"Are we perfect? No! We are very far from perfect ... BUT we are determined! We seek strength through emotions. Together we are strong! Every single one of us is special and talented in their very own way."
The most powerfull human kingdom - "Yōeuroppa"
After their failure in the "timeless wars" against the darkelves in attempt to conquer Kimasu, human kind suffered a massive loss of their people but are in fact still the most populated race on this world.
Yōeuroppa is devided in two destricts:
- The upper district: A city build on a huge Colosseum. The home of royal familys, popular war heroes and sucessfull business men.
-The lower district: Where the common population is settled. Yōeuroppa is a great kingdom so there is barely any poverty. The people in those districts live a simple life, not too bad not too good.
There are barely any possibilities for lower district people to get promoted up to the higher districts. One is if you manage to create and build a very successfull market and make enough money with your business to buy yourself a license to the upper district but those licenses are ridiculously expensive. An example: If one thousand people of the lower districts would put all their savings together it would be just enough to only buy one single license.
Yōeuroppa's Queen - "Sophia"
"My enemies, are the kingdoms enemies."
She prevails over the kingdom in a very strict, merci- and ruthless way but everything she does is for the people. Her husband, the King, died in the "timeless war" and led this once great kingdom into ruins but Sophia managed to save it, letting it rise up highly once again like a phoenix from the ashes. Even though Sophia seeks revenge for the death of her husband, she is no fool and goes things on step by step. First on her priority list is the kingdom. She managed to heal all the cities completely up and their market was booming like never before. Now she works on recreating the royal army, she started building up schools and taverns all over the kingdom. The tasks people had to overcome to become knights were very hard, maybe even too hard but Sophia's goal wasn't a large army, no, her goal was an army with loyality, honor and strength. Quality over quantity was her motto.
Sophia's Generals - "The seven Titans"
Serving directly under Queen Sophia. Every single one of them are incredible skilled warriors and would fight and die for the kingdom whenever Sophia would order it. They are one of the main reasons no other nation or kingdom dares to declare war on Yōeuroppa.

Human knights/different weapons and abilities:
Armor:
Human knights do have armor made out of metal and silk, veterans are even allowed to customize it a bit. The armor is very well made, it's not overloaded so you're still pretty agile while wearing it.
Weapons:
-Spear; a weapon whichs basics are easy to master but the difference between a spear veteran and a casual spear fighter are immense.
-Sword; the sword is an unpredictable weapon, there are so many kinds of swords and so many ways to use it. For knights who have no fear in facing the enemy on very close combat.
-Bow; A weapon where you can stay safe and out of danger zone. Getting hit from an arrow though is never as bad as suffering the strike of a sword and as soon as the enemy manages to get in melee range to you, you have to depend on your dagger, which is a really weak weapon.
-Axe; slow but insanely destructive. A weapon where even the basics are hard to master. It's heavy and hard to wild but every hit of an axe is like facing death.
Magic and healing:
Humans should only choose one way, either wielding a weapon or using magic spells but are also able to learn both. If they decide learning both though, it will take much more time and they can't reach the full potential out of the two ways. If only focused on one, they will get incredible skilled at the chosen method they used.
Magic spells:
-Fire; simple but usefull. The ability to shoot multiple fire projectiles which are little but painfull when they hit in masses. [If focused on the ability the projectiles are bigger and you're able to charge up a fire blast.]
-Water; defensive and beautiful. summons massive water masses all around you which will block all kinds of melee attacks and arrows not very effective against magic spells though. [If focused on the ability you're able to use the water in an offensive way aswell, shooting water with insanely high pressure. You also can turn your defensive ability to ice which blocks attacks of all sorts.]
-Thunder; producing a loud and massive shock wave which bursts enemies infront of you away, doesn't do much damage though, except you manage to burst them against certain objects. [If focused on the ability your Thunder burst is stronger and you're able to surround your weapon with electricity which make your strikes quicker and deadlier.]
