  1. Past the dashed line is the CURRENT scenario, that must be read. Below is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to be read.
  2.  
  3. The world of Nobella is a massive world. It spans out so far and wide that most people are reluctant to head outside of the three main continent's boundaries. These continents are the main super powers, with the other small isles either being considered part of one of the continental nations, or being populated by third world powers that aren't really remarkable enough to have a name for themselves. You all hail from any of these islands; be it from the main continent, or one of the lesser-known isles.
  4.  
  5. Magic is very prevalent in the world of Nobella. In fact, technology flourished solely thanks to it, and while we may call the phenomena 'magic', those who live in Nobella often liken it to a science instead. This branch of 'science' is called Thaumaturgy, which relies on carefully breaking down and reshaping the world's various aspects and components into powerful, magical effects. Thanks to Thaumaturgy, technology has advanced heavily to the point where ships for far travel have been invented several years before. Thousands of airships fly across the globe on a daily basis.

  7. However, with something as powerful as Thaumaturgy, one can guess that something horrible can happen. 50 years ago, a young prince named Kane was orphaned from the assassination of his parents, leading to him losing his right to rule, and subsequently, his exile. Kane escaped with his would-be bride to live this life, and while he went unheard of for some time, whispers of a cult began to spread across the world of Nobella. A religion focused on the empowerment of oneself through Magic began to spread across the land, with promises of Godhood being granted to those most loyal to its supposed 'God'. This cult, often called the 'False Gods', slowly crept into power until Kane and Cecile managed to reveal themselves.
  8.  
  9. Within days, they lead an army of Magi to sweep through Atros, quickly reclaiming Kane's rulership, and succeeding in the rebellion. Their lust for power, however, didn't stop there. Kane promised his followers the potential of ascending beyond the mortal limits of man, promising monumental power achieved through Thaumaturgy and magic. This promise later lead to Kane and what he called his Apostles to lead a war unlike any other; with hundreds of Magi standing at the front line.
  10.  
  11. Both sides suffered great losses. Some countries were even scarred permanently; but after about 10 years of war, Kane was finally defeated, which ushered in an entirely new age. This age was called 'The Age of Dawn', signifying the opportunity to finally have respite from the horrible war.
  12. -------------------------------------------------
  13.  
  14. You yourself are a hero of this world. One of the many members that fought within the Golden Circle. Your power served the circle very well, be it incredible magical prowess, or exceptionally strong artifacts you've learned to wield. You have grown to become one of the most prominent figures in the world of Nobella...that is, until the final attack on Kane. The battle for Atros turned out to be a much more daunting task than ever imagined.
  15.  
  16. Many fell during the battle, and though you heroes managed to help partake in the battle, your combined might proved unable to beat Kane without tasting defeat yourselves.
  17.  
  18. And that's all you remember before you woke up from your sleep! Perhaps a few inklings of your past remain, but most of it remains a distant fog; if anything, the only memory retained is the defeat of Kane...your past powers remain absent, as with all magical power.
