The World and its Factions

Welcome to the Netherworld, a place where demons are as plentiful as humans are on the Surface World. It is a surprisingly vegetative world, as opposed to the tales of fire and brimstone that most humans have heard of. If it weren't for the red sun in the sky and the obvious presence of non-human beings, one could easily mistake it for another place on the Surface World. In the center of this world, there lies a black castle in the middle of a barren wasteland. To the north is mountainous tundra with sparse scatterings of coniferous forests. To the east lie temperate woodlands that give way to tropical woodlands that cover the whole of the south until the ocean meets the land. And to the west lies a sun-drenched savanna, much like the ones in Africa. But the question remains: Why are you here? Are you a true-and-tried demon? An angel sent from Celestia? Or just a normal old mortal that unfortunately blundered into the realm? One thing is certain: You must find a new place to call home, a place to return to after your adventures.

The Allegiance of the Overlord
Perhaps the most noticeable place in this realm is the black castle in the center of the land. It is here that the Overlord resides, a high-ranking demon would rather send a messenger to tend to outside concerns rather then get his own hands dirty. He is always accepting of newcomers seeking to praise their loyalty to him. The work is often dirty, dark, and fraught with danger, but he is a generous employer to those that can handle the job.

The Church of Absolution
In the western savanna lie the towns of Humilitas, Castitas, Temperantia and Caritas. These are towns founded by a just and fair man, a priest of the Church of Absolution. The members of the religion pray to an entity known as the Absolute God and believe in the old credo, "Live and Let Live." The cooperation of all sentient life is their goal, and the eradication of those who seek only the destruction of others and the salvation of those in peril is their duty. With the twin blessings of holy energy and intense technological advancement, they make their mark in the Netherworld in the field of human-demon relations. Allegiance here is allegiance to a just and righteous god, one who sees fit to reward her followers.

Resurrection of Gaia
In the tropics of the south lie the towns of Rosa, Irid, and Lily and the seaborne town of Bellis Perennis. Their leader is the son of the Overlord and a highly skilled druid. It was he who cultivated the land and made vegetation possible in the otherwise infertile wastelands that used to encompass the whole realm. But this was not the end of his work. He and his followers wish to further the spread of the lush green landscape wherever they go. Those that choose to make this their homeland will find themselves defending mother nature and eradicating its abominations, and will be given all the bounties nature has to offer. However, working here will restrict them to using methods that aren't hazardous to nature itself.

Xodiac
Travelling all across the Netherworld is a roaming band of bards. But unlike the bards of old, with their acoustic instruments and calming lyrics, these bards play hard-hitting, heart-pumping power metal. Their name: Xodiac. As a nomadic tribe, they typically hunt and forage for what they can, and trade and perform for what they can't. Anyone who joins Xodiac and/or their entourage of fans may find themselves performing some rather silly sounding missions, such as transporting the precious beverage from the beer tree, but they will have their part in the growth of the greatest band in the Netherworld and will learn the secrets of the long forgotten Age of Metal.

School of the Transcendent Fist
Deep in the mountains of the north lies a monastery of yakfolk. It is here, in the stinging cold, that the warriors of the north are able to learn the way of the Transcendent Fist, a legendary martial art stressing the power of ki as well as the power of the body. The quests undertaken here are typically made not only to serve the neighboring town as needed, but also to further the training of the adventurers who swear allegiance to the brotherhood.

The Eastern Kingdom
The Eastern kingdom is laid out in a vast temperate forest with two main rivers and many little ones. This kingdom has three castles each holding a leader of sorts, the main castle in the city of Veego holds the queen of the east, Demonlordess Ashley. This is the capitol of this vast kingdom and the main headquarters of many assassin guilds. The second castle sits in the middle of a very large meadow that is always in bloom. This castle is home to Lady Ashlynn, the twin sister of the queen, lady Ashlynn is the sole founder of the sisterhood of the blossom, or for males the brotherhood of the thorn. She believes in the beauty of the rose and will do anything to keep the lunar roses safe. Ashlynn is a supporter of The resurrection of gaia faction. The final castle is found in the middle of a huge lake where the two rivers meet, before continuing as one on to the ocean. This castle is the home to a little tyrannical demon named Lucy, she prefers the title Pirate Princess. Little Lucy is the sole founder and leader of the East Netherworld Trading Co.

The main goal of the east kingdom is to preserve its boundaries and expand east past the cliffs surrounding the forest. However under each leader there are other goals depending on the lordess.

Demonlordess Ashley
Under the queen you reside in any of her towns but at times depending on class be called to her presence to company tasks, for exaple eradication or retrieval. Where you'd then have to venture out and do what she asks. Due to her subtle involvement with the pirates and black market the reward will be great for completed tasks.


Lady Ashlynn
Under the lady, you would reside in her castle. Help her with everyday tasks and escort her to royal meetings if you were chosen. Often times she'll have you guard the scared lunar rose, a blue rose that only blooms every 100 blue moons. It's a very valuable flower and as a sign of royalty the queen and her family that is of age, each get one to keep safe. This precious flower and its survival are the main goals of this organization.


Pirate Princess Lucy
Under the princess you would reside in the many lake side villages and her castle if your lucky to please the little tyrant. Lucy main goal is to bring money to the kingdom anyway possible and to expand the kingdom to the south across the sea. This organization handles all trading to and from the eastern kingdom and is in charge of taxes, tariffs, and the like. What you would do for Lucy mainly would be trading to different places, pirating trades, and exploring the seas for new places for the eastern kingdom to take over.
