The Kingdom of Rifal was once a bright and prosperous land, filled with a many beautiful landscapes where a widely diverse popular of humanoids lived. The Kingdom is located on a small continent surrounded by water, similar to Australia. The Kingdom has many prosperous mines and skill guilds. The continent can be found in the southern part of the globe such that about half of the country is covered in snow for most of the year and the other half is filled with beautiful temperate forest, grasslands, and rivers.

30 years ago someone or something cursed the whole Kingdom and everyone in it. The curse has a different affect on everyone it has been named the Cursed Blessing, or the Blessed Curse, depending upon who you ask and what affect it has had on them. Some examples are; the curse let's you read minds now, but when you do all of your other senses are lost for many minutes afterwards, or every night you are forcefully transformed into a werebear and in the morning can't remember anything, but while transformed you can control every action and can decide what you will or won't do. The curse doesn't affect a person until they turn 18 and every child born from a cursed person, or by an uncursed person giving birth in the Rifal are born with the curse as well.

Before the curse 30 years ago magic was not very common but not so rare that the average person would be surprised to see it. It seemed only a select few in the kingdom had the ability to use magic and it was a hot commodity. Everyone wants what they can't have, so many magic users opened up shops in their local town and sold potions, magic items, and spells. It was not uncommon for someone with wealth such as a Duke or a noble to employee a household magic user for all their magic needs.

After the curse there were very mixed reaction about magic. Some became less accepting of those who use magic blaming it for the cause of their cursed blessings, while other became more accepting of magic users knowing that many of them only have magic now due to their cursed blessings. More people are pursing studies of magic for various reasons, the main one being trying to cure the cursed blessings. Even the King and Queen have hire Royal Mage(s) to help discover the cause of and potentially break the curse over the kingdom.

The vast majority of the kingdom still uses outdated technology. Rifal is for the most part using medieval technology such as; candles/lanterns for light sources, horse/ox drawn carriages/carts for transportation, and ink pots and quills for writing. There are a few small pockets of the kingdom that use slightly more updated technologies, but these villages tend to keep to themselves.


There is a wide range of locations on the continent and below is a list of locations that will be updated when needed.




The city of Estican is the capital city for the kingdom of Rifal. It is a highly populated area with many businesses, residential areas, some of the more prestigious guilds, most importantly the home of the royal family. The majority of streets in Estican are paved in stone bricks, aside from some of the residential roads, as well as many of the buildings in the heart of the city being constructed from stone as well. There is a large stone wall separating the castle from the city with two large doors leading into the front courtyard. The city is policed by the royal guards and criminals are placed in the castle dungeon. Many nobleman/noblewoman make their homes just on the outskirts of this bustling city.



Located a couple hours ride by horse outside of Estican City. Most of the lake is surrounded by a forest of oak, maple and evergreens, a portion of the lake has a meadow. There is a small wooden fishing dock on the opposite side of the lake of the meadow. Fishing is common in Lake Silver, small row boats/ canoes can be seen rowing around the lake sometimes, and it is not uncommon to see people playing in the lake.
