ello Ya'll so i'm just dumping some fun information

so as you all know, There are four factions in Mackthor. Recently I've been asked about the leaders religions, and just general information with in each one.
Over the next wile I'll release a couple every now and then. (more or less as i finalize their designs and such <3 )
This is all built off of Lady Kat & Theo's original idea of Mackthor ^^
This is a map drawn by our own Ashen jay, It pretty much depicts all of mackthor.
Map <3
The only "flaw" is that the faction to the right is the east faction and the faction to the left is the west, though the compass says other wise <3


Today we look at the north faction.

Many of you know that the north faction is the largest of the four factions and is by all means the richest.
It is also the epicenter of most of the goings on in daeet life.

If you are a human or some other form of creature that is not native to Mackthor you will most likely find yourself in the North Faction first. this is because of all places the North faction is the one most likely for a portal to appear in.

The Northern Faction is home to what is loosely refereed to as "the Capitol city of Mackthor" Mostly because this is were the large and most well known buildings and features in all of Mackthor are. In Reality each faction has its own capitol area, Its just that the North Faction's is the most prominent.

The architecture of the northern faction;

in the north faction, a common home stead would look much like the one to the left. a simple square or rectangular structure with a private courtyard area within the walls.
The materials used to create the house are as follows;


Wood & Mud
Wood
Wood & Clay
Clay
Soap Stone / Sand stone
Clay Brick
Brick
Granite
Marble
Lava Rock / Obsidian

Wood and mud make up the poorest house holds/ the least important structures; wile in contrast Lava rock/ Obsidian make up the most important.

in addition to this, the more columns a building has the more important it is.

Structures found within the North faction:
Within the city limits

The Great Library;
~ "All things worth knowing end up here" once said the great philosopher Dr. Nillian Bon Longwhisker.
~ and this is a fact that still stands true. Dr. Long whisker once founded the great library on a dream that it would one day grow to become something spectacular. And wouldn't you know the hoarding old crabby daeet's small closet full of ancient books and moldy knowledge would one day grow to the grand marble feature that all scholarly daeets can be found on a good day?
~ the great library is a famous and Central feature to the day to day life of the daeets in the north faction, particularly those who attend the university cleverly located right next door to the great library.

The university;
~ "There is no greater magical power than that of knowledge" ~ Prof. Chillian Clawfoot on the cutting of the opening ribbons.
~ Are you a daeet with a unquenchable thirst for knowledge? Well then step right up. the university is the place in the north faction for you! The daeets university if a place of Magical craft and Knowledge. Some Daeets prefer to master their minds, wile others prefer to master their unique abilities.
~ the university is actually now widely known nor attended out side of the Northern Faction, this may be attributed to the other factions not focusing on mastering the mind and skills of magic as much as the north. who knows.

The orphanage;
~ easily the saddest part of the north faction, the Orphanage can be found down a side road off the main drag. Here many a lost kit can be found looking out at the world around them wondering, no hoping that one day some one who will love them forever will come down the road and take them away never to return.

The Market;
~ A famous feature of the North faction, Though not quite as large as the Grand Bazaar found in the East Factions' mountains. here you can find many exotic and magical wonders from all over Mackthor.

The Palace;
~ quite possibly the most famous land mark the North faction has to offer, the palace is a grand building that encompasses a great deal of the central area of Capitol city in the North faction.
~ Not only does it house the Queen and her family, but also her most trusted and favored subjects and servants. along with a menagerie of animals from all over Mackthor as well as a couple of very vibrant gardens/ courtyards.

Out side the City


The Fighting Circle;
~ A large circularly cut swath of grass that the most boisterous males are trained in the art of fighting and battle strategy. It is not uncommon to hear the defiant roars and yells of new males learning the ancient craft of the fighting circle. In addition to this there are times when a grand tournament is held here, challengers from all over Mackthor will flock to the North Faction then.

Rainbow Valley;
~ A grand area of many multicolored flowers and auras. This is not only a place of great beauty that tourists flock to, but also a place of great magical power were Nobility of all factions gather for special events and ceremonies.

