Arteria The history of Visteria begins in a period known as the "age of gods" and the "era of chaos," which lasted for the longest stretch of time in the written history of humanity. In those times, most of Visteria's lands were represented by independent city-states, each having a patron in the form of one deity or another. At the core of the city-state protectors' essence were certain attributes with which their followers associated their patron — natural phenomena, emotions, character traits, crafts, and much else. Consequently, this was a key element in shaping the cultures of the peoples inhabiting Visteria at that time: for example, the inhabitants of the land of the goddess of fertility prioritized agriculture and preferred peaceful existence, while the followers of the god of war most revered the martial craft and lived by conquest. Despite the existence of a great multitude of vastly different languages, representatives of various cultures treated the patrons of foreign city-states with respect and sometimes fear, but because conflict and discord were typical attributes of many deities, this did not help them achieve mutual understanding. Nor did it help that human greed and lust for glory knew no bounds. As a result of this world order, wars, famine, and other misfortunes were commonplace for the people of that time. One such deity was Arteria — the goddess of the sea painted in the color of the sun. This name was given to her because of the serene beauty of the island on which she arose. Her main attribute is love, which was expressed in the fact that the goddess led her followers with a just but gentle hand and was known for her kindness and care. Life on the island of Arteria was blissful — people under her patronage knew no hardship and were protected from external threats, but the goddess herself never ceased to grieve for Visteria and all its inhabitants, forced to be pawns in a divine confrontation. This prompted Arteria to renounce her peaceful world and take up the path of war, which forever changed the history of Visteria — the "era of chaos" came to an end precisely as a result of the conquests she and her faithful followers carried out. The lands of Visteria were united under the patronage of the goddess of love and have since known no wars, famine, or any other misfortunes. This, however, did not come without a sacrifice on the part of the goddess — in order to control such vast territories, Arteria had to renounce her physical body and merge with the nature of the continent she ruled. She controlled the weather and other natural phenomena across the entire continent, which allowed her to endow Visteria with ideal conditions for the flourishing of civilization, and together with a just society and a culture filled with love, this continent became a place of blissful existence for every person. The Dark Ages About three thousand years ago, the goddess's influence waned — historians do not know why to this day, but it is reliably known that dark times followed for its inhabitants — colossal natural disasters, epidemics, crop failures, and other destructive natural phenomena went hand in hand with tragedies and catastrophes wrought by human hands. During this time period, the collapse of the then-existing civilization occurs; magical sciences fill the vacuum created by the disappearance of the gods; the first non-humans and monsters appear. Order on the continent began to be restored through the efforts of the followers of the then-forgotten goddess, who would later create the Church of Arteria, the day of whose founding would serve as the starting date of the modern calendar. The three key directions of the followers of this religion became science, medicine, and culture. All of this was necessary for the restoration of civilization and the enlightenment of the people: in the era of dark times, they built the first schools and hospitals. In addition, the followers of Arteria also highly revered the martial craft and magic, with the help of which they protected people and overthrew tyrants. The Invasion of the Northerners In the year 505 from the founding of the Church of Arteria, during a period when the consequences of the dark ages were finally coming to an end, a large army from a previously unknown land landed on the territory of the northernmost country of the western part of the continent — Nortia. The warriors, who called themselves Selvari, were significantly stronger than humans and other peoples inhabiting Visteria; they were distinguished not only by physical strength but also by lightning speed, an incomparable aptitude for magic, and a lifespan many times exceeding that of humans. They refused to enter into dialogue, and Nortia fell in just a few weeks after their unexpected appearance, followed by other countries to its south. The new rulers of the north were not bloodthirsty or pointlessly cruel, but they demanded absolute obedience from their subjects, including participation in future military campaigns. By the year 557, the Selvari controlled 2/3 of the territories of western Visteria, but despite the success of their military campaign, their plans to conquer the entire continent were not destined to come true. The reason was quite simple: they were too few to control such vast territories and simultaneously continue the war, but pride and a lack of flexibility in thinking did not allow them to go on the defensive. When the people saw this, widespread rebellions began in the occupied territories, the participants of which joined forces with the armies of free countries to achieve one goal: the complete destruction of the hated northerners. The last stronghold of the invaders, Nortia, fell in the year 572, and with that, this era came to an end, forever changing the fate of the peoples of Visteria. The main changes following the events of this century were the weakening of the influence of the Church of Arteria and the formation of feudalism.

Ancient philosophers of Telos who studied the influence of celestial bodies on human life used to believe that their position on the celestial sphere at the time of an individual's birth determined their character, temperament, and future fate. Centuries later, this science was brought to Shengkai thanks to the efforts of its enterprising merchants, and later spread throughout all of Visteria.Additional
- If a character has resistance to a certain damage type and passes a check against an effect belonging to that damage type, the effectiveness of their defensive roll increases by the same value.
- Damage resistance cannot exceed 85%.
- Stealth or parrying cannot be used without having the corresponding skill.
- In certain situations, combat may end prematurely.
- In most cases, percentage bonuses stack with each other (for example, a character born in the year of the centaur and the month of the eagle will receive +70% to their dodge value, and if they drink a potion that increases dodge by 50%, then the total will be 120%) but some effects may activate separately (for example, the chance to not take damage does not stack).
- Block points are restored in combat if the character does nothing but move, including not dodging enemy attacks.

Reginleif is the modern name of the island where, millennia ago — long before the unification of Wysteria — worship of Arteria first began. During the Dark Ages, the goddess of love's followers cleansed the island of the dangerous monsters that inhabited it and established their headquarters there. Centuries later, Reginleif would become the center of the Church of Arteria and the most influential state in Wysteria. Geographically, Reginleif lies near the central part of western Wysteria, which has always caused the Church's influence to tilt toward the nations of that region. Every true follower of Arteria aspires to visit at least once in their lifetime, to see with their own eyes the birthplace of their goddess.

Today, Reginleif functions as an ordinary state with its own government, economy, armed forces, and so on; thanks to additional territories on the continent and neighboring islands it has claimed over the years, the country is home to a sizable population. Reginleif's form of government is a monarchy, but royal power is limited and not hereditary — the new queen is whichever girl the Tiara of Arteria, one of the ancient artifacts, deigns to accept. The queen rules Reginleif as an absolute monarch, consecrates warriors as einherjar and paladins, and so forth, yet her role within the Church itself is quite limited: the supreme leadership of the Church rests with the Council of Valkyries, on which the queen holds only a single vote on any important matter. The remaining twelve votes belong to the Valkyries — the goddess's chosen. A young woman becomes a Valkyrie when painful, bleeding wounds appear unbidden on her body; once healed, these wounds are replaced by sacred symbols, signifying the blessing she has received. Valkyries cease to age, cannot fall ill, and so on — they live for as long as their bodies continue to function. The average lifespan of a Valkyrie is roughly a hundred years, though the more they fight, the shorter that span becomes. After a Valkyrie's death, considerable time may pass before her successor appears in the world.

