Heroes

Legend

“Amidst thousands of living straws, swaying to the whims of the wind and fading into obscurity with the passage of time, there are those rare few who stand tall, vibrant, and resolute. Through their remarkable deeds or mere presence, they shape the very fabric of our World, etching themselves into the annals of legend.”

History

Since the dawn of time, summoned by dire perils or serendipitous circumstances, Heroes have emerged. Yet whenever they appear, they ignite a spark that sets in motion a series of events, their actions rippling across both the world and time itself.

A Hero transcends the realm of ordinary mortals, ascending above the common masses. They distinguish themselves through acts of valour, bravery, amassed wealth, honed skills, profound knowledge, or formidable power. Their elevation is not achieved through a singular action or event, but rather through the lifelong path of evolution that propels them ever higher. Scholars attribute this phenomenon to what they classify as Stats—five fundamental attributes forming the foundation of a Hero’s Carcass, while the other three hold sway over their Magical abilities.

When examining the descriptions of Heroes, you may notice that some bear the heritage of two Races. This is a result of mixed parental lineage, and both their paternal and maternal origins are noted. As ancestral heritage becomes more mixed at the level of grandparents, it is common to employ terms like Realmar to denote the mingling of realms.

Organisation

One might be inclined to assume that Heroes are bound by ties to Nobility, while others may be entirely free from such entanglements. However, the truth is that Heroes share little in common beyond the awe with which a broader segment of the population regards them. Their deeds and ways of life span a vast spectrum, defying easy categorization.

Special

What sets a Hero apart is the expectation of extraordinary occurrences whenever they are present. They possess an innate ability to stir the extraordinary, forever leaving their indelible mark on the tapestry of existence.
