Balhera

A traditional, high fantasy world filled with wonder and excitement. Vast and grand in size, the different environments and kingdoms known on this continent create an infinite amount of possibilities for even the everyday man to find excitement.

One of the most famous and well-known features of Balhera is known as The Cazzezza Nofeni, or known in Common as "Castle of Nothing". The Cazzezza Nofeni is the tallest mountain in Balhera. Brave souls who have made attempts to climb to its peak are often believed to be dead since they are never seen again. Never seen in person, a strange and obscure set of castle ruins sits atop of the mountain at the very peak.

While the world is mostly peaceful, there are slight tensions between individuals and groups alike. Racial Conflicts, Religious persecutions and many other conflicts rage forth in the world and are handled by a lowly guard or high justiciars depending on the severity. Recently, random individuals have started breaking out in madness and rage attacking and harming those around them for no reason. After a short span of minutes, the individual often falls unconscious into a coma-like state leaving many to have questions that often go unanswered.

Magic is highly accepted and welcome. Most individuals born with a prevalence for magic such as Sorcerers are more respected while Wizards, Warlocks, Clerics and other magic casters that learn to wield magic are seen as more "unfavorable" in the eyes of the public. Both those born with magic and those that learn are all accepted in The Crystal Azure, a prominent mage's college built around allowing magic wielders to study, learn and create.

Long ago, 200 years to be exact, Balhera was once one giant kingdom of its own. Ruled by a Tyrant Queen, Queen Alabasta Johera, this era came to an end after 6 brave souls banded together to storm her castle and end her rule with her beheading. The nation, while it separated, all came to an agreement to never tolerate for a tyrannical rule again and created a council of 6 individuals, descendants of the original 6 heroes, that help push Balhera to be better and grow.

The world uses Gold Pieces as currency often referred to as Crowns.

Each individual kingdom, city, town, or village has its own system of law enforcement, however, High Justiciars known as The Hand often handle the harder and more difficult conflicts and criminals all across Balhera.

While not confirmed, there are talks of an ancient society and cult that worships an ancient god of evil and corruption. It is believed that these individuals might be the source of a growing epidemic of madness and rage throughout Balhera, but it isn't proven.
