In modern Eromora, magic is strictly forbidden. Centuries of witch hunts, executions, and propaganda by the Primitus Church left a deep scar on society, and today open practice is considered both heresy and treason. Anyone caught casting faces execution or imprisonment, regardless of rank. For nobles, even rumors of dabbling in spells can ruin entire families. As a result, magic is rarely spoken of in polite society — it survives only in whispers, in secret Witchblood lineages, or in the hands of criminal networks like the Black
Rose.

To most, magic is a taboo subject: something feared, denied, and buried beneath layers of superstition.

Origins: Magic, often called magicae, is believed by some to have been gifted to humanity by the gods through the Original Witches, chosen for their purity and sense of justice. They taught magic as a tool for healing, harmony, and wisdom. Over time, others abused it for power, birthing the first Forsakers who delved into dark magic. Meanwhile, those religious or anti-magic believe it has a much more malevolent origin.

How It Functions:

• Ambition fuels magic — the stronger your desires, the stronger your magicae (magical energy aura).
• Spells require offerings and costs such as hair, blood, or emotional tolls. Misuse can sap life force, cause psychosis, or worse. Each spell has a significant price. Do not cast spells not within the written books without consulting a GM.
• Anyone can learn, but those without innate connection(witch ancestry) risk higher costs. Those with low ambition risk lower success.

Witchbloods: Descendants of the Original Witches, and often long lineages of magicae users. They wield magic with less consequence, guided by strict familial codes. Witchbloods often have unique abilities such as foresight or casting without words. Straying from their codes invites curses, ruin and/or severe consequences.

Dangers:

• Dark Magic: forbidden arts linked to malevolent spirits, corruption, and destruction.
• Magicae Meltdown: stacking spells or overuse can trigger paranoia, hallucinations, or permanent madness.
• Addiction: strong magicae (esp. red auras) can make magic impossible to stop once started.

Religion & Persecution: The Primitus Church and many rulers view magic as heresy. Massive witch hunts in Caesonia scarred history, and even today, practicing magic is punishable by death in all three kingdoms.

The Present Day: Magic is rare, secret, and dangerous. Witchblood families pass it down in secret. Criminal groups like the Black Rose exploit forbidden magic for power.

Sola 20: The Royal Ball
Hosted by King Edin, it welcomed the Alidasht and Varian delegations for the courting season. Then disaster struck! Duke Lorenzo Vikena stumbled late into the royal procession, allegedly causing Sultan Raif to tumble from his palanquin.

The Sultan recovered his dignity and later extended an invitation to dine.

Whispers spread that many nobles ended up at a mysterious afterparty that night of the ball, but curiously, none recall how they got there or what happened inside.

Post-Ball: The Violet Shift
Since the ball, Lady Violet Damien appears altered with a large scar across her face. Some whisper she is “not the same” as before.

Sola 21 (Afternoon): Attack on House Damien
Count Calbert Damien’s estate was brazenly attacked by a fugitive blonde woman whose face soon appeared in the Sorian papers.

Sola 21 (Evening): The Dinner Duel
At the Sultan’s dinner, one of his daughters hurled a knife at Duke Lorenzo.
She was swiftly sent back to the Alidasht.

Sola 23: The Forest Ritual & Arrest of Lord Roman Ravenwood
Lord Roman hosted a Varian-style ceremonial gathering in Sorian Park. Attendees drank strange tonics said to open the mind.

When guards arrived seeking Lady Violet Damien, Roman allegedly flew into a frenzy, attacking them.

He was overpowered and now awaits trial, many calling him “possessed” or “feral.”

Sola 25: Lord Drake Edwards’ Birthday Debacle
What began as a cheerful party ended in chaos when the drinks were apparently spiked. Nobles and royals alike stumbled into drunkenness. Many whisper it was a calculated move to humiliate the Edwards family.

Sola 28:The Arrival of Kilian of the Vanguard
A silver-haired witch hunter strode in to King Edin Danrose's Grand Banquet, dragging a chained woman said to have enchanted the Edwards’ drinks. He declared Sorian corrupted by magic and vowed to “cleanse” the kingdom, leaving his prisoner standing before the court like a warning. Another witch hunter, named Torvi, was also present and had been called in previously by Queen Alibeth Danrose to assist.

Sola 28:Prince Wulfric Exposes Queen Alibeth
Crown Prince Wulfric stunned the hall by declaring that his own mother, Queen Alibeth, had shown him magic. He described her conjuring a tablecloth’s color — minor, yet enough to brand her a witch before the court and get her arrested.

King Edin denounced Alibeth as a traitor to the gods and the Danrose bloodline. He ordered her arrest and promised trial by the Church. He then praised the witch hunters, aligning Caesonia with Varian’s hardline stance against magic.

With the Queen in chains and the capital crawling with witch hunters, the banquet ended in shock — and the fate of Caesonia’s monarchy feels uncertain.

⚔️ 1. NO POWERPLAYING
Powerplaying is controlling or forcing another character’s actions, thoughts, or physical reactions without consent. All effects on another character’s body, mind, or choices must be discussed OOC and agreed upon.

🧠 2. NO METAGAMING
Metagaming is using OOC knowledge IC without a justified narrative bridge.
If your character hasn’t seen, heard, or been told something IC, they do not know it.

🛡 3. NO GODMODDING
Godmodding includes creating overpowered, vague, or untouchable characters without running ideas through GM approval.

✨ 4. Magic Use Guidelines
A. Spell Use
✦ If using a spell from an official book or source, it must be clear what it is and how it works in your post.
✦ If you wish to keep the spell’s effects secret from the audience, you must DM the GMs.
✦ Any supernatural mechanic not from an official book must be approved by GMs.

DM the GMs with the following:
— What it does
— How it works
— Its limitations
— Who it affects

If you do not have approval, the ability cannot be used in posts that affect others.


✦ All narrative impact on other characters requires OOC consent.
✦ GM approval is required for magical mechanics that influence others or the world.
✦ GMs may review collabs or scenes if requested by another player.
✦ If you see powerplaying, metagaming, godmodding, unapproved mechanics, or any rulebreaking: Bring it to a GM. You won’t be punished for being honest.


Any significant actions taken by castle guards — including arrests, interference, law enforcement, or acting on behalf of nobility — must be cleared with a GM.

Guards are part of the world’s official power structure and must act in accordance with kingdom laws and narrative logic. Minor flavor use is fine (e.g., "the guards opened the door"), but anything beyond basic background interaction requires GM approval to ensure consistency and fairness.

This goes for world NPCs making major moves as well.
