easy, and the construction of equipment and the training of specialists alone took more than ten years. By that time Kanbei had grown quite old, and it was obvious that he himself would never live to see the fruits of his labor. So he decided to leave the company to his great-granddaughter Maya, whom he had taught engineering from an early age and then sent to study in Larian. Kinetic weapons Despite her very young age, Kisaragi Maya turned out to be not only an effective company director but a true genius in engineering. Her talented mind gave Nihon many useful discoveries and inventions, but the foremost of them, without a doubt, is kinetic weaponry — a project based on the jarlian firearms and ephemeral weapons, but differing in its principle of operation. In terms of effectiveness, the new type of weapon is on par with ephemeral weaponry, and the low cost of producing ammunition has made it even more attractive to operate. Steel New steel-production technologies developed by the Kisaragi company allowed the Nihon Empire to overtake even the Camellians, which let them improve the quality of their own products and, at the same time, boost exports to other countries. Shipbuilding Modern Nihonese ships differ from Reimian ones — they are, as a rule, sturdier and larger, but considerably slower and less maneuverable. In terms of armament, both are roughly on the same level — ephemeral and kinetic guns are equally devastating to naval machinery. As with kinetic weapons, the chief advantage of these ships over their Reimian counterpart is the relative cheapness of the fuel they use. Origin Access to Nihonese skills; kinetic weapons, the cost of learning the "kinetic weapons" specialization abilities is reduced by 1; +40% to accuracy when using this type of weapon; specialist perk; +15 to Intellect.

The Grand Duchy of Darkiria

After the end of the civil war and the empire's splintering, Duke Beryl S. Tessen and his close friend Count Jin Elenheim directed all their strength toward reinforcing the duchy and improving the lives of their subjects — even amid the crisis that had struck, that is, they kept doing exactly what they had been doing before. The situation People in Darkiria do not live in wealth, but competent and benevolent leadership does everything to make their lives easier — short working hours and comfortable conditions of labor. The nobles themselves live side by side with commoners, so class stratification is weakly pronounced. A far greater problem for the inhabitants of Darkiria, both commoners and nobles, is attacks by the undead, demons, and werewolves, but the government, the "Frozen Heart," the rangers, and the wandering swordmasters neutralize this threat to a certain degree. Origins a) Perk "Endurance"; northern equipment. b) +70 HP; c) +25 to Charisma, +25 to Wisdom.

The Way of the Sword Darkiria had always been renowned for its swordsmen and its unique school of the art of wielding this weapon, but the recent events in the Reimian Empire forced the swordmasters to reconsider their philosophy and approach their craft differently. Now they wander the former shards of the empire, fight the most dangerous of foes, hone their mastery, and shield the weak from attacks by the strong. Way of life Followers of the "Way of the Sword" give themselves over to their calling with their whole being and devote their entire life to it: only in this way can they become true swordmasters. Any obstacle they meet on their path they regard as yet another opportunity to plumb new depths of mastery. Origin Access to "Way of the Sword" abilities.

Frostreim The fortress of Frostreim and all the territories surrounding it long served as the empire's shield against monstrous beasts. In addition, under the leadership of Luciola Reim, one of the daughters of Emperor Olivius Lapis Reim, new weapons were tested here and the empire's elite units were trained. By today, Frostreim's situation has changed, but only slightly. The cult After the climactic battle with her brother Tiarius, Luciola fell into a deep coma and, over time, her body began to be covered with rime, until it was entirely encased in ice, as if to shield the snow queen from any outside influence. All of this was obviously a manifestation of her nature as a bearer of a fragment of fate, but the warriors of Frostreim who followed her took it in a more religious vein and soon began to worship her and follow her ideals (as they understood them). Years later, this cult would come to be known as the "Frozen Heart." Origin Access to the "Frozen Heart" conviction.

Rangers The Rangers of the North are an independent organization that took shape shortly after the end of the civil war and the subsequent emergence of Eos. The rangers are engaged in protecting the duchy's inhabitants from attacks and eliminating potential threats. Hierarchy || warden -> senior ranger -> ranger -> junior ranger -> neophyte || The structure of the ranger organization is fairly simple: the warden directs all operations and manages the rangers' affairs; the senior rangers, in essence serving as squad captains and holding a high level of authority, assist him in this. Full-fledged rangers are professionals distinguished by great experience who have been granted permission to act alone, but have not attained (or have not sought) command authority. Junior rangers are the backbone of the organization, the majority of its members. Neophytes are the newcomers. Origin Access to ranger abilities.

The Reimian Empire (Akkervald and western Brightwin)

The government of these lands continues to regard its state as the continuation of the Reimian Empire, and its monarch as its rightful ruler and heir. The reigning emperor is Vagael Reim (birth name: Vagael L. Morr; the family name is not recognized outside the country). The emperor is a man of weak character and meager talents, though very arrogant. Apparently, he cares little for the affairs of state, and the only thing he wants is to hold onto the throne for himself and his heirs. His advisors are greedy, power-hungry people, incompetent in their work. As a consequence, all subordinate officials soon came to resemble the same rabble, since honest people are simply swept from these posts by those more cunning, brazen, and unceremonious. The situation in the country Destitution brought on by the fruits of the civil war and the government's incompetence, the absence of justice, epidemics of old and new diseases, attacks by demons, the undead, bandits, and monsters — this is what life looks like in Akkervald and western Brightwin. Internal relations The government, although it has armed forces at its disposal, is under constant pressure from the numerous criminal groups within the country. At first the authorities tried to get rid of them by any means, but in the end they concluded that it would be simpler to come to an arrangement with them. As a result, the imperial council leaves these organizations alone and lets them do whatever they please in the territories allotted to them. Origin +5 SK