Basic Info:
`The territory is mostly subtle rolling plains and fields broken by the occasional town village or home sett.
`Daeets in the north faction tend to have the following professions; Merchants, Traders, Guards'men', Scholars, Professors/ teachers, dukes/duchesses, Barons/Baronesses, or Mages.
`Daeets found here will tend to be well educated, or well versed in society.
`The north Faction is Ruled By a queen
` Their patron God Is Kyann, god of rams.

The Queen |~

Name: Queen Lilannia
Age: 27 Years
Gender: Female
Mate: None
Children: N/A
Personality:
Lilannia is not the best daeet to be around, she is snark crabby and generally in a bad mood. Yet by some miracle she was blessed with an innate ability to lead. She is very persuasive and tends to be able to get any one over on her side even if it is a bit begrudgingly. Lilannia has been called the Eastener Queen, in commemoration of her odd east faction like traits. She is wild, a bit boastful, and risk taking compared to most other Northerners.

As the rite of the Queen of the Northern faction Lilannia wears piercings and metal jewelry to honor her patron God Kyann. Only she and her crowned successor can bare this honor.

Kyann| ~

|God of Rams | Immoral Embodiment of Earth & brotherhood|

Kyann is the ONLY male God.
Within the daeet world it is uncommon for a male daeet to hold very strong magical power, this is because their power mostly focuses on Physical strength and ability. Kyann's own power is much the same. His element is earth, and he is very much connected to the raw power of his element.

|The power of earth|
Kyann is the Embodiment of earth, yet his power is not just limited to the rocks beneath his feet, Earth encompasses ALL plant life and 'earthen' animals, as well as rock and stone.

|His Mate|
Through out his life, Kyann has only ever taken one mate, though through the ages her name has been lost to time. Many know her as Fen.

| Kyann's Pack |
`Kyann keeps the old tradition of pack life alive. they are a very masculine group ( yes even the females) and none but Kyann seems to use nor exhibit any true magical ability.

`The pack itself lives in a large earthy cavern carved out By Kyann long ago. since he is over twice the size of an average Daeet in his smallest form, The cavern itself is almost as large as the entirety of the North factions capitol city.

` the pack sleeps together in a large warm furry mass in Kyanns "throne room", and you will never find a single of the pack members alone for long.

His most Valued traits ~
Strength
Valor
loyalty
Righteousness
Brotherhood
Power

~ His symbol is the Ram
his sacred animals are: badger, horse, ram/goat, bear.
~ these animals can be found amongst his pack milling and sleeping with the daeets.

WHATTHEWHATTHEWHATTHEWHATTHE
ALREADY? ;A;

MUST
APPLY

Nice spoilers hehe xD

*AERON'S PERSONALITY HAS BEEN SEVERELY EDITED
Well, it's a roleplay, and daeets can have many personalities? ;a;
I hope it's all right.

A e r o n;;
Facts;
>>It's poison coming from his mouth, so when he drips saliva it's kind of...dangerous.
>>He was born in the remote part of the South Faction, but moved to the capital with his sister when he was very young.
His parents are unknown, he and his sister used to live under the protection of some charitable south faction light mages.
He doesn't really care now.
>>He has a talent for magic, for a male daeet, but is insignificant compared to actual great mages.

===============================♥
Winters ago, he had ventured upon the North- the rolling plains and even the renounced Rainbow Valley was bleak and white during those cold times. After days of hard traveling finally he had come to the new Faction. The small daeet, only about 7 months old, blinked in excitement as he saw the walls of the capital city close by. He nuzzled his sister; smaller, and cranky, to tell her that they had arrived.
"We're here,"
The smaller daeet didn't seem to care much, and just moved forward as if wanting nothing but somewhere warm. Their tracks were quickly buried by the ever falling snow.

Once inside the supposed' city limits', they realized they were silghtly away from the capital. They were simply at a round field of snow, which would be grass during other seasons. The male, Aeron, sniffed curiously; buried under the snow were the scent of countless adult males, He wondered what happened her, though his curiosity was soon snuffed out by the cold.

