World Background: Cyrene
Cyrene is a vast and ancient world where the flow of magic intertwines with every mountain, forest, and sea. It is a realm shaped by countless eras, each leaving behind ruins, legends, and mysteries that still echo through the land. Magic exists not as a rarity, but as a fundamental force—manifested in enchanted landscapes, arcane storms, and the wondrous abilities of those attuned to its currents.
Across Cyrene, sword arts hold equal reverence to magic. Warriors train their bodies and spirits through centuries-old techniques, some infused with elemental power, others capable of standing against sorcerers and mythical beasts. Great academies, wandering masters, and secretive orders all preserve different schools of the blade.
The world is home to diverse races, each with its own culture, history, and relationship to magic. From skyborne avians who build their cities upon floating isles, to deep-rooted dwarves carving kingdoms beneath glowing crystal caverns, to elves who weave living forests into shimmering sanctuaries—Cyrene thrives on its vibrant differences. Humans too have carved vast empires, merchant cities, and nomadic tribes, influencing the world through ambition, innovation, and conflict.
Its cultures are rich, shaped by ancient pacts with spirits, divine traditions, seasonal festivals, and the unique challenges of their homelands. Trade routes, political alliances, and centuries-old rivalries make the world dynamic and ever-shifting.
Yet the greatest allure of Cyrene lies in its adventures. Unexplored wilderness hides forgotten temples and slumbering legends. Arcane rifts open without warning, spilling creatures from distant realms. Prophecies awaken chosen heroes, while shadowed conspiracies twist the fate of nations. Whether through magic, sword, or wits, adventurers rise—and the world is shaped by their stories.
Cyrene is a world of wonder, danger, and endless possibility… a place where every horizon invites a new journey.
