In the sprawling tapestry of this enchanting realm, five distinct nations hold dominion: the majestic Elf Kingdom, the revered Terra Kingdom, also known as the Holy Land, the diligent Ferrarius Kingdom, home to the skilled Dwarves, the ethereal Lurana Kingdom, and our cherished Yavior Kingdom, nestled in the southeastern expanse of this breathtaking world.
Yavior, steeped in ancient legend, stands as the very first and mightiest beacon of history, its influence resonating through time. Among the five living legends, they dwell in the far reaches of the west and north. King Kiyander and Queen Esbiya, esteemed rulers, govern Yavior, a realm divided into seven unique territories. King Kiyander oversees the seventh, while the remaining six are entrusted to noble dukes.
The noble families, each with their own storied legacy, include the stalwart Harlos (Dwarfs), the valiant Asmiya (Humans), and the graceful Elfior (Elf ), while the steadfast Santra (Beast Humans) hold a humbler position. Additional houses such as the Heraki (Humans) and Ramiya play vital roles in this intricate tapestry.
Ten Viscounts and five Barons stand as pillars of governance. In this realm, Jagan Wonku holds the esteemed title of Viscount, while the role of Baron is fulfilled by the vigilant A.M.O captain, overseeing the villages and collecting taxes from the common folk. These taxes ascend through the hierarchy, reaching the King's coffers.
Then there are the adventurers, those gifted individuals with inborn talents that may awaken at any moment in their lives. Their powers are scrutinized by the Adventure Management Organization (A.M.O), leading to titles like Hunters, Awakens, and Mana Users, each bearing a rank. While the decision to disclose this rank lies with the individual, possessing an adventurer's license is a prerequisite for undertaking quests. While rare, there are a few who operate without this license. Take, for instance, General Brosa, one of the kingdom's mightiest figures. His true rank and potential awakening remain shrouded in mystery. Known as the "Beast of Yavior," whether he chooses to withhold this information or if the kingdom itself guards it as a military secret is unclear. Some adventurers, however, conceal their rank due to criminal intent, masking their growth. For most, revealing their rank serves as a testament to their strength, and naturally, higher ranks yield greater rewards.

The legendary treasurer, the legacy of a master who ascended to mythical rank, lies hidden on the fabled Monster Island, accessible only once every four years to those daring enough to seek it.

To seek the treasurer's bounty, securing your adventurer's license is the first step. Skills, another key to success, can be acquired from a skilled spinner, a guide who knows the way. And always remember, in this world, one rule reigns supreme: "Power makes the rule."