He moved on, expecting his sister to be right behind him- but then when the winds softened, he realized he didn't hear anything from her. Startled and worried, Aeron turned around...his sister was still way back there, huddled in a furry, now white bunch of fur.
He ran back desparately.
"What are you doing?" he yelped.
She didn't reply and just shuddered, refusing to move. When he went behind her and pushed, she managed a few steps before falling in the snow again with a soft groan.
He was too weak to carry her or drag her, and she couldn't move- the young male decided to run as fast as he can to the capital and ask for help from the North Faction daeets he saw there. "Stay here. Please, wait." he said, and then ran forward through the white snow.
Panting, he ran into one of the daeets guarding the walls. He seemed startled and annoyed at the same time. "Can you help me?" he pleaded, then explained the situation. The guard wasn't a heartless daeet, and immediately followed Aeron- he didn't want a daeet kit to die or something, no matter what.
But when they replied the little kit was gone.

Maybe buried under the snow, or moved away by some immense luck- but as much as the others searched, she was nowhere to be found. Aeron blinked in disbelief, but then he had to gradually accept the truth that she was gone.
Shivering in cold and sorrow, the daeet was led into the city. Since he was virtually harmless and tiny, except maybe the poison ability he had with his toxic saliva, he was welcomed to the large and motherly orphanage...without his sister, of course.
It took a long time for him to accept that he had 'killed' her by making the wrong decision.
When he was finally able to go through by clinging onto the thought 'She wouldn't want me to despair. What use is it if I just feel sad all day...' he walked out of the orphange for a simple walk, along with two or three daeets older or younger than him; a cheery little bunch.
He lifted his head for no particular reason, towards the gigantic palace which was not that far away- and saw a few silhouettes on the high walls, passing through to perhaps another building. He squinted in mild interest, wondering if he could make them out. The one in the middle was unusually small...wait, she was simply young. Her turquoise and red sash was still a bit too long for it, but the auburn and white female carried it with dignity. Aeron flicked his ears in surprise when he saw that her sash and tail were adorned with jewerly and piercings.
"Who is she?" he asked, prodding another daeet next to him.
"Why, that's the crown princess, Princess Lilannia." the daeet replied to him with a shrug after making out the small figure in the distance. "She will be our queen one day."
Aeron nodded in thanks, and for some reason, the image of that day remained in his mind clearly.

==================
Time flew. Aeron had grown in the orphanage, which had a great system and motherly love, just like in the South faction. He had a rather cheerful but sometimes pondering personality, and thought about others first- perhaps that trait came from the dormant memory of his younger sister.
Now he was a large and buff daeet, fifteen years old, with bold natural markings on his lustrous brown coat covered with turquoise circles. His size and demeanor might have scared some young kits, but in truth he wasn't mean or careless in any way.
Thanks to the charitable orpahange he could have chances like any other daeet.
And, finally, he was accepted as a mage to the palace- not a very high or important spot, but he was grateful to pay back to the faction who had raised him and given him many chances in life.

--
The coronation.
During one of the ordinary days came the most unexpected news. Princess Lilannia was to be coronated as the new Queen of the north faction.
The news spread out quickly, and most seemed to think it natural and unsurprising, as she was the crown princess and she was over twenty already, and a strong-spirted female daeet who was probably capable of fair ruling. Aeron was startled to hear the news, and came to thought about it more carefully.
It has been many years since he last saw her that day from the orphanage.
He was close to her, in fact, because they were in the same palace- but he never came across her for real since that day. He was honored when he heard he was invited to the coronation, and wondered how much the small daeet had grown. Perhaps now, her sash will suit her size well enough, he thought in amusement.

When finally the event started, Aeron managed to see Lilannia for the first time in many years. She was so different! He blinked in surprise; last time, she had been just a little random daeet. Now she was graceful and held a special kind of dignity that he hadn't seen with any other daeet. He watched her every step, and almost didn't hear the ceremonial words and was a few seconds late for cheering.
Queen Lilannia.
Aeron had to accept that he was, actually in love with her- though she didn't even know him.
He told himself he was being stupid; she was the queen. Besides, maybe it was just her appearance that was beautiful; maybe she was hot-headed and annoying. So he shrugged off thoughts about her and concentrated on his work.


