HISTORY OF THE SIX LANDS:
Told from an ice region shaman from a large tribe, Idaa.
I busily worked away at some new medicine while listening to children play outside my open tent. The cold helped keep my senses sharp so I rarely closed it. I chuckled as I heard them laughing at one another and then I heard it.
"You will bend to my will magic! I am the great God of Death!"
I smirked to myself. "Looks like these children need a reminder on how it happened..." I grabbed my staff, my bones creaking as I stood. By the great gods, I am beginning to get old... I thought to myself. I slowly shuffled out of the door and called out to them. "Come inside children if you'd like to hear a story." I then turned, knowing all of them would follow, for stories were part of our culture. We lived and breathed them. As I sat down again sure enough all the children sat before me in a semi-circle, looking at me with expectant eyes. I paused for a long moment for dramatic effect before I finally began.
"When the world was first created by the gods, magic was not on just our little continent... oh no! It was out there! No.. it was... woven into every thread and fiber of this world. Into every creature! Magic was life! But not every creature could harness its power, one creature, in particular, was humankind. A creature very rare unto our lands but was and is abundant out there! They were curious as to how an elf could whisper to a sapling and it grows into a tree, or how a dwarf could speak to a piece of coal and have his forge be lit. So one philosopher decided that he would answer this question for humankind.
He spent years studying. He went to various colonies of magical creatures. Asking the rulers of every species he could communicate with to understand how the magic worked. This eventually caught the attention of... The God of Death. For you see the God of Death had no ability to use that power. He had no part in making it and no physical body to access it. He just ruled the underworld and had his little minions. So when he saw this curious philosopher, he got an idea. He waited for years until the philosopher had learned how to harness magic and then he started his process of temptation. He gave his empty promises and deals until he had the philosopher in his grasp and then, he took his body."
I paused for a minute for dramatic effect and I saw the children's eyes go wide. I smiled a bit and continued.
"The philosopher was no more, just an empty shell of the man he once was. But the God of Death soon discovered a serious problem. He couldn't control the magic still, for you see, Magic has a conscious and the God of Death was one that it could not be controled by. Enraged, the god of death began to enslave magical beings and changing their beliefs, making them dark and corrupted, for that was his power, his ability... corruption.
The other gods took quick attention of their brother's behavior and fought back until he was banished into the mortal realm and all the magic was put onto this tiny continent and locked away and hidden from him and the eyes of man, for they were so easily corrupted. And now we have six relics in each region, harnessing the power of the gods to keep the God of Death away. But legend has it that he will find a way into this world and try once more to harness this power, but when that happens a hero from the outside will appear and save us all."
(This RP takes place 300 years before the main character comes into play.)

Societies/GroupsThe Society (Don't have a name yet)
A group in which brings information from the outside world. Members are stationed in different locations on each continent. (This group eventually has the purpose of looking for the hero in the prophecy in the book.) They make sure that the God of Death is in their sights.
The Alore System Aldina's father was a great adventurer. He would come home and tell her stories of kind souls that had saved him. Ever since she had settled down in the capitol since her parent's passing she had set up a system. For a while whenever she saw someone in need and helped them she told them to give her back door three slow knocks should they ever need help again. If she did not answer they were to leave a note saying, "Your service is needed Alore" with their initial. This way the anonymous could keep their identity secret. When she found the note she would wait by her back door at dawn and wait for them to come back. She had managed to turn several lives around with this system. She had given some homeless people a job until they were stable again, had given shelter to sick travelers who couldn't afford help, and had even once hidden a mother and her children from their abusive father and smuggled them to the quieter parts of the city. After that, the word sort of spread on its own among the travelers, adventures and such.
The Ravens Creation of: @sissyd00q A group of hired assassins. You leave a piece of food out on your window ceil with a picture and description of who you want to be taken down and why. The hired assassin's bird will find the food and bring the paper, back to their owner. The assassin will look it over and decide if they want to take the job. If they do they'll send back a note giving a meeting location, there you will decide on the price and what you want as proof that your person/creature of choice was killed. If they need to be taken down in a short time frame keep in mind that they will most likely up the price considerably.

MAGIC (How it works):
Magic is based on elements. The more main elements you bond with; Fire, Earth, Air, and Water, the more sub-elements you can use. Until then you are weak to the opposite element. Some sub-elements, such as ice and energy, were given to certain creatures by the gods.
For beings born without magic abilities, magic is like a person, you have to bond with it and let it trust you in order to use it. The stronger your bond is, the better you can control it.
Everything is made up of magic, you just have to find it. All creatures are born with natural abilities that seem magical but they are abilities that the gods gave them (they can be considered talents on the character sheet.)
