Anima: Festival of the End

This will be a reboot of sorts of my failed attempt at FEF, Knights of the Empire. Same world, slightly different story.

Spoiler: History of the World (click to show/hide)

Thirty years ago, the world of Gaia changed. For almost seven hundred years the Giovanni dinasty, descendants of Apostle Pietro Giovanni, ruled the Holy Empire of Abel. Wise rulers, the Giovanni ruled the world after the disastrous War of God, in which Rah Sith, grandson of the Traitor Apostle Iscariote Sith, tried to conquer the world. When Zhorne Giovanni, grandson of Pietro, finally defeated his armies and prepared the navy of the combined Allied Armies to go towards the Kingdom of Judas, Rah's dominion within the island of Tol Rauko, Rah activated a mystical artifact that caused a cataclysm of apocalyptic proportions.

Two whole continents sank into the seas, magic energies became scarce and most supernatural beings died. The Holy Church of Abel, which considered the supernatural to be the Devil's doing, saw this as God acting to punish Rah for his grandfather's wrong-doings and for his own alliance with supernatural beings and use of magic and other supernatural powers.

Zhorne, leading the devastated remains of the Allied Armies, created the Holy Empire of Abel, which under the rule of his son Lazaro expanded to the whole known world. As the head of both the Church and the Empire, Zhorne made sure peace would be kept by creating several organizations that would protect humanity in many different ways. From the Inquisition to the Templars of Tol Rauko, all of them had the same goal, but very different ways of achieving it. Many thought that the Giovanni lineage would keep the Empire together forever. Gifted with a long lifespan and incredible abilities, in both combat and politics, they made excellent Emperors. Until Lascar Giovanni, the last Giovanni Emperor.

Lascar was a wicked man, with very strange goals. When his son Lucanor was born, he hid him within an extensive labyrinth he had created under the Imperial Palace. Later, he took one of the two twin sons of the Prince of Manterra and raised him as his son, with an strict code of honor that was completely opposed to everything Lascar did. He forced the Lord of War Elias Barbados, the greatest of his generals, to attack the lands of those Princes that would not stand his corrupt government. In the end, Elias and many other generals organized a coup, and marched towards the Imperial Palace with the intention of taking Lascar prisoner and crowning Lucanor (who had managed to escape the labyrinth whe he was 10). In response, Lascar forced Lucanor to kill him using Seoman Keophas, the Imperial Sword, symbol of the Emperor.

Even with Lascar dead, Lucanor could not become the Emperor. He had killed the Emperor, the greatest crime of the Empire. Some proposed Mijhail Mashen'ka, the kid that Lascar had raised as his son, which would fulfill Lascar's last wish. Elias, fearing that Lascar might have corrupted the young in ways he could not see, didn't want Mijhail to become the Emperor. In the end it was Lucanor who provided the answer to this problem. Following Imperial Law, if it was possible, it would be the closest male relative to the Emperor that didn't already hold a nobility title. It took everyone days to see who this person was, and some say that Lucanor already knew. It was Elias Barbados, as his wife was sister to Lascar's deceased wife. Lucanor, thanks to his mother lineage, was given the title of Prince in the Principalty of Lucrecio, and Elias became the first non Giovanni to become the Emperor.

Elias was a good Emperor, but when the Supreme Archbishop of the Church of Abel died, he was forced to make a decision that would change the world. Instead of choosing one of the Cardinals as the new Archbishop, he chose a young woman named Eljared. Eljared had, at only 28 years of age, reached the highest standing a woman could hold in the Church of Abel, the rank of Abbess, being the head of the Sanctuary of the Lost Hope. Elias had met her only a few weeks after his wife died giving birth to their only daughter Elisabetta. Shocked, but forced to obey the Emperor, the Cardinals were reluctant to accept Eljared as the Supreme Archbishop. For over ten years, Eljared created a network of contacts and influences, and six months ago, she caused the greatest change in the world since the War of God.

Prince Maximilian Hess of Remo discovered that there was no "Abbess Eljared" in the Church, and that the Sanctuary of the Lost Hope never existed. It was all a lie. Maximilian Hess accused Eljared of being a witch that had used dark magic to confuse and seduce the Emperor. Having being a good friend of the Emperor when he was the Lord of War, and having contacts with the current Lord of War Tadeus van Horsman, the Emperor's most trusted friend, Maximilian thought he could knock some sense into the Emperor. He was wrong.