Orion The name of this influential group comes from the name of the city where its headquarters are located — the city of Orion. What sets them apart from the other bandit gangs of Akkervald and Brightwin is an organization and professional training unusual for bandits. Besides the usual activities of such organizations, Orion also protects the people living in the territories under its control from attacks by monsters and other groups. In exchange, the inhabitants pay them tribute. Naturally, if the members of Orion cannot obtain consent, they take what they are owed by force. Leader The central figure of Orion, its founder and leader, is Cassandra Dochire, whom her numerous followers respectfully address as "General" and "Ma'am," and whom close friends familiarly call "Cassie." In the past, the future head of Orion had to live under very strict conditions for those times. Her father, a baron of Akkervald, demanded unrealistic achievements of her and placed hopes upon her that were impossible to satisfy. When he was not satisfied with her results, the young Reimian woman was subjected to cruel and varied punishments — both physical and psychological. As a result, Cassie always strove to be the best at everything, which in turn developed many talents in her and, during her years at the Imperial Military Academy, allowed her to become one of the empire's most promising students. The civil war, however, became an insurmountable wall for her career. During that conflict she fought on the side of Tiarius Reim and was gravely wounded during the siege of the capital. In the end, this war took from her a future, a despotic family, and one eye, but, together with that, it gave her freedom. Recovering from her wounds, the General began to gather like-minded people around herself — her comrades-in-arms, subordinates, academy friends, local residents. And although she was not known for a pleasant personality, the strength of her character and iron will inspired in those around her respect and the desire to follow her. Initiation process Anyone who wishes to join Orion must swear loyalty to the organization's cause and prove their courage by tasting demon blood. Origin Access to Orion abilities. +1-3 to demon points.

Treasure Seekers The Treasure Seekers style themselves as daring adventure-lovers famous for their daring, but in fact they are nothing other than a gang of bandits whose main occupation is looting. Methods The Treasure Seekers are not distinguished by good organization or combat effectiveness, so they prefer to attack defenseless targets or else search through ruins and the sites of great battles. Hideout The number of Treasure Seekers is very large, but most of them are dispersed across the territory of the former empire, and they rarely gather into large groups. It is known that they have their own headquarters, but its location is known only to a few officers. Ringleaders Among the numerous members of this organization there are more than a dozen officers in possession of the gang's secrets, but besides that little is known. According to unverified rumors, the Treasure Seekers have a sponsor — Vanir Hessendark, the leader of a criminal organization with a long history. Origin When searching fallen foes, the character has a chance to find an additional item or money (chance equal to Perception). One additional starting item.

Big Fist Big Fist is the name of a tribe of ogres that settled in the east of Brightwin. This cruel and stupid folk was created by the alchemists of Laithia to be used in the civil war against the coalition forces, but troubles that arose prevented them from doing so. The ogres themselves subsequently fled from their creators and settled in neighboring territories. Appearance To a person unfamiliar with these creatures, all ogres look the same, just like monkeys. They differ from one another primarily by the color of their skin — some are green, some brown, some blue, and so on. The height of ogres reaches four meters, and as a consequence they are very strong and hardy, though not very agile. Hierarchy The ogres obey the strongest male of the tribe; whoever is stronger gives the orders (however primitive they may be), and he gets all the females, the best equipment, and the food. Way of life Since the ogres were created as living weapons, they know nothing but war and violence, which makes it practically impossible to come to any arrangement with them. Origin +8 beast points, +2 demon points. Cost of Strength is half as much, the limit is three times higher. -30% to evasion. Intellect cannot exceed 5 points.

Soul Snatchers Bandit-mages may seem laughable to some, since the arcane sciences are rarely associated with banditry, but the victims of the Soul Snatchers never found anything to laugh about. These sorcerers practice essential magic, destructive and very dangerous by its very nature. The Soul Snatchers attack villages and lone travelers, taking from their victims everything down to the last thread, and more. Origin Access to Soul Snatcher abilities.

Fort Ordegaard For the past two decades, Fort Ordegaard and the surrounding territories of eastern Akkervald have had to serve as the shield of the empire's remains against invasions by hordes of undead, demons, and monsters from the east. The warriors of Ordegaard must stay vigilant constantly, and for all these years a healthy sleep has been unknown to them, for battle awaits them every day. Command The current commander of Ordegaard is Wei Guai Tao, one of Larian Twist's trusted men. At first, the Reimians did not even consider the possibility of appointing this man to the highest post of Ordegaard, for not only was he a foreigner who had nothing tying him here, he was also one of the few who derived true enjoyment from combat, which repelled many of his comrades-in-arms who longed for a swift end to this war. Nevertheless, his great martial mastery and competence in the affairs of war gradually won the respect and trust of many of Ordegaard's soldiers. As a result, when the time came to appoint a new commander, it was he who was chosen. This was also partly due to the fact that Wei Guai Tao always held human lives in high regard, considering them — under these conditions — an irreplaceable resource, which at times led to numerous situations in which the foreigner had to pull soldiers out of mortal danger. Current position The future of Ordegaard, and of Akkervald behind it, looks bleak. The number of the empire's warriors diminishes with every day, while the enemy's strength does not wane. The country's government ignores Ordegaard's pleas to send reinforcements or at least provisions and resources, and the destructive activity of the criminal groups only worsens an already dire situation. If attacks from the east continue at the same intensity, Wei Guai Tao expects that Ordegaard will fall within the next three or four years, and perhaps even sooner if, for any reason, the enemy becomes more numerous than before. Origin +50% to the increase of parameters and characteristics from passive ability bonuses.

