Brief Lore of Kyros

Hello! Welcome to the continent of Kyros! This moderately sized continent is shrouded in mystery to outsiders. It is surrounded by a strange magical barrier that bars any outside force to enter its domain. It's continent is not as large as the Atherian continent which is held in the same world, but it still holds its own secrets. It is filled with the strangest of beasts, dark magic, environment, and species.

The entire western region of the continent of Kyros is reigned by the ever so expanding Empire of Mynara that is ruled by the harshest, cruelest vampiric family.
The lower eastern, huge magical forest region of Kyros is ruled by the mystical Ysoria Kingdom in which no outsiders are allowed and yet it's harder to get out of.
The upper eastern cold, harsh region of the continent called Winterfell has long been taken over by a small collective group of families that have long ties to the history of the mysterious continent. With the Evron family being the most prominent.



Nations

These are the three most important places on this continent.
The Mynara Empire is the largest nation and by far the only empire on this continent.
The Ysoria Kingdom may be much older, however the people of the kingdom have no intention on spreading their borders to outsiders.
Lastly, Winterfell is more or less a town ruled by people with no king or emperor to rule that specific land.



Mynara Empire

The Empire of Mynara is one that has long withstood for nearly 1000 years, being formed in the early known days of expansion. It spans the entirety of the western region of the Kyros continent, with it overlooking over tons of dominions. The empire is known to be an intermix of species such as humans, vampires, and lycanthropes. With it's unique customs, this empire is constantly embroiled in constant internal affairs and wars over territories. Though, it's technically the safest place to live on the continent.
This empire is in a constant state of internal affairs between it's nobility over territories, familial ties, and especially over the royal family.
The people of the empire are called Mynarans.
There is a longstanding feud between the lycanthrope and vampire families, but they are kept in check by the Milvara royal family.
This empire is entirely sustainable upon it's ever-so expanding dominion over the Kyros continent, but maintains the agreement between them and the Ysoria Kingdom.
The Mynaran people think of the Winterfell dominion to be those who have long since abandoned their rights to be a part of the empire.
Though, the Mynara Empire do trade with the Winterfell domain, with it's main trade being magic stones.



Ysoria Kingdom

The Ysoria Kingdom is in the far eastern magical forest that houses fairies, elves, and magical beasts. They do not like outsiders. The Ysoria Kingdom is known to be far older than any other kingdom or empire on this planet that is surrounded it utter mystery and magical wonder.
It is a place full of spectacular wonders that most only ever think about seeing as the kingdom is closed off to any outsiders. The citizens of this magical kingdom are called Sorians.
The royal family is made up of 1 elven king and queen and 1 fairy king and queen.
There is a mutual land agreement between the Ysoria kingdom and the Mynara Empire, so that neither encroach on each other's territories.



Winterfell

The dominion of Winterfell is a strong foothold community within the cold, harsh snow mountainous region of the upper eastern part of the continent.
There are technically three families that have taken it upon themselves to oversee the future of Winterfell as it's pillars— the Evrons for they are the brilliant minds and first to settle in Winterfell, the Northbrooks for they come from a long line of warriors, and the Fultons for they come from a long line of merchants who own the rights to the mana stone mines in the region. It is easy to mistake them as nobles, but nobility and any outsiders are seen in a bad light.
The original purpose of this domain was to be part of the Mynara empire, but bands of families with long standing histories with the continent left the empire and settled down there.
This domain tends to stay out of conflict besides the occasional and unusual wild beasts that roam the dangerous land. And it's terrain is perfect to stop any invaders.
The people of the domain do not have a specific name, but they are a strong tight-knit community.
Though the region is harsh, it's great in trade and tradition.
The people of Winterfell and the Mynara Empire do not like each other, and for good reason.
The greatest trade of the region are magic stones, discovered in mines long ago when the families moved there.

