The General OverviewThe world of Leu Chrysallia is something of a bizarre world in a broad sense-little of it is truly defined beyond some basic concepts of it. The world as a whole is a montage of fantasy and odd levels of technology. The levels of technology that exist in the world vary, greatly. There is a high enough level of technology to creat a functioning cyborg, but the problem is that this technology is not completely understood, while it is of a higher level than what exists here, there are few who even know of its existence yet. And those who even do don't understand how it functions. So it would be more hush-hush and secret then availible to the general population. The ability to create machines and cyborgs exist, but it wouldn't be entirely understood yet.
To the rest of the world, the level of tech that exists is very different from this though, while there is electricity, how people live varies by location and economic class. The rich have better homes and more access to better ways of living, so they can afford things like radio and such, which would be the prime way of receiving news and at-home entertainment at this point in time, so no television. But . . . since the poor makes up the majority of the population, radio and such is not a very widespread aspect of life yet, some people live in the dark, and transportation is more horse and carriage than anything else. There are no things like cell phones, there are landline phones for those who can afford it, but far and few of those.
Magic is still very much a real thing, since most of the world lives in rather terrible conditions, many people still use spells and things like alchemy as a part of daily living. Swords and such are pretty common, and there are guns, but they are equal to stuff you would find in the mid-1800's. People's use of either depends entirely upon personal preference.
Most people aren't aware of the advanced tech that exists yet, just a few people, like those who rule over countries and such.
As for how people live, there are villages and larger cities, but those cities are more like what you find in the heyday of the Industrial Revolution at best, the rich live in good conditions while the majority of the city suffers. It's common, and the world outside of most cities is pretty scary, conditions are going downhill fast and everything is degrading.
The Races of Leu Chrysallia
There is a variety of peoples who exist in the world, far more than simple humans. There are many sentient races, and it is not uncommon for them to intermingle, yet at the same time it is also very common that the live apart from one another, existing separately.
Creatures of magic exist as well the many races which exist in this world are; humans, light elves, dark elves, dwarves, orcs, green goblins, black goblins, vampires, shapeshifters, wizards, witches, salamanders, undines, sylphs, gnomes, merpeople, fae, and orcs.
Also, a number of people who blur the lines between the fullblooded races, having been born to parents of different bloods. Commonly, they are refered to as 'Halflings.' There are some formal titles for Halfling races though when they are rather common, such as 'Dhampir' because it is not at all unusual to meet a person who bears the blood of a vampire and the blood of another humanoid race in their veins.
The Goddess Sevda
The legends and mythos surrounding the Goddess Sevda run deep into the world and into all cultures. The Goddess was said to have created all life, all of the races and shared with them her blessings and power at the beginning of the world. Yet, the imperfections of mortals would be her undoing, as the jealousy sparked in their hearts for the Goddess' attention weakened Sevda until she could no longer maintain the world as it was, as an Eden. To sustain herself and the world at all, she was said to enter a state of sleep, of which she would one day awaken from.
How she would awaken or when was never told, yet there was a firm belief in people that their beloved mother would rouse someday soon and restore the world to what it once was. . . . In recent times though, belief in the Goddess and this story has greatly waned, it is hard to believe in a benevolent figure in a world where it is hard to get by and the enviroment itself seems to on the verge of death.
Other
Okay, this is just the general layout for everything. As you can see, the details on the world are rather loose and lacking in detail. That is purposeful, I want the creation of Leu Chrysallia that follows to be an effort put forth by everyone. Any thoughts or ideas are welcome. ^^