After a few days, the Queen came to the Great Library, where Aeron happened to be searchign through some thick old books for further knowledge in light magic, which he wasn't very good at yet. It was late at night- the moon was just a small crescent, so outside it was pitch black.
He hardly heard her approaching as he was immobilized with the intriguing information on the pages- and then he jumped when he heard her clear her throat.
"Aeron, correct?" the Queen asked with a swerve of her ears.
Aeron meekly nodded, unsure how to react.
He was partially glad she had noticed his existence, but also was frozen to the spot at the same time.
"Aah...the elder mages suggested to appoint you as one of our higher mages- perhaps it was best for me to meet you myself."
She seemed slightly cranky, and Aeron wondered if he had done something wrong. Probably not.
"Follow me to the palace"
the queen stated before turning swiftly and marching out of the library door.
Aeron followed.
As stated before it was a dark, dark night.
Aeron slipped accidentally but managed not to fall down; it was embarassing, though, and the queen noticed.
He wondered if that immediately qualified him as a bad choice, and looked at her. However to his surprise, she simply stifled a laugh.
"I can light the way," she said. She must have seen the light magic book that Aeron had been looking.
He never knew that the queen was a good mage. She had her sash, and she was the queen, but magic..?

The Queen's magic illuminated the area, filling the darkness with bright light- just like sunshine. The colors were clear and bright, and it seemed as if the night was no more- at least, around them,
The Queen seemed amused to see surprise in Aeron's face, and then continued on to the palace without any more words, leaving Aeron following in bewilderment- and a kind of respect, and wonder at why she usually kept her strong abilities secret.
It was a risky question- private, and maybe political- but he wanted to ask it. Badly.
So he did.
The Queen didn't seem offended, but she didn't answer. He regretted asking it in the first place.

They continued to walk- it was a rather long trip to the palace in the semi-darkness- and both of them started to think their own thoughts. Queen Lilannia was thinking about her usual politics, and the relations with the other factions; some of them seemed restless these days. Aeron was wondering about Lilannia's decision about him.
Then a feeble sound was heard, and the Queen didn't notice it- but Aeron did.
With a jolt, he was suddenly reminded of his poor little sister, who had disappeared when she was so small, so fragile..
It was definitely a kit. A very young one at that. He turned around and looked around, trying to pinpoint the sound.
"Aeron?"
"There's a lone kit nearby, my lady, It's probably in danger."

The Queen cocked her head, and didn't say anything.
"We have to help?"
The Queen remained silent and kept looking at him. It was unsettling, but Aeron bolted off and followed the sound alone- it was dark without her highness, but he managed on his scent and hearing.
At last he found the kit.
It was a she- a small, thin girl with a mottled pelt, softly mewling. He took her gently up and continued to run up to the Queen- however, he realized the kit would die if he wasted any more time- and well, Aeron couldn't use his mage abilities, he wasn't skilled yet to warm a tiny thing...
so he veered off and ran to the orphanage.
He would probably get in trouble, leaving the Queen alone in the night. But he continued on, until he reached the large building. When he knocked with his paws, almost immediately the caretakers saw him, then the kit, and then took her safely with a nod of thanks to Aeron.
She was saved.

When Aeron hurried back to where the Queen was, expecting something terrible such as well, unaccepted as a proper mage of course, and maybe being expelled from the palace.
Instead she was surrounded with light, chuckling softly, and gave a slight nod and Aeron before carrying on in a light mood.
She had never looked so beautiful.

THE END-
Not really what I wanted OTL

[doncaster.]

{Meh, I couldn't resist}

>>Areo is the son of September & Max
>>He has one sister, Pixie
>>The green heart on his shoulder is natural
>>Areo is known as 'The Rebellious One'
>>Originally from the West Faction, Areo
relocated with his mother and sister when he
was just 1.
>>Areo left his family at age 3 to join The Darkness
as an Underling, but was quickly promoted to Low Lord.