Numerous organizations necessary for maintaining peace, order, and prosperity throughout Wysteria operate under the Church's authority. Quite often one of the Valkyries leads such an organization, though not always. The most prominent of these organizations are listed below.
The Bureau of Magic
This organization collects all information related to the magical sciences and restricts the use and spread of magic on the continent whenever sorcerers employ it for malicious purposes or attempt to conduct forbidden research. The Bureau of Magic also apprehends unregistered mages and confiscates magical artifacts that pose a threat to the public.
The Order of the Camellia
The Order of the Camellia's purpose is to provide education and medicine in regions where ordinary people find access to them difficult or impossible. Members of the Order travel the world, enlightening adults and children alike and offering medical care to all who need it. Wherever possible, they establish schools and hospitals.
The Fleet of Reginleif
The fleet of the sun-colored sea… The largest naval armed force in Wysteria belongs to Reginleif. Normally it answers to the queen, but if the position of Admiral of the Fleet is held by one of the Valkyries, command priority passes to her. The Fleet of Reginleif controls Wysteria's seas, protects merchant vessels from pirate attack, assists sailors in navigation, and enforces blockades on states such as Lisliar.
The Priestesses of Arteria
The Priestesses of Arteria carry out the Church's missionary work and spread joy and love throughout the world. Beyond a deep understanding of the Church's religious teachings, they are also accomplished vocalists, dancers, and more — drawing attention through their talents and bringing delight to all around them.
The Inquisition
The Church of Arteria is generally quite tolerant of other beliefs, but in certain cases — for instance, when followers of a given religion threaten the safety of others or practice forbidden rites — the Inquisition intervenes. Demon-worshippers and heretics, however, are destroyed without mercy regardless of circumstances.
The Order of the Keepers
This organization is charged with preserving the full truth about the world and its historical events, and with keeping watch over artifacts of ancient, divine origin.
The Army of Reginleif
As with the fleet, this country's armed forces are unmatched and answer to either the queen or one of the Valkyries. The Church's warriors take part in peacekeeping missions across the nations of Wysteria, frequently serving as mediators to bring an end to hostilities between warring parties.
Amatonte
The Church's intelligence organization, responsible for gathering information about events taking place across Wysteria. Amatonte agents operate undercover in nearly every country in Wysteria, exposing corrupt officials and so on.
The Department of Technology
This organization conducts research across the most diverse fields of science and is responsible for a large share of the continent's technological innovations. The first prototypes of firearms originated here — a development that sparked one of the most serious conflicts on the Council of Valkyries in the past century.

The war against the northerners ended with catastrophic losses for the Church of Arteria: they lost eleven of the twelve Valkyries then serving, expended unimaginable resources, and forfeited much of the infrastructure necessary to sustain their former influence. Had the Selvarian invasion not occurred, the followers of Arteria would likely already have been on the path to unifying the continent — but the invasion weakened their influence enormously. The Church is still capable of crushing any single state in Wysteria, yet now it must tread carefully on thin ice, for its strength is no longer sufficient to contain the chaos that could follow from rash actions or the discontent of the other players on Wysteria's political map.

	Serberia Serberia was founded during the revolts against Selvarian rule, led by Artorius der Grosse in the year 565. The leader of the rebellion seized upon the situation not only to overthrow the occupiers, but also to become the sole ruler — king — of the territories he had liberated, ruthlessly crushing all other potential claimants to power over those lands. He was also one of the foremost ideologists of the era advocating for the complete extermination of the northerners, a stance that boosted his popularity among the people while damaging future relations with the Church of Arteria, which had spoken out against such radical measures. Once the military campaign against the northerners concluded, the well-organized Serberia embarked on a lightning-fast expansion that secured its position in Wysteria. To this day, Serberia remains one of the most aggressive and militarized states on the continent. Only the weak crave equality. The famous motto of the kingdom's founder — which became the bedrock of Serberian national identity and its future laws — remains as relevant today as ever. The kingdom's aristocracy is formed by a warrior caste endowed with a range of privileges, the foremost being the right to hold land. That said, their lives are not quite as easy as they might appear at first glance, since nobles are expected not only to possess exceptional martial skill but also to be versed in music, painting, and other arts. Below them in Serberia's class system are commoners — citizens of the kingdom who hold no special privileges but are not deprived of their rights either. At the very bottom are slaves: warriors and peasants captured in conflict with other nations. Social mobility for ordinary citizens takes the form of distinguishing oneself in battle, while slaves can hope to gain civil rights only by invoking their right to challenge the arenas of Serberia for the entertainment of the crowd. There has never been open confrontation between Serberia and the Church, yet conflicts between them are not rare. Under Church pressure, for instance, the belligerent kingdom was forced to abandon certain imperial ambitions, plans to create an autonomous branch of Arterianism, and the complete stripping of all rights from slaves — originally it was intended that, unlike the kingdom's commoners, slaves would be granted no freedoms whatsoever and their fate would lie entirely at their masters' discretion, but in the end the Serberian government had to make modest concessions, granting slaves a bare minimum of rights and permitting them to lodge complaints with Church officials if those rights were violated. Serberia is one of the most influential states on the continent, and its capital, Messenzetz, is Wysteria's second most populous city — a destination that draws tourists from every corner of the continent to witness its various performances, including arena combat, and to enjoy the many fruits of Serberian art. The current king of Serberia, Heinrich der Grosse, is more pragmatic in his pursuits and approach to governance than his father, who was known for his love of tournaments and celebrated for his strength and martial prowess. When the first firearm prototypes fell into his hands, he quickly recognized their potential in real combat and immediately ordered mass production of the new weapon — a move that subsequently gave Serberia the most modernized army on the continent.

	Shengkai The history of Shengkai as a fully formed political entity begins in the year 289 before the founding of the Church of Arteria, making it one of the oldest surviving civilizations in Wysteria. Shengkai was founded by the people of the region with the support of wandering followers of Arteria, in an effort to defend themselves against famine and the barbarians that dwelt in the vicinity at the time. Once the people's basic needs were met and their cities secured, the movement's leader of that era, Kuan Shao, was crowned and became Shengkai's first king. Over the following centuries, the descendants of Kuan Shao engaged in what might be called "peaceful expansion," drawing smaller and less developed neighboring countries and tribes into their kingdom through investment and cultural influence. From the year 181 onward Shengkai became an empire, but as a result of the Selvarian conquests several centuries later, the imperial dynasty was dissolved and subsequently lost not only its political influence but even any ceremonial significance. After liberation from the occupiers, the territories of Shengkai were reorganized under a democratic system and the country transformed into a republic. If Serberia is master of war, Shengkai is master of trade. The people of the republic are extraordinarily hardworking, well-disciplined, and fiercely entrepreneurial. Shengkai's merchants travel the continent not only to conduct business but to uncover the secrets of foreign cultures and technologies, absorbing the best of what they find. The capital of Shengkai is Shao — the largest city in Wysteria by both population and size, and one of the continent's most important centers of commerce. In the presidential elections of years 720 and 725, the winner both times was Yuan Pei, a wealthy entrepreneur from the southern part of Shengkai. Pei is known for his good sense of humor, his positivity, and his ability to put people at ease; however, his competence as a national leader remains in question, and according to widespread but of course unconfirmed rumors, all of his decisions are guided by his daughter Yuan Lin, who took over as chief executive of her father's company following his inauguration. Despite the president's conspicuous peaceableness and affability, the Republic seizes every opportunity to strengthen its position on the international stage, and its economic dominance has allowed the country — much like its imperial predecessor — to subordinate its neighbors virtually without bloodshed. Opinion among Shengkai's own citizens is divided: some complain about the country's aggressive foreign policy and lengthening work hours, while others support the president, proudly declaring that Shengkai's progress cannot be stopped.

