Eshia A vast land with many different cultures. Made up of many kingdoms of various sizes which have been at peace with each other for many years. Travel between kingdoms is common and not usually frowned upon.
Altaria The one of the largest kingdoms know for its thriving trade system. The northern most parts of the kingdom are forested foothills that slowly form into mountains as they near the Prynesse boarder. The density of the forests lessen as one approaches the sea to south. There grasslands spotted with small lakes and swamps take over the landscape. most of the population live in urban areas such as sea side trading towns or smaller villages up north. Though there are some orchards that take advantage of the gentle climate nearer the ocean. The largest city is the capital Belden where many of the large trading posts are located. The castle is also located here. Off the coast of Altaria is the mermaid realm. Merpeople often come into the city via the canals that run along the market place to sell what they find in the water. Above the ocean waters are a number of floating islands known as Soclana Islands. This is home to Altaria's dragon population.
Soclana Islands Large floating island that have been around since ancient times, legend has it they were once home to a race that could speak to and control the elements. their voice was said to be like whispers in the wind. However they are something that live on only in legend, no one know if they truly existed. Soclana Island are now home to Eshia's dragon population, situated just south of the coast of Belden the dragons often trade the precious gems and metals that are found in the towering mountains of the island. Dragon cities are grand to behold, dotted along mountain ridges and lush grassy plains the white stone building adorned with intricate detail are awe inspiring indeed. However there are a few more modest villages where houses are a little bit more cozy and inviting. A variety of native plants and animals thrive on the islands, most harmless if not bothered. The most dangerous are the Stone Eaters, massive creatures that drift through the skies around the islands, though peaceful they will attack if provoked, crushing whatever lies in their way.
Dragons: a very diverse species, their colours, and size differing greatly. They have a full dragon form and a anthropomorphic form that they can change between by will. However if badly wounded they will revert back to their original form. The same goes for females who are nearing the time that they must lay their egg. Dragons have their own language that only dragons can speak, others can learn to understand it, but only dragons can make the sounds required to speak it
Misty Valley- a pleasant valley in the heart of Altaria, a river runs down the middle so it's where most of the towns and cities are located. Mushroom Grove- Forest of giant mushrooms and other strange plants and animals. Capital city- a large colourful city with towers and spires. There's a hill in the centre of the city where the castle is located. A popular trade city, has vibrant blue water and white sand beaches scattered with all sorts of treasure, the city thrives on the legends of pirates that roam the seas. Along the coast there is a number of small fishing villages, each with its own stories. There are a number of races living in Altaria, most of mystical descent. Although there are some normal folk living in Altaria. Vampires, wiches, wizards, dragons, and fairies make up th e majority. Although some wild werewolf tribes do live within the forests and mountains. The witches and wizards have there own secluded society deep within the forested areas of the land. Each villages cleverly hidden within the darkness. There is always a head family for their race. And the oldest child serves in the capital city place as the court witch or wizard. The race of witches in Altaria are all cats. Dark Part of the Mermaid's ocean:The dark part of the sea was a place no mermaid dare travel, let alone a selkie. The only creatures that dared to enter the dark sea was Sirens. The Sirens feared not of what roamed within there as they lived in the darkness and feasted off sailors that lost their way and managed to cross into the dark sea. Many bones lay scattered upon the bottom of the dark sea, bones of sailors and women who traveled too far. The Rivers and The Small Underwater Mermaid Towns:The rivers that lead to the mainland capital are nothing special and have no mermaids living there, however many selkies like to just coast around their, giving them easy access to mainlands. There are many small towns underwater that don't have fences around them creating a risk of being murdered by a siren or raided by creatures of the dark part of the sea. Mermaid