From the mountainous regions of Tol'rian to the storm-lashed cliffs of Pariah coast stretches a land of primal wilderness inhabited with small kingdoms, cities, villages and the like. Malgahress, the largest continent of the world Cyria, dominates the seas and is the crux upon which all else turns. Meddling in the affairs of Malgahress invites change in the world around it and of all the lands Malgahress shows the most evidence of divine influence. This inherent divine influence has caused most of the races to believe that gods exist, but although this is the case with mostly everyone, there are those who have not been touched by miracles or experienced a divine influence. Thus, these people have become predisposed to not believe that gods exist even though they are surrounded by such strange and mythical creatures which come in a variety of shapes, forms and appendages. The land is full of powerful magics, and prophecies of which have yet to fulfilled; some of these being so powerful that they can invoke significant change, making those from even the lowliest of races become something of a myth or legend.
Malgahress spans for more than thirty-five thousand leagues from east to west and more than twenty-five thousand leagues from north to south. Across the roads of Malgahress travel people from all walks of life including minstrels, peddlers and steely heart adventurers carrying tales of strange far away places that they have encountered in their journeys. From frozen wastelands to blistering deserts, Malgahress' dangers vary; some shrouded in obscurity others plain and open. From the giant insects known as kelraths that dwell in swamps and gorge on the flesh of those who stray into their territory, to dragons which rule the skies and incinerate all that stray into their path (although there are good dragons), to bandits who prowl the highways, satisfying their whims by taking from others; those that resist are met with steel and brutality. These are but a few of the dangers present in Malgahress...
The plain of tears is a frozen wasteland almost devoid of life. The plain stretches for 5 miles from north to south and measures more than 3 miles wide. Strewn with skeletons and frozen corpses (some of which are of imprisoned demons) are a reminder of the almost legendary battle fought here. The battle known as the Sheynar Avernum ("The Demonic Dominion" ), was the battle where the inhabitants of Malgahress fought against the demonic forces of the demon lord Abyss to prevent his insidious plans of ruling the world and shaping it in his image. In the end, the demon lord was banished and imprisoned and his demonic forces scattered. The demon lord lost that war, though the toll it took upon the victims of the war and their loved ones left a gaping wound, a misery which caused the wasteland of which the battle was fought upon to be named the "Plain of Tears". The battle's conclusion taught the Malgahress's inhabitants two things: that they had to protect their freedom from those who would take it and to be ever vigilant lest Abyss returned. Both of these lessons are commemorated and remembered as a festival that occurs every 7 years when the moon glows an eerie crimson red, a celestial event that was previously known as as the 'Night of the Devil’s Tear' yet this information has be forgotten.
Hessra village, the village nearest to the plain of tears. For most of the year snow falls down upon this village causing a certain curiosity as to why it the name of the village bears no relation to snow or the seemingly never-ending winter. Hessra village is home to one of the most renowned adventurers guild and to a modest population of humans, elves and dwarves. It is a focal point for many folk wishing to explore the continent as the adventurers guild teaches people the necessary skills to survive in the worst of conditions and scenarios. The Adventurer's guild lets these people join for a fee which can either be paid by either working for the guild or upfront, the guild in turn provides training. After their training is complete these novices have the option of traveling with veteran of the guild to train further and more gain practical skills in the world of Malgahress.

Sol_Maelstrom
Name:
Sol Maelstrom
Race:
Human
Gender:
Male
Age:
18 years old
Appearance:
Skills/Abilities:
Arcane Magic, Prophecy (makes it hard to see whether his memories are that of the past or of the future), other still to be specified at a later date.
Other Info:
A man of few words and of few memories. A man whose life has been defined much by what he has to regain and what he still has yet to learn. He calls himself Sol and much of his memories are flashbacks into the past into what he assumes is his childhood yet there are still things that he himself finds mysterious. A great store of knowledge of the world and a keen grasp of the history of Malgahress like that of scholars who have been studying it all their lives. All that's for sure is that someday his memories will return and he shall find out who he is, for it seems nobody else knows.

Puffi Urai-CannibalInABox
Name:
Puffi Urai
Race:
Human (Slight demonic ancestry; not enough to have a noticable effect.)
Gender:
Female
Age:
21
Appearance:
Puffi
Skills/Abilities:
Physical Magic, axe-weilder, other skills to be specified at a later point.
Other Info
Puffi talks a lot, but rarely does she say anything of importance. It's unknown if she really does love the sound of her voice that much or if she just doesn't know what else to do, but very rarely does she stop talking. Surprisingly strong thanks to her use of physical magic on herself, she isn't a bad ally, unless you need someone with brains. In which case, she isn't the best choice. At all. Probably isn't even on the list. Still, if you're looking for brute strength, annoyance factor, and a surprisingly chipper attitude even in the darkest of times, she's a good person to have on your side.

Puffi Urai-CannibalInABox
Name:
Sioko Riganshi
Race:
Human
Gender:
Male (Can appear female)
Age:
16
Appearance:
Sioko (Female disquise on the left, normal appearance on right.)
Skills/Abilities:
Disquises, learning basic Fire Magic, decent with a spear.
Other Info
Sioko is a fast learner- although he loses the information just as fast unless it interests him-, but lacks dearly in the social skills department. He's very sarcastic, alienating almost everyone he meets with his dark, cynical attitude. Once you know him, though, he is surprisingly shy and insecure, avoiding relationships- romantic and platonic- like a plague or possibly a horde of kelraths. Incredibly quick to anger, even quicker to become violent. He's particularly interested in the religions of Malgahress, especially older ones with a lot of history. He has a tendency to lurk around alone in the quiet, which has led to a sensitivity to loud or sudden sounds.

Name:
Mait Parusin
Race:
Vampire
Gender:
Male
Age:
Somewhere in the 300s now
Appearance:
Mait
Skills/Abilities:
Black Magic, regenerative powers.
Other Info
Mait may not be able to withstand the sun, but that hasn't stopped him yet. He's not particularly gifted in either magic, but he's an above-average fighter thanks to his enhanced healing ability. He's kind, if stubborn, but often forgets that humans are as durable as he is and that he needs to be careful. His use of black magic makes some people nervous, especially combined with his vampirism, so he normally tries to hang back so as not to upset anyone. He has an old burn scar on most of the right half of his face he keeps covered with his hair. Any questions asked about it are immediately dodged. He found himself fascinated by both Sioko's ability and his surprising lack of prejudice. He quickly befriended Puffi, although that's no amazing feat.
