Chosen Prompt: [ World Building ] 'Is there a political climate? What’s it like?'
Prompt Response:
One could certainly say there’s a ‘political climate’, though Altan thinks that’s too simple of a term to describe it. It could be called complete and utter chaos, perhaps. With a handful of kingdoms insistent on the idea that magic was a basic evil and needed to be wiped from the planet and another group determined to stop that from happening at all costs and everyone else just kind of bystanders trying to help innocent victims, it’s not exactly the easiest to keep track of. Altan is very firmly on the side of ‘magic is good’, which is not actually a good thing for him, considering where he comes from. He’s from Twilight County and was an officer in the Mages of the Crescent Court. Unfortunately, the leaders of this county and by extent the court died and left their oldest child in charge. Lord Keahi is only sixteen but basically kickstarted the already bristling political sides into a full on war after his sister and parents were killed in a burst of uncontrolled magic. After that, being a mage was not really the safest idea and Altan was forced to flee.
There are rumours about rebellions in Twilight County and other counties and kingdoms on that side of the war. Altan’s goal is really just to get to neutral ground, before he can even consider joining up to something like that. At least there he’d be less at risk from angry governments, considering the war efforts are mostly aimed at pro-magic and anti-magic kingdoms, from each other. Technically, it’s not perfect, because there are groups of furious anti-magic gangs in both neutral and pro kingdoms, and in neutral they don’t do much about them unless it gets dangerous. But it’s the most Altan can hope for, really.
