The world of Felas is the focus of the project, with the plotlines a kind of starting point for what lore I want to develop. Characters are from X location, let's make sure I have that fleshed out to further define who that character is, etc.

None of them have actual titles, I've never been good at naming things. The "titles" currently are more just descriptions. It's not a priority, as long as it helps you keep track of them.

There are two layers of lore I'll be sharing here. "IL", "In Lore", is public knowledge, what would be written in the world. "OOL", "Out of Lore", is lore that I as the creator and you as the audience may know for the full picture of Felas, but are unknown to the people; Meta Lore, if you will. The timeline of plots uses OOL dating, my scale that I use for consistency's sake, but within the plots themselves there's a local calendar and different ways to count years.

0 G marks the year the Winter Genocide began. Powerful states of Namrok violently colonized Ussiar and after decades of propaganda, they convinced the nami populations to "drive out" the local erylai.

In the Atrian Empire, the calendar is based off its creation: 0 G is Year 109 IE.

Antis is the prince of Vallakovas, an Underground City in Ussiar built from the ruins of ancient tunnels under the mountains. He has two older sisters, twins who've fought for the crown their entire lives. Upon the elder Hansa's coronation, the younger Arinya makes one final stand. When it fails, she flees into the wilderness. Hansa goes mad with paranoia, and Antis acts as a shadow-king for her.

But there's a secret he never shared with anyone: as a child, before all the political collapse, he liked to explore the Underground Tunnels that stretched further than the city limits. During one of his deeper expeditions, he discovered a magic portal that transported him to a different world. This world was like Felas, but Antis was unable to use any of his magic.

He mets a girl in this world, and despite time moving differently between planets the two teenagers become close friends. But then his father dies, his sisters fight and he has to start ruling the city in his sister's stead. He forgot about it entirely, but years later he was reminded of its existence. When he was able to get the time, he returns to the portal.

In the Silver Peaks of Ussiar, there are plenty of stories about magicborne diseases. One of them is Therianthropy, werebeast transformations. Jiyu and their partner Sumin know the legends, but are confronted with it when Jiyu's attacked by a rabid animal in the woods and contracts the disease. Thus begins an adventure to the sea to find a medic who could cure Jiyu.

This plotline is my "walking simulator loredump" excuse, a relatively simply plot. They travel down the mountains, experiencing wild shit the Peaks have in store for them. The mountains have OOL lore about its magic, which will be detailed on its encyclopedia page.

Escaping the suffocating confines of her life, Kerra flees from the Namrok kingdom of Siero. During this time, it's allied with the Empire and joined a Sponsorship Program. It allowed her to travel to Ussiar and disappear. She could be anyone she wanted across the sea, given a 3-year period to establish herself before being completely on her own. Her sponsor is Kijan, an eryla struggling to keep their people's culture alive. Kerra is open-minded enough, and over the course of her first year in Ussiar they become friends. Despite some close calls with bounty hunters, she really was making a life for herself here.

Kerra ends up in the middle of a generations-old fued between nami and erylai. The nami wanted to colonize the land, a rich paradise compared to Namrok. States funded propaganda labeling erylai as lazy parasites, and violent parties began to grow until that winter of 0 G, when powerful Nami states including Siero began issuing rewards for driving out native erylai populations. She was seen as a "traitor" by the nami, and were hunted down all the same. She and Kijan attempt to lead the village people to the coast, where they could escape on ships.

Tashka grew up in Olprugo, the capitol of Imperial Danarsi. She had to live on streets as a child, after her father was killed and her mother went mad. She met the Master of The Voiceless, a secret guild of political assassins. She was raised to kill without remorse, follow the Emperor's orders without question. Her only light in the guild is Kadin, a khokl who was paying of a family debt by training in The Voiceless. Kadin gets killed during a mission gone wrong, but when Tashka tries to retire from the guild to grieve the Master drops her into poverty until she agrees to return and kill for him.

Khetri lived with her mother in a remote village deep within the forests of southern Ussiar. She was told stories about how they arrived suddenly one day when she was still young, but she didn't know anything about where they originally came from. Her mother promised to tell her when she was older but tragically she dies during a hunt, leaving Khetri with useless trinkets and unanswerable questions.

Modok was a nami-controlled state in Ussiar during the time of the Winter Attacks. Erylai that managed to escape the attacks were forced to leave the state, the king saying it would "make the kingdom a safer place". Magic was also forbidden, being seen as an eryla practice. Forty years later, the effects of the Winter Attacks made Modok a tyrannical state, its citizens heavily scrutinized and punished for the most minor of offences in the name of "preserving the peace".

Sen is a khokl living in the lumber village of Gleni, and lately rumors of witches living within the surrounding forests made security even heavier. Malen, his childhood friend and village outcast, reveals her ability with magic and starts talking about overthrowing Modok's entire government. Sen tries to talk reason with her, but before he can stop her she disappears into the forest to find the rumored witches. Due to his association with her, Sen also becomes wanted by the guards and is forced to flee his home after her.

Vika is a nami from a family of farmers, people who kept their heads down during the Winter Attacks and faithfully served the king despite his increasingly harsh demands. After her father is accused of being a witch and is sentenced to death, Vika tries to clear his name by traveling to the city herself. Along the way she meets Sen, and together they meet the witch who caused this entire panic: Ashel. Ashel claims to be able to help them save her father, and so they join forces with her despite both of them feeling suspicious.

Miika is a nami from a noble family of Modok, his father a well-respected figure within the city of Knosme. However, their family had the secret of practicing magic even after it was outlawed. Miika was the heir to his father's knowledge, but while trying to prove himself a worthy magician Miika let his guard down and eventually got his family found out. He barely managed to escape capture, but the rest of his family was not so lucky. Fleeing Knosme, he eventually ran into Vika and Sen and joins their attempt to save their fathers from execution.

Lua is an Awaki nomad from the western mountains of Namrok, growing up with tales of the Settled Folk in the lowlands. Typically, the Awaki did not leave the mountains, but as time passed the tradition of venturing down to see Settled life became more common among families. Lua's own great-aunt had traveled to the Settled Lands herself, and Lua was raised with these stories of adventure. When she grew into a woman herself, it was her dream to see what life was like for those outside the mountains.

Once in Katenca, the captiol of Taypacho, Lua realizes just how complicated and stressful Settled life is. She's taken in my a kind innkeeper, but after getting comfortable into the routine Lua learns she isn't as kind as she appeared. She was beaten, scolded and made fun of for her differences as an awak. When she starts to consider returning to the mountains, her dreams shattered and heart broken, she meets an unusual group of vagabonds who treat her kinder than anyone had in the Settled Lands. They teach her about the Atrian Empire and their mission of fighting against it, traveling the seas to thwart their trade whenever possible. The adventure called to Lua, and when the crew was planned to leave Taypacho she decides to join them.

Lua did not realize what a pirate's life would entail, and while the crew treated her as family her morals would be constantly questioned against their actions. But it was too late to go back now, and as time passed she instead began to see the way the crew did. Knowing all she did now, learning the skills and seeing the sights she had seen, could she even go back to her simple life herding camels in the mountains?

Madu was always a strange child growing up. He found it difficult to connect with children his age, and always put himself in dangerous situations just for the thrill. He didn't know his mother Arwa was not actually his mother, but his aunt. He didn't know his mother had come to her sister heavily pregnany, warning her about the Empire and its human experiments. He didn't know why his "mother" was so protective of him, why he was never allowed to leave their small village in the swamps of Kvolsum. He didn't know why, at a certain age, he began experiencing bursts of magic corresponding with his emotions - humans weren't supposed to be born capable of magic power.
