Abilities and weapons

Mancers: They are people gifted with extraordinary abilities after surviving an attack from a Great Beast. Only one in fifty people live and, in those survivors, not many develop abilities.

Sigil Weapons: They are weapons marked with mystic symbols giving them a range of abilities. Sigil weapon may only be taken by the person who killed the original wielder, or it can be picked up when the wielder dies of natural causes (accidents don't count, if one does occur the first person to pick it up owns it)

They are malevolent gods who want only destruction and depravity. The Mancers claim to have a strong connection to them through the whispers they hear that slowly drives them insane.

They are a religion that first started when the people fled the sinful city of Ethos. They believe they were saved by the god Bellion who turned into a giant hawk and carried them to the undiscovered continent of Selerion. The church believes Bellion will return to usher in an age of peace as written by the first settlers.

The Whisper King 

The whisper king of the mancer king was mancer who travelled the world gaining knowledge to understand the voice of the grey gods he heard. He returned back to the kingdom insane and intent on ruling after starting a rebellion. The kingdom united against their common enemy. That led to a war that killed thousands and left the kingdom in ruins and the land scared from his dark magic.

The Searing of the East

A fire that burned a memory into all those from the East. A small village of Draug settlers was set on fire leading to the east and a lot of its trees and greenary burning. The surviving people tried to enter the Capital of the East where the Brande family was. This was a trojan horse as when the gates were opened fighters were mixed in with the refugees and the people of the slaughtered including Colden's father lord Bael Brande.
