Spoiler: mobile users ⠀ Island of Drachenlied A Lore Guide ────────⠀⠀────────​ At the heart of an azure sea lies a vibrant archipelago, once graced by the majestic presence of dragons revered as deities, wielding wisdom and power. These magnificent beings bestowed upon the mortals not just a blessed unity, but also the profound art of magic. Sorcery fueled the rise of towering cities, advanced technology, and mastery of the natural world. However, it'd all come at a terrible cost. Mages who delved too deeply into magic or wielded its power recklessly risked succumbing to a horrific corruption, twisted into monstrous and devastating forms. These corrupted creatures still wreak havoc on the world, and the only force capable of standing against the nightmares is the very same thing that created them: magic. Shape the realm, or let it shape you—adventure is in the wind, and it looks to all who are willing to answer its call.​ ────────⠀⠀──────── setting overview​ TIME:⠀Time on the island passes at the same rate as time on Earth and is measured in the same way. Drachenlied's setting has 12 months, 4 seasons, and weeks are 7 days long. ⠀​ TECHNOLOGY:⠀The majority of Drachenlied operates on real-world early 17th-century technology, and in most cases, magic plays a vital role in almost all the realms' advancements. ⠀​ SPELLWORK:⠀After the disappearance of the dragons, magic could only be learned or inherited from other mortals. After generations, arcana became muted and mundane; anyone could cast given the right materials and knowledge. However, there are a rare few born with the Draconic Mark; a special connection to the world and linked to the powerful dragons who once oversaw it. ⠀​ EVENTS:⠀Multiple realm-wide holidays and other annual traditions belonging to each respective territory take place. Additionally, there are special roleplay opportunities and prompts when the Harrowbane Hunt is initiated.​ ────────⠀⠀──────── navigation intro⠀|⠀guide⠀|⠀locales⠀|⠀society⠀|⠀culture⠀|⠀quests​ ⠀
