Astrolon: A Realm of Immortality

A breathtaking ethereal heavenly realm, An expansive golden city suspended amidst the clouds. This floating city is a labyrinth of towering spires and intricate, gothic-style architecture, glowing with radiant, golden light that seems to emanate from within the structures themselves. The detailed designs are adorned with shimmering accents, giving the impression of divine craftsmanship.

The city is surrounded by lush greenery, with vibrant foliage and gardens cascading from its platforms and terraces, adding a natural touch to the celestial majesty. Soft, misty clouds envelop the base of the city, blending seamlessly with the sky, which is painted in hues of soft blues, purples, and radiant gold. A brilliant rainbow arches overhead, further enhancing the divine ambiance.

Scattered light refracts throughout the realm, casting a prism-like glow across the structures and clouds. Floating islands, adorned with more greenery and smaller structures, hover nearby, giving the impression of an endless, otherworldly expanse. The overall atmosphere exudes peace, grandeur, and almost unearthly perfection.

Astrolon stands as the luminous heart of the immortal world, a breathtaking city brimming with divine energy and grandeur, where the supreme deities gracefully dwell. This enigmatic city, shrouded in mystery and protected by ethereal barriers, is nestled at the center of seven magnificent continents. Each continent, a realm of unparalleled beauty and strength, boasts its unique splendor, echoing the tales of power and glory ruled by seven formidable emperors. Their influence resonates through the land, creating a harmonious symphony of ambition and reverence, as the continents thrive under their majestic reign. Each continent is home to its kingdoms.

The Seven continents are 

1. Leaverun

2. Avalon

3. Kyrell

4. Sylvania

5. Inara

6. Thorin

7. Emyrus 

The immortal realm is a vast and ancient domain characterized by intense power struggles, remarkable achievements, and profound sacrifices made by formidable warriors. In this realm, every individual is evaluated based on their noble bloodline, which often determines their social standing, and rank, which showcases their skill and accomplishments in battles.

The Hierarchy is structured into five distinct ranks, each playing a vital role in the glory of immortal realm.

1. Rulers of continents 

2. Gods 

3. Demigods

4. Scoins 

5. Worshipers 

There are some additional existences not mentioned in the rankings, which are::

~ Supreme Deities are not ranked first because they are unchangeable and serve as the very foundation of everything in the world.

 ~ Those who choose not to participate in power struggles often find themselves in one of two positions. They may become revered figures, having distanced themselves from their hereditary ties, or they may rise to become city lords of kingdoms, leveraging their strengths in diplomacy and governance rather than in combat.

~ Individuals possessing advanced magical attributes are uniquely positioned to cultivate meaningful political relationships, fostering collaboration and mutual benefit with other Continents or within kingdoms.

• SCOINS *-

Individuals who embark on the path of basic body forging undergo a rigorous training regimen that lasts for an extensive period of 100 years. This process is designed to strengthen their physical form and enhance their bones, ultimately transforming them into a unique class of practitioners known as "scoins." Scoins have perfected their foundational bodies, enabling them to tap into a multitude of attributes as they strive for immortality. 

In contrast, mortals or those who have not completed their body forging can only harness two major magical attributes without risking severe damage to their physical bodies. This restriction underscores the importance of body forging as a crucial step for anyone looking to embrace the path of the immortal. To truly begin this transformative journey, one must conquer the inherent limitations of an untrained body.

Although the conventional timeline for mastering this training is 100 years, some exceptional individuals can complete their body forging ahead of schedule and still achieve the esteemed title of scoin. It is worth noting that individuals who possess immense potential but neglect to undergo body forging—regardless of their natural talent—will not receive a ranking in the community. This highlights the paramount significance of the body forging in the pursuit of greater magical abilities and the attainment of immortality. 

FESTIVAL OF FATE

The annual event serves as a significant opportunity for individuals aspiring to become kings to determine their destinies. During this occasion, the fates of seven selected warriors are intertwined for a lifetime, emphasizing that selection is based on skills, magical prowess, and inherent talents rather than bloodlines. The blessings of supreme deities further enhance their eligibility to form a cohesive team.

Once their fates are established, the warriors partake in a rigorous body-forging training program. Those who are unable to complete the training will not be included in the teams. However, participants who successfully finish the training will have the opportunity to rejoin the festival alongside those who have also completed the necessary preparations, fostering a spirit of fairness and collaboration and can recreate the team with blessings. 

 " Through years of eternity, harmony abides

Shaped by power's hands, where wisdom resides

 Passion and strife, woven by power's design

 Forge a heritage, where life and death entwine

 Balance is kept, in an eternal, cosmic rhyme. "