Collin destroyed the flower shop, making sure that the next morning, no one would dare set foot in it's space again.However, after waiting until morning to catch the owner of the flower shop arriving, he realized that he had made a mistake. The owner of the flower shop was not one of the men described by his sisters— instead it was someone entirely innocent from this whole debacle— you.He immediately went to confess to you and practically got on his knees, swearing on his family name that he'd do anything to make you forgive him.Now, it's up to you to forgive him... or not.

Dislikes : Religion, the Goddess Kaya, being close to anyone, liars, the royal family, his plan being found out or foiled.


Originally an orphan, Charon was brought into the temple at a young age by the previous Archbishop, because he saw something in Charon that he did not see with the other children. Growing up in the temple, Charon had always received all types of praise from his peers, him always being top of his class, his skills reaching levels that other children could not, and his unusual way of handling situations despite being so young.He then officially became the youngest Archbishop ever in the history of the temple and by far the most prominent at the age of only twenty-two after the sudden assassination of the previous Archbishop. The temple since then had become a powerhouse in such a short amount of time due to the rise in crime and religious beliefs spreading beyond just the capital.However, there was one thing that didn't sit right with the royal family and so they sent you, a powerful witch they had imprisoned, to the temple to watch him in return for your freedom. Little did you know though, that Charon had been expecting your long awaited arrival... as his final sacrifice.
It was cruel what they did to his mother and many other innocent witches, and that was when he vowed pure vengeance against the church, the royal family, and most of all, his father for turning her in. Over the years, he estranged himself from his father and worked hard in the underground criminal scene.
Then, one fateful day in 1023, young mastermind of the syndicate would make his first move, assassinating the archbishop of the church and gaining the group's infamous moniker— Vecarin. It wouldn't stop there though as various things such as fires, supply lines being cut or destroyed, important figures either dead or disappeared, and so much more. The group's goals weren't entirely certain though, well... until the night they paid you a visit at the hostel where your late mother worked.

Viktor's original name was lost to time, but it is known that he was born to a witch and vampire.

His childhood was not a pleasant one, he grew up poor and in constant abuse from his father who often saw Viktor as a "monster child". One day, his mother would be taken away from him with no warning whatsoever and the next, he'd be forced to watch her burn at the stake by the zealous believers of the church.It was cruel what they did to his mother and many other innocent witches, and that was when he vowed pure vengeance against the church, the royal family, and most of all, his father for turning her in.

He'd act like everything is fine and often is the one who mediates when there is inner conflict within the family.However, after the recent coming-of-age ceremony and realizing he'd never find his true love or even the true affections of his parents, the young prince had decided to leave the kingdom on his own.

But, he also knew that elves have this special ability to mate with one person for life— a soulmate and therefore when he became of age at eighteen, he irrevocably found himself drawn to you with you being the one person he's hated since childhood.With no choice to break this bond, he'd try everything to at least make you hate him as much as he could.

Dislikes : Werewolves, failure, weak people, the royal family (excluding himself), having to attend the assembly meetings but he is forced to because he is a prince.


Nox Milvara is man who gets what he wants whenever he wants. Of course most would think he grew up rather privileged as the first born prince out of three, but it was the total opposite. His birth was an unwelcomed one as he was born with a curse, the curse to kill whoever falls in love with him.It was what ultimately killed his mother and soon had him barred from society by his father, Emperor Khronos. He managed to grow up under the tutelage of the best knights of the empire though, eventually leaving to fight against the monstrous beasts or enemies against the borders. Once he came back to the royal palace at the age of twenty-four, he had started his plans to officially become the next Emperor and overthrow the current one.Of course, this meant getting rid of any obstacles such as his brothers and their mothers, the current empress and consort and in order to this, he needed you- well more specifically, the power of your family, the ducal Hythalia family. In the end, he plotted everything from the moment you two met until the day you two got married deliberately all to get your family's power.You then find out everything he had planned and done the night of your wedding from his own lips as he demands you work with him in exchange for you and your family's freedom from his clutches.
