Characters[edit]

Social Classes & Dynamics[edit]

Nobles: the Aristocracy[edit]

The magic-using families from generations and generations and generations ago. They are trained in the magic arts from youth, and, as a whole, are capable of grand, magnificent, and often terrible spells.
Marked by a fanatical devotion to keeping the magic bloodlines pure, nobles sit as an aristocracy atop the social food chain. They control the lesser population by sowing fear, they crush their would-be opponents' will with addiction to noble-provided drugs.

Greycoats: the Beloved[edit]

Almost universally liked, Greycoats are noble-condoned healing mages.
These mages function as doctors, of sorts, and care for commoners and domages in their jurisdiction.

Commoners: the Humble Masses[edit]

Commoners aren't gifted with the ability to use magic, and so lead relatively mundane lives when among their own.
They lead simple lives that mostly consist largely of doing what nobles say and not asking questions.

Domages: the Dredges of Society[edit]

Non-noble, non-greycoat magic users.
Because they are not allowed to be trained in magic, they have little finesse in the magic arts.
They're disdained by nobles and commoners alike, though for different reasons. Nobles regard them as a blemish in society; commoners regard them simply as "trouble".
