Cirke
15th Day of Kokahim, Year 754 TR
Welcome to the world of Cirke, a place like our own planet, and entirely different all at once. In this world there are humanoids, animals, and then there are creatures. Creatures have magic and some say they are the child of Hekan, every single one of them. Each of these creatures has several 'forms' as others have dubbed them--and at their basest form is their entire being concentrated into a magical amulet. To use this form, most creatures have to make a blood bond with another life form, so that they may come out. It is the most highly sought after type of magical contract in the world, and some say the hardest to truly achieve.
Having some sort of magic of ones own is key to creating this bond, but that doesn't mean you have to be a ____ to be valued in this world, many don't have magic and never will, and even those who do don't always seek out such... high risk ways of life.
Alternatively, you could be an Ooskaran farmer, at peace with oneself and the bountiful lands of Felgaia the Earth Mother--Or your could be a whale hunter in the freezing oceans off Feldock, eyes on becoming a paramount member of one of the matriarchal crews of the Pikotori women. A peaceful life not exciting enough for you? Travel to Murake and join one of the Lawless in a land full of crime and thieves and boats full of pirates--but watch yourself; cross the wrong people and you'll be ran out of town.
You and your actions are watched over by a whole slew of gods and spirits, judging and guiding your every move. Free will is real, but so is karma, and the gods will act on it.