	Northia The Kingdom of Northia was formed in the year 106 through the unification of the previously independent northern counties, under the influence of the Church of Arteria. All that was asked of the new royal dynasty of the Regeldorfs and the surviving pious aristocracy was to live according to the goddess's commandments and care for the welfare of their subjects. And so life in Northia continued — the people lived modestly but with dignity, and the members of the aristocracy favored a stoic way of life. The liberation campaign against the northerners proved far more destructive and traumatic for the people of Northia than Selvarian rule had been — the occupiers had been strict but fair, whereas the liberators, drunk at the time on the achievement of final victory over their long-standing enemy, turned to pillage and violence against the local population. To be sure, not all members of the liberation movement took part in this, and many of the perpetrators were punished, but in the end it was enough to permanently poison relations between north and south. After the restoration of state sovereignty, power in Northia returned to the Regeldorf dynasty, but the country's sufferings did not end there. During the occupation, the queen of Northia at the time had been forced to become the concubine of one of the northern commanders, and her descendants had the misfortune of inheriting their father's snow-white hair — a trait that the people of Wysteria associated with the northerners they despised. The majority of Northians treated the ruling dynasty well enough, but there were those who called for their complete extermination. The activities of numerous criminal organizations repeatedly endangered the lives of innocent citizens and caused damage to the country's infrastructure and economy. The capital of Northia is Scherzo — the oldest city in the region, home to the Snow Palace, which originally served as the seat of the Regeldorf dynasty, was then seized and expanded by the northerners, subsequently plundered by the southerners, and at last returned to the rule of the royal dynasty. Anastasia Regeldorf, the current queen of Northia, inherited the northern crown in the year 718 when her father was killed by enemies of the "white-haired devils" — an unnamed organization that, according to some suspicions, was acting with the backing of an outside patron. The activities of criminal organizations on Northian soil over the past several decades have caused enormous harm to Northia and the standard of living of its citizens, so one of Anastasia's first measures was to expand economic freedoms and open the country to international trade and cooperation. Starting in the year 720, private companies from Shengkai — having received enormous subsidies from the new government through a "shared prosperity" program — began investing in Northia's economy, opening branches on its territory, and rapidly increasing the flow of goods and capital between the two countries. As a result, by the year 729 Northia's GDP had multiplied many times over, but the domestic market had grown dependent on foreign capital. Northia is currently experiencing a period of economic flourishing, yet despite this a great shadow of uncertainty hangs over the country — in exchange for solving its problems it has lost its sovereignty, and the influence of Serberia's and Shengkai's supporters within the government grows with each passing day.

	The County Alliance of Roiental Like Northia and many other nations on the continent, Roiental was forged through the efforts of the Church of Arteria — though in this case the process was far from simple, since over an extended period the warring counties and barbarian tribes that populated the region refused to coexist in peace with one another. From the year 152, when the internecine conflicts came to an end and peace settled over the land, Roiental remained a loyal vassal of the Church right up until the northerners' invasion at the start of the sixth century. After the end of Selvarian rule, Roiental split into seven sovereign counties — Engelshoven, Naihing, Hoenkirch, Elheim, Tseshvitz, Zaiber, and Droizen — and power passed from the followers of Arteria to a self-proclaimed aristocracy made up of military commanders and criminal organization leaders whose influence had grown amid the turbulent times that followed the northerners' invasion and swift downfall. The newly minted counts of Roiental agreed not to interfere in each other's affairs, but pledged to present a united front against any potential threat from outside. Thus the County Alliance of Roiental was born. For the people of this land, life under the new rulers proved considerably worse than before: the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens were of little concern to the aristocracy, who put their own enrichment above all matters of national interest. Naturally, such methods of governance caused Roiental's regional standing to decline sharply. When King Heinrich der Grosse of Serberia encroached upon the territory of one of the counties in the year 721, the alliance's forces proved unable to repel the aggressor — their armies were poorly armed and organized, and the soldiers themselves were insufficiently motivated to defend their lords' interests. Six months later the war ended in a crushing Serberian victory; the Alliance of Roiental lost one of its members, Elheim, and was forced to pay the victor a large financial indemnity in exchange for peace. This event prompted Roiental's aristocrats to reconsider their approach to running the country. Erich von Florian, Count of Naihing, with the support of his allies, put before the alliance council a series of reforms aimed at strengthening Roiental's economic and military power, the main objectives of which were to create a centralized government and a national idea that would inspire the country's citizens to be loyal to their homeland and to defend its interests in times of need. To make the effect even stronger, he also proposed taxing the townspeople somewhat less heavily, so they would see that the aristocracy cared about their interests. After several years of heated confrontation, the council finally approved Erich's proposals, and a year later appointed him Chancellor of Roiental.

	The Nakiri Plains The Nakiri Plains take their name from the nomadic people who came to these lands in the late years of the Dark Ages. Fleeing the hardships and dangers of the south at the time, they traveled north until they found themselves enclosed within this region — by the time they considered moving on to somewhere else, the surrounding territories had already been claimed by others and could no longer be freely traversed. Seeing no other option, they resolved to settle here, declaring that these plains were their home. Over the following centuries they repeatedly had to defend their interests — first against neighbors, then against the Selvarians — yet they were never conquered. Today, the homeland of the nomads borders Serberia and Shengkai to the north, Roiental to the west, and Anemone to the east. To their south lies Marion. The nomads themselves are a very peaceful, modest, and respectful people — which, however, does not prevent them from being excellent warriors. They revere Arteria and worship the winds, believing that the winds serve as the goddess's voice. In addition to the Nakiri, other tribes inhabit the remote corners of this land, but the nomads have never sought to encroach upon their territories except when compelling warlike tribes toward peace. The nomads' distinctive physical features are a slightly darker complexion, dark hair, and green or blue eyes. Origin The character may dodge a negative effect directed at them (2% chance per point of piety, number of activations unlimited). The character's attacks deal an additional 50% air damage.

	Moenia The Republic of Moenia lies at the far south of western Wysteria, bordering Miwa to the north and Lisliar to the east. As with many other nations on the continent, credit for Moenia's founding belongs to the efforts of the followers of Arteria; however, because Moenia was never conquered by the Selvarians, its society and statehood preserved the order and traditions of the past. Today the Republic is one of the Church's most important allies, though conflicts between them are not absent — especially in recent times, owing to the governing style and actions of the current Consul. Titanius Minerva, though very popular within Moenia, is an adherent of a militant form of Arterianism, believing that other convictions held by Wysteria's inhabitants do not deserve to exist and must be eradicated — a view that diverges somewhat from the Church's own teachings. The absurdity of his obsession with serving the goddess reached its height when word reached him that in the capital, right under his nose, there existed a secret gathering place for heretics. Upon hearing this he was overcome with such rage and shame that he left his office on the spot and, over the objections of his advisors, set out alone to eliminate the miscreants. The incident cost him his right eye — though as the Consul himself confesses, he has no regrets about it; such a sacrifice was a trivial price for the joy of serving the goddess. According to rumor, his private residence is filled with paintings and sculptures depicting Arteria. Aside from certain religious restrictions introduced in recent times, the republic's citizens enjoy a high degree of rights and freedoms, especially compared to countries that adhere to a feudal system. The Republic is also quite prosperous, allowing its citizens to satisfy most of their economic needs. Even so, Moenia has its own peculiarities. Since Moenians have had to defend themselves against monsters, barbarians, and despotic states from time immemorial, compulsory military service and a martial culture have always existed here. In the present day, constant armed conflicts with Lisliar do little to inspire the younger generation's confidence in the future. Many of Moenia's domestic matters are decided by national referendum. District, city, and regional representatives, as well as the Consul, are elected by vote as well — but not everyone may vote; Moenia's democracy differs from all others in that the vote belongs to the "family unit" rather than the individual. Consequently, citizens who are not married have no right to vote, and each family chooses one person to represent its interests at the ballot.

