In the island‑spanning world of Tur, a rare 1‑in‑100 chance of wielding the Tide’s elemental power—fire, water, air, or earth—drives kingdoms of divergent cultures to vie for mastery, from Thun’s steampunk pioneers to Halla’s wind‑borne warriors, Sauria’s dragon‑breathing firelords, and Kansho’s water‑weaving healers. Amid a power vacuum in Halla, whispers of conspiracies, and a newly‑discovered vault that promises untold secrets, adventurers and scholars alike are drawn into a tide of intrigue, danger, and the quest to harness the world’s most potent magic before it reshapes the very fabric of their medieval realm.

World Overview

This is a world where magic is uncommon but it is extremely powerful. If someone is born with the ability to use magic, their magic is limited to one of the elements: fire/lightning, air/wind, earth/metal, and water/blood (inspired by Avatar The Last Airbender) but what they can do within their element depends on their level of study and unique cultures around the acceptance/fostering of magic in the communities these people come from. Technology level is medieval fantasy. 1 in every 100 people is born with magic.

Geography & Nations

There are several major kingdoms. All of them are separated by oceans. Kingdom of Thun is a forest country with European influences known for its love of advancing technology and pushing the limits of discovery, currently beginning to unlock the first studies of steampunk energy. Most magic users born in Thun tend to lean towards getting earth magic. Kingdom of Halla has Viking aesthetics and influences, a northern kingdom in a colder climate that includes taiga forests, coastal cities, stone monasteries, and tundra fortresses. Most magic users born in Halla have access to wind magic. Halla is known for their military prowess, hardy people, and unparalleled seafaring power and prowess. Kingdom of Sauria is to the south and has middle eastern influences, very Aladdin, desert kingdom vibes. They are known for their great access to wealth, spices, and is the oldest kingdom. Magic users born in Sauria tend to unlock fire magic. Sauria is known most for their ancient art of taming flightless, wingless, fire-breathing dragons as mounts. Kingdom of Kansho is temperate and has influences from Korea and Japan. They are known for their art of stealth, subterfuge, honor, and most magic users born there have water magic. The kingdom is especially verdant with flowers, fauna, and is superstitious as they tend to have many curses/spiritual problems with ghosts and otherworldly creatures. Kansho is known for their superior knowledge of healing through magic and natural medicine, their assassins, their art, and their ability to deal with curses.

Races & Cultures

Most people in this world are humans but there are occasionally demons and spirits that live among them in secret. Cultures vary by kingdom and there are smaller communities in each that also vary, so the world is very diverse in beliefs and practices. There are many monsters and beasts in this world, including undead, typical fantasy monsters, and curses/spirits (people who are stuck in this world and cannot move on) are considered monsters. There are no other fantasy races such as elves, dwarves, orcs, etc. that could be considered people, humans are the only people in this world. Demons are the closest to "people" in this world other than humans but they come from the underworld and are fiendish, typically evil, and are outcasts from most societies because of their dangerous magical abilities.

Current Conflicts

The late ruler jarl-king of Halla was killed in suspicious circumstances so there is a power vacuum as the jarls of Halla are convening a moot to try to elect a new jarl-king. There are suspicions that it might have been a conspiracy by Kansho but there is no proof, only rumor, so potential war is on the winds depending on how that diplomatically plays out. An ancient vault-dungeon was found in Sauria that exceeds understanding of any of their greatest scholars so a global call for minds and heroes has begun circulating the world, inviting people to try to navigate its depths and mysteries, especially bright minds from Thun. Adventuring guilds and mercenary bands have become insanely popular in the last 5 years.

Magic & Religion

The source of all magic is called The Tide. 1 in 100 people are born with the ability to use magic. Of those people born with magic, known as Tide-touched, they only have access to 1 of 4 elements when using their magic: fire/lightning, water/blood, air/wind, or earth/metal. Though they have a higher chance to have specific types of magic depending on where they are born, it occasionally happens that a fire-user is born in Thun or a water-user is born in Sauria, though it will be difficult for them to find access to teachers and education in countries that do not have communities to support them this way. There are gods but they are detached and it's uncertain if they actually play a role in our world: Taneth (life), Roth (death), Ziatonuth (chaos), Bamot (order), Goroth (war).