Event Horizon Event Horizon is a mysterious organization engaged in the search for the secrets of the past, rare technologies, and information of varying significance and importance. Its members draw on the organization's rich arsenal to expand their own capabilities and to prevent important knowledge from falling into the wrong hands, lest what the eastern alchemists' research led to be repeated. Hierarchy At the top of Event Horizon's hierarchy sits the grandmaster, who has access to all of the organization's secrets and wields all possible authority. As a rule, candidates for this post are appointed by the acting grandmaster, which allows the heirs of this title to prepare themselves for such responsibility in advance. After the grandmaster come the ten Keepers — specialists in various fields, responsible for the functioning of the organization. The Keepers sit on Event Horizon's supreme council together with the grandmaster, where they share information, discuss various matters, and arrive at their optimal resolution. The next tier of Event Horizon are the captains of divisions of various directions — research, scientific, combat, and so on. All of them, depending on the type of activity, report to the corresponding Keeper. Agents The search for new information and lost technologies, or their elimination, is carried out by agents — well-trained specialists equipped with a rich store of knowledge and competence in their work. As a rule, they work in pairs, but there are exceptions. Origin +500-5000 XP and one of the following: 1. An enhancer with random augments; 2. A unique compass; 3. Two additional starting items.

Revenants The Revenants, also known as the "Children of Chaos," are a movement that arose across the expanses of Alait, afflicted by treacherous intrigue and colossal calamity. The followers of this movement have no center, and each interprets its ideas in their own way. A few things, however, can be stated almost for certain — they recognize no one's authority, live for the present day, and strive to gain power in whatever form it takes, for in their understanding it is the key to true freedom. Revenants are, as a rule, loners and skilled warriors in their chosen mode of combat, but other examples exist: a man known by the moniker "Sovereign" counts himself among this movement and, at that, rules a certain parcel of land in southern Akkervald. There, the people live by laws he has written and serve him. Most Revenants despise the very concept of a state, but in the "Sovereign's" case, his power and his own freedom are rule itself. Origin Unique abilities (the player writes the base concept; the numbers are set by the GM).

Order of the Last Emperor The Order of the Last Emperor was founded by the surviving members of the "Imperial Liberation Front" after the overthrow of Tiarius Reim. They do not recognize the current authority of Akkervald and Brightwin, and they view the rulers of all other shards of the empire as traitors. The defeat in the civil war caused many among the losers to lose the meaning of life and to continue their existence for the sake of dead ideals. Leaders The order has no single leader; instead, this function is performed by an assembly of veterans from among those close to the emperor — his advisors and those who worked for him directly. Objectives Terror, sabotage, war. Origin An additional perk; An additional attack; +50% to final Health; +3 to movement speed; +25% to critical damage chance.

Alait

The Kingdom of Alait had always striven to maintain neutrality and existed in peace and harmony for many centuries, but the collapse of the Reimian Empire did not spare it either. Sabotage attacks by followers of the religious movement "Ikigai," assassinations, hypnosis, destruction, and much else — all of this became the everyday reality for the kingdom's inhabitants. The situation reached its climax when the penultimate of the possible heirs to the Alait throne was eliminated, leaving only Sepia, "by coincidence" one of the followers of "Ikigai." After a sluggish coronation, serious changes will begin in the country, the most important of which will be the appointment of Usami Kyoko to the role of the nation's spiritual mentor. Conversion All young residents of Alait undergo religious instruction in every educational institution, and if among the older generation of elves many opponents of the current regime still remain, all the youth unconditionally follow the ideas of the new faith and the mentor's orders. Those who are caught in heresy, regardless of age, are sent for mandatory "re-education," to make model followers of them. The present situation The production of Alait stones remains only on the black market, sorcerers have been driven out by fear of ruthless assassinations, non-believers have been made to believe, order reigns in the country, and the bulk of the population labors to bring the mentor's ideas to life. Origin Enlightened — access to the features "understanding of the inner," "understanding of the outer," and "understanding of all."

The Enclave

The civil war and the subsequent splintering of the Reimian Empire allowed the snakemen to take back their home, once seized from them by Verilian Reim. Many snakemen tried to lead the lands freed from discrimination and foreign rule, but all of them had to yield to the leader of the faction known as "The Enclave." This tyrant, possessing enormous personal strength, an unyielding character, and a fearsome charisma, subdued his fellow tribesmen with an iron hand and set them on a course of destruction. Under the new leader's direction, the snakemen, in addition to restoration work, also engaged in robbery, murder, and violence, but all of it came to an end when their chieftain refused to cooperate with the Larian Republic. This led to war and the subsequent death of the snake chieftain. A new era Together with the old leader, the order he had established also collapsed. The snakemen did not know what to do next — they had no representative of their own, and the Larian bombardments did not cease. Then Python, a wise shaman of the snakemen's sun god, took up the task of uniting the people that had fallen into chaos. He managed to restore some semblance of order in the swamps, and soon set out for negotiations with the attackers. Python understood that the humans were interested only in the resources located on their lands, and he was prepared to provide everything necessary on the most disadvantageous terms for himself — he wanted, at any cost, to end the war that was scorching his home and his people. Negotiations Python and his comrades, with the greatest difficulty, managed to obtain a meeting with Viridian T. Larian — the leader of the Larian Republic. During the negotiations, the shaman explained the situation to the chancellor, apologized for the disrespect shown by his predecessor, and, on his knees, pleaded for a cessation of hostilities. The answer was despair: in the eyes of the young ruler, the snake-man saw nothing but emptiness and a complete absence of any interest in the fate of his people. With a phrase devoid of any emotion, Viridian gave the order to shoot the non-humans with ephemeral weapons. The future The further history of this tribe promises to be grim: if events continue to unfold in this manner, soon no trace of it will remain. Origin +7 beast points; Intellect is twice as expensive; Free "snake-man" specialization and 5 SK toward it.

