This role-play is set in the world of Kasjadu, a world similar to our own geographically. Kasjadu is set in the same universe as that of Zvso, it being not that far in orbit from it. It has a total of three continents, but we’re going to be focusing on one for now; however, I will keep the other continents on the backburner if anyone is interested. The continent that we’re playing with today is Huyat. Our story takes place in the City Region of Huyat, Validus. The city has been there for as long as anyone can remember, but more people have been finding refuge in its borders ever since the Magnuscassis, which was the greatest and most bloodiest war that Huyat has ever seen. All, save the Island Regions, were involved in the war, and there were terrible losses on all of the sides that did fight in it. It’s been two years since the war has ended and the treaty has been made to benefit all of the Regions, and it’s only now since the tensions have only started to ease off a bit between the people enough for them to come to terms with the existing city Validus where anyone can go to. The Prophet of the Past Generation has unexpectedly passed, and there is no other Prophet to replace her. The Prophet is the mediator of Huyat, finding peace even in the most unlikely of situations; there is only one Prophet per generation, and when one passes, another rises to take their place. The High Autarch of Validus, a Honqip by the name of Jynid Tradge, is certain that the Prophet is somewhere in the city of Validus. He believes that since the last Prophet was from the Kelijah Region and Validus would be next in the Cycle of Prophets. Although there is no exact evidence backing up his claims, a good portion of the city believes him and is on the lookout for the next Prophet of Huyat; however, there is a group named the Elegant Knives that has claimed that the Cycle of Prophets has ended, and that Jynid should be replaced with a Xefic in their group by the name of Vaos Oiuy as High Autarch. They have been using extreme methods to sway the people (e.g., assassinations of Jynid’s closest friends and family, destroying some public property, etc.) and some of the Validus people have been swayed to join their cause of believing that there is going to be no more Prophet. The people of Validus seem to be falling under the ploy that the High Autarch has been going insane after all the deaths of his closest friends and family, although they don’t know for sure that it’s been the Elegant Knives’ cause. In response to the Elegant Knives, Jynid created the Guardians of the Prophet: a strikeforce for the Elegant Knives. They have been going at each other for the past few months since the Prophet’s death. They have unspoken rivalry towards one another, and so basically think of the teams from the Pokémon video games with the rivalry against the main protagonist. The time period that we’re set in is post-industrial, but the Huyatians have literally just come out of it. They are moving along fast in technology, but they haven’t hit the technological point that we are at, as of yet. They have gunpowder, but guns have not become a household item but one for the rich to have. Most people still use blades, but they are switching to muskets and flintlocks. Fashion-wise, it is not uncommon to find women in trousers and tunics, but there are a few of the older generations that still expect women to wear those Victorian types of dresses. Basically think of Hamilton outfits, if that’s what gets you to think about. Races of Huyat The Magic System of Huyat the part y'all been waiting for [Note: People can have multiple subgroups in one of these groups of Talented, but keep in mind that we do not want super overpowered people here. Maybe make them a “jack-of-all-trades, but master of none,” but not a god. Another thing is that one does not need to have a subgroup to be one of the Talented; rather, it’s just an idea and what the people of Huyat have already identified] Characters
