[h2]Chapter 1: Raelin[/h2]
[h3]The Sword a man's Tempered Will[/h3][/center]
[hr]
Raelin, the illustrious former Empire, now a Republic. With lush sweeping valleys and a tasteful spot of forestry and mountains, the sights of Raelin are ones of grandeur over spectacle, though they have no shortage of that either. The sight of what from afar appear to be many birds, are actually wyverns circling the mountain in the south west, for that is their home, Drake Mountain, and the sacred place where Dragoons make their pilgrimage to find their eternal partners.

The military of Raelin is ever-vigilant, even in peaceful times, for to them, the ways of the warrior are both a lifestyle and art, and the study of the scholar is considered one of prestige. For Raelin, the Scholar and the Warrior are the pillars of their society. The warrior fights to preserve the nation, while the scholar runs the nation.

Uneasy winds and whispers sweep the streets of Valennia as the word "rebellion" has become a more common occurrence as the Swords of Valor begin to become more active, compounded with the unease as no one seems to be safe these days. A serial killer has also come into the picture or so they say. They call him the Bleeder for the messy bloody sights of his crimes.

Although nothing is ever as simple as it seems.

[hr]

Valennia, the crown jewel of Raelin. It's well-cleaned and flattened cobblestone pathways and charming wood and stone construction gives it a rustic atmosphere amidst a calm yet lively street vibe. The people wear clean clothes, the workers wear worn yet well-kept uniforms, and the children run in the street. One would be forgiven to think this was a time of true relaxation, but the reality was that the underlying problems are gossiped constantly, disconnected from their own city's problems they speak of dangerous things such as bandits, criminals, and as of late, rebels and serial killers, as if it were a day to day occurrence, but one must thing. For such little unease they have, perhaps the government is competent, and for the most part one can say that is true. Raelin's martial might has never blunted thanks to their culture.

However for the young man in a brown cape trudging down the street, hungry out of his mind, none of this mattered at all. Just one loaf of bread, mold or none, was what he wanted. He used the last of his coin to help pay for an old woman's medicine in the port town and walked the whole way. He was given food as thanks, but that did not last long.

He felt almost ready to collapse, but... Perhaps, he can find a small job or some food on offer at the Adventurer's Guild here... Or perhaps he may get lucky and simply be given one...? No, it's never really that simple.

[color=brown]"Aaauuuugh... Food... Or even some water..."[/color], he mutters, the street noise nothing but background noise. Why does he do this to himself he asks himself as he continues to hobble down the street. Why indeed others may ask, for him, helping others, he cannot help but do... But perhaps he should learn some restraint...

[hider=Locations]
[b]Library[/b]
 The Library of Valennia is filled to the brim with knowledge on anything related to magic. Located in the Eastern Wings district, the Library of Arius, named after the strategist who advocated the scholarly arts, as well as establishing this library. Over the years it had actually been rebuilt and renovated several times. The Library is said to have a forbidden section too, but such a thing would be difficult to obtain.
[b]Topics Available[/b]
[list][*]History, and Myths of the Raelinian Empire
[*]The Multi-Realm Theory
[*]The Boundless Mana Theory
[*]True Sorcery Theory[/list]

[b]Adventurer's Guild[/b]
 The Valennian Adventurer's Guild is the most well-known branch, and the biggest. A huge thriving community of it's own, their aim is largely to be a network that people can submit to in order to have some odd jobs and monster slaying quests done. They also have a special Monster Hunters License which is given to people who wish to and qualify for hunting large marks.

[b]Guardstations[/b]
 There are various guard stations around Valennia that have small little things posted, such as missing pets, people, or bounties. If you need directions, they can also help you out.

[b]The Royal Garnet[/b]
 This dazzlingly high class inn is filled with influential individuals from many nations, located in the Fang District near the Royal Palace. Many are going to be heading home soon following a half-yearly meeting that takes place in different countries. One can learn a lot about the various country's affairs just by talking with some of the people here... That is if you look the part. This prestigious Inn is fairly strict on who it lets in.


[b]Gargling Drake Inn[/b]
 In the Hinds District of of Valennia is this small dingy Inn, almost constantly filled with questionable individuals. There are many other inns around the city, but this is the one you want to go to if you want information on marks or bandits, or connections to do unsavory deeds. Or maybe someone has the odd job that needs to be done.