	Miwa The mutants who emerged during the Dark Ages had a hard time of it — they had no homeland of their own, and they were unable to settle anywhere because of other people's prejudices. An extra pair of ears, animal as they might be, and sometimes a small tail — not so great a difference from the ordinary human form, yet as time showed, it was enough for people, especially in troubled times, to regard anything unusual with suspicion, fear, and revulsion. They were called many things: demons, inhuman creatures, degenerates — but they had never had a name of their own, which only made their situation worse. The only ones who helped this long-suffering people and provided them with protection were the followers of Arteria, and later the representatives of the Church. In the year 93, Church officials recognized the settlement built beside the Miwa River as a special territory and pledged to protect it. This led to the majority of that people gradually relocating to this area over the following centuries. In the year 299 the Council of Reginleif was compelled to designate a substantial territory around Miwa as belonging to it and to grant it the status of a sovereign state. To make this possible, Moenia and Marion had to cede portions of their land, but it was precisely in this way that Miwa was achieved within its current borders. During the Selvarian invasion, the people of Miwa assisted the resistance forces in every way possible, including participating in military operations, though the war never reached their home. Miwa is a homeland of countless innovations. After gaining sovereignty, it became the source of numerous discoveries in the fields of cuisine, cosmetics, furniture-making, tailoring, and more. Beautiful and practical clothing — expensive, but world-famous — gained global popularity alongside a number of other local goods, while its divinely delicious and visually magnificent food and drink drew tourists from every corner of Wysteria. All of this allowed the people of Miwa to accumulate unimaginable wealth and attain the highest standard of living on the continent. The Schism As Miwa's economy and cultural influence grew, problems began to emerge — the foremost being an influx of immigrants. Drawn by the exotic culture and extravagant way of life, people moved from their own countries to Miwa en masse. Many residents were opposed to this, as they distrusted the foreigners who had scorned and driven them out everywhere in the past, but the government, preoccupied with economic and geopolitical concerns, left their anxieties unaddressed. Over time this led to a situation where the number of outsiders in Miwa threatened to exceed the number of native inhabitants. In the year 661, patriotically minded figures in power and the military attempted to stage an armed coup, but failed to achieve their objectives, and civil war broke out. Five years later, with the intervention of outside forces, Miwa was divided into two parts — northern and southern. The north went to those who had been content with the previous state of affairs, while the south became the place where only members of Miwa's native population could live. This did not resolve the issue, however, and both Miwas still lay claim to both parts to this day. Since the northern part contained the greater share of industry and a considerably larger population (the people who had been living on the southern territory were relocated north), northern Miwa is significantly wealthier than southern Miwa. The south compensates for this by being better organized. By a certain irony of fate, a popular career for southerners became mercenary work — armed groups from this country earn money all over the world to help support their homeland. Origin Northern Miwa: -2 to endurance, -1 to strength, +2 to intellect, +1 to beauty, +250 jewels, expensive clothing and jewelry, +35% to crafting, +35% to etiquette.

	Anemone The civilization of modern Anemone was born in the city of Storge — its future capital — when the warrior tribe that inhabited the region renounced its old customs and adopted monarchy, arriving at that system through the deliberations and reflections of its own leaders and philosophers. This occurred a thousand years before the founding of the Church of Arteria, making Anemone one of the few states in western Wysteria that does not owe the followers of Arteria for the shaping of their nation. Despite this, after contact with the goddess's servants in the year 10, the people of Anemone embraced their faith and have since that time remained — and continue to be — steadfast allies of the Church. Anemone prizes martial craft, the arts, and skilled trades, and its people are very welcoming and ready to lend aid to those in need — yet at the same time they are wary of foreigners who wish to settle in their land, fearing for the preservation of their own culture and unwilling to disrupt their accustomed way of life. They may help a traveler back on their feet in a moment of weakness, but will certainly send them on their way once they are capable of doing so. One of the most important elements of the Anemonian spirit and national character is one's vocation — it is held that whatever endeavor a person undertakes, they must master it completely. This often results in the country's people being very skilled in some particular craft or art while being quite unfamiliar with other matters. The people of Anemone observe etiquette and show respect for foreign cultures when they are on foreign soil, yet they always strive to uphold their own code of honor and not to betray what they consider the ideal of moral purity and justice. Compared to other nations culturally connected to the goddess of love, Anemonian people are even stricter and more naive in matters of love — here, even holding hands between an unmarried man and woman is considered unacceptable. Wearing skirts above the knee is likewise frowned upon… The current king of Anemone, Weiss Kijin, long since withdrew from public affairs, spending most of his time in the forests and mountains of Anemone living as a hermit. In his stead, his granddaughter Haku Kijin fulfills the duties of representative and head of state. At present, however, Anemone's political influence declines with each passing year, a consequence of the country's cultural characteristics keeping its population noticeably smaller than that of other nations in Wysteria. Origin -1 SP, +2 to beauty, +2 to charisma, +2 to spirit; the character earns experience points and attribute gains for deeds that align with the ideals of moral purity and justice of Anemonian culture.

	Issellia Since the magical sciences first appeared in Wysteria, they had always created certain problems for its inhabitants and posed a significant threat to its stability. For this reason the followers of Arteria made strenuous efforts to restrict the free use and spread of magic, while at the same time preventing the science from vanishing entirely — for they understood that, with responsible and benevolent stewardship, it could be of enormous benefit to all of Wysteria's people. With this in mind, years later the Church of Arteria founded a small country called Issellia, where the study of the magical arts was permitted under the close supervision of the Bureau of Magic, one of the Church's organizations. Studying magic outside its borders was thenceforth forbidden, and as a consequence, unregistered mages prefer not to reveal their abilities unless absolutely necessary. Another drawback of studying and living in Issellia is that many branches of magic and individual spells within permitted schools are banned, so the intellectual hunger of mages is not always satisfied. Issellia is governed by the Council of Eight — the masters of each of the eight principal schools of magic taught in Issellia. They decide most internal and external matters, but remain entirely subordinate to the Bureau of Magic. Issellia invented various magical instruments and devices to enhance sorcerers' abilities — rings, wands, staves, and the like, whose function is generally oriented toward storing energy or aiding in its more precise concentration. Over time these items gained popularity among mages across the continent, though due to their high cost they are not accessible to all. Origin -2 to strength, -2 to endurance, -2 to agility, +2 to intellect, +2 to perception, +2 to spirit, +1 SP (magic), +5 SL (magic), +20% to spell power, +30% to magical energy.
	Marion Marion is often called "the land of knights" because of the large number of knightly orders and the role they play in the life of this land. From ancient times to the present day they have remained Marion's defenders and take an active part in all internal and external affairs of the country. The country does have its own royal dynasty, but for all practical purposes it holds no real power — Marion's supreme leadership rests with the grandmasters of the five most influential orders: the Rosenritters, the Drachenritters, the Nachtritters, the Order of the Moon, and the Order of Arteria. Beyond its knights, Marion can also boast the most fertile lands on the entire continent, a high degree of safety, and justice. Although people live in relative modesty, no one here goes hungry. The Order of Arteria As the name suggests, it was founded in honor of Wysteria's goddess by her faithful followers. The Knights of Arteria travel throughout Marion and beyond to render aid to those in need — whether that means medical services, helping to rebuild towns and villages struck by disaster, educating children where schools and teachers are lacking, or protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Grandmaster of the Order: Luca Fivernight (21) — the youngest grandmaster in Marion's history, celebrated for his moral purity, unparalleled charisma, selflessness, beauty, and radiant smile. He has countless admirers both within Marion and beyond its borders, but to their devastating disappointment Luca took a vow of celibacy at the age of twenty in order to dedicate his life to serving the goddess. The Rosenritters Membership in this Order is exclusive to male candidates. It is now difficult to determine what first gave rise to this rule, but according to a popular legend the Order's founder was dissatisfied with the state of affairs in the Church hierarchy, where all the highest positions were held exclusively by women, and wished to create an organization with the opposite system. In modern times the image of the Rosenritters is split in two: on one side, they are adventurers, gentlemen, and true romantics; on the other, cunning thieves of ladies' hearts. Grandmaster of the Order: Alfons Rosenhart (38). Unlike the other orders of Marion, in the Rosenritters leadership passes by inheritance — to one of the reigning grandmaster's sons, or if there are none, to the most popular knight of the Order. In the latter case the new grandmaster takes on the founding family name of the Order. Alfons Rosenhart is renowned as one of the strongest and most valiant knights in Marion, yet for reasons unknown to the public, many who know him well hold him in poor regard. The Drachenritters The initiation rite for joining this Order is straightforward enough — the would-be member need "only" drink the blood of a superior dragon. Those who taste this liquid can substantially enhance their physical abilities, but risk losing their life in the process, since dragon blood is lethal to humans. The Drachenritters love to fight and frequently offer their services to other nations and factions in exchange for monetary reward and the opportunity to revel in battle. Grandmaster of the Order: Oogr Ladd (62). An unsociable warrior who rarely thinks of anything beyond wanting to drink and crack his enemies' skulls. He is on difficult terms with the Church because its representatives demand he put an end to the Order's mercenary activities and its deadly initiation rite. The Nachtritters The foundational philosophy of the Nachtritters and the core of every knight's existence within it is the honing of martial craft. They leave the mundane world behind and devote themselves to the way of the sword. Grandmaster of the Order: Ktsiul Ellayd (40). A mysterious individual about whom almost nothing is known, yet who somehow managed to attain the highest rank in the Nachtritters regardless. The Order of the Moon The Knights of the Order of the Moon specialize in reconnaissance, espionage, and the exploration of ancient ruins. It is said that the Order holds damaging information on officials in many of Wysteria's countries, enabling them to exert a certain pressure on those states. Grandmaster of the Order: Alea Mond (42). A stern woman with a strong sense of duty and professionalism. Many fear her on account of her imposing manner and her inability to appreciate humor. Origin +50% to health.

