Unina

Unina is one of the many planets found within the Xarzengior universe. It is rich in diversity, with the second strongest magical potency amongst all the planets. This has prevented it from growing polluted and damaged. It is a technologically advanced world that sets some technology apart from ours. There is technology similar to, but still more advanced than that of the real world.

Unina is made up of four primary countries - Eispaxea, Kairon, Metraania, and Rinalia. There are a further four land masses that are habitable, but nigh impossible to reach - the Eldraithii, the Lieumanostii, the Everlasting Paradise and the Miladyee Isles.

The four inhabitable countries of Unina differ majorly, mostly in their opinions around the use and presence of magic, or a lack of it. These differing opinions have led to some countries being on tense terms, while others have no contact at all. Kairon and Metraania will openly encourage and utilise magic, integrating it with their inventions. On the very opposite end, Rinalia has outlawed magic in any form and made almost every fantastical species that is of a similar or higher intelligence, extinct. The only fantastical creatures that exist there are comparable to earthen animals.

Unina’s environment is identical to our own, with green grass, blue skies and most of the surface being covered by ocean.

Unina is guided and protected by triplet gods; Wolffia, Elmariuz and Scarmartyr. There are guardians across the countries that act in their council and ensure that environments are in accordance.

World History

Past

Majority of Unina's earliest history has been lost to time and war. The origin of the world is packed full of turmoil caused by the fights between Wolffia and Scarmartyr. which has formed a lot of the planet's mountains and gorges. The most notable war was 400 years ago, referred to as the 'Silver War'. This war was so intense, most inhabitants participated in the bloodshed, marking their allegiances to their god. Wolffia and Scarmartyr exerted so much energy during this war, that they fell into a comtaose like state in their castles, and never reappeared until the past few years.

The gods used to show their faces more often in the public space before their fights began escalating. Even on some occasions, Elmairuz, their sole brother, would appear. Durinng these days, they more openly created new creatures and lifeforms to exist within Unina.

A few decades before the Silver War, when the threat of danger was looming, humans and mostly humanoid inhabitants of Eispaxea began to feel threatened by the population of shifters and less humanoid looking individuals, and set to culling their numbers and forcing them into a lesser position, even to the point of legal disadvantage and loss of many rights. Eispaxea focused on the divide between rich and poor, and has turned their country into a dystopian, military run nightmare for most.

Rinalia felt the worst of the wars between the Gods, which lead their mystical creatures and shape shifters to feel as though they were above the humans and elves of the country and they were forced into a tyrannical kingdom split between seven rulers. For many years, the humans slaved in silence under these beasts, and secretly prepared for their final war, rising up against the beasts and successfully vanquishing them. Since then, they've killed the populations of all mythical beasts and made them extinct. At least to their knowledge.

Present

In the present day, the countries in Unina are mostly peaceful. Rinalia has cut off all relations to the other countries and resides in isolation, nowadays unaware of the other countries existing. Due to this isolation, they have not progressed as far as the other countries and utilise in more primative tools. They now have a council of eight rulers. Most Unina species have evolved to blend in more humanly than in other countries.

Eispaxea has become a festering pool of crime and monsters. A notorious group of assassins for hire have arose and are causing endless grief for the government. Many secrets are hidden by the military and the civilians live in the dark about most happenings. They have limited relations wit Kairon and Metraania, even limiting who canenter the country on business, be it importation or more corporate business. Many inhabitants face discrimination from looking less human and whilst it's not illegal, magic is highly discouraged.

Kairon and Metraania have maintained a close bond, spreading their religions and holidays into each other's countries. The Castella family and the Sorei family have created a joyful bond, that leads to many inhabitants to feel relaxed and safe, despite the monsters that plague the wilderness.

Future

The future of Unina has yet to be determined, perhaps the story is left up to a ragtag team of individuals, come together to change the fate of the world.

Culture

Languages

All of Unina speak a universal language bringing them all together, similar to our English language. Eispaxea and Rinalia have all but lost their own languages, whereas Kairon and Metraania still nurture their own languages. The Kairobi native language is called Kunkiari, and Metraania's is called Munkis. Some species have also been reported to have tehir own languages, including Daemoni and Eispxaean Unicorns. These languages are rarely taught to individuals found outside of the species, although some people have been known to learn on their own.

Clothing

While typical clothing styles vary from country to country, all countries in Unina have been found to wear the same styles of clothing that's found in the real world. Most commonly, Eipaxeans will be found wearing clothes that fit into the 'cyperpunk' or 'streetwear' genres. Kairon is found to wear more traditional fantasy clothing, often fancy with many layers or accessories.