The Free City of Eren

At the height of the Reimian Empire, the province of Eren was a major port city, a center of maritime trade in the south, a gamblers' paradise. And in an even more distant past — a region that belonged to Beliad. Now, after the empire's splintering, Eren has, for the first time, gained independence, but did this make life better for its inhabitants? For some — undoubtedly; for others — not very. Today Eren is richer than ever before, and organized criminal groups are in charge, each claiming one or another part of the city. Autumn Leaves Boss: Vanir Hessendark A Beliadian aristocrat who attained great influence and a huge fortune from the constant armed conflicts that took place, and still take place, on the southern side of the Midland Sea. In those years he traded in weapons, information, and provided the services of mercenary armies and professional killers. In the year 750, Vanir Hessendark will begin to dabble in the slave trade, which will subsequently become the main source of income for the "Autumn Leaves." Over various periods of time, this organization tried to establish itself in the Reimian Empire, but the competent work of the law enforcement did not allow them to do so. After the start of the civil war and the splintering of the empire, everything, of course, became much simpler. Today Vanir's agents operate in every corner of the former empire, and in their methods they shrink from nothing. Savano Clan Boss: Savano Keiji By irony of fate, the leader of this group crossed the path of the boss of the "Autumn Leaves" a very long time ago, and the latter, although a very well-informed man, has still not learned of it to this day. Keiji grew rich when, in the most dastardly way, he disrupted a deal between the Nihonese "onryo" and the "Leaves," after which he set off for Reim, where he opened his own business, which, however, did not last long — civil wars, as it turned out, were not good for business. He then decided to seek a new place for himself, until he finally settled in Eren, where he organized a criminal group, which he founded with the help of his former flunkies from Reim and his co-religionists. Through the efforts of this organization, the followers of Kirishima were able to establish themselves firmly far from their homeland. Sharp Guys Boss: Layd Rihok The eccentric leader of the "Sharp Guys" very often found himself the center of attention of those around him, and wherever he turned up, all kinds of rabble always gathered around him. He himself was accustomed to settling any matter with his fists and feet, but if life taught him anything, it was that, with a bunch of flunkies at hand, one can live more simply and far more merrily. Eren was no exception — here he dragged along the subordinates he had acquired during his wanderings across the southern part of the continent. Over time, the most unhinged residents of Eren joined them, and now there is hardly anything they do not dabble in, in this city. Sword of Justice Boss: Titian Reim The illegitimate son of the notorious emperor and an unfortunate student from the "Idol Academy." Under the present circumstances, his name carried no political weight, but this did not stop the young man from creating and heading his own organization in this city. Unlike his father, Titian pursues very different goals — he tries to restore justice in the world and to eradicate "evil" in all its manifestations. In the case of Eren, this means eliminating the criminal groups and restoring order. He himself does not strive for power, but it is not impossible that his maniacal obsession with justice will bring this city more misfortune than benefit. The "Sword of Justice" operates in the spirit of the Reimian police that existed in the empire during the reign of Sonata Reim, with Titian in the role of chief. Origins Autumn Leaves: 500 Larian rumias at start, quality equipment, and an expensive business suit. Savano Clan: +1 SK, +1 SA, +1 SP, traditional Nihonese clothing. Sharp Guys: +25 to Strength, +25 to Agility, +25 to Perception, stylish and bright clothing. Sword of Justice: +15 to all characteristics, +3 to movement speed, a police uniform.