	Sillia For a very long time, Sillia was a small kingdom that flourished under the care of benevolent monarchs with the support of the Church of Arteria — but that period came to an end in the year 722 when the kingdom was struck by a sudden revolution aimed at overthrowing the monarchy and establishing a democratic order. The participants — first in protests, then in aggressive riots — accused the existing authorities of every possible crime and demanded the impossible, until the movement eventually grew into an armed uprising and ended with the execution of the royal family… Ever since that moment, Sillia's political system has nominally become democratic, yet peace in the country has never been achieved. The current authorities have secured the backing of a powerful patron — Shengkai — but Sillia's unyielding partisans refuse to recognize the new government, regarding them as puppets of the cunning republic.

	Saffron Since its founding, this state has attempted to remain isolated from the rest of the world — to take no part in external conflicts and even to have any form of contact with neighboring countries. This state of affairs continued for Saffron across long centuries, right up until the period of Lisliar's ascendancy, when the eastern empire invaded the reclusive state's doorstep and threatened to drown Saffron in blood before crushing it entirely. Understanding that they stood no chance against so formidable a foe, Saffron's king appealed for aid to Moenia, and in exchange for abandoning his isolation policy and pledging future loyalty to the Church of Arteria, concluded an alliance with the republic. After the allied and Church forces repelled Lisliar's advancing armies, Saffron opened itself to international trade — a development that not only multiplied the southern power's economy many times over, but also enabled it to make an enormous technological leap forward, thanks to all the innovations brought in from outside. The unique creations of Saffron's craftsmen, in turn, gained considerable popularity abroad. In the year 719, Saffron's king attempted to conclude a secret treaty with the ruler of Lisliar in the hope of dealing a treacherous blow to Moenia's forces from behind, but was betrayed by his own bodyguards. From that year to the present, power in the country has rested in the hands of the royal guard — fervent followers of Arteria. The people of Saffron have a custom of supplying departing relatives and neighbors with the necessities for their journey, so that the road might be a little easier and so that travelers do not forget their home. Origin Various gifts from the people of Saffron. Unique Skills

	Lisliar Sharan Aganzo, founder and tsar of Lisliar, was born in 483 in Marion on territory belonging to the Knights of Arteria. From childhood dreaming of joining the order's ranks, upon growing up he abandoned this idea and preferred to enter the Isselia Academy to study magic, as at that time he found it more fascinating and useful compared to weapon mastery. Years later, after a brilliant graduation from the magic academy, he joined the church and over time rose to the rank of paladin — the most honorable a man could aspire to. His devotion to the goddess, however, was not as strong as his comrades surrounding him believed. He secretly studies magic forbidden by the church and in 510, at the height of the military conflict with the Selvari, leaves the service, grabbing several valuable church artifacts, which he managed to achieve not least because all the valkyries and most of the troops were engaged in the north. Taking advantage of the chaos reigning in this era and the church's preoccupation with more pressing matters, he heads southeast, where he begins rapidly gathering followers around him and uniting under his command what remained of the once great Hekkelia — its numerous shards. By the time the war in the north ended and the Church managed to recover, the followers of Arteria had a new problem in the form of the overgrown empire of Aganzo, which he named Lisliar. In the early years of his reign, the newly-minted tsar sincerely tried to bring his ideal of a perfect state to life, striving to save people from what he then considered "the tyranny of the church," and to some extent he succeeded, as the model he created was quite effective, but over time he grew tired of micromanaging the country and let everything run its course, allowing the regional administration to handle all internal matters independently. Over time, Lisliar came to be run by an elite consisting of powerful wizards and wealthy individuals engaged in the slave trade. As for the tsar himself, he tried to occupy himself with things removed from politics — forbidden magic, visual arts, fencing, music, etc. He also gathered many wives of almost all nationalities, but over time realized that no matter what he did, little brought him joy. During periods of severe existential crisis, he even attempted suicide but, ironically, his body, possessing strong regenerative abilities, obligingly refused to fulfill his impulsive desires. After such episodes, he would often lock himself in his chambers and stare for a long time, sometimes at the ceiling, sometimes at the wall. The Tsar of Lisliar is customarily revered as a god, as he was the founder of the country, the strongest wizard on the continent, and a long-liver, but since he takes virtually no part in governing the country, he is rarely spoken of in high society. Currently, Lisliar is completely isolated from the rest of the world: the Church of Arteria and its allies refuse to trade with this country and prevent others from doing so, demanding that the empire make enormous internal changes. It is nearly impossible to enter or leave Lisliar without the knowledge of the church or its allies. Origin +12 to HP, -3 to faith. Unique Skills
	Airisufir During the era of the northern invasion, most of western Visteria was occupied by war with the invaders, but there were those who did not want to subject themselves and their well-being to risk. Lance Ainz Air el Sufir, grandmaster of the Marion knightly order "Clemantis" and one of the richest people in Visteria at that time, took advantage of the situation to organize a large expedition to the southeast. The first city he founded, which also served as the future capital, was named after the order based there. In the years that followed, the knights of "Clemantis" and the numerous expeditioners hired by Lance engaged in conquering the tribes and small states that existed here, which led to the birth of the empire of Airisufir, named after the family name of its founder and first monarch. Thanks to the significant budget of the organized expedition, competent planning, and a favorable confluence of circumstances (the war in the west, the church's preoccupation, and Lisliar which had only just begun to form), Airisufir managed to achieve enormous influence in the region and great economic and military power. The latter was caused not least by the wealth of natural and human resources in this region, which was not distinguished by discipline or knowledge of the military craft. A favorable geographical location between the west and east also allowed Airisufir to become an important trade hub, however, the embargo imposed on Lisliar is to some extent disadvantageous for the young empire. There is also significant class stratification in this country, and while before the law everyone is more or less equal, in economic terms only members of the aristocracy (descendants of the knightly order and former expeditioners who took part in the founding of the country) and craftsmen of exceptional talent live richly, while people who do not stand out with any particular skills and abilities live quite poorly. The latter, in turn, usually consist of representatives of the peoples conquered by Airisufir. Airisufir is an ally of the church, but does not always follow its recommendations and conflicts on a number of issues. For example, the empire is currently attempting to annex the territories of nonhuman tribes, while church representatives believe that they should be left alone. The current empress, Astraea Air el Sufir, is known for her love of jewelry, various luxury items, masterwork items, etc., but it is too early to speak of her qualities as a leader and ruler, as she ascended the throne only five years ago at the age of 16.

