"To look into the divine's face we must look into the simplest creatures...", Baramus, Elder of Erus Bridge.
World of Adria, the Age of Iluminescense, Year 1789.
The recent founded cult of the Holy Mother was implanted after the fall of the Elementarist Era. The old traditions were adandoned at the deepest core of the world, while the glory of the new awakened Goddess flourished at the Adria's skies. The higher flag in the name of the Goddess is held by Anos Dominae, the sacred guild that holds the glory of bringing to the light the imaculated sanctity of the new religion.
The goddess was embraced by almost every culture around the known Adria and so began the Age of Iluminescense, sending to the shadows the old beliefs of the Ancient Tradition.
Altough the era of light and progress casted aways the old beliefs, they didn't die completely. A powerful sparkle of the ancient power still lives, hidden, unknown and weakened, but yet feared by the New Age. It is the Mirae.
In the ancient age of Elementarism, the power and belief emanated from the very core of the nature. It was infinite and devastating. The myths and legends were real and walked at the lands alongside with the people. There was harmony and understanding, until the Mirae was found. It is said that, after the Mirae appeared, the balance was broken and the unknown power that pulsed from it was to much to be handled by an already weakened Adria. The conflicts between the Old and New religion were the last drop for the end of the Elementarist Era...
The Mirae was a reality centuries ago. Along the time, from reality it became a story, from story it became a myth and from the myth it became a legend.
What is the Mirae... it is still a mystery in the present world of Adria. But its name is still whispered at the folk's legends, where it appears like being an wicked witch or deadly monster, but the true is, it's true face is still a mystery.
The legend says that ""Thee who hold the Mirae under thy control, will be able to reach the magnificence of a God and change Adrias face." Led by this folk tale many adventurers dived in the deepest regions of the Unknown Adria in order to find the legendary entity, but very few came back of their journey and under the time, the Mirae became only a bedtime story...
Although the mystery about the Mirae lies in the folk stories, nowadays, the desire towards its power didn't die inside some hearts.
Mysterious groups move inside the shadows in an endless search for the precious power, a power that seems to no want to be found...
Presently, the truth about the Mirae is about to change. After three long centuries hidden from the world, the Mirae seems to have been found...
That's where our story begins.
Under a prelude of a storm, strangers appears in the remote village of Aden.
Their intentions... unknown. But the electricity in the air whispers a bad omen towards a simple village house. The Alchemist's house. Fear is coming near that place.
Awakened by the storm, Satina, a simple but smart girl, looks the ceiling of the basement where she lives. She slept too much. Lady Ursula will be angry.
Scaring the sleep from her eyes, Satina gets up from her bed as fast as possible and rushes toward the kitchen where is an angry old woman. She is Lady Ursula, and old alchemist that raised Satina since she was a newborn child. After scolding the girl, Lady Ursula sends her, under the stormy rain to pick the igredients for her potions. Good willed, Satina accepts her fortune, challenges the storm and goes to the woods.
What she fails to know is that, this is the first trigger of her great adventure.
(Here are only some of them. The rest will be released soon.)
Satina is the central character of the story.
She is a common civilian of Aden Village. She is kind, good hearted and clever, gathering friendship with pratically all villagers.
The only world Satina knows is the Aden region and the Linges river plains, making her curious about the rest of the world that she is only able to see in books. She is also deeply devoted to the Goddess, going to pray on the temple everyday.
Satina was raised by Lady Ursula, an old alchemist that doesn't lose the opportunity of difficulting Satina's life. Although the hard treatment she receives from Lady Ursula, Satina is deeply loyal to her and is able to risk herself to accomplish the old lady's wishes.
Despite her exterior fragility, Satina is a very strong hearted and has her values well set, what makes her a strong woman, able to face the danger of a world to help the ones she loves.
Sophie is the village's acolyte and also Satina's best friend.
She is far of being the angelic stereotype of an acolyte. Sophie is a over active and sometimes loudy folk, what makes people around blush with her easyness of mind. Frequently, she doens't have control on her mouth and lets an unproper word spit out when she gets really angry or over joyed.
Along with Priestess Amelia, Sophie looks after the village temple and helps the villagers in need. Kind and strong willed, the acolyte is always helping the ones in need and guiding people to the glory of the Holy Mother.
Sophie has a very protective attitude towards Satina, feeling like she was her younger sister, since they grew up together.
If there is a person Sophie hates , is Lady Ursula. She never loses a chance to curse on the old hag, as she calls the alchemist, receiving reprimends by Satina, who is deeply devoted to her adoptive mother.
Sophie is a person who is the one who is always on the weaker's side, protecting them with the whole force of her will, what makes her the main supportive pillar of the adventure.