Elias took Maximilian's claims to be an insult towards him and Eljared. When Tadeus refused to follow his order to attack Remo, Elias imprisioned him and put his son Exodo van Horsman in charge of his armies as the new Lord of War. The armies of the Empire attacked Remo. But during that day, which would be known as the Breach of Heavens as the sky turned red, many more things happened. Tadeus' right hand, a young general called Yuri Olson that had just arrived from the eastern lands of Lannet, led a group of Knights of the Order of Heaven to rescue Tadeus van Horsman, take the Imperial Palace and take Elias to justice. During the attack, Elias tried to kill his own daughter, but Elisabetta's bodyguard, a man known as Kisidan, killed him and protected her. When the rebel army finally took the castle, knowing that the Empire was about to completely fracture without a head, Tadeus took Elisabetta to the Imperial Senate so that the Senators that were still in the city could be present when he proclaimed Elisabetta the Empress of the Holy Empire of Abel.

Most Principalties separated from the Empire, but Elisabetta managed to hold together the core of the Empire's lands. Even so, her position is fragile at best. South of the new border of the Empire stands the Azure Alliance. Created by former Lord of War of the Empire Matthew Gaul when he usurped the throne of the Principality of Togarini, proclaiming himself Supreme Archon and inviting the Principalities of Remo and Bellafonte to join him in his crusade against the Child Empress, while the Church starts to enjoy political independence and their allies of Argos prepare for their own crusade against the infidels of Kushistan and Stygia. To the North, the barbarian tribes of Goldar fight for supremacy, while in the Principalities of Haufman, Hendell, Moth and Dwanhölf the fall of the Empire goes unnoticed. To the East, the lands of Gabriel and Phaion compete for dominance of the Coast of Commerce and in the ancient island of Varja the twin empires of Shivat and Lannet resume their rivalry. Finally, to the West, in the continent of Eurakia, Mijhail Mashen'ka, the Lord of War of these lands, finds himself in a position where he can't keep his oath to the Empire and keep Eurakia in peace at the same time, as all Principalities declare independence. The flames of war are about to ignite...

In the midst of this chaos, ancient powers thought lost during the War of God awake, and supernatural forces start to come back to the world... Those who walked amongst humanity will rise. And the world shall never be the same...

Details about the exact starting point of the game in the next post. This is a game of FEF 1.3, with players starting at level 5 First Class (Weird, I know). Rolls for trainee levels will be made. Please wait, as there will be important details about the setting and the game in the next 2-3 posts. I will be accepting 6 players at the start.

We'll be using swordstar's house rules for 1.3. However if at some point I believe something has to be changed, I'll do it. White Lightning is effective vs non Monsters, Creiddylad is effective vs Monsters.

[Khaiel]

In the city of Americh, one of the infamous Cities of Free Trade, which are not under the control of any nation and were money and power are the only law, between the Principalities of Kanon, Bellafonte and Lucrecio, a young woman going by the name of Anna Never has gathered the strangest of groups, coming from many varied backgrounds (Some say former Inquisitors and Knights of the Order of Heavens, practicioners of wizardry and even non humans are amongst her group). They have all been contacted by important people, all of them seemingly owing Anna a favor of some kind.

Why the young lady requires such a varied group of experts is unknown, but some say she is looking for someone... And she will do anything to find that someone.

The players are all people who have come to Americh to work under Anna Never's orders. Whether they are mercenaries hired by the young girl or someone has called a favor on them, they'll diverse backgrounds may very well clash...

Spoiler: Magic, Religion and the Supernatural (click to show/hide)

Almost a thousand years ago (990 if the Church is right) Abel, the Son of God, died betrayed by his Apostle Iscariote. His other eleven Apostles avenged him and created the Eleven Holy Kingdoms, which would later become the Holy Empire of Abel after the War of God. The religion that Abel created is known as Christianity, and follows many of the same precepts and dogmas as its RL counterpart. With the exception that the Emperor is (or was, as there a schism now between the Empress Elisabetta and the Supreme Archbishop Magnus) the head of the Church.

Christianity sees everything supernatural as an abomination, and the only displays of supernatural power allowed are those of "Saints" people gifted special powers by God. This is the reason used to explain why some Inquisitors, agents of the Church, soldiers of the Empire or even the Giovannis themselves showed unnatural and supernatural powers. The truth is that there is no difference between the "righteous flame" an Inquisitor using Fire Magic casts and the "flames of hell" wizards and other heretics are said to use.