	Meristia The land of the Meristian elves is located between Lisliar and Airisufir, while to the south of them live numerous tribes of aggressively-minded nonhumans. Despite this, the elves managed to defend their home from the encroachments of ill-wishers for a very long period of time, even despite their lack of a centralized government. Meristian society is based on mutual voluntary agreements, cooperation, and mutual aid in conditions where every member of society stands as equal to their fellow countrymen. The elves do not have a state as such, but depending on the situation, they can choose representatives of cities and villages, military leaders, etc. — depending on what today's realities require. Meristians are distinguished by their love of adventure, directness, and courage. Very often, representatives of this nation can be found in various corners of the continent, and Meristia's access to the sea has allowed these people to conduct productive trade with the countries of western Visteria for entire centuries.

	Nonhuman Tribes Few can say with complete certainty what the nonhumans of eastern Visteria are, but many lean towards the belief that they are demons from another world who came to terrorize people and drown the continent in suffering and blood... A slightly less popular but more rational point of view holds that nonhumans are simply mutants, in the distant past once human, that is, yet another of the many consequences of the "dark ages" era. Missionaries of the Church of Arteria have repeatedly tried to establish contact with the nonhuman tribes in the hope of transforming their aggressive and backward cultures, but most often such endeavors did not end in success, not least because each tribe exists independently of one another, but despite this, some representatives of these peoples can sometimes be encountered in human cities, but not very often, as few nonhumans possess sufficient intelligence to integrate into human society.

	Eisha Clans The agnatic clans of the Eisha people inhabit the territory of eastern Visteria and, in their culture, give preference to hunting and the martial craft. Children are taught horseback riding from a very early age, which is why grown Eisha warriors are sometimes compared to centaurs — so deftly do they handle horses. In addition to horseback riding, they are also excellent with bows and swords. The nomadic Eisha Clans are the scourge of civilized states, whose cities are constantly subjected to raids from them. The eastern warriors are merciless and recklessly brave, but at the same time quite disciplined: order in their armies requires warriors to provide mutual assistance and support, and cowardice is almost always punished by death. The leaders of the clans, as a rule, become the warriors most respected by the nomads, sometimes the strongest of men, and sometimes the wisest. Often, leadership in a clan is passed to one of the sons of the previous leader, if he is worthy of it.

	Aster Aster is the southernmost state of Visteria and also one of the least populated. Except for the conquests of the legendary Eshingir and his numerous followers, the local inhabitants, surrounded by deserts and other conditions unfriendly to humans, have always lived in isolation and rarely leave their native lands. Those who leave are usually either seekers of adventure or a better life, or those who wish to somehow help their homeland by earning money in foreign lands, usually through the assassin's craft practiced here since ancient times. Physical labor in Aster is performed by skeletons raised through necromancy, who are relatives and friends of the living. It is said that for the Asterian rituals to work properly, a spiritual connection must exist between the living and the dead.

	Telos Telos is one of the most ancient states that originated in the era of the dark ages, it is the homeland of many great scientists, philosophers, and generals. Throughout its history, the mighty and fearless soldiers of this country fought off hordes of barbarians, monstrous creatures, and even the vampires of the north and minions from the demon world, but never lost to anyone, relying only on themselves, a deep understanding of the philosophy of war, and strict discipline. Although the inhabitants of Telos do not deny the existence of deities and other supernatural forces (on the contrary, they believe in them and composed numerous myths and legends about them over the centuries), they refuse to rely on their help or fear them in any way. Instead, they are accustomed to achieving everything with their own hands and believing exclusively in their own strength and the importance of camaraderie: working together to achieve the common good. One of the main differences between Telos and other cultures of Visteria is the position of women in their society; they do not have a significant role in society, but by their duty are obliged to look after the home and raise children when their husbands go to war. At other times, they attend to their own affairs separately from men, gathering in interest groups or based on place of residence. In the culture of Telos, it is commonly believed that men surpass them in absolutely everything — they are smarter, stronger, and more beautiful, and therefore there is not much use from the weaker sex. When choosing a wife, the men of Telos select girls either from the families of their close friends or seek out those who are smarter and physically healthier, so that their offspring are more likely to possess positive traits. In Telos, it is believed that every worthy man should be good at everything: masterfully wield a sword, understand the sciences, grasp the subtleties of politics, and cook so that even the gods would envy the taste of earthly dishes. Due to the cultural characteristics of Telos, this country has always had tense relations with the Church of Arteria and its allied countries.

	Midas The inhabitants of Midas differ from the people of Visteria in their short stature and significantly more robust physique, which is why many classify them as nonhumans similar to snakemen and orcs, but due to the inaccessibility of the lands of Midas (mountains and dungeons of the northeast), significant conflicts between the dwarves and other Visterians have almost never occurred, and the inhabitants of Midas are always happy to trade with foreigners and could not care less about their attitude towards them; the dwarven people are not so petty or proud that this would hinder them from conducting productive business. Dwarves love money very much, but they will never take for themselves what does not rightfully belong to them. Their main pride is in their chosen profession, in which they always strive to achieve mastery. In 333, the first church built by followers of Arteria appeared in Midas, and since then the dwarves have converted to worship the foreign goddess, leaving their own customs in the past. This took time, but the conversion occurred without any significant conflicts. Origin -50% to evasion, +1% to health for each point of resilience and power, triple damage to "large" creatures. The character takes 1 more block point if the opponent parries the character's attack and also paralyzes them for one turn if they fail a resilience check*2 against the dwarf's power.

Mirai The Yamato Islands are located in the very heart of Visteria between its western and eastern parts, which during the period of the dark ages made these territories isolated from the rest of the world and caused the local culture and beliefs to develop separately from the other peoples of Visteria. In the past, several independent and distinct kingdoms existed on the territory of these islands, but over time they were all united into one state — the Mirai Empire. The first emperor forbade the feudal lords from warring among themselves and proclaimed an era of endless harmony, intending to build a paradise on earth for his subjects. This, however, did not happen, and peaceful times alternated with wartime and vice versa with regular frequency, and at times imperial power even faded into the background, remaining purely ceremonial, while his vassals fought for real power in the country. In 155 from the founding of the Church of Arteria, the then-ruler of Mirai took it into his head to expand the borders of his empire onto the continental part of Visteria and involved himself in a major war with the church and its allies, which lasted long and bloodily but, in the end, ended in the defeat of the island empire. Mirai had to allow missionaries onto its lands and grant sovereignty to one of its own islands, whose ruler agreed to become a faithful follower of the overseas goddess of love. Since then, the imperial family has lost real power, and the islands have come under the control of feudal lords warring among themselves. Conflicts with the countries of Visteria occur among the local rulers, but not often. Otherwise, contact with the continent is limited to trade. Origin +1 to agility, +1 to beauty, +1 to intelligence, +1 to spirit, +1 to faith.

