There is no magic in this world that humans can use yet. Technology is very limited Victorian levels with candles for light, but there is a draininage system. Alchemy is commonly used but not in the magic sense. more like healing potions, potion of speed, etc.

there are four Kingdoms: At the top north sits Evenlion. It only has one Major city and tiny villages the Major city cits like a cathedral named Saint's Paradise it is also landlocked with mountains locking it in place at the very north end of it. East of Evenlion is Rown. Rown is known as a manufacturing kingdom with it having multiple major cities each having its own with a coast to the most eastern of the kingdom. West of Evenlion is Darskeven. it is surrounded by mountains on the borders with a huge lake in the middle. and south of all three the largest kingdom and region, Orin's Step. Orin step is peaceful mostly fields and grasslands and no major cities besides the border town named Braveheart. villages are far apart.

Majority humans, early on in the story. later there will be beastfolk who were transformed after a mysterious gas engulfs a village and eventually a major city. When that happens humans reject the beastfolk and those higher up go after those who done it possibly creating a war

Political tensions between Darskeven and Evenlion over trade and trade routes with Evenlion being unfair causing Darskeven to create a gas that will change the appearance of the people of Evenlion for disrespecting them. they dont tell Rown about it but ask for supplies from them with Rown unaware of what is happening. Darskeven uses the gas they made on remote villages in Orin Step treating them like test subjects.

there's no magic in the world until the group makes it to the Darskeven research facility deep in the Darskeven western mountains and destroy it. in doing so it will have opened up the heavens and hell. When that happens magic will be very simple and elemental with Fire, Earth, Electricity, and poison. mana will seep from the gates engulfing the continent and only those with aptitude to use it can. the closer to the gates when it was opened the more aptitude you have for magic. When that happens gods will come in to intervine, choosing saints from Evenlion to destroy those who have gained those abilities and the source if possible. The gods name will be Wrath. On the other hand demons will be released and trick beastfolk into contracts, giving them access to poweful magic in turn they populate more and create an army to take over the continent

A plane of Order doesn’t send angels; it makes systems crave symmetry. Laws become rigid. Bureaucracies grow teeth. Even people begin thinking in absolutes, favoring predictability over compassion. Economies under its influence become hyper-efficient and emotionally sterile. Civilization becomes stable—and brittle. This interacts with Evenlion, making them more rigid

there are history books all over the continent, but there's a dark history for Evenlion where they used to use sacrifices to keep their kingdom from destruction 1000 years ago

gold, silver, and copper are the currencies. This system is usually called Continuance Economics, though the name came later, after historians realized it didn’t behave like anything before it. At its core is a simple idea: the economy is judged by how long it can keep a civilization stable without forcing growth. Expansion is optional. Collapse is unacceptable. Every citizen is guaranteed access to what they call the Civil Floor: food, shelter, healthcare, education, energy, and connectivity. None of these are free in the moral sense, but they are non-negotiable. They are funded collectively and treated like infrastructure, the way older societies treated roads or water. Falling below the floor is considered a systems failure, not a personal one. Above that floor, the economy becomes almost playful. Instead of money being the only signal of value, the system tracks three parallel currencies, each measuring a different kind of usefulness. Exchange Currency handles ordinary trade and scarcity. Contribution Credit measures how much a person’s work improves long-term resilience: teaching, engineering, caregiving, research, maintenance. Legacy Weight tracks things that don’t pay off now but keep a culture alive later: art, philosophy, risky science, exploration, even dissent that turns out to be right. You can be rich in one and poor in the others, and that imbalance shapes your social gravity. A brilliant poet might live modestly but have enormous Legacy Weight, giving them influence over cultural direction. An industrial optimizer might have massive Contribution Credit and be quietly powerful without being famous. Hoarding one currency while starving the others is seen as a warning sign, like an ecosystem losing biodiversity. Production is capped in a strange way: not by quotas, but by maintenance debt. Every factory, algorithm, or institution accumulates an invisible bill for the future strain it causes. If you build too fast, that debt comes due as mandatory upkeep, retraining, environmental repair, or social recalibration. This makes reckless growth deeply unattractive. The fastest way to lose prestige is to leave messes for the future. Failure is not punished the way older economies punished it. Failed ventures convert into shared learning assets. The society treats mistakes as data, provided they were made in good faith. Malice, however, is expensive. Systems that exploit, deceive, or destabilize rack up entropy penalties that strip all three currencies at once. What makes the system actually sustain a civilization is its strangest rule: nothing is allowed to be essential forever. Any role, resource, or institution that becomes too central is deliberately made redundant, diversified, or slowly phased out. The goal is antifragility: stress should make the system smarter, not brittle. From the outside, Continuance Economics looks slow, even boring. No meteoric booms. No heroic billionaires. But centuries pass. Cities don’t hollow out. Knowledge doesn’t vanish between generations. People argue fiercely about art and ethics instead of food and shelter. Empires fall when they confuse growth with life. This system survives by remembering that survival itself is an achievement—and that meaning, unlike profit, compounds without limit.

Adventures are seen as reliable workers. Gathers, messengers. until a real threat comes in, then they are treated as heroes or saviors. In Rown, they jail those who commit crimes then ask questions. same for all other kingdoms but in Evenlion, they see Beastfolk as the ultimate evil and kill them on the spot with some capturing them as slaves.

Demononic gods threaten the world using influence on others. Influencing the people of Darskeven to create a gas that turns people into beastfolk then giving beastfolk power to take revenge and take over the continent