Despite the hunts of the Inquisition, at least two secret organizations of sorcerers and wizards exist. The Order of Yehudah wishes to create a world with a society similar to that of the ancient Empire of Yehudah, where wizards were the elite and those without magical powers were slaves. The Order of Magus, founded two centuries ago by former member of the Inner circle of Yehudah Ambrose Magus, want to create a world where people will accept the supernatural, seeing the good it can do for them.

Although they are not recognized as such officially, most members of the Order of Heaven, Templars of Tol Rauko, Inquisitors and special agents of any other organization with a good relationship with the Church are considered Saints. Although most commoners would run towards the nearest Inquisition keep to report the sight of a wizard or witch, showing them a mark that recognizes one as a Saint (usually an amulet) is enough to calm them.

The Church keeps an armed force, the Inquisition, whose members are trained since they are children to hunt the supernatural.

Although the Empire and the Church's current relationship is quite tense, the Inquisition and other Church-related organization are allowed to operate within the Empire's borders.

Spoiler: The Templars of Tol Rauko (click to show/hide)

After the War of God, Zhorne Giovanni created the Templars of Tol Rauko for some unknown purpose. It seems they are interested in relics from the supernatural races that died after the War of God. They are quite powerful, and it is said that they hold the same military power as a Lord of War. Whether this is true, it remains to be seen.

Its current leader, Marshal Malakias Graft, has sworn loyalty to Empress Elisabetta Barbados, but it is unlikely he will be able to provide much support if a there is a war between the Azur Alliance and the Empire, as the Templar's forces are scattered around the world guarding ancient temples and forgotten sites.

Spoiler: Organization of the Empire (click to show/hide)

The Holy Empire of Abel was divided in Principalties, each one of them ruled by a Prince that reported to the Emperor. The Emperor himself is the Prince of the Principalty of Abel, and he (or she right now) rules from the Imperial Palace in the Holy City of Arkangel, where the Messiah Abel died.

The armies of the Empire were under the command of four lords, known as Lords of War. The first among them was the one that commanded the armies in the lands nearest to the Principalty of Abel (this the position that Elias held and that now holds Tadeus van Horsman). The armies of the North were ruled by the mysterious Shadow of the Emperor, whose identity was only known to the Emperor. The Lord of the South ruled everything southern from Abel, completing the Three Lords of the Old Continent. Eurakia's armies (also known as the New Continent) were ruled by a Fourth Lord of War.

While Tadeus van Horsman openly supports Elisabetta, and the Shadow of the Emperor has not yet expressed his own intentions, the Lord of the South Matthew Gaul has openly separated from the Empire, making the Principalty of Togarini his own land and allying itself with the neighbor Principalties of Remo and Bellafonte. These three Principalties openly oppose the Empire and are known as the Azur Alliance.

Meanwhile the Lord of Eurakia, who is no other than Mijhail Mashen'ka, stays neutral, as he already has plenty of problems within his own borders.

Spoiler: The Order of Heaven (click to show/hide)

The Order of Heaven was created by Zhorne Giovanni to serve as the Emperor's private army. It is divided into seven minor Orders or "Heavens", and they only answer to the Empress and the Lord of War Tadeus van Horsman. In order to enter one has to pass a series of trials or be invited by the Empress or the Lord of War.

The Order of the First Heaven is composed of the new recruits that have passed the trials to enter the Order that are held every year at Arkangel. Their duty is to patrol the city of Arkangel and the lands around it.
The Order of the Second Heaven composes most of the Order, and they are the ones that serve as elite army of the Empress.
The Order of the Third Heaven is composed of those with tactical and leadership skills that serve as officers for the First and Second Heaven soldiers.
The Orders of the Fourth and Fith Heaven serve as secret agents for the Empress, and they usually take missions on far away lands to carry on the will of the Empress. The most dangerous missions are usually given to those in the Fifth Heaven. Some people enter the Fourth and Fifth Heaven directly, due to their skills impressing the Empress.
The Order of the Sixth Heaven guards the Imperial Palace and serves as an escort force for the Empress.
The Order of the Seventh Heaven is composed of the Empress' Praetorians. Each one of them takes the name of a mythical creature to show their power and skill. Currently there are four Knights of the Seventh Heaven, which go by the names of Griever, Tiamat, Lilith and Kisidan, with Kisidan being their leader and the High Praetorian of the Order of Heavens.