Capital:Hundreds of Mermaids live throughout the ocean and freshwaters, each of them having colourful homes based on their cheery personalities. The main city underwater is guarded by the city guards, meaning you can't access the city without being granted access by the guards. There's a tall black metal artistic fence that swirls around the entrance of the city and eventually turns into tall cavern rocks that surround the entire city. The reason of their being a fence around the city is because of the close proximity to the mainlands, they didn't want land people to find their city or for selkies and sirens (that resemble the mermaids but seek murder) that roam the waters to enter the cities of merfolk. Within the city gates there are many clothing shops and potion shops being that this is the main underwater city. Many other shops like miscellaneous shops sell small items that the mermaids find after a pirate ship crashes, which of those items you can't sell to the mainlands because it is not of much use to them. Each house is unique and different therefore there is no description to describe them all together. Race notes:Lowland Vampires- also known as Misty Valley vampires, they are the most wide spread and diverse species if vampire in Altaria. The largest settlements are located within Misty Valley, although they are often found in the capital city or many other small towns and cities. Dressing styles of this race generally lean towards colourful fabric that is light weight and easy to move in. Many of the families have their crest sewed onto their cloaks or belts. Both males and females are known to have long hair, often dark in colour although it is not limited to that. Eyes are light in colour, generally blue or green. Other eye colours signal un pure bloodlines. Preferring to sleep during the day this race receives little to no damage from direct sunlight,their powers and reflexes can sometimes be weakened though. they are known to have bad reactions to being starved of blood. Often resulted frenzied rampages. A genetic disease that appears in some pure bloods results in the inability to consume blood that is not fresh. (I.e. They must feed directly from a living creature.) this race cannot turn mortals unless they and the victim wills it to happen. (This rule doesn't always apply in other worlds) lowland vampires are well known for their healers, they can be male or female. Healers wear a special clothing and ornament in their hair so people can find them easier. Less than half of this race are known to posses wings. Highland vampires: also known as Black Rock vampires, they are a small rouge group of vampires that live in the rocky volcanic highlands. They are generally frowned upon by the other races because they are known to assist the werewolf tribes of the North. Highland vampires have their own King and are rarely seen in places other than the highlands. Their royal city houses a large black market and slave traders are also known to sell the poor souls they captured their. This vampire race are mainly dark in colour, dark grey or black often with reddish marking on their ears, face, and limbs. All pure blooded members of the race have red eyes. Unlike the Lowland vampires this race is solely nocturnal and they have stronger feeding instincts. They are more likely to bite mortals, although they don't go into frenzies when deprived of blood for long periods of time. All Highland vampires have bat like wings. Dragons: a majestic race that lives on the floating islands above the mainland. Although most dragons do stay away from the mainland some do travel around the kindgoms selling their wears. Dragons can assume an anthropomorphic form if need be. They come in a variety of different colours, and are known for their ability to make fine jewelry. Some dragon families serve the nobles on the mainland. Mermaids: a playful fun loving race that inhabit it costal waters of Altaria, they can live in both fresh and salt water so they swim down river to visit the capital city in order to buy and sell goods. Their hands are slightly webbed and match the colour of their scales, they often have scales on their arms and sometimes their face. Hair comes in vibrant colours and is generally adorned with seashells and other colourful objects they find. Werewolves: a rouge tribe that inhabits caves in the black rock highlands. They are known for their blackmarkets and slave trading. They breed a subspecies of dragons that are black in colour with red or dark brown eyes. The werewolves themselves are generally brown in colour with dirty blond to brown hair and violet eyes. They are a crafty and deceitful race, although there are some who have escaped that way of life and live in other towns or kingdoms. Selkies:Sirens:Griffins:Kirin:

It was the evening after the Festival of Miaos. Kassis had left a note with his childhood friend Nora asking for her to meet him at their old hideaway. The cave which was hidden behind the crashing downpour of waters that tumbled from the Cliffside. Inside of the cave was covered in vines and moss, it smelled slightly musty but it was bearable. There Kassis sat in silence watching the flickering of his oil lamp. Any sort of jungle noise was blotted out by the water pounding down before him.
Back in the mermaid's domain Yara was swimming around her house cleaning sea slime from the shelves and windows

Nora paced around her room, annoyed that the counsel had provided her with a bodyguard, she didn't need one, she didn't want one, it was pointless. His name was, correction they provided her with a female bodyguard, apparently a former student of Kassis'. She couldn't leave until the bodyguard, her name being Annaria, wasn't looking. Finally tired of waiting, tired of having to be the one who never got what she wanted, she did exactly what Kadin told her not to do. "Ýpnos!" she spoke softly, almost in a whisper. The effect was almost immediately, Annaria had no training in defense against magic, she wasn't very good at being a bodyguard because of that. She swiftly fainted and was knocked unconscious. For who knows how long, it might only be a short time. Thus she spoke another spell, hoping for no one to see her leaving the building. "metaforón me tin apóstasi." The spell which proceeded to take her to the edge of the jungle. She quickly ran through the jungle, it took her about 5 minutes before she could hear the rushing of the water. The grass crunched beneath her feet as she neared the water, stepping into it and splashing through it, it wasn't often she got to mess around, at least like she did when she was younger. If you got closer to the water falling, it got deep enough that instead of walking through the side as to not get wet, you could swim under the fall and appear inside the cave, a nice way to maybe scare Kassis. Diving under the water she held her breath, passing under the fall, and bursting out of the water, soaking wet, in a burst of surprise, yelling "Kassis!"
Cena had just finished her shift at the Sealicious Cafe, before returning home though, she sat down at one of the tables, taking out her shell, the one that was connected to Yara's shell. "Yara, meet me at the Sea Cafe!" She spoke into it before putting it away. One of the servers came to her table asking what she would like, "If possible I would like to wait until my friend comes before ordering. However I wouldn't mind a menu while waiting." She thanked the server as he left the table, going to get menus.

Kassis jumped to his feet and swung his sword out, stopping inches from Nora's neck. Letting out a sigh he slid his sword back into the scabbard. "Oh it's just you. you're lucky i didn't run you through just now. I'm surprised you made it out in such a timely matter, i noticed they posted a guard at your door." he shook his head. "you better not have done anything reckless." he looked around carefully. "you weren't followed right?"
Yara looked at her 'shellphone' and saw there was a bubble in it. popping the bubble Cena's voice sounded in the room, asking Yara to meet her at Sea Cafe. Setting the last decoration back on the shelve she brushed her hair and swam out to meet her friend. Arrived 15 minutes after Cena had gotten a table she sat down across from her friend. "I'm glad to see you made it back in one piece. Nothing too serious happened right? you seemed to be in a rush when you left." Glacing at her menu Yara pondered what she should eat. "Theres so many good choices for food here, i can never decide."

She let out a tremendous burst of laughter, "You couldn't run me through." Her face turned red from laughter before she calmed down. "Oh I didn't do anything reckless." She raised her eyebrows. "And oh, that guard has a name, her name is Annaria." She pronounced the name with a little twist at the end of it, a little, sham, and a little sizzle, rolling her tongue as she spoke. "I wasn't followed, I teleported to the edge of the forest."
Cena smiled, "Oh nothing too serious, other than we maybe got a little bit too cozy." She purred, enhancing the details as she told Yara exactly what had happened between them. "I'm planning on trying something new, the vontay aprehendo corlay strawberry mint cuisine."

"ah yes i know her, good swords maiden, not so good for bodyguard work though. Gets bored much too easily." He sat back down on the mossy rocks. "I guess i'll take your word for it." Pausing for a moment he looked Nora in the eye. "If there was no rules about who could marry who in this society would you have chosen someone other than Kadin?"
Yara gasped "Dragon boy did what!?" she covered her mouth scared she had been too loud. "My, my, my, but the whole calling you an airhead seems to have ruined the moment though." Looking through the menu some more Yara decided on a sea berry crepe topped with editable flowers from the mainland.

"Really... So you like her?" Nora asked him flustered. "Never thought you would go for her, but I mean honestly, I guess you would be the type to go for a swords maiden." Nora looked Kassis in the eye directly, "If I could marry someone else. Hmmm, let's see. Yeah I would."
Cena proceeded to smile, "Sure he called me an airhead, but still, he was so romantic." She totally exaggerated the story. The server had come to the table and now asked for what they were ordering. "I will have your vontay aprehendo corlay strawberry mint cuisine." She watched him write the order down.