Empire's Catharsis Empire's Catharsis is a union of people pursuing the goal of restoring the former greatness of the Reime Empire and bringing to life the ideals of Sonata Reime, an empress infamous for her controversial reforms that sparked a civil war and the subsequent collapse of the empire. Symphony Reime, her only daughter, wishes to correct history and steer it toward a different path, dispersing the thick darkness that consumed the empire with the light of her pure ideals and unwavering yet merciful character. By this day, many different people have gathered in the ranks of Symphony's followers, but at the beginning of her adventure, she was accompanied only by her school friend. Their first destination was the capital of the Empire — Reime, a city that bore the name of her mother's family and despised and hated her. The first thing both girls tried to do was attract people's attention to their goals and convince them to support these endeavors. At first, the residents of the capital treated this with skepticism and disdain; however, over time, the common folk gradually began to be touched by Symphony's ideas and her charismatic personality. This predictably displeased the authorities of Reime, and they decided to turn the residents against her. A few right words and a handful of copper coins, and Symphony's peaceful demonstration threatened to turn into violence. The daughter of the empress hated by the people of Reime, although she was skilled with a sword, found herself in a difficult position: there were many opponents, but she could not wound them, otherwise it would render all her endeavors meaningless. Defending against all the attackers became increasingly difficult until a stranger finally intervened — a formidable-looking warrior who, by the strength of his mighty body, opened a path of retreat for Symphony and her friend, after which all three successfully escaped. That same evening, Symphony assessed the situation and decided that staying in the country now was not the best decision and that she needed to find loyal followers before moving further. Significant members of the "Empire's Catharsis" movement Mira — a classmate and close friend of Symphony, whom she affectionately calls "Simphi," which in turn causes confusion for Egir because, as he believes, such an address to the future empress is improper. Very energetic and spirited, she is well-versed in natural sciences and capable of more than might seem at first glance. Egir — a wandering swordsman named after one of the rulers of Reime. Born and raised in Larian, where the attitude toward commoners left much to be desired. Being part of this class and possessing a hot temper, he often got into trouble related to this. He strongly disliked nobles and felt the same about the imperial family that allowed such injustice. Predictably, he did not understand the love for the empire and was not concerned at all about its fate; as he thought then: its collapse might only make things better for many. Nevertheless, after Sonata Reime came to power, his attitude toward everything changed significantly. Egir was greatly inspired by her strength of character and ideals, and later joined her faction despite being quite young for it. Egir worked tirelessly for his new empress, but after Tiaria appeared on the scene, everything came to an end. After escaping from the capital, the young swordsman joined the coalition forces, but upon achieving victory, he would be absolutely broken. After that, he simply wandered the country for many long years until one day he stumbled upon Symphony and her friend, who were in a difficult situation in the imperial capital. Learning who she was and what her goals were, he swore his loyalty to her. Tai — a ward of a hermit living in the forests of Akkerwald. The old man took the upbringing of this boy seriously — including grueling physical training and an education that any imperial academy would envy. And since the forests of Akkerwald simply swarmed with undead and wild animals, and they had to sleep outdoors, the youth developed superhuman instincts among other things. He has a lighthearted nature, is very vibrant and confident in himself, although calm and not overly sociable; he loves flowers, literature, and all things beautiful. He left the hermit at 17, after which he headed to the nearest town, and then to the capital itself. He worked various jobs (mainly guarding against undead, demons, monsters, and bandits) until one day rumors of his talents reached Larian, as a result of which he was soon offered a place in the capital's military academy. Intrigued by something new, the youth agreed and, on his way to another country, crossed paths with Symphony's group fleeing from the capital. The travelers misunderstood each other, resulting in him and Egir crossing swords. To the seasoned warrior's surprise, the youth managed to stand as an equal with him. When the misunderstanding was resolved, he and Symphony's group parted on friendly terms. Vita — one of the experimental dolls produced by the "Reimeford" company. She was sent to the military academy under the guise of an ordinary student for the purpose of studying the development of mind and personality in dolls within such an environment. Tai would end up in the same class as her; soon they would become very close friends, and then he would confess his love to her. Vita, although experiencing feelings completely unknown to her, would politely refuse him, but the youth would not give up and would continue to seek a "genuine" answer from her, suspecting that she was hiding something from him. One day, Vita would reveal to him who she actually is. According to common sense, a living organism and a mechanical one are incompatible with each other, so the youth had only to surrender. But in response, Tai would say that he sees more humanity in her than in all other people and that he loves her despite everything he heard. Vita would reply that she needs to think about it; he would agree to wait and say that if she is truly against it, he will not insist any further, although it will be hard for him to do so. Not knowing how to act, Vita would decide to consult with her curator who was essentially a kind of mentor to her. After consulting with the superiors, the curator would decide to end the doll's life at the academy and send her back to a military facility. Vita, although not wanting to, would agree — contradicting orders was unthinkable for her. After this, Vita would stop appearing at the academy, causing great concern for her friend. Tai would begin trying to find out what happened to her, but of course, few knew about it, and those who did had no intention of telling the truth, simply answering that she had to transfer to another academy. The youth, naturally, would not be convinced by this and would resort to more ambiguous and illegal methods until he finally learned the truth. Not wanting his best friend and beloved to be used as a weapon by a faceless state, he would penetrate the military facility and try to free her. To his surprise, the doll does not react to his words and shows no signs of any emotion at all. A battle begins between them — Vita intends to eliminate the intruder, while he, in turn, tries to reach her with his words. After a fierce fight between the two, the doll eventually manages to deal a mortal wound to the intruder. At that moment, Vita's personality and emotions, blocked by the government, awaken once again despite the laws upon which all her mechanisms operated. Realizing what happened, Vita experiences horror and despair for the first time; she rushes to the youth and tries to help him. Tai understands that it is already over for him, and so, in the cold embrace of his beloved, he only smiles faintly and asks her to live freely, happily, and without regrets. After what happened, Vita leaves Larian by force and after some time begins attempts to find Symphony's group — people whom Tai spoke very highly of. Ren — a young ronin from the Nihon Empire, distinguished by grace and refined beauty. He is skilled with a sword and is fond of poetry and calligraphy. Despite his mysteriousness and repeatedly displayed eerie calmness, he joins Symphony's group. After several months, during a discussion of further plans of action, Symphony decides to confess to her followers that Yubin Reime should have become the legitimate heir of her grandfather, to which those gathered respond that they do not care — they followed her of their own free will because they believed in her, and not because it was prescribed by the law of a long-forgotten country. For Ren, however, this was not quite so, and that evening he would try to eliminate Symphony, which Egir would prevent him from doing. The enraged warrior would be intent on taking the traitor's life at any second, but would be stopped by Symphony. Their group leader wishes to know from Ren why he acted this way and how she could have offended him. His answer would be: "I have nothing personal against you, sister. But just as you wish to restore your mother's honor, I cannot leave the betrayal against my father unpunished." Despite Egir's objections, Symphony decides to spare him. Kamiya Ren goes into exile and later joins the "Event Horizon" organization. Sirius Meiss — during their travels, Symphony's group discovers a wounded man lying unconscious in the middle of the street. They decide to help him, move him to the hotel where they are staying, and nurse him back to health. Mira jokingly suggests that he join them. The man, in turn, asks who they are and what they do, and when he learns the truth, he bursts into laughter. According to him, in the past he cared for a sick sister and worked very hard, but when Sonata Reime came to power, he lost a good way of earning money because his aristocrat boss lost his income due to her reforms. After that, out of desperation, he began doing the dirtiest work, and then came the civil war and the subsequent chaos. As a result of all this, he lost his sister and grew to hate the very concept of the state. His answer to Mira's question was, naturally, sharply negative. Despite this, he decides to secretly repay his saviors for their kindness and begins eliminating Symphony's political opponents in Akkerwald one by one. After all, that is what assassins do, although rarely without payment for their services and guidance from employers. Castor L. Tselen — one of the few officials of the current government of Akkerwald who truly works for the good of the country and its people, rather than for his own well-being. Due to the political situation, he has to tread on thin ice, maneuvering between groveling before the monarch and attempts by colleagues to somehow frame him, but rich experience in this job allows him to stay afloat and continue his work. After the escape of Symphony and her two companions from the capital, he secretly observed her actions through trusted people until he finally decided to contact her. In his letter, he assured the young girl that he supports all her endeavors and if he can help her in any way, he will certainly do so. Before her return to Akkerwald, he decided to raise her popularity among the common population and prepare the central fragment of the empire for the triumphant return of the future empress. Sheat — hiding from the persecution of the governments of Akkerwald and Larian, the members of "Empire's Catharsis" had to board a ship and leave northern Enklessia, heading south. There they were sheltered by the young ruler of the kingdom of Sangria. After the arrival of the Jarlian expedition in the north, Sheat's father, being a great lover of adventure and an irresponsible person at the same time, decided to go to Tiara. And he liked it so much there that he decided to stay and took a Freshian woman as his wife, and sent the daughter born to her home along with all his retinue — "she will be your queen," he told them at last. Since the attitude of the residents and government of Sangria toward the royal family was good, the girl was lucky and nothing bad happened to her during her years of growing up. Symphony and Sheat's personalities clicked and they easily became friends. The Queen of Sangria not only sheltered the fugitives but also provided "Empire's Catharsis" with colossal financial assistance, asking only in return for help for her country in a potential war against Ixia, if it should actually happen and if Symphony manages to set things right in the empire.

