While essentially all knowledge of how magic works and how to wield it is gone from the world of Azukhar, it is not all gone from the world. There is one key part of magic that can still be found throughout the world. These objects of magic are known as Relics. Every relic still in existence dates back more than a thousand and three years, to the days of the Old Kingdom, a continent-spanning nation that fell a thousand and three years ago.
Since then, while Kingdoms thrive such as that of Othea and Kalnach only one has lasted since the dawn of the New Age. The Dynasty of Kheris. In the deserts to the North, Kheris is said to have reshaped the land to his preference. A God of untold power, since then he has lived for a thousand years. Joined by four other gods in his court, and minor gods and goddesses.
As other Kingdoms grew in strength, Kheris constructed a wall bordering his lands to keep his people safe. Lies and blasphemy spread, that Kheris and his court weren’t Gods but what other Kingdoms called ‘Evokers’. Beings who wielded Relics of the old Kingdom…
This is all true. Kheris is no God, but a Tyrant. The people worship him, or they die. His court is designed to ensure that he can maintain control over his people. There is word of revolution, however only those who possess relics themselves may be strong enough to fight them.
The idea of this Roleplay is that you will be players who have either snuck into the Dynasty of Kheris from a neighbouring Kingdom, or were born and raised within the deserts. You are all Evokers, individuals who possess a relic of the Old Kingdom. The power it grants can vary greatly, but it is always the same for each unique relic, and it is tailored to their personality and the abilities the relic senses the person has potential for. As such, a relic might enhance an already existing attribute or skill, or it could grant one the person doesn’t yet have. As relics have wandered the land for over a thousand years, they can be found virtually anywhere. A ruin or a marketplace, a family heirloom or a gift. Anywhere. With only a select few seemingly able to activate them.
There is big news, Kheris has commissioned a tournament. Bening curiosity, or just wishing to see Kheris in person… you have all found yourself to the capital of Kehntri, and one things for sure. The world is about to change.