Spoiler: Society and Technology (click to show/hide)

For the most part, Gaia's technological level and social organization resemble those of European countires during the Renaissance. There are exceptions, however, and the further a Principalty is from Abel, the most likely it is to be different (examples are the principalty of Espheria in the New Continent, which ressembles the early USA, and the Principalty of Goldar, just north of Dalaborn and Helenia, which ressembles Germany during the Roman Empire). In most lands, men and women share similar roles, although there are slight privileges to men, usually manifested in succession laws (which is why a lot of Principalties have separated from the Empire after Elisabetta became the Empress).

Firearms are uncommon, although not unknown, but for the last few decades the only ones with license to manufacture and sell them were Providence Enterprise, the first multinational business of Gaia. Now that Imperial Law is no longer in use in many Principalties, Black Sun, a guild whose members are some of the richest independent merchants in Gaia, has started to also sell firearms (although most armies don't have more than a thousand men equipped with them).

One thing of note are the "Technological marvels of Lucrecio". Since Lucanor Giovanni Frey became Prince of Lucrecio he has transformed what once was the dominion of criminal organizations and corrupt nobles into a prosperous land, partly thanks to the technology that comes out of the recently created Great University of Lucrecio. A few months ago he showed the world his greatest creation to date, the zeppelin. It seems he wants to create a number of zeppelins that make regular flights transporting passengers and cargo between some of the most important Principalties.

Spoiler: Arbiters (click to show/hide)

For seven hundred years, the world has not known real war. Tension between Principalties was solved through diplomacy or the small scale conflicts known as Arbitrated Wars, during which armies fought under a set of rules to set the winner of an argument, always under the supervision of the armies of the Lords of War, to ensure no rules were broken and no damage to civilians was done.

Only the best generals of the Lords of War were given the task of supervising Arbitrated Wars, each of them a master strategist that could see any knid of trick the armies were trying to pull off just by looking at the battlefield (both to prevent armies from subtlely breaking the rules and to stop potential organised rebellions disguised as Arbitrated Wars.)

Lord Renard Osborn, fourth Lord of War of the South, gave these generals the title of Arbiters and gave them special supernatural armors known as "Commanding Armors". These armors hid the identity of their bearers, changing their voice and making any supernatural attempt to discern their identity futile. The Arbiters were given new names, and they were to hide their true identities. Their armors also gave them special powers, different from Arbiter to Arbiter, that allowed them to change the battlefield by subtlely manipulating time and space.

After a few years, all Lords of War started to use this Arbiter system, protecting the identity of their generals. Soon, Arbiters became the most respected figures in the Empire's military. Lords of War started to be chosen only among Arbiters, and Arbiter Armors and names were inherited, with small adjustments done to the armors to suit their new bearers.

Due to recent events (including Gaul's intensive recruiting during his years as a Lord of War the resign of some Arbiters after Elias' ascense to the Imperial throne) the Arbiter distribution in Gaia is quite unequal:

The Empire has no Arbiters, although some people pointed out that both of Tadeus' sons and the young general Yuri Olson would make excellent Arbiters, but the three of them are on unknown locations at the moment.

Mijhail Mashen'ka has only one Arbiter at his service, Arbiter Karthas, also known as The Sword.

The number of Arbiters under the orders of the Shadow of the Emperor is unknown, but it is known that they are at least three.

Finally, Matthew Gaul has 10 Arbiters under his orders, who now act as the generals of the Azur Alliance, and it is rumoured that he is considering adding 3 more Arbiters.

Spoiler: Those Who Walked Amongst Us (click to show/hide)

Before the War of God, several other races and supernatural beings shared the world with humanity. While most of humanity thinks they are no more than myths and fairy tales, and those historians who know about them believe they went extinct after the war, the true is quite different. Some survived in secluded villages, but most joined Samael, an organization created after Zhorne Giovanni declared war against the supernatural, pressed by the fear of humanity.

Samael's members, led by a council of thirteen of the most notable and powerful members of the non human races and supernatural creatures known as the Fallen Angel, hid amongst humanity, and have spent the last seven hundred years waiting. Either humanity will accept them or it will finally destroy itself. One way or the other, they shall walk Gaia again. While the existance of Samael is a secret unknown to the general population, members of other secret organizations and the highest echelons of the Empire and the Church know of its existance, but they have never been able to eliminate them, despite the Inquisition trying time and time again.