Due to the immense cultural and political influence of the Church of Arteria and its role in shaping modern civilization, the goddess of love is currently worshipped by most of the continent.

Cult of Arteria (heretics)[/FONT][/color]

The followers of this cult are among the long-standing opponents of the Church of Arteria, having existed long before its official founding. According to the beliefs of this cult's members, the cause of the civilization's collapse that led to the era of dark ages was human greed and ingratitude. As they believe, life in a utopia was not enough for some people, and they wanted to rule over others, not simply stand as equals with them. They desired wealth and power not so much to live with dignity, but to live better than their neighbor, which is why they turned for help to the dark gods and demons who gladly provided their services and, over time, did not miss the opportunity to worsen the situation, clouding the hearts of an increasing number of weak-willed people. The cultists believe that to resolve the conflict that threatened the entire world, Arteria sealed herself along with her opponents in the world of the gods, where she continues to fight them to this day. For them, to enjoy life at the cost of the sacrifice made by the goddess and her daily suffering is the worst of crimes. The followers of this cult pursue two goals: the liberation of the goddess and the destruction of all the unfaithful and impure. __________ ✦ The character's attacks and spells can deal lethal damage; the chance is equal to piety. ✦ Chance to perform an additional turn; the probability is equal to piety. ✦ Defensive and offensive rolls against characters adhering to a different belief (except the Church of Arteria) are 50% more effective. ✦ The character will fight to the last, even if his health goes deep into the negatives, but resurrecting him will then be impossible. ✦ Ability to use Arteria's talismans. ✦ Access to Einherjar and Paladin skills. ✦ Features of this belief do not work if the character strays from the righteous path.

Dakara is a word from the ancient Hekkelian language which translates to righteousness, karma, and honor, whereas the core of the culture and religious beliefs of the people of that time was reverence for one's own family and, especially, ancestors. The peoples inhabiting ancient Hekkelia were very meticulous in keeping chronicles of their family tree and always placed the well-being of their own dynasty first. These customs were particularly pronounced in the lives of the aristocracy of the time: representatives of noble blood practiced incest and in most cases married their close relatives. It was even believed that the bodily fluids of the newlyweds on their first night had healing properties and could heal both bodily and spiritual wounds. Ancient Hekkelia, which occupied the territories of modern Lisliar and nearby regions, was one of the few countries in Visteria that managed to organize itself during the era of dark ages and achieve a long period of prosperity, but even it could not pass the test of time and one day faded into oblivion, leaving behind only fragments of its former greatness, having forever lost the technological and cultural achievements of the past. But despite this, some of the dynasties of ancient Hekkelia continue to exist to this day, still cherishing their family chronicles and observing the traditions of the ancient past, even if they have to live in various corners of the continent and adapt to the customs of other cultures. __________ ✦ When choosing this belief, the player selects one of the available dynasties to which their character will belong, receiving the corresponding bonuses. The character can be of any human origin (except countries of Yamato) and use the national bonuses of the country in which he was born and raised.

Anyone who makes a contract with a demon becomes its minion, and in almost every corner of Visteria such people face either execution or, at best, exile. This is because only initially traumatized and dangerous individuals, or those who will inevitably become such, deal with demons — demonic influence always and without exception negatively affects the minion, developing in him the most terrible qualities that exist in people, and no cure or method of exorcism has been developed for millennia. Be that as it may, consent to enter into a contract is always given by a person of his own free will, and the details of the agreement depend on who he decided to contact. __________ ✦ A character with this belief chooses one of the demons with whom he has made a contract.

	Gonzo, Lord of Lust Gonzo's minions are driven by lust, and primarily these are the dregs of society who are unable to satisfy their base desires without the support of supernatural forces. Among them are also insatiable perverts for whom life in a culture based on church principles is unbearable... The favorite pastime of the demons of lust is to destroy the family and love bonds of successful couples, and there is nothing more pleasant for them than to indulge in carnal pleasures with their target in front of their loved ones. The Lord of Lust and his minions can transform from women into men and vice versa, but more often prefer to choose women as their victims, since the demons themselves are incapable of procreation. In addition, their bodies can secrete a powerful aphrodisiac that allows them to achieve their insidious goals with greater ease. Summoning Gonzo and making a contract: after performing the ritual, the demon worshiper will have to satisfy the Lord of Lust in the most unpleasant way for himself... Although they say that even so, everyone remains satisfied. __________ ✦ Once a month, the character can change gender. ✦ The character's pheromones can cause those around them (at will) to experience an irresistible sexual attraction (will check against a value of '50'). ✦ Time alone with Gonzo's minion will cause the character to suffer from satyriasis or nymphomania.
	Karia, Queen of Demons Of all the numerous domains into which the world of demons is divided, Karia owns the largest, distinguished by the largest population and the most grandiose architecture, while the demons of many other domains live generally in caves or some swamps. The main aspect of Karia is pride, and she demands from her minions first and foremost absolute submission and her own deification. Her followers in the human world are obliged to achieve ever new victories in her honor or lose their value and lose their own soul. For some reason, possibly due to enmity with Gonzo, Karia forbids her servants to satisfy their sexual needs. Summoning Karia and making a contract: after performing the ritual, the demon worshiper needs to show his insignificance before the Queen of Demons, but never and before no one else bow down. __________ ✦ +10 HP, +10 SP, +2 AP.
	Iron, Demon of Schadenfreude Iron is one of the most mysterious and unpredictable demonic lords; this is because his intentions are sometimes very difficult to understand. It is known, however, that he loves people very much, but not so much them as the ironic tragedies in their lives accompanied by the gleeful fun he experiences watching the suffering of mortals who have lost everything one step away from achieving their goal or dream. Iron's minions rarely cross paths, but must lead an "interesting life" otherwise they risk falling down the stairs and breaking their neck at any moment, or maybe eating an exotic fruit and getting poisoned. Summoning Iron and making a contract: after performing the ritual, the demon worshiper will have to somehow make the Lord of Schadenfreude laugh; if Iron gives him a "thumbs up" then the contract will be concluded, and if a "thumbs down" then something bad will happen to the summoner... __________ ✦ Iron fulfills his minions' individual wishes depending on his mood.
	Kasha, Herald of Melancholy Kasha is one of the few great demons who is not considered completely evil and corrupt; he has no domain of his own in the demon world, nor even any servants.

When the dark ages came to Visteria, the inhabitants of the Yamato islands returned to worshiping their own deities, who were the center of their beliefs before the appearance of Arteria and her followers on their lands. For this reason, as well as because the islands are located far from the main continent, the local culture developed separately and differs greatly from other countries of Visteria.
According to legends, Tomoe is the creator of the Yamato islands and those who inhabit them; she is revered by the locals as the supreme deity, and they themselves call themselves her children or, in other cases, children of Yamato. The basis of the consciousness of Yamato culture is the awareness of one's place in life and devotion to one's purpose, depending on one's social status, profession, gender, etc., which is why there has always been a very strict hierarchy on the islands, both at the governmental level and in relationships between people.

