Banestorm: Difference between revisions

One Thousand years later, Ytarria is now more or less a [[Standard Fantasy Setting]], dominated by [[The Empire]] of Megalos, surrounded by various other nations on all sides. Technology is maintained at a [[Medieval Stasis|low level]] by the Ministry of Serendipity, an Imperial office which hunts down rogue technologists and victims of modern Banestorm incidents, in order to brainwash them to [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|erase dangerous information from their minds.]]

 

* [[Arabian Nights Days]]. Exemplified in two distinct nations: the kingdom of al-Haz, founded by Shi'ite Muslims, and the kingdom of al-Wazif, founded by Sunni Muslims. There used to be a third such kingdom, al-Kard, but after it was conquered by Megalos and subsequently became an independant nation, it became the culturally diverse nation of Cardiel.

** al-Haz and al-Wazif are primarily divided over the existance of magic and it's acceptability according to Sharia Law; the Wazifi Sunnis see nothing wrong with the use of magic for bettering human lives, though they require wizards to serve two years in service to the government. The Shi'ite Hazi consider magic more dangerous and morally dubious, and barely tolerate its use for good, though many Mullahs want it outlawed entirely. Only Megalos' use of magic in it's army keeps these radicals in a minority.