Spoiler: Nations of the World (click to show/hide)

Holy Empire of Abel:
Named after the Messiah, Abel, the Empire ruled the whole world until recently. Right now only a handful of Principalities send their senators to the High Senate of the Empire, acknowledgin Elisabetta Barbados as the Empress.

• Abel: The seat of power of the Empire is Abel. A rainy but prosperous land, people from all over the world live here. Towns and cities have paved streets, and all main roads are also paved. Elemetary School is paid by the state for all citizens, and while there are different tribunals for the common people and the nobles, laws are fair and punishments are moderate.
• Ilmora: Ruled by a council of sages, Ilmora is the land of knowledge. The three greatest universities in the world are all in Ilmora, and their main exports are books and experts in all fields of knowledge.
• Helenia: A peaceful land named after Saint Helena, the first Saint recognized as such by the Church, Helenia is home to the Ilona, a breed of horse that choose their own riders. The prices of these horses are enormous, and only the rich and wealthy can ever hope to pay for them. Aside from the Imperial Armies, the only defenders of these lands are the Knights of Saint Helena, the most famous of Imperial Knightly Orders.
• Dalaborn: From Dalaborn the Lord of War Tadeus van Horsman directs the armies of the Empire. Known as the Sword of the Empire, the Principality's main export are troops for the Imperial Armies, and thy survive thanks to donations from the Empire. While there are not many cities in Dalaborn, all of their towns are also impressive fortresses.
• Alberia: Covered by a forest, Alberia covers much of the lands that the anciet race of the Sylvains used to cover in the Old Continent. A land of rain and forests, with hundreds of isolated villages, Alberia doesn't interact much with the Empire, and ancient customs are still in use there, but their citizens consider themselves in debt with the Throne of Abel since the War of God, and act as such.
• Galgados: Surrounded by mountains and cliffs, Galgados' fertile valleys are home to many farmers, and the treasures of ancient civilizations buried below its ground make it of great interest to the Empire. The people of Galgados are usually very independent and resourceful, but their knowledge of the rest of the Empire is sometimes sketchy at best.
• Arlan: If Dalaborn is the Sword, then Arlan is Coffers of the Empire. Ruled by a council of merchants, Arlan is the main port for goods coming from the New Continent. Its people are very cosmopolitan, and due to the nature of business, they value peace over everything else. Arlan is also one of the Principalities that first declared their loyalty to the Empress, and their belief is that Elisabetta will make a very good ruler, if only she is given enough time.
• Kanon: Their coasts facing the Inner Sea, Kanon is the home of the Imperial Navy, and their ships are the best one could ever see. It is Kanon's ships that protect the coasts of Abel and Helenia, and it is their firepower that prevent the pirates of the Inner Sea from attacking imperial ports.

Azur Alliance:
When Emperor Elias Barbados ordered the former Lord of War of the South, Matthew Gaul, to support the attack on Remo, he decided to secede from the Empire. Conquering the Principality of Togarini for himself and claiming the title of Supreme Archon, he swiftly made an Alliance with the Principalities of Bellafonte and Remo, and together they have formed the Azur Alliance. Directly south of the Empire, they oppose it and claim that Elisabetta should not be the Empress. While they are clearly inferior in number, the expertise of Gaul and his High Arbiters threatens to turn the balance in a possible war.

• Togarini: Almost as advanced as Abel, Togarini is home to the Daevar, a human ethnicity now almost only encountered here, distinguished by their basalt black skin and their white hair. The society of Togarini is very rigid, and marriage between people of different social classes is prohibited by law. Togarini is also home to Les Jaeger, the new secret police of the Azur Alliance.
• Remo: Almost destroyed by the armies of Emperor Elias, Remo has suffered a lot of damage and it's only starting to recover thanks to the economic aid of Togarini. Their military might, however, is almost second to none. The Principality still maintains its six Legions, that once were one of the greatest armies in the world. The Empire is absolutely hated in these lands, and there are many who live only on the promise of someday getting their revenge against the Empire and the Barbados family.
• Bellafonte: Home to many knightly orders, Bellafonte is a land of devout people that had many ties with Remo. After what Elias did, they had no choice but to join Remo due to their sense of honour. They are, however, the most moderate within the Alliance, as their ruler, Archduke Sttratos, is married to the daughter of the Prince of Helenia. The Principality's many ties with Argos and the Dominion are the Azur Alliance an edge in most negotiations, and some believe that with Bellafonte's influence, is only a matter of time before these two Principalities join the Alliance.