Eos

The Throne of Eos In his attempts to uncover the secrets of creation and achieve own unprecedented power, Thalass Semis Dame, the last Duke of Laithia, awakened that which should have remained beyond the limits of this world and never penetrated it. Now, thanks to the pride and greed for knowledge of one man and his followers, the eastern region of the fallen empire has been transformed into Eos — a kingdom of demons and ghastly creatures, with the heart of Eos located where the former capital of the region once stood. Priscilla Primeval demon, Queen of Eos, demonic empress, ruler of dark hearts, dark mistress — Priscilla holds many titles, and each corresponds to who she is. Anyone in whom even a drop of demonic blood flows follows the same instructions of the demon queen without question, for she possesses absolute power over every bearer of her curse. Legends of Priscilla's origin vary greatly; according to some, she is the first creation of this world, while according to others — a being from some other world. Be that as it may, if even the demons themselves know little about their mistress, then mere mortals are left only to guess. Eos The former territory of Laithia is divided into several independent territories (domains), each governed by Priscilla's vassals. Some domains, such as The Throne of Eos (within the kingdom itself simply called "Eos"), are much like human states, while others may represent something entirely different. Chevalier This is what those who follow the queen's instructions directly are called. The Chevaliers ensure her security, carry out various missions both within Eos and beyond its borders, and receive and serve guests during important meetings and ceremonies. Demon points are always 5. Humanity points are always 5. +100% health, +10 speed, maximum initiative. Immunity to negative effects; each unit of charisma reduces all enemy rolls by 1. -1 to the cost of learning all skills.

Ashiya Procyon Probably the strongest of the demons of Eos, Procyon is one whose power must be reckoned with by anyone who casts a glance upon him. He appears as a colossal dragon and possesses the destructiveness expected of such a majestic creature. He can transform into a human; in this form, he looks like a tall man with pale skin and black hair. Were it not for the color of his eyes, he could easily pass himself off as a mere mortal. From the moment of his awakening, he felt the presence of a strong opponent in the east and subsequently began the conquest of the empire there. As a result, in a short time, he managed to subject territories of the same size as all of Eos combined to his will; however, in recent years, his progress has slowed significantly — for the first time in long centuries, the Celestials had to turn their attention to the affairs of mortals and intervene in the proceedings. Ashiya Procyon's vast domain is called "Ashiya". By forcing his subjects to live in constant fear of him, Procyon promotes the creation of absolute order and unquestioning discipline in his domain. Unlike other vassals of Priscilla, the black dragon does not engage in converting his subjects into demons and welcomes strong warriors in any form, only to then throw them back into the same hell of battle. Despite this, over the passing years, many have come to respect their lord — by showing valor and skill in battles, warriors could count on various rewards, whether they be shiny coins, lands, or beautiful women. Animus The capital of Ashiya. A huge city built of black stone, with walls higher than mountains and towers reaching for the clouds. Here, one can hear the noise of working blacksmiths everywhere, producing weapons for Procyon's numerous army. Animus Legionnaire Demon points +3. +3 SP, +1 CP, +2 HP. Damage is increased by 100%, two additional attacks, the firing range of any weapon is higher by 8, the area of effect of negative spells is increased by 4. Does not stack with "destruction" conviction.