Golden rays of afternoon sun blazed gloriously over the Entire North Faction. The landscape was practically empty, the air carrying an ominous silence. All was at peace, or at least it would seem that way. At the border of the rainbow valley, a small Troop of Daeets from the Darkness lurked. They were lead by Areo, a bold young male with pale brown fur, tinged with green and startling amber eyes.
The Daeets had come here today with a mission, one that they were not planning on failing. Areo kept his senses alert and his strides as silent as physically possible. The queen's palace stood proudly just a few meters in front of them. One of the other males in Areo's troop let out a low hiss, narrowing his savage green eyes.
"Many long years we've awaited this day" he growled lowly.
Areo gave a small snort and snapped his jaws at the younger Underling, "Save the speech until after we've kidnapped the queen" he snarled harshly, returning his gaze to the marvellous castle that glowed under the gentle rays on the sun. "Okay, so once again for those of you who've forgotten.. You must all split up into groups of two, one group take the east side of the castle, the other take the west. I'm going up to the top floor to get the queen, if there's any trouble, call" he rattled on, going over the plan of attack one last time before the troop would enter the castle. The other Daeets gave nods of approval and all turned back to the dazzling structure.
"All right" muttered Areo "Show time"
The five Daeets tramped forward, pushing open the door with a mighty creak. Two guarding males turned to them, hostilty instantly brimming in their eyes. Two of Areo's troops lunged at them, the other two bolting off to another part of the castle. Areo wasted no time worrying about the small fry and made a beeline for the stairs, thundering up them flawlessly. As he reached the top, he ran past many doors, none looked out of the ordinary, so he proceeded to the next stair case, pounding up them with sheer determintation.
At the top, he was shocked to fnd there was only one door on this floor, guarded by a single male. He smirked slyly as he figured he had located his target. The guard snarled at him and leapt with great force. Areo prepared himself for the attack and countered it, recieving a few good slashes before he finally managed to toss the other male off. He took a few moments to catch his breath before proceeding to the huge double doors. He tossed them open and narrowed his eyes at the lithe figure of the queen as she stood beside her window, staring down at the courtyard, she turned on her heels to look over at Areo, unsure of whether she was afraid or angry.
Areo closed in on her slowly, she kept her gaze locked with his and showed as little fear as she could manage.
"Surprised to see me your Highness?" he teased wickedly
"Hardly, I knew you'd come snooping sooner or later?" she chimed simply.
Areo just rolled his eyes and took another step closer to her. "I hate to break it you, but you're coming with me whether you like it or not" he smirked
"And how would you propose you're going to ma-" her sentence was cut off as Areo surged forward and took a clump of her fur in his jaws and tossed her over his shoulders and onto his back. She snarled in protest, but he ignored her and bounded out of her room, amber eyes narrowed for anyone who would bother to stand in his way, but just as he had expected, no guards came. Probably still being held off by his allies.
"You might want to hold on" he growled over his shoulder, though it was plainly obvious that if she dared let go, he wouldn't hesitate to get her back. Areo gave a mighty howl, alerting his troops that it was time to leave and made a break for a huge stained glass window. He closed his eyes and leapt through it, the piercing sound of shattering glass screeching through the kingdom. Areo landed with a thud a few stories down and got back onto all four feet. He bucked his shoulders slightly to prevent Lilannia from slipping off and bolted towards the border, his acid green hair cascading in front of his eyes.

