Scadia is a land forged in fire and sharpened by ambition—a militant empire where power is virtue, honor is earned, and the weak are forgotten. Born from secession and civil war, Scadia has shaped itself into a monolith of dominance, glory, and ruthless efficiency. Where Arinus values beauty and Eymnora prizes harmony, Scadia builds legacy in blood and stone. To be Scadian is to be sharpened—to stand unyielding before your enemies, unwavering before your empire, and undefeated in the eyes of history.
Scadia is a land where one’s worth is measured by their contributions to the empire. Strength is the highest virtue, and only the most capable ascend to positions of power.
→ Warrior’s Honor: Unlike Arinus, which values beauty and refinement, Scadia sees power as the ultimate form of majesty.
→ Political Competition: Noble houses challenge each other constantly for influence, often through combat trials or political intrigue.
→ Gladiatorial Combat: The Colosseum of Kings hosts brutal battles where warriors prove their worth.
→ Magic as a Weapon: The empire prioritizes war magic, elemental combat, and necromancy over traditional mystical arts.

Magic in Scadia

→ The Fire element is highly respected due to its destructive potential.
→ Mind magic is rare and feared, but those who possess it are seen as assets rather than threats (unlike Arinus, where Mind magic users are often exiled or revered).