Aquilegia Eia Among the rulers of Eos and its diverse population, Eia is known as a very playful and mischievous demon — she often visits other domains, amusing herself and causing mischief in every way to dispel the boredom accumulated from staying in Aquilegia, where something interesting for her rarely happens. Her thirst for fun, however, is not limited to this, and she very often secretly travels beyond Eos. There she finds men and women for her entertainment — she deceives them in every possible way and pushes them toward actions that will amuse her. With the men she likes, she spends frenzied nights and then turns them into her parasites. Those who do not impress her, she transforms into women unable to live without a man inside them. She treats women differently — those who are to her taste she rewards with male traits, and those who are not, she feeds to her monsters. Aquilegia Aquilegia is home to countless diverse and very ghastly beasts and monsters. This domain is covered by all-consuming swamps and thick fog. Parasites Small demons created by Eia from men. They are long, fat, and hideous worms whose head is slightly larger than the main body. They can settle in the bodies of other people and control them as long as the host remains alive. Additionally, they can impregnate women so that they give birth to the monsters of Aquilegia. Demon points are always 10. The character cannot attack or use skills and items until they have a host. To obtain a host, the parasite must enter their body through the oral cavity. Parasite rolls: accuracy, endurance. Victim rolls: evasion, endurance. The host has the same functions as an ordinary character except that they cannot be brought back to life after their health drops to 0. Additionally, the parasite can secrete special substances from its body that stimulate and enhance the sexual desire of women. In this case, a charisma roll is made against a will roll; in case of success, the parasite can do whatever it wants with its victim. While using this feature, all rolls for the parasite are reduced threefold until the start of the next turn.

Arcadia Pleiona Pleiona rules her domain with a just hand — she generously rewards subjects for loyalty and labor, and deals with them just as ruthlessly for their transgressions. Arcadia, among other things, is a unique center of culture for Eos — Pleiona's love for human art served as the impetus for the appearance of composers, writers, fashion designers, etc., in Eos. The benevolence of this domain's ruler, however, ends when she wants to acquire something. Regardless of what the object of her desire is, be it a valuable item, someone else's land, or even a person — she will do anything to get it. The Gardens of Arcadia In the palace of the main city of Arcadia lies Pleiona's treasury, where her unique collection is kept — items of foreign culture, precious treasures, and living people who pleased her, doomed to live in a frozen body capable of thinking but unable to move. Arcadia Guard Warriors of Arcadia chosen by the domain's lord to maintain order within it and carry out her assignments. Demon points +3. Water attacks do not deal damage to the character; instead, they restore their health. Any attack by the character (melee, ranged, spells, etc.) can freeze the opponent (paralysis until the first attack; will check against will); the first attack on a frozen character deals five times more damage. Arcadia Musician Demon points +3. The character can perform compositions on a chosen string instrument. Song №1 — "Crystal Heart" Reduces the defense rolls of all enemies by half the value of charisma. Song №2 — "Longing" A chosen character must pass a will check against the musician's charisma or they will commit suicide on the next turn. Song №3 — "Omen of the End" Enemies take more damage from any source; effectiveness depends on the musician's charisma. Song №4 — "Passionate Desire" The character can perform long-range magical attacks using their instrument (accuracy). Damage equals charisma multiplied by ten. Song №5 — "March of Arcadia" Increases any rolls of all allies by the value of the musician's charisma.

Kairos Foliol Although it is hard to tell by his appearance alone, in reality, Foliol is a venerable demon of wisdom and philosophy. In the past, before his awakening, Foliol — being literally a mountain — was a place of worship for one of Laithia's minorities. Offerings were made to him and advice was sought, and little has changed to this day. Kairos This domain, although not small itself, has the lowest population in all of Eos. There is no one here except Foliol himself and his students. Foliol's Warrior Demon points +4. +150% health. The character gains the ability to switch between two passive features — absorption and reflection. Absorption (ranged attacks): reduces damage received by the character by (endurance)% (limit: 80%). Reflection (melee attacks): reduces and reflects (endurance)% of damage back to the attacker. If endurance is over 100, then the reflected damage is correspondingly higher. Foliol's Student Demon points +4. The character can teach others what they know themselves without spending SP or CP for either party.

Ifril Galir One of the emperors of the Reime Empire, Verilian Reime, was brought back to life by Priscilla's magic in the form of undead. Deprived of his personality and unable to feel anything but deep despair, he faced a choice — continue this wretched existence until the end of time or fulfill the task set before him and find peace. And although it was hard for him to accept, such a life was too unbearable for him. Wishing to end it as soon as possible, he agreed to do what was required of him: destroy the remnants of his own empire. Ifril Ifril is a land of the dead where nothing living remains: no people, no animals, not even plants. The death breath of the skeleton king strips life from everything it touches, and if it were not for the regular marches of the undead to the west, this land would be absolutely silent. The Returned One of those who suffered the same fate as Verilian. Undead points +8. Demon points +1. Each time the character's health drops to zero, they lose 10% of their maximum health and fully restore it to the new value. This repeats until the maximum health drops to 10. Attacks that deal damage based on a percentage of maximum health accelerate this process. Harbinger Undead points +8. Demon points +1. The character's attacks add +1 undead point to opponents if they fail a will check against the harbinger's will.