.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.
An Hour Later
.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.
Night was finally falling after long hours of blazing sunlight. Areo and his troop had slowed their pace, knowing it wouldn't be until late tomorrow that they reached their home where they would hand over Lilannia. Areo glanced back over his shoulder and just as he suspected, his allies were lagging. The deed has begun to take it's toll on the group and they needed to rest now. Areo sighed and diverted slightly off the path to a small circle of boulders where he gently slid Lilannia off his back and laid her beside one of the larger rocks. The queen was peacefully sleeping. Areo's troops spread themselves out and one by one, dropped and fell asleep, but Areo couldn't sleep just yet. The broad Daeet stood a few feet away from the sleeping queen and stared up at the stars. He wondered what he might be doing right now if he had stayed with his mother and Pixie.
"Penny for your thoughts" came the soft voice of Lilannia. Areo turned and saw her head was raised, but she showed no intention of getting up, so he stayed where he was and glanced at her skeptically. "I know all about you Areo" she chimed quietly "and your past"
"You know nothing of me" he growled, though his tone lacked hostility.
"You can't lie to me, I see all and I know all" she whispered. "You were loved, you still are, so why don't you give up this poisonous life and return home?" she questioned.
"Home?" he muttered incredulously
Lilannia softened "I know it was hard on you when you had to leave your father" she said quietly
"Don't speak of my father" he hissed sadly.
Lilannia averted her gaze from him and looked down at the ground "I'm sorry" she mumbled
Areo looked down at her curiously "You don't need to apologize" he muttered and sat down with a heavy sigh. "You really believe they still love me?" he asked with some reluctance to speak of his family.
"I know they do" she assured him "I also believe you still love them, but why you won't return to them is a mystery to me" she admitted.
Areo closed his eyes "Because, I think it'd be easier on everyone if I just stayed in the dark where I belong" he said gingerly.
Lilannia didn't understand why, but she felt deeply sorry for him. It's not easy for any Daeet to have to leave a family member behind, but for some reason, this one seemed to blame himself. She shuffled solemnly closer to him and put her muzzle under his chin, gently lifting it so he would look her in the eyes. "Don't lose sight of your light Areo" she whispered.
He blinked at her, unsure of why she believed in him, but it was comforting in a way, knowing that someone believed in him. The milky moonlight shone down on the creatures and slowly they both fell asleep.
.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.
Lilannia was woken by a scuffling sound that was very close to her ears. The yawned and opened her eyes. The sun hadn't fully risen, but it would soon. She looked around and saw the troops were still asleep, but Areo was standing not too far away, pacing about like he was waiting for something. "Areo?" she quietly called out to him
He pricked his ears and turned to her, making his way over quietly. "Good, you're awake" he whispered and looked back over his shoulder briefly "We have to go" he hissed.
She sighed "Oh, right, you need to hand me over to your leader right?" she remembered the reason she was actually waking up in the middle of nowhere and her heart sank as she thought about everyone back in the kingdom who must be worried sick.
Areo just shook his head "No, I mean, you and I have to leave, back to the North Faction" he pressed quietly, making sure his troops still slept.
Lilannia's eyes widened and her heart sped up. She was unsure whether to be excited or worried, but it didn't matter. Something about their conversation last night had gotten to him and he had changed his mind. She got to her feet and stood beside him.
He smiled down at her and knelt down. "I think it'll be faster this way" he chimed
Lilannia hesitated, but she had no fear of him anymore and something told her she had nothing to fear. She gingerly climbed onto his back and nestled herself in this thick coat.
He smirked and made his way carefully around his troops and back onto the path. Once they were well and truly out of earshot he looked over his shoulder and said simply "Hold on" before breaking into a gentle run, carrying the queen home.
.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.~.*.
The sun had fully risen by the time they returned to the North Faction. Areo walked slowly, earning wary gazes from the citizens. As he stopped outside the castle, shuffled his shoulders gently to wake Lilannia who had earned a few extra winks of sleep. She climbed down from his back and approached the steps, but was confronted by a group of her own guards who shoved past her and knocked Areo to the ground. One had his teeth held closely to his neck and narrowed his eyes at Areo.
"You've a lot of nerve coming back here" it snarled savagely
"Stop!" commanded Lilannia, pushing past her battalion and standing protectively over Areo. "He bought me back here of his own free will! You harm him, you deal with me" she hissed.
The guards backed away reluctantly as Lilannia assisted Areo to his feet and glared at her guards. She walked closely to Areo as they ascended the stairs, knowing nobody would make a move to hurt him if she showed that he was important in some way. She turned to face him.
"Thank you Areo, you're heart won this battle" she mused
He looked at the ground and sighed "So what of me now?" he asked
"This is your home, you stay here and return to your loved ones" she told him.
"Will I see you again?" he asked curiously.
Lilannia smiled "If the fates allow, tomorrow may see us together again" she whispered
Areo nodded "Then I shall eagerly await tomorrow" he murmured.
Lilannia stepped in closer to him and pressed her muzzle against his affectionately "As will I" she said softly.

But they're all pretty easy to find on search. kyuu is off the list though because I prefer her cat-form. :3 There a four others in the archive though.
