  1. Early Stages of Life
  2.  
  3. Mega continent- travelers journeyed across the continent for decades, generations upon generations, looking for civilization, eventually finding a civilization more sophisticated than them, with their own language machinery completely new to the travelers and a light source, seeming to come from nowhere in particular, on a stone pedestal in the town square protected by some sort of strange barrier.

  5. Origin of Magic
  6.  
  7. People of today think these are just fables, stories passed down to have entertainment. However this is how it happened, and that light was indeed the new source of magic. The magic that they had found had helped them in building and making their civilization more advanced. The only people who have magic are those who are “worthy”. You can be inherently born with it, or you can obtain it throughout life. Being worthy requires you to be a pure being through and through, which is how it is gained through birth. However everybody has a goal that is subconsciously set to them, that when they overcome their challenges and achieve it, they will be worthy. The goal that is set to them is a high goal that will take time, effort, dedication, and perseverance to achieve. It is a goal to overcome their flaws. Magic is uncommon in the world still due to this reason, and even though people know of its presence, it is still spectacular to see it in person. It is uncommon since nobody exactly knows how to achieve this higher power of being. People achieve it, but it has never been discovered how to get it.

  9. Magic
  10.  
  11. Magic comes in a few different forms in this world, one can be spells that are used my hand movements and usually a type of chant or phrase to say, the typical magic you think of when you hear the word in this world, you do not have to usually say anything as it is just for show. However there are other forms where the users are able to manipulate things all around them, no matter what it is they will be able to manipulate it, these are called ancient magis, and their magic is stronger than regular magics. The Ancient Ones have these powers to control the balance of the world, however not everybody is good in this world. There are powerful Ancient Magis that are trying to throw of balance for their own personal gain, you will rarely see these people unless you are a trained Magi or you have a prominent role in society.

  13. Ancient Magis
  14.  
  15. Back to the Ancient Magics, they are far more powerful than normal spells due to their power when mastered, they can manipulate objects, living beings, time, space, among others, however using more powerful magics has devastating effects on the user, usually causing body functions shutting down for periods of time or shortening of lifespan. Any Ancient Ones will be seen rarely manipulating space, time, or many of the stronger aspects if life to conserve their life force. Using even basic magics such as moving objects and manipulating them and such, will drain their energy relatively quickly and they will need rest many times after a battle or heavy use of magics.

  17. The Light
  18.  
  19. The light that was discovered many many centuries ago can be found at the capital city Arelquin, and it is still used as a source of magic and power to this day. It is the all being and is looked at like a ‘god’ to most.
  20.  
  21. Technology
  22.  
  23. The world, Dacrela, is reliant on steam power, plus magic power to get around and use technology. Magic and steam power a person’s everyday life in the cities, and will be seen commonly in larger areas. In smaller areas, they are reliant on one or two magic users that they have for power. If they do not have any they must rely on steam power or manual power, which is not the best way or efficient. Usually Magis from cities will move to smaller towns to be paid for their powers and help to the town, rather than stay in the city. The most prominent city is the one located on Dresolar, one of the two main continents. The city, Arelquin, houses the All Being, and has some of the most prominent magic users. The city has steam powered, mostly everything in the city, and use the All Being to power everything as well.
  24.  
  25. Science
  26.  
  27. Science plays hand in hand in the world of Dacrela. Science plays as much of a role as technology or magic. It is used to find ways around the energy depletion of magic, find cures for illness, and anything else basic science can do for us. However many science devices are different due to the influx of magic and the ways they can manipulate objects. What one thing we cannot do with science, we can with an Ancient One, manipulating an object to study it further with science and the technology available.
  28.  
  29. Geography
  30.  
  31. There are two main continents in the world of Dacrela. The main one being Dresolar and the second continent being Eoriquar. North East Dresolar has many mountain areas convering it. It has many fishing and oceanside cities on the coast. There are many mining towns in the north east due to the mountains, and in the center is the most technology advanced cities and areas on the continent. The southern part is mostly flat, plains, farms, etc. There are farming towns, many automated using Magics, as with a lot of the labor in Dacrela.
  32.  
  33. Eoriquar is more science, and technology based, though not as advanced as Dresolar, they are working on making many advancements using science and magics together.

  40. Maybe describe the immediate setting of what you want to do, I.e. the city/nation its set in, what it’s like geographically, what kind of governance system it has in place, what kind of people/things live there, what their culture/s is, how said culture interacts with magic, what kind of industries are especially prominent, etc
