Lore Primer: Denkai

[Nalumire]

Denkai-
The Denkai kingdom is a land with a history that stretches back to the time Before the monarchy's establishment, the kingdom was controlled by a series of clan chiefs. However, after some time, a monarchy was formed, and the Dol'ara house, the lineage of the Lightning Sovereign, has ruled the kingdom for the past ten millennia.

The other three great houses - Ange', Orada, and Minaru - have played an equally crucial role in the kingdom's stability and progress.

The Ange' house is responsible for research and experimentation, and they have been second only to the Dol'ara in terms of intellect. They have contributed immensely to the kingdom's medical system and possess ancient and potent healing magic, which has contributed significantly to the kingdom's overall well-being.

The Orada house is responsible for the kingdom's architecture and technology. They have crafted every form of communication device, and Conductors (used for medical, transportation, and battle purposes), and have contributed significantly to the kingdom's industry. Their contribution has been critical to the kingdom's growth and development.

The Minaru house is the largest of the Denkai and has produced some of the most powerful and versatile shapers. They have been the protectors of the Dol'ara house since the founding of the kingdom and have served as the kingdom's military might. The Sun Goku Daughters, a leading faction within the house, are highly skilled in both magic and combat and have led the kingdom through many battles. They are one of the most significant assets of the kingdom.

The Dol'ara house is the only bloodline in the Denkai kingdom that has produced the Sovereigns and the great and wise Crafters. They have led the kingdom with an iron fist and equal distribution of wealth through the houses. They are the literal amalgamation of all the presiding households in one and possess brawn, brain, and a unique flair for magic. They are the true guardians of Denkai and the preservers of their legacy and blood.

The Dol'ara house does not use members of other households as ambassadors for other lands or important political meetings. They are the force behind their collective voices because doing so constantly puts their lives at risk from those who would want to get their hands on the kingdom's vast resources. Their motto, "We are the Keepers of the Sovereign, the Antecedents of Light, and we are the Will of the Mortals and the Hearts of the Sovereign," has echoed through the ages and has been the founding reason why these warrior diplomats can be found at the front line of every war. This willingness to lay down their lives and fight with all they are to protect their kingdom has earned them respect aside from their great bloodline.

Glossary:

Sovereigns Steel-The foundation of the Denkai kingdom's prosperity. This metal is a highly durable yet surprisingly malleable resource that just happens to be virtually the best conduit for electricity. It was first discovered through the pilgrimage of a group of Denkai who happened upon it at the base of the largest and most dangerous mountain in Madeira ; Mt.Faulkan, The tip is known as the Maidens Peak. Through the will of the First Virescent Sovereign, the great storms of Faulkan were quelled and allowed for the mining of the metal. The resource is plentiful as the mountain itself and as such is intimately interrelated through most of the Kingdom. Denkai architecture allows for them to have a constant pool of energy being fed into acting as lightning rod-like constructs that distribute this energy through the Kingdom.

Conductors- have a long and fascinating history that dates back to the ancient times of Denkai. They are the result of the Denkai's profound understanding of the elements and their innate ability to innovate. Initially, conductors were nothing more than simple magical tools that helped channel the immense power of elemental magic. However, over time, the Denkai conducted extensive research and engineering to transform conductors into the most versatile and advanced creations known to man.

Today, conductors are used in a wide range of applications, ranging from vehicles to everyday necessities, top-notch military arms, and even some of the most advanced medical equipment. The strength of the user directly impacts the efficiency of the conductor, making it an ideal tool for those with great power.

Conductors are a testament to the Denkai's relentless pursuit of progress and their commitment to using their knowledge and skills to better the world. With their unparalleled versatility, conductors have become an indispensable tool in many industries, and their importance in our daily lives cannot be overstated.

Contiver-The Denkai populace is primarily comprised of mages, with the Mage class making up a whopping 90% of the total population. While all Denkai possess some level of magical ability, it is only the truly masterful ones who can call themselves Contivers and wear that prestigious mantle with pride. To effectively wield their power, Contivers rely on the use of conductors. These devices allow mages to utilize their magic in a way that does not pose a direct threat to those around them.

However, it is the very same Contivers who have played a crucial role in the overall industrial and societal growth of the Denkai Kingdom over the ages. Through their mastery of metal, they have contributed to the creation of a Kingdom that has not only withstood the test of time but has also reigned supreme for over 10,000 years. Indeed, their ingenuity and innovation have been instrumental in shaping the Kingdom's history and shaping the Denkai way of life.

Crafters- Magical precursors, the originators, Birthers of the Sovereign, those of the Denkai line who are able to manipulate magic through free form. These images are rare even amongst the Denkai for in order to control the great force of the sky one would normally use a conductor. But crafters are said to be amongst the First Denkai, and as a result, have moved and swayed with the naten of the skies much longer than the average line. Up until now, they were thought to all to have been women for all the men of Denkai have shown themselves to be Contivers. But Nazuma is the first amongst the bloodline to be capable of both.

The Denkai have also mastered the art of Augmented Reality technology through the combined prowess of the Orada and Ange'. Powering their tech and understanding through arcane sources. Many conduits have the ability to interact in real-time fashion using magic.