Kassis laughed "Like Annaria? what gave you an idea like that? No, the person i like is opinionated and heard headed, tries to act all formal but is really childish. She's reckless and doesn't look out for herself enough. But shes puts her all into everything she does, maybe a bit too much sometimes." He tossed a pebble across the floor. "But i couldn't keep up a relationship with her, we'd just fight all the time probably... maybe we're too much alike in that way. Plus shes being forced to marrying someone else whose much more powerful than i am."
Yara rolled her eyes. "yes, it sounds very romantic." When the server came she gave him her order, continuing with their conversation once he left. "So do you have a means of contacting your new beau now?" She giggled at Cena's dreamlike expression.

Nora's expression went blank. Her eyes in astonishment. "Do you perhaps-" she gulped, "like me?" She inched closer to Kassis, sitting on a large rock beside him. Her body soaking wet, hair dripping, and shivering.
"I never thought about that." Cena grimaced, "I well, no." She stopped in her tracks. "I don't have a way of contacting him." The food had arrived and she was amazed at the plate, it was quite large with wondrous food.

Kassis laughed. "and if i said i did what would your reply be?" He reached out and ran a hand through her wet hair. "you're absolutely soaked... You'll catch a cold if you stay like this Nora." Before he hadn't noticed how soaked she was since she had been standing in the shadows more.
"Well if he really seems to fancy you i'm sure you two will be fated to meet again. One day you'll be swimming down the canal and he'll be waiting there for you." Yara laughed and patted Cena on the shoulder. "to be honest i didn't think it would turn out this way."

"Well, how's this for an answer?" Nora scooted closer to Kassis before speaking a spell. "kalései kouvérta!" It summoned a medium sized blanket that she managed to wrap around the two of them. "I think we might have to sleep here tonight." She shivered, "I've outdone myself, used too much magic today." Not wanting Kassis to think she used the wrong type she added onto her sentence. "Of course it was only simple spells I used, not the dark magic ones."
"You really think so?" Cena questioned Yara. She bit into her food, "mmm delicious!" She chewed the food and quickly swallowed. "Why didn't you think so? I guess I didn't either, it was just wishful thinking and all but here I am."

Kassis smiled. "I suppose we'll have too." he wrapped an arm around her shivering body. "you should really change out of your wet clothes... they'll just make you colder." He paused and moment and turned red when he realized the situation. "ahhh.... i guess you don't have any spare clothes here though."
"Yeah i do, if he cares for you i'm sure he'll come back soon." Yara smiled and ate some of her food.

"who needs dry clothes?" Nora snatched the blanket away from Kassis, "find us some sticks and I'll start a fire with some rocks and my claws." She had under the blanket, peeling her clothes off before quickly throwing them out of the blanket. "And don't try and take the blanket. You can guess why." She was referring to the the clothes that had been thrown into the cave floor.
"That's true." Her stomach growled and she dug into her food some more, before finishing it off.

Kassis nodded "point taken." He hurried off the find some dry timber for the fire. What was Nora thinking? clothing herself in just a blanket, they might be childhood friends but he was still a man and she was a woman. The woman he adored for that matter. He shook his head of course he'd never do anything to hurt of upset Nora., he just hoped that she'd at least show a bit of shame if it had been someone other than him in that cave with her. Picking up the last few branches needed for the fire Kassis return to the cave. The water had made him slightly wet, but it was nothing to worry about. the fire would hopefully dry him off soon. Setting the branches down on the floor he undid his hair from the ponytail and pulled off his headband. "Do you want me to make the fire Nora?"
Yara finished the rest of her crepe too and spun one of the left over flowers around in her fingers. "Would you like to come hunting for crabs with me today? i've heard some of the vendors on shore has been paying a good price for the purple kind."

As Kassis left Nora wondered what they would be able to eat for food later on in the evening. She knew, for a fact that Kassis would always be there for her when she needed help. Staring into the water she saw a little fish jump out and splash back into the water. "That's what we can eat!" She thought out loud from the excitement, and hunger of her stomach. It wasn't that long before Kassis had returned and she heard his question. "Well if you're going to make the fire, I'm going to go and hunt some fish, which would be harder in a blanket than it would be to make a fire." Her face flushed. It would definitely be hard to catch food unless she went without the blanket which was not an option.
"Hunting for crabs? Hmm." She thought about the second thing Yara had said, that the purple crabs were currently worth some cash. "Sounds like a plan!" She stood up from her chair, straightening out her hair.
