A Story of Passion, Politics, and Betrayal
Brief background:
A'lea - Once a peaceful world, on which existed two dominant kingdoms: that of Yuol'ina and that of Errachim. The inhabitants of these two kingdoms coexisted in harmony amongst each other, with the common goal of continuing tradition and peace throughout the ages. And so this lasted for thousands of years...
Until recently, with the former Emperor of Errachim assassinated and the Royal Family exiled to a remote region, the new Empire of Traachou has arisen in its place, aiming to conquer the neighboring lands and create a single, global Kingdom under the rule of the new, sadistic Empress of Traachou, Maiyaa Kyeon'an - the daughter of a former member of the Errachen Royal Court.
However, in response to the recent invasion of the kingdom, the Empress of Yuol'ina, Queen Quonya Kuolenya, has announce a full-scale war on the new, offensive Empire. Yet, as years passed, the resources of the Yuol'inan nation have become increasingly scarce, seeming as if the country may collapse as a whole - and yet, the public is ignorant of this fact, constantly being urged by the Royal Court to continue living as they have been before the war.
In the meantime, the exiled Royal Family of the Former Empire of Errachim have established a resistance to the rule of the Empress Maiyaa - creating, in essence, the New Empire of Errachim which stands in the previously uninhabited lands to which the Royal Family and its followers have been sent. Yet, with the limited number of resources and citizens of the land, the new "Empire" is struggling to reclaim the lands which are rightfully theirs.
Seemingly, the victory of the War is increasingly leaning toward the "Dark Empire," and it is only a matter of time before both competitors collapse completely. It is during this time of constant turmoil and chaos that a number of heroes have emerged in order to even the balance of "Good and Evil," but how exactly will the end of this Wartime Era be? Will the ambitious self-acclaimed Empress of Traachou prevail in conquering the world, or will the forces of "Good" triumph and return the world to its previous state of peacefulness? It is up to you to decide...
The World of A'lea:
Individual cities will be described later on.
The Three Empires:
- Yuol'ina - official name: "The Holy Empire of the Fallen Star (Yuol'ina)," aka "The Holy Empire".
The Yuol'inan Empire is divided into several individual Provinces, each named by the major city located within them.
Capital: Yuoja.
The second largest kingdom of them all, and also the oldest. The Empress is reaching the end of her long, eventful life and will soon pass her title and all of the lands to her young granddaughter who is not yet deemed "suitable for rule" by public opinion for her lack of political knowledge, experience, and overall ignorance of the events outside of her immediate surroundings. The Holy Empire citizens are now in a period of long, peaceful bliss and a time of economic flourish in which there is little to worry about, despite the fact that there are currently at war with the other kingdoms of the land - the Empress herself says that the war is proceeding finely, and why would the Empress ever lie to the people? - Traachou - formerly Errachim (Major) - official name: "United Empire of the Tracchean States," aka "The Dark Empire" - formerly "The United Empire of the Errachen States."
The Traachean Empire is divided into several individual States, each named by the major city located within them.
Capital: Paalich (formerly known as Jukkatem).
The largest and strongest (military-wise) kingdom, it is ruled by an ambitious and sinister leader who has recently assassinated the former Emperor and exiled his family to the remote lands which are now known as the Empire of Errachim. The leader (whether or not he should be considered an Emperor is up to you guys) aims to conquer the surrounding lands and assimilate them so as to create a single, global Empire under his own rule. Characterized by overwhelming fear, oppression and overall anxiety, the public opinion is under careful scrutiny by the government - free speech is literally nonexistant in this militant nation and any negative criticism made toward the nation is dealt with accordingly. Despite these circumstances, the citizens exhibit a vast amount of pride and honor for their country, and would almost do anything to defend it, even die in battle. - Errachim Minor - official name: "The New Kingdom of Errachim."
This region is occupied by several dispersed villages of citizens. The only major city of this kingdom is the capital, New Jukkatem, named after the old capital of Errachim.
Capital: New Jukkatem.
The smallest and newest kingdom, although technically not a kingdom at all, rather a region to which exiles are sent from Traachou. After being expelled by the new leader of Traachou to a remote, uninhabited region, the former Emperor of Errachim's heir, a young, seven-year-old boy, has established, with the help of his faithful followers, a new kingdom with the sole intention of regaining the lost empire of their forefathers. The virtues of truth, loyalty, and hard-work are what the citizens (in other words, the group of 300-odd people that inhabit those lands) live by. The people live in extreme harmony with one another and it is unlikely to find any disputes amongst themselves due to the hard, almost unbearable, circumstances under which they live. Their pride to their former, and newly established kingdom is what keeps them going on, in hopes of one day returning to their homeland.
Traachou is invading Yuol'ina to which Yuol'ina responds with full warfare. Errachim Minor is attempting to establish a resistence/revolution to overthrow the "evil dictator" of Traachou and take back the lands which are rightfully theirs. Although Errachim Minor has asked Yuol'ina on many occasions for both financial and materialistic aid, the Empress has declined due to the fact that they are indeed failing in both of those areas; despite public opinion that Yuol'ina is winning the war, Yuo'lina is in fact struggling to defend itself from the massive invasion from its neighboring empire.
