World Building:
Sigyl lives in the world of Terrha’in, that consists of six continents inhabited by varying cultures and governments. Magic is done by channeling the natural energies of the world through one's body and expelling back out to achieve certain effects. However, wizards tend to get extremely used to one kind of energy and the four quarters of the world contain slightly different energies so, while there may be areas where they mix (And only one relatively small area where all the energies converge) for the most part it's rare to see magic users outside of their native parts of the world unless a) they're very good, b) They're actively training or c) are doing something of great importance.
Humans also live alongside other races such as elves, dwarves and "beastfolk," people who resemble bipedal animals. Monsters exist alongside regular animals and are often treated as normal, if not more dangerous, parts of the regular wildlife. Certain monsters have been domesticated and are occasionally raised as farm animals.
Sigyl is specifically from the continent of Thornspane, a medium sized continent with around half of it belonging to the Leahdour Kingdom. Many decades before Sigyl was born, a monster rampaged through the continent, and especially terrorized the Leahdour Kingdom and the surrounding area. Four young adventurers took it upon themselves to slay the monster and bring an end to the suffering it inflicted on the citizens. After a difficult adventure, they sucessfully defeated the beast. Though rewarded by the kingdom, they remained mostly anonymous to the general populace. Soon after, the King appointed a young woman his new Court Magician. No one knew who she was as she wore a mask during any public appearances and spoke only to the king in whispers. She also seemed to be very influential in regards to swaying the King's opinion and his son the prince seemed very fond of her as well. This young woman was secretly one Elda Frey, who was one of the adventurers that slayed the mysterious beast, having chosen to be anonymous to keep something of a private life. Many of those in the king’s court did not like her as her suggestions are into what they perceived as their own wealth and “mysteriously” soon rumors began to spread that she had wicked intentions, that she would use her influence with the king to bring ruin to the kingdom. The citizens began to become concerned and expressed these concerns loudly and, occasionally, angrily. This went on for several months, until one day, the Court Magician seemingly disappeared with no one else being appointed to the role. Many years later, the people of Leahdour kingdom were becoming increasingly agigated. The gap between the rich and the poor was widening and conditions for the common person were growing worse. The current king, Alwyn, was inexperienced having become king at a young age, after losing his father to illness and his mother to a magic accident. He relied increasingly on advice from the nobles that made up the court; instead of appointing them himself, he still had the court his father and mother had in their service. A year or so into his rule, citizens from the edges of the kingdom came to the king to plead for help; a large dragon, the likes of which were not native to Thornspane, had been eating their livestock and generally annoying everyone. Seeing an opportunity to raise his approval among the citizens, the court did their best to track down the adventurers who killed the beast that plagued the kingdom years ago, or if not possible, their nearest relation. They made a big show of sending them off to defeat this terrifying dragon that they built up into a terrible menace...only for almost all of them to end up dying. As one of the adventurers was Lady Seline, an incredibly popular and influential religious figure, there was an uproar in the kingdom. The people had had enough of what many percieved as an incompetant king. The most extreme accusations called it an indirect assassination and there were threats of violence towards the king and the nobles of his court. Several days later, it came out that the king had been assassinated himself. After his death, his sister Princess Olivine, would be crowned queen and dismissed her brother's court. In reality, she had faked Alwyn's death so he could run away, using a magic item to disguise her brother’s appearance, threatening his court with punishment should they divulge this information.