Bounty hunters/Outlaws/Adventurers and travelers:
Obviously you don't have to be offically registered in the royal army to wield a weapon. You can simply earn yourself a weapon license by graduating the training from an offical master. Or you just don't care about the rules and steal a weapon/make it yourself before teaching it yourself. However beeing an Outlaw or bounty hunter isn't easy, you're usually on your own, a lone wolf in a cruel world but if you're good at your work and overcome the struggels and hard times you'll become a powerfull, well known and respected warrior.
The most popular tavern of Yōeuroppa - "Flaming Flamingo"
"a legal place for illegals."
Even though it's a popular tavern in general, a whole lot of outlaws, bounty hunters and other illegals adore this place. It's a gigantic tavern with all sorts of people. If you need information about anything or anyone, the flaming flamingo is the place to go. All sorts of stories/informations and deals are discussed and made here but be warned, you shouldn't trust everything you hear here as a alot of false informations are spred in there aswell.
The tavern is a very good place to make comrades and friends. Maybe hiring some people you want to make a mission with or simply enjoy yourself after a long exhausting journey/Quest. Be carefull though, you can easily make enemies in there aswell. Fights aren't allowed inside the tavern but it happens very often anyways, usually the guards are ending those pretty quickly and tosses the fighters out though.
"Kayne" - The Beast
A bounty hunter, no, a ruthless murderer without any sense of honor. The most important thing for him is money and gold and he will pull out any trick, doesn't matter how dirty, to get his targets. If you promise him payment for killing a kid, he will come back with the kids ripped off head to you, asking for his promised money. Though all this doesn't change the fact how much of a powerfull and feared fighter he is. His axe swings are twice as deadly and fast thanks to his great strength. He and his men are visiting kimasu every once in a while but for some reason he always manages to come back alive out of it with only a few scratches.
"The timeless War"
"No, I didn't feel like I fought in a war. More like surviving a never ending hell."
12 years ago the humans, especially the kingdom Yōeuroppa declared war on the dark elves as the humans wanted to conquer the forest kimasu, steal it's treasures, creatures and more. The dark elves though rejected to accept them here and killed every human explorer team off. Back then Yōeuroppa had multiple partner kingdoms under their command and so all the kingdoms rulers decided to have a meeting to find a solution about their conflict with the race of the dark elves. After a long discussion everyone agreed on starting a war to wipe them off. They were too arrogant, they knew about the massive size and strength of this elf race but they assumed the fact that they simply had a way larger army under their command would be enough of a win condition. They were wrong ... after a long bloody and exhausting war which lasted for over 2 years the dark elves striked multiple kingdoms down and even managed to kill the great king of Yōeuroppa. Humanity had to face it, they had to face the very bitter taste of loss. So every general who survived the war started to walk openly towards the dark elves one day, completely unarmed. A few Dark elf tribe leaders walked towards them till they finally met. All the generals bowed slowly one after one down while a gigantic white flag was waved from far behind them. The tribe leaders immediately understood their attempt to surrender and accepted. A contract was made which said that humans aren't allowed to enter kimasu anymore. But a few humans decided to go anyways, however that didn't count as a contract break as the generals warned the dark elves about humans who wouldn't listen to the contract so they allowed the dark elves to kill them off. Queen Sophia though, made use of that and started an operation: Sending multiple little explorer teams out in the forests and simply claim to the dark elves that it wasn't her order. Her operation is pretty succesfull as there are alot less dark elves now. Means the teams had a higher chance of surving but she isn't statisfied yet. Sophia needs way more informations to finally strike the dark elves down so more and more explorer teams are getting sent out in these dangerous forests.
Healing:
If you decided learning the ability to heal you can only choose one more way to learn just like usually BUT you're able to fully master the way (focus on the way) and use it by it's full potential even though you technically went for two ways.
Healing in combat is very difficult and you're really open to attack if you choose to heal a comerad during a fight as it needs a bit of time and both hands of you to use the healing spells, so you must withdraw your weapons. Also you can't heal anyone completely up from toe to head just like that.
