A brief about the world settings. The kingdom is named ChandShikhar( Chand-Shee-khur). It literally means Moon peak as the highest peak in the kingdom gives the perfect view to the bright Moon and it appears more close to Land. The people living here are Moon worshippers. They are called Chandrians. They believe that the Moonlight keeps them safe at night from any monsters and evil. Ancient Chandrian people used to practice a special form of summoning called Moon Magic which included a variety of powers given to individuals based on their capabilities. Though it is now locked away and not talked about due to the evil people using it to resurrect or create abominations.
The kingdom of ChandShikhar is divided into five cities. It is said that the Kingdom is a perfect structure due to the geographical locations of the cities and their specialties. The five cities are:
1. Varunganj: ( Vuh- roon- gunj)
