2014 Magic of Gaya

TLDR
TLDR version will update the wiki later just putting an early version out so you guys can plan your chars

Will be a fictional land based on a mix of western and Korean mythology/history mostly focusing on an alternative Korea.

You will be member of the Gaya Kingdom. The Gaya Kingdom is the most powerful kingdom due several factors

1. Taming the gods

2. Gaining the power to manipulate the weave

3. Multicultural due to the Magi Immigration Act (MIA)

The Gaya Kingdom is a multicultural kingdom. Anyone who can show their use of arcane arts are welcomed in

The Gaya Kingdom is a magocracy/Monarchy. The rank of King (currently held by King Kamehameha) is passed from father to most accomplished son.

All people outside of the ruling ranks are divided and given jobs based on their results on the Weave Manipulation Test.

The lowest ranked people are made Butchers. Anyone who kills a living creature is stripped of their ability to use magic. Mages will mame and torture victims but never kill. They always leave that to butchers or man butchers (executioners).

They have conquered 3 of the 4 Neighboring countries (Sipjae, Gyerim, Tamra) But are still at war with a larger state Jolbon (졸본).

To the west is the White Lotus which is Jobon is a tributary state..

To the south is the 8 islands of many gods

Magic is controlled and licensed by the government based on the Weave Manipulation Test.

Geography
Map

Creation
Many years after the creation of the world the gods decided to create man. The gods of the Asadal peninsula decided that the men of the world needed leaders. The people of Gaya trace their leaders back to six eggs that descended from heaven with a message that they would be kings. Six boys were born, and within 12 days they grew mature. 5 of the eggs became the kings of Asadal. One egg was lost forever and is said to be the birth of all monsters that plague the land. Gaya’s egg hatched into King Ganute. He settled the Southern lands of the Asadal peninsula as his own.

End of Peace
There was peace for 2000 years, and peace was on the mind of every person in the country of Gaya until King Yu of Sipjae visited his brother Ganute and murdered him. He also lead his army of soldiers into Gaya carrying something new to the peninsula, metal swords. They used their new weapons to kill as many people as they could. At this time the god Mokrang the god of nature sent an army of tigers to fight back the army. The tigers ruined the army but the god’s were angered. They created men to tame the lands and protect them and instead they destroy trees and murder each other so the gods decided to punish men. Habaek the god of water demanded that they sacrifice the most beautiful women of their kingdoms or they would face drought every year. Yuhwa the god of earth demanded that men erect statues of him every year or their villages would be destroyed in earthquakes. Judong the god of fire cut people's life spans to 100 years as punishment for the war and burned the house of any who missed prayer. Mokrang demanded that men build tiger statues in ever village to remind their children of her love for people.

Gildong and Magic
Men suffered for thousands of years, sacrificing their daughters, toiling away building statues, sacrificing their mothers and praying every day until their knees blistered. That was until Gildong the brave tricked the god Habaek into giving the secret of the gods immortality. He soon captures Habaek and traded the god to the dragon Yangwang for Divination magic. He taught all people in the Kingdom the magic] he learned and set off and captured the rest of the gods, each one leading to a new form of the [[weave being manipulated via magic. Wanting revenge they marched into Shipjae and conquered them using magic. Next they did the same to Gyerim. Soon they sailed onto the island of Tamra. Tamra was protected by their own god Koenegitto the god of metal.Koengegitto created magic weapons and gave them to the people of Tamra. But the King of Gaya made an alliance with the pirates of the 8 islands to make a pincer attack on Tamra was successful and they captured the god and the island. Now Gaya turns is eyes north to Jolbon. During the war with Jolbon the White Lotus empire joined them and provided them with the magic. A system outside the weave working on Qi. The civil war has had an armstice for the last 60 years. The people have always been on the threat of war but a recently plagues and and locust have starved both countries bloodlust for war. People are fearing the end of times.
