Sorry, it took way longer than I thought it would!
My series is set in medieval times in a world called Nýr where mythical creatures exist alongside humankind. Most of my creatures are original or inspired by Chinese and Old Norse/English myths.
Nýr is made up of 4 pieces of land. Und, (which means Hell in my language), set in the far north of the world, and is where demons live and separated from the rest of the world by a large brick wall called the Boundary Line. Edan (which means Heaven), which is set in the far south of the world and is where heroes who died valiantly, or Queens and Kings go when they die. Thirignam and Agro are the only places where mortals live and are where the events in my series take place.
Thiginam (the bigger piece of land), houses every creature, while Agro is a small island where only Vatns live. (Vatns are categorized as “water creatures” because they gills on their necks but are usually farmers and live on land).
Everyone on Nýr can use magic, some races can use it better than others, but for the first thousand years, no-one knew magic existed and went about their lives ignorant. It was at the end of the First Age when siblings (later called the High Four or the Ace), found four stones, the Ezekiel Stones. (Which made it possible for them to use magic).
The High Four began to use their new abilities to regulate Thirignam, splitting the world up into four sections, each becoming the one ruler over that area.
The first-born, Qwin became the first Warden and was the most powerful of the group, being able to heal, slow time, and control the elements.
The second-born, Flillana, became the first Lafear. Her ability was more of healing with herbs and such.
The third-born, Aisher was a Dyn and was the weakest, his powers were more of faster martial-arts and could slow time.
The youngest, Afla, was able to control the elements but only if the element is relevantly close.
The story follows 3 main characters all have different villains and character arcs.
Ladios’ villain is himself and his past, and the stories about him trying to find his true self and not the person he was “meant” to be.
Thea is more of a supporting character where she is also trying to help Ladios and bring her race back.
Arwood is his father, having to finally embrace who he is and know every person is different and just because he has bad blood in him doesn’t make him bad.
Here it is in more detail.