Lorenz is Aden Wood's ranger. He is the protector of the Woods and keeps the balance in the creature flow. He is Satina and Sophie's good friend and helps them in many danger situations. Lorenz is very skilled at the use of the bow and it is known that he never misses a target.
Handsome and brave, Lorenz captivate the eyes and heart of many local young women, including Satina. Is not known clearly if the romantc feeling is shared by Lorenz, but it is clearly known that he cares a lot about Satina.
Hard valued and a bit dogmatic, Lorenz stands up to protect the values he considers righteous and works hard to make justice prevail the long his bow can reach.
Lady Ursula is a mysterious person.
It is know that no one on the village knows about her past.
Since she arrived the village, Lady Ursula was never really liked by none of the local folks. Many feared her, many suspected she could be a devote of the dark ancient cults and many just didn't like her unpleasant way of treating people.
Though Lady Ursula was an alchemist, a person not very well accepted by the fervorous Goddess' followers, she was tolerated since she held a good relationship with the local priestess, Amelia. Ursula's service as alchemist helped the villagers in many problems and dangers, what made her uneasy acceptness by the local folk cease.
When she appeared in town with a little newborn baby in her arms, many of the village people was surprised, since all they knew that this stone hearted woman would not be able to raise a little girl. But Satina raised and was liked by everyone in the village.
Lady Ursula has a rough way of treating her adoptive child and this fact raises the fury of many of the closer people to Satina, but none of them is able to challenge the mysterious alchemist.
Much more about Lady Ursula is yet unknown, but bad omens lies nearby her house...
The Ouroboros clan is yet a mystery. Three of their members appear in the very beggining of the story. It is come out to know that they are looking after the Mirae, but their intentions in Aden Village such as their reasons are yet unknown. But a threatening wind blows toward Aden...
The only names revealed yet are Steya and Zatara.
I have the pleasure to present you some of the characters that will be present on Chapter 1 and 2, scheduled to be released on May.
Member of Capitoline's city high society, Bellatix Alexandra is one of the Capitoline's Tower wizards. For some reason yet unknown, she travels over Adria avoiding contact with her Order. It is known that she after graduating at Capitoline's Tower, she joined the Anos Dominae Order, becoming member of the Iluminati.
In her actual situation, Bella is very reticent about her years in Anos Dominae, such as her reasons for keeping herself apart from it.
Although being mysterious, Bella is a very pleasing person to have near. Cheerfull and kind person, she always looks foward raising her party's morale, and, even in difficult situations she almost never loses her smile.
Bella is very humble about her magic skills, never vangloriating herself even when she is praised by other people, always acting silly when that happens.
Some who doesn't know her may take her for a silly mindded person, but inside that outgoing layer lies a very skillfull magic user, that can keep up as a dangerous oponnent.
Orphan since he was eleven, Gilzu grew up in Heingraad's streets, learning how to survive on his own. In those very streets he learnt the art of thievery, in order to defend himself from the street's dangers.
Gilzu joins the story alongside with Bella. How those two opposites met and became travel companions is "one of the most well kept secret in the whole Adria.", as Bella never ceases to say.
Altough they travel together and keep up to each other, Gilzu and Bella spend most of the time arguing for silly reasons. The wizard never loses the opportunity of beating in Gil, who gets furious and calls her unproper names, what ends in more beating...
Tricky and clever, Gil is a fearful oponnent in battle, using his secret skills for confusing the enemy and emptying his pockets before he gets noticed. He is very determined and never gives up of his goals, but he is often betrayed by his lazyness, what retards his action.
Gilzu will be a usefull travel companion, for his knowledge of the darkest areas of Adria and for his lack of mercy on the unprevent pockets.
Eilfort is known as being the Capitain of Anos Dominae's White Army.
Like Ouroboros Clan's members, he is searching for the Mirae under the Hierophant's request. Thirsty for glory and recognizing, Eilfort will make everything at his reach to be successful at his quest, even if sacrifices have to be made.
Cold hearted and rigid, Eilfort commands his army with iron fist, become one of the most feared knights in the Old Continent.
Following the Illuminati's leads, Eilfort is led to the Aden District, where, supposely, the Mirae is located. Reaching the Linges River town, he comes across with Bella, followed by local folks. Past conflicts boils and confront can't be avoided...
Loena appears alongside Eilfort on the Aden District expedition, introduced as his sister.
Like her brother, Loena is a Knight of Anos Dominae's White Army and is an active member of the Mirae's search quest.
Frequently smiling and acting cordial for her companions, Loena gathers many admirers inside Anos Dominae's armies. Her sword skills are rarely seen, but she is a skillful user of supportive magic, playing often a powerful supportive role in the White Army's battles.
Not much more is yet known about Loena, but it is whispered that she is the most feared woman in the White Army.