The Legend of Crag
These records describe the exploits of Crag Ashinger, one of the descendants of an Asterian conqueror. After the collapse of the Hekkelian kingdom, he ruled over one of the fragments of that once-mighty power but was overthrown by the locals for cruelty, greed, and incompetence in administrative matters. They wanted to execute him but failed; Crag fled with his trusty two-handed axe and stallion, killing no less than a hundred pursuing warriors along the way. After that, he gathered loyal followers and continued living as a bandit, terrorizing the inhabitants of southern and eastern Visteria until his old age. It is said that his descendants built him a tomb somewhere in the territory of modern Airisufir. The envelope accompanying these records supposedly contained a map marking this tomb.

Estella Liod

Place of Birth: Reginleiv (June 607)
Estella was born into a simple family and from childhood admired the universally beloved Arteria. She often asked her parents first, and then the priestesses, about stories related to the goddess of love, how her righteous followers should live, and so on. Her peers knew Estella as a kind and responsive girl, ready to sacrifice everything for those around her. Observing such a pure soul, one of Estella's teachers recommended church service to her, which made her incredibly happy. The young girl, although clumsy and rather slow-witted, possessed enough persistence and natural aptitude to become a fully competent warrior. Her mentors prepared Estella to protect people in trouble and fight injustice, but fate had something else in store.

The older Estella became and the more she learned about the world and her faith, the more she could not understand certain things. Here she was, Arteria, the goddess of love, beautiful in every way, and the women of Visteria resembled her in every way, and even only girls can become Valkyries, but how did it happen that such disgusting creatures as non-humans and men exist in the world? "Surely this was the work of demons and dark gods" — she decided, believing that the fall of the ancient civilization also happened because of them. Such thoughts led Estella to insomnia and headaches until she finally decided for herself that the meaning of her life was to "cleanse the world of filth"... And so began her campaign against non-humans and men, whom she mercilessly killed at every convenient opportunity. Unfortunately for her, she did not possess enough intelligence to do this carefully and was eventually caught. She was isolated from society and for many years they tried to cure her, but no one ever succeeded.

Mira Air el Sufir

Place of Birth: Marion (April 502)
Mira did not know her parents and spent her entire childhood as an orphan, but her magnetic personality and warm smile always attracted the attention of those around her. She never lacked friends, and even her rivals eventually developed at least respect, if not sympathy, for her. Besides this, she was also very talented with a spear and showed great promise in the military craft. All these personal qualities and talents did not go unnoticed, and one day the Grand Master of the order in whose territory she lived, Lance Ainz Air el Sufir, wanted to adopt her. She had no reason to refuse and agreed, thus entering the family of the future emperors of Airisufir.

Mira's peak of glory came during the Order of Clematis's conquests and the expeditions hired by Lance to explore the lands of southeastern Visteria. As one of the order's captains, she not only fought bravely herself but also instilled a spirit of heroism in those who followed her, leading them to victory. At the same time, she treated her opponents with respect and strongly discouraged any inappropriate behavior from her subordinates, helping the invaders maintain their reputation and avoid unnecessary conflict with the locals. She was also known for her riding dinosaur, which she used to traverse battlefields — a tactic she copied from the serpent-men and which eventually took root in the armed forces of the future empire.

Mira fell in battle against the Eisha clans, defending her subordinates who had lost the ability to fight to her last drop of blood, leaving no descendants behind.

Minamoto Takeru

Place of Birth: Mirai (February 157)
Takeru's birth and childhood fell during a long war between the islands of Yamato and continental Visteria. During this war, his once influential family lost everything, and his beloved sister, who had practically raised him, died. When the war ended, all Takeru had was a naturally weak body and a katana inherited from his father. Fortunately, he had been taught medicine by his sister and the way of the sword by his father since childhood, so he could both defend himself and earn a living. He was also aided in life by his pleasant disposition, charm, and incomparable beauty. Even when he left his homeland and traveled across continental Visteria, everyone he met described him as a wonderful young man.

However, this youth had another side. Although limited by his weak body, it did not stop him from studying the technique of Iaido, which he eventually perfected. He traveled across Visteria not to see new lands and observe how other people lived, but to kill its strong warriors. He acted very carefully and confidently, and few could suspect him of such deeds due to his pleasant personality and poor health. It is said that before he was caught, Takeru killed over a thousand people. When he was executed, he confessed that he did not do it out of hatred, as his accusers had previously thought. He stated that he did not consider the inhabitants of Visteria or their culture inferior to his homeland, nor did he harbor hatred for them because of his family's fall, but in his opinion, future conflicts between the children of Tomoe and the inhabitants of Visteria were inevitable, so he simply wanted to contribute to weakening a future enemy. His true motivation, however, remains a mystery to many historians to this day.

Sylphida

Place of Birth: Northeastern Visteria (???)
In the past, the existence of cryptids was questioned and considered by most of the continent's intellectual community to be the stuff of mythology and fairy tales, but with the development of civilization and means of communication, it became reliably known that representatives of this unusual people were not fiction. The external distinguishing features of cryptids are horns and long, pointed ears, similar to elven ones. Cryptids have no state of their own and travel from place to place, trying to maintain the balance of nature and the universe, not guided by such moral concepts as good and evil. The goals that cryptids set for themselves vary depending on the personal worldview of each individual representative of this people, but, for example, some may aim to protect nature from the encroachments of technological progress, while others try to weaken powerful states and organizations or, on the contrary, provide assistance to those lacking influence or power, only to crush them again decades later if they become too influential and threaten the balance.

Sylphida, unlike most of her kin, was distinguished by a great interest in the cultures of the peoples of Visteria and at some point settled in Mive, enjoying all the benefits of a technologically developed civilization with great joy. During her time there, she was something of a landmark, and many turned to her for advice or help, and she was always happy to provide it.

During the invasion of the northerners, Sylphida helped both northerners and southerners, not dividing them into sides but seeing each as an individual in need of help, for which she incurred the wrath of the victorious side. After the war ended, soldiers led by Artorius der Grosse tracked down and executed Sylphida for the help she had previously provided to opponents of the liberation movement, but in the hearts of the people of Visteria, she was remembered fondly. It is said, however, that her spirit remained disappointed and angry at mankind...

Meristianna

Place of Birth: South of Visteria (~500 years before the founding of the church)

A millennium ago, the world was very different from what it is today, and life was much harder for most, making people and non-humans more wary and skeptical, but Meristianna was loved everywhere. Her charisma, energy, intelligence, beauty, love of freedom, and irresistible thirst for adventure charmed those around her and made them love her even despite initial prejudices.

During her long adventures, Meristianna visited almost every corner of Visteria and even the Yamato Islands, which in those years was nearly unattainable. This land became the longest stop on her journey; there she made a large number of acquaintances and friends, shared her knowledge of the world, and in exchange became more closely acquainted with the local culture. For unknown reasons, she liked it there more than anywhere else, but she still couldn't stay in one place for too long and one day left those lands, returning to her adventures. On her path, she encountered benevolent followers of Arteria, disciplined Telos warriors, chaotic Hekkeanians, freedom-loving nomads, unusual non-humans, cunning demons, sorrowful walking dead, monstrous creatures, spirits of the past, and much more.

Meristianna knew more about the world than anyone else, but during her travels, she never could accept one thing — the concept of the state. No matter how much she racked her brains over philosophical reflections, she found more drawbacks than advantages in it. But be that as it may, returning to her homeland, she became a hero in the eyes of her people. Legends of her adventures and exploits spread even during the heroine's own lifetime. Over time, she became a symbol of the elves and a role model, and it was her life philosophy that formed the basis of her people's consciousness.

The elven land is named after Meristianna, and her remains rest in the depths of the sacred elven forest along with other heroes of this people, where outsiders are forbidden to enter.
