(A/N: This chapter is mainly based on the description of the novel's world and its cultivation systems; it's a must read if you want to understand the novel's world well.)
Argatha is a very large continent. It is divided among its inhabitants into the five sacred domains (the humans dwell here), the four abyssal empires (demon dwellers), the two wildernesses (the beast kin dwell here), and the green pastures (the elves dwell here).
The five domains are, namely:
1. The pastures: this is one of the weakest domains among the others; it is located at the north of Argatha, and it was mostly inhabited by human kingdoms; it had the highest kingdom population among the rest.
2. the desolate: this domain was the second weakest among the domains, though unlike the pastures, it hardly had any kingdoms,.only some powerful sacred clans and factions; its geographical form was a desert; now you can guess where it got its name; it was also located at the north of Aratha.
3. The Mire: This domain was located to the south of Argatha and was just right beside one of the demons abyssal empires. It was a land mostly filled with water, and unlike the previous two, it was controlled by only one power house, called the Vinshu Water Temple.
4. The Glory's Syndicate: This domain was located at the very center of Argatha; to call it a domain would be wrong because this was a power house itself. Imagine a faction being enough to be called a domain; that alone speaks volumes of their power.
5. Ethos: This domain was very mysterious; it was once located to the east of Argatha, until the people created an artifact. It was a very powerful utility-type artifact, and its function was to make the domain fly, so it was one of the rarely visited domains, which is why there was little to no information about it.
As for the four abyssal empires, much like humans, the demons were ruled by one being, so the four empires only had one emperor and one name, "The Infernal Syndicate," and each of them was located in the south, east, center,and west of Argatha.
The wilderness were also both governed by one body, but unlike the demons, they had four beast emperors. As for the name, no beast bothers to give names to its home, so they were just both known as the wilderness, which were located at the center and east of Argatha.
while the elven domain is the biggest, mainly because they had only one, but unlike the rest, the elves have no factions or empires, nor are they ruled by a being; they only have the elven nobles, and they were located at the west of Argatha.
POWER LEVELS
Now that we've spoken about the inhabitants of Argatha and their habitats, we will now go to the cultivation path of the continent. There are mainly four levels of powers, but there are still branches for each level, and they're...
MORTAL PLANE
awakend
master
saint
NOBLE PLANE
Baron
viscount
Earl
Marquis
Duke
ROYAL PLANE
Lord
king
emperor
TRANCENDANT PLANE
mythical
terror
calamity
apocalypse
The mortal plane is a level that can be reached by anyone as long as one has the talent, but the rest needs more than talent; it also needs luck. To reach the noble plane, one needed to be born with noble fate—I repeat, born, not obtained—and that goes for the rest as well. So even if one has talent, or even if one is hardworking, without fate, you are nothing, and to be clear, all races use the same power level system.
ASPECTS
Now we will talk about aspects. These are the attributes one gets after awakening that determine one's future path.
and each aspect is unique, and once one awakens, he gains his aspect runes. So you can understand more, let me give an example of an aspect rune.
Name: Roland
Race:Human
Aspect: the star counter
fate level: trancendant
Aspect level: divine
This is an example of an aspect rune; this in particular is an oracle's aspect. An aspect rune is a measure put in by the world spirit to make things easier, and there are different levels of aspects.
black level
Earth level
mutant level
ascended level
domain level
transcendent level
divine level
With black being the weakest and divine being the strongest, now to our story.
