Elswood Farm

Elswood Farm revolves around the life of Elias Elswood, a completely ordinary farmer living in a quaint, quiet village off in the countryside of the Sinclairate Kingdom. At least he was ordinary until one day after helping out the villagers, he was gifted with a small goat. A small blue goat. No one else seemed to think it was strange that this goat was blue, no matter how many times Elias tried to point it out. Without a choice, he took the small goat back with him, only to discover the next day that the goat had turned into a small child...?!

The goat (child?) turned to look at him with very deadpan eyes and said one word, "Hungry."

Since then, Elias' ordinary life becomes very unordinary, such as finding out his childhood friend Cerise has been a witch all along. He becomes more and more entwined in the strange outbursts of magical occurences, and on top of that, for some reason he keeps collecting new magical farm animals??? However, the more outrageously bizarre his life becomes, the more endangered they are from discovery by the Witch-hunting Crusade.

The Witch and The Knight

In recent years, there’s been a sharp increase in magic-related incidents and, as a member of the Sinclairate Knighthood, Lucine is responsible for surpressing such mishaps. The Crusade Knights are also known as the Witch-Hunters as part of their job also entails tracking down and apprehending those with magical affinity.

Lucine is dispatched to investigate a suspicious incident out in the countryside (she was supposed to be inspecting Elias' farm), but during the journey to her destination she is severely wounded. Luckily, she was saved by a passing traveler—who’s a little quirky and suspicious but... harmless, probably?

A tale of how a witch and a witch-hunter fall in love.

History of Magic

This world used to be enriched with magic. The ancient civilizations of the past were built on it. Those that had mastery over the arts also had influence and power, but such a dependence on magic also became their downfall.

Several millenia ago, there was a cataclysmic event that was triggered by a single man. He single-handedly caused the fall of nearly all the civilizations in power. He was named the Envoker, although the reason why has long since been lost to time just like his real name. In fact, strangely, the details about such a large and catastrophic event have been struck from all annals of history. Some myths and legends have tricked down through the generations, but there are always conflicting accounts. Most say the Envoker was an evil warlock seeking to greedily absorb all the mana in the world. Other claimed that in his pursuit of knowledge, he dabbled in forbidden magic which caused the catastrophe. Even some claim that the event was brought about because he was trying to save his nation from doom. Regardless, no one truly knows the truth of what happened back then.

The only truth that remains is that since then mana has drained from the earth, fantastical creatures have disappeared, and magic affinity has waned. Magic is all but extinct now--except for the one or two rare phenomena. When it does crop up, or the rare witch is born, they are often feared and shunned by the people who view it as a bad omen of the reoccurence of the Dark Ages. These were scarce occurences, however.

That is until in recent years... There has been a sudden wellspring of magicial occurences. Almost as if... magic is returning to this dried and mana-parched land?