Macerat Miasma Ruler of diseases, pain, and decay, Miasma is a truly terrifying demon responsible for the appearance of a whole series of epidemics of previously unknown diseases across an entire continent. Other domain rulers generally avoid meetings with Miasma. Macerat The territory of Macerat is a wild land; there are no cities or even villages here, all of which vanished into oblivion with the arrival of Miasma. Those who remained to live here exist in "harmony" with the local fauna, which in itself is an unenviable fate. Breeder Demon points +5. The character's attacks inflict various diseases on opponents. Madness: will check against will, -1 to target's will checks for each unit of their intelligence. A character suffering from madness will gradually go insane: first, this will manifest as a slight obsession with something, and subsequently it will completely distort the perception of reality in some way. Wasting: magic power check against endurance. A character suffering from wasting will gradually decompose, experiencing unbearable torment. -1 to all characteristics every day. Weakness: accuracy check against evasion. A character suffering from weakness takes twice as much damage from any source. Poisoning: endurance check against endurance. A character suffering from poisoning loses all passive effects and cannot use active skills. Infection: endurance check against endurance. A character suffering from infection loses control over themselves, begins to attack everyone indiscriminately and transmit their diseases. Carrier Demon points +5. The character's body serves as a habitat for a colony of subcutaneous spiders. Each time the character takes damage, they burst out and jump onto characters in adjacent cells. If the characters fail an evasion check against a static accuracy value (100), one to ten spiders will enter their organism. Each spider removes 1% of maximum health and magical energy per turn until the end of the battle.

Majin Libre The Lord of Majin is also known as the "Liberator"; he is a rare demon possessing many positive qualities, such as selflessness, generosity, mercy, and compassion. He is deeply wounded by the state of affairs in Eos, but the inability to resist the orders of the demonic empress leaves him no other choice but to turn a blind eye: according to the laws established by Priscilla, domain rulers cannot interfere in each other's affairs. Majin This Domain is located to the east of Brightwin. The standard of living and personal freedoms here are an order of magnitude higher than in other domains of Eos, but even this land has not escaped misfortune: in search of justice, Libre attempted to free the slaves of Dreyeria from the oppression of their masters, resulting in a war between the two sides. And although Libre managed to free a great many people and take them in, Dreyeria did not leave it at that. Recovering after the unexpected attack, the Dreyerians went on a counter-offensive and have taken the initiative to this day, threatening to crush Majin any day now if another ruler of Eos does not provide help to this domain. Wings of Freedom Libre's personal guard existing to protect Majin and its inhabitants from external and internal threats. Demon points +3. Beast points +3. +10 speed, +100% health, counterattack after every hit taken regardless of the number of attacks. When using ranged weapons, can counterattack at a distance. The character takes all attacks and negative actions directed at allies (including area-of-effect) upon themselves. All rolls under the activation of this effect are twice as high, while damage received in this way is half as much.

Laithia Thalass Thalass Semis Dame, alchemist, demonologist, and necromancer. In attempts to avoid the reforms of Sonata Reime, he became obsessed with his research in these fields, which subsequently provided the impetus for the formation of Eos on the territories of his duchy. As a reward for his awakening, Priscilla made him one of the lords of Eos and endowed him with great power. The duke himself, however, was not happy with such a reward, as replacing one empress with another completely rendered all his efforts in recent years meaningless. Furthermore, not only was his new form repulsive to look at, but merely staying in this body was physically unbearable for him. Unlike the resurrected Verilian, he had the opportunity to end it all, but he did not wish to use it. Instead, the lord of little Laithia began researching ways to return to a normal body and be freed from the curse of demonic blood, while simultaneously preparing a rebellion against Priscilla. Alchemy The use of alchemy consists of three stages — drawing a magic circle on the ground, distributing the necessary components, and reading an activation spell. +10% to alchemy effectiveness for each demon point. Golem Intelligence*50=health Intelligence*1=evasion Intelligence*1=accuracy Intelligence*10=damage Intelligence*1=percentage physical damage resistance Movement speed is three, the golem is immune to negative effects, attacks deal area damage 3x3.

Can be used on corpses to transfer their characteristics to oneself or another character. Works only if the deceased's characteristics are higher than those of the living, but the alchemist's will is higher. Maximum limit: 3 Experiment Used on oneself or another character, random effect.

Blight Siita Blight is a territory literally covered by kilometers of living flesh, every particle of which is part of Siita, the lord of this domain. Unlike other demons, Siita is not endowed with reason, and her level of intelligence is comparable to the simplest forms of life. The meaning of Siita's existence and her only activity is expanding herself by devouring surrounding territories. Blight Spawn Primitive demons born from Siita's flesh after digesting living forms of life. Demon points are always 10. Intelligence cannot be higher than 5. +500% health.

The Savano Clan
Boss: Savano Keiji
Ironically, the leader of this group crossed paths with the boss of the "Autumn Leaves" a long time ago, but the latter, although a very well-informed person, still doesn't know about it.
Keiji got rich by treacherously breaking the deal between the Nihon "Onryo" and the "Leaves," after which he went to Rheims, where he started his own business, which, however, didn't last long – civil wars, as it turned out, were not good for business. Then he decided to look for a new place for himself, until he finally settled in Erene, where he began to organize a criminal organization, for the foundation of which he used the help of his previous henchmen from Rheims and fellow believers. Thanks to this organization, the followers of Kirishima were able to firmly establish themselves far from their homeland.

You know who to vote for.

I don't see any Kirishimoks :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

I don't see any Kirishimoks.

Ha, naive.

Understanding the inner self.

Understanding the outer self.

Understanding everything.

Only after the third glass do you start to understand absolutely everything.

Is that the same ancient craftsman?
