In this world, everything begins small.
A village is the simplest landmark — tight-knit, self-sufficient, and humble.
When a village grows wealthy or crowded, it becomes a town.
Several towns joining together form a kingdom.
And when enough kingdoms unite — by alliance or conquest — they create an empire.
In short:
Village → Town → Kingdom → Empire.
Think of it like the real world:
An empire is like a country.
A kingdom is like a state.
A town is a city.
And a village is just... a village.
Society and Class
Society is divided by blood, tradition, and profession:
Nobles → Warriors / Artisans / Mages → Traders → Peasants
Nobles are born into privilege.
Warriors, craftsmen, and mages form the middle.
Traders bridge the classes.
Peasants are the backbone — but with the least voice.
Power Hierarchy
Separate from class is the true measure of a person — power.
From weakest to strongest:
Normal Human → Skilled Fighter → Mage → Spellblade → Fatebreaker
Normal Humans are just that — ordinary.
Skilled Fighters combine brains, strength, and experience.
Mages manipulate the forces of magic.
Spellblades are rare — those who master both weapon and magic.
Fatebreakers are something else entirely — beings who can twist the very fabric of reality.
Across the whole world, only a handful exist.
Important:
Class and power are not the same.
A noble may be weak.
A peasant may wield terrifying magic.
Blood decides privilege — but fate decides strength.
A prince might be powerless and still outwit battle-hardened mages through strategy, politics, and pure will.
A peasant might have mountains of magic and still fall because they don't know how to fight smart.
Strength is always relative.
The strongest in a village might be nothing more than an insect to a true champion of an empire.
Limits and Drawbacks
Every power comes at a price:
Stamina — How long you can fight, how much magic you can burn.
Willpower — How deeply you can push past your limits when stamina runs dry.
But forcing yourself past your limits can destroy your body.
Even the greatest warriors and mages bleed if they gamble too hard against their own strength.
In this world, fate favors no one.
Only those daring enough to steal it survive.
