Prusiu is a world full of small continents and islands. Most of the world is in poverty because of constant wars and conflicts caused by empires and kingdoms. Greed and corruption possesses the rulers of the lands. They are already wealthy but want more. They want to be richer and rule everything. Their tired soldiers invade other countries and plunder villages. Life is hell in Prusiu. Only a few lands still have the delight of peace. The workers dont have the power to plan and execute a coup against their rulers and are very poor. But the workers have a good life compared to mages and other magic users. The elders tell about how magic users are bad:

"Magic was once a strong power,
it gave strength to devour,
devour the good and kind of this land,
it seem to be high and grand,
the sorcerers turned the fields to ash
and the cause more pain than a lash,
after the world became hell,
the rulers banned magic very well."

Though not all magic users are bad. The rulers and clerics didnt like magic since they couldnt control it. So the rulers banned magic and ordered to capture and execute every magic user they could find. But many magic users resisted. Some mages were too powerful to be defeated and mostly were poisoned or killed in their sleep. Now the magic users search for a place where they belong and where they are not judged by their talents. They called this unknown place paradise and many seek to find it.

Lands:

Andru: Andru is a forest land on a continent with the same name. Even though their king owns half of the lands money, they live better than worker class people in other countries due to their rich soil and resources. Use of magic results in death here. The capital is Meira. Other towns are Sana, Irota and Bulon.

Koleigh: Koleigh is a land of different climates but mostly consists of praries and tundra. Koleigh is the only land which rebelled against their ruler. But even though Koleigh is free from a tyrant king, the people are very poor but life is gradually getting better. Magic use is limited by law. Only healing magic and alchemy are allowed in Koleigh. The capital is Mulach. Other towns are Io, Sandona and Keian.

Wa'ilil: Wa'ilil is a desert country with a sparse population. It isnt wanted by anyone because of the lack of resources. They people though have all what they need: Oases with plenty of water, agricultural land and some wood to build huts. The land is ruled by the council of elders. Magic is legal here because it hasnt caused harm here and because controlling the people is hard. The capital is the oasis Kolo. Villages are Sini'i, Auwa, Ta'al and Ishana.

Manas: Manas is a land on a large island far to the north. It has 9 months of winter and is mostly mountainous and filled with nordic forests. The people live in large houses and are ruled by an ill emperor. The people are poor and often sick. The emperor doesnt have the wealth himself to help his people because it is all used to fund the military in a war against Andru. Magic is illegal here but the law isnt enforced well. The capital is Ondvir. Other towns are Kasanik, Landholm and Shurrik.

Bluerock: Blue rock is a country on a small island. The area is lush and green and seems to be the only place where people are doing well. Bluerock has a democracy and well built army for defense. The people arent poor and magic is legal. Bluerock gladly takes magic using refugees. But Bluerock is weeks away from every other country. The capital is Highrock. Other towns are Greyport, Lindalia and Hurres.

The Barrens: The Barrens is the name of a large continent that separates Bluerock and Andru from the other countries. The Barrens used to be the home of many countries but the continent was devastated by the war between Manas and Andru. The people of the barrens live in constant fear and the land is torn by war and anarchy. There are only a few safe havens in the barrens. Mostly the safe havens are ports and fortresses owned by Andru or Manas. Known safe havens are Kunas (Andru) in the east and Broda (Manas) in the west.

People:

Workers: Workers normally are smiths, farmers, factory employees etc. They are the poorest of all people and usually die early due to starvation or sickness. Workers make up most of the population. They live in large families in small houses. They dont try to rebel against their rulers because they fear the punishment. Workers are friendly to most people (except magic users) but cant afford to give visitors food since they dont have much themselves.

Soldiers: Soldiers are better paid than workers and live a better life. They enforce the law and fight in wars with their sabers, rifles and cannons. They are feared by workers.

Magic users: Magic users are known as mages, witches, warlocks, magisters, sorcerers, etc. They are persecuted by most countries and often dont have a home. In some countries the common folk believe that even healing magic could cause harm as a curse. Magic users often face prejudice and kill against their will. They seek paradise. Some think paradise could be Bluerock or even someplace beyond.

Immortals: Immortals are simply magic users who are immortal. Some might think that it is good to be immortal but for immortals it is a curse. They are often apathetic and bear constant pain. Their life is torture. They see the death of others but cannot die themselves. They are tortured souls searching for happiness and peace.

Traders: Traders wander the lands to earn money and profit. Their wealth is better than that of a worker but worse than that of a soldier. They are a common sight and often offer good wares for an amount of copper and silver coins.


Time:

The time is similar to the era of the industrial revolution. The clothing is similar to the clothing in the mid and late 1800s. Transportation is often wandering, riding horses or taking a horse or ox driven cart. Buildings vary. Magic users can also wear robes and cloaks. Use of steam engines is uncommon but possible.