Traditions

Despite its modern clothing and development, Kairon is a very traditional country. Many homes display small alters to the gods and honour them as a part of their daily routines. Metraania follows similar practices, but are not so devoted to it. Eispaxea and Rinalia have all but shrugged off their religious tradtions and have more skeptical traditions, often related to casting out evil or magic from their homes.

How it Works

Source

The real source of magic is unknown to most inhabitants. Most individuals believe all magic is innate. The real source of magic comes from a crystal spire hidden somewhere in the world. It is radiated with so mch magic it spreads into the air, allowing almost anyone to feel it.

Abundance

Magic is overly abundant in Unina. Not as freeform and wild as in Tmaizerin but not far behind. Magic can be felt in the air, almost as a low static. The magic is so abundant even some plants carry magical properties or defences.

Acquisition

Magic is easy to obtain in Unina. Even individuals who aren't naturally able to harness magic are able to pick it up. In most cases inhabitants learn to harness it through traditional training methods. Some individuals are naturally born with magic, and some others are gifted magic by the gods or guardians of Unina.

Types

Fire

Fire magic comes in many forms. Individuals are able to control the temperature and strength of natural fires and magically created flames. Fire can be manipulated and created by the individual, appearing in a range of different forms. Some individuals may be able to morph the element into weapons or other shapes. The colour/s of the magic flames can vary between individuals, not just your typical red flames. It can be blended with other types of magic to create to create something unique.

Water

Water magic is a popular element that is learnt, especially by performers for its beautiful display when manipulated.. Being able to manipulate bodies of water or the moisture in the air, inividuals are able to create wepons and shields from water. The water element colour ways are more restricted, but can be found in blues, pinks or reds. Fresh water manipulation and conjuration is most common, however individuals can also control salt water. It can be used in partnership with other tpyes of magic to create something unique.

Earth

Earth magic allows an individual to manipulate all earthen materials like dirt, rocks and crystals. THe only materials that can't be manipulated with this magic type are Diamonds and Black Star Diopside. This magic type is most often used by crafters or protectors due to its strength and endurance. Many construction workers use it to help morph the materials into their desired outcome.

Nature

Nature magic allows for the manipulation and creation of all flora lifeforms. This magi can be used to heal an ill plant and help it grow, or shape it a certain way. Some individuals who have trained for years can turn entire plains into flower gardens.

Air

Air or wind magic allows the manipulations of air currents. Individuals can make the wind blow stronger or ease it, others may be able to create devastating cyclones or tornadoes. When used in conjunction with other elements they can create quite dangerous winds.

Storm/Lightning

Storm or lightning magic is a more uncommon element due to its danger levels. It is an element that it easy to lose control of and have it run wild, forming catastrophic storms and nightmare weather. Some individuals can separate each part of storms separately and use thunder as a way to disorient their enemies or use the lighting to blind others. Most people will not try to teach this element. It's known to be incredibly emotion-focused.

Ice

Ice magic allows individuals to manipulate and create ice. They can feze bodies of water or moisture in the air to create snow. They're able to freeze just about any liquid. They can manipulate frozen objects in any manner. When used in conjuction with other magic types, this can create very unique displays and spells.

Sound

Sound manipulation is a very rare ability in Unina. To manipulate or alter one's individual and surrounding sounds takes a lot of practice and it can lead to noise sensitivites. Individuals can alter their voice or throw sounds, making them sound as if they came from somewhere else. With enough trainig, they can make these sounds echo anyway and throw their voice or conjured sounds quite far.

Light

Light magic is one that is overlooked often, but incredibly useful. Many light wielders use their magic to create light and atmosphere in their spaces rather than use electrical lights. Across Unina, some revere light magic wielders as blessed by Wolffia. Some light wielders are known to have additional healing magic.

Dark

Darkness magic is amore uncommon element, often being associated with beings borne of evil, created or 'blessed' by Scarmartyr. Individuals can use this ability to travel through shadows, darken rooms and remove the light, or create semi-corporeal weapons.

Life

Life magic is almost as rare as Diamond and Black Star Diopside magic. Most commonly this element is gifted to individuals by the Triplets directly, allowing one to vive individuals from near death and heal their injuries with minor repurcussions. This element is most commonly observe in Valkyrie Phoenixes and the few Angels that remain in the world.

Death/Necromancy

Description of type of magic and how beings use it (speaking, gestures, spellbooks, etc.). Praesent egestas sollicitudin dui, in feugiat lacus maximus ac. Aliquam ac tellus tortor. Vivamus mi dolor, dictum vitae massa id, tristique commodo lacus. Donec eget libero vel nibh accumsan luctus nec non nibh. Donec tincidunt varius libero.