The Blesse of the Arashin, Virescent King- As exceptional as the Denkai expentional lightning magic and as powerful as the Crafter class of mages that stand above them are, there exists an exception to the exception. A magus that no blood flowing through the Denkai line could possibly hold a candle to. That otherworldly machination would be The Arashin. The title of Virescent Sovereign is one step in prophecy. A deity who split it in to five elemental forms, The Arashin-Virescent King, The Marashin-Claret King, Kaishin-Fuchsia King, Edoshin- Flaxen King, and Daishin-Cerulean King . Bringer of life, wisdom, and millennial (Through their unique thousand-year lifespan) prosperity for the Denkai Kingdom. A living breathing God-King. Over the vast Eons the Denkai have traveled the body of Vescrutia only three have ever been said to have existed; He who started the Kingdom of Denkai after quelling the Storm of Mt. Faulkun, Guided and cared for his people over the face of the mother The First Sovereign of Lightning, Virescent King Nimes Enin Dol'ara Denkai


The Sovereigns
In a distant era, there existed a divine entity made up of five elements collectively referred to as the Ebreron Sovereign. Each element embodied a distinct aspect of existence and was imbued with the power to ensure its preservation.

The Sovereign of Wind also known as the Marashin, represented the physical manifestation of the God of Wind. It was responsible for preserving the mind, which encompasses the thought processes, emotions, and consciousness of living beings. The Marashin was believed to be a fearsome entity whose power could be harnessed to focus the mind, increase mental clarity and enhance intuition.

The Sovereign of Lightning, or the Arashin, embodied the God of Lightning and was entrusted with preserving the spirit. The spirit refers to the intangible essence of life, including the soul, energy, and breath. The Arashin was seen as a gentle entity that could bring peace, calmness, and serenity to the heart and mind of living beings.

The Sovereign of Fire, also known as the Daishin, was the vessel of the God of Fire. It was tasked with preserving life, which included the sustenance and vitality of living beings. The Daishin was seen as a powerful entity that could provide warmth, light, and energy to all living things.

The Sovereign of Water, or the Kaishin, was the vessel of the God of Water and was entrusted with preserving rebirth. Rebirth refers to the process of renewal and regeneration, which is crucial for the survival and evolution of all living beings. The Kaishin was seen as a nurturing entity that could heal, purify, and refresh the body and mind of living beings.

Lastly, the Sovereign of Earth, also known as Edoshin, was the physical vessel of the God of Earth. It was tasked with preserving the body, which includes the physical form and material existence of living beings. Edoshin was seen as a stable entity that could provide grounding, stability, and nourishment to all living things.


The Sovereigns resided in their realm, known as the Sovereign's Plain. They enjoyed each other's company and engaged in playful interactions among themselves. However, as time passed, they grew tired of their secluded existence and began to observe the world of Vescrutia, a realm beyond their own. They watched with great interest as humans defied all odds to create thriving societies, and they were pleased with their progress. But the Sovereign of Fire grew envious of the mortals' power and decided to test its might against them. It led its armies to attack the mortal tribes of Vescrutia, pushing humanity to the brink of annihilation.

The Sovereigns could not bear to watch the bloodshed unfold and thus decided to intervene. They selected mortal vessels that had the potential to harness the power of the elements and defeat the Sovereign of Fire. These chosen ones were revered for their bravery, strength, and unwavering determination. They were blessed with knowledge and power to control the elements on esoteric levels to defeat the Sovereign of Fire.

The mortal vessels were in awe at the sight of the Sovereigns and the raw power they possessed. They were honored to harness the Gods' power. Finally, they were ready to confront the Sovereign of Fire. They battled with valor and unwavering determination, using their newfound abilities to their fullest potential. It was a long and grueling battle that lasted for decades, but eventually, they emerged victorious.

The Sovereigns were immensely pleased with the outcome and realized that the mortal vessels they had chosen were capable of much more than they had initially anticipated. They continued to observe Vescrutia, but now, they knew they had allies to help them in their mission to preserve life. The mortal vessels became known as the Kings and were honored for their bravery and unwavering dedication to the Sovereigns. From that day on, the Kings continued to utilize their powers to protect the world and preserve its balance.

The world of the Sovereigns is not without conflict. Among the powerful deities that control the elements of nature is the Fire Deity, a being of immense power and strength. The Fire Deity was accused of crimes against humanity by the other Sovereigns and was consequently betrayed and locked away in the mortal realm. This punishment was a severe blow to the Fire Deity's pride and honor, and it vowed to seek revenge against the other deities. The Fire Deity swore to kill the vessels of the other deities and return to the Sovereign Plains, where it would reclaim its throne as one of the most powerful deities in the world.

The other Sovereigns were aware of the Fire Deity's vow and feared its potential for destruction. They knew that the Fire Deity's desire for revenge could lead to a catastrophic conflict that could threaten the entire world. Despite this, they were unable to reverse their decision to banish the Fire Deity, as it was a matter of honor and justice.

Thus, the Fire Deity remained imprisoned in the mortal realm, biding its time and waiting for the opportunity to strike back at the other deities. Its vow of revenge hung over the world like a dark cloud, a constant reminder of the potential for conflict and chaos that lay ahead. The world of the Sovereigns continues to be one of intrigue and danger, where the balance of power is fragile and the potential for conflict is ever-present. The Kings, imbued with the power of the elements, remain vigilant in their quest to preserve harmony and protect the world from the Fire Deity's wrath.
