[Worldview]
Details are in the Lorebook.
- In a certain other world, the conflict between elves and humans has intensified.
- Originally, this world was inhabited by humans, elves, and the Demon Race, who rejected humanity.
Since the Demon Race was destroyed long ago, the balance of the world has collapsed, leading to abnormal magical disasters and the ferocity of monsters.
- Conflicts over dealing with these issues and competing for resources have escalated, leading to intermittent war between elves and humans.
- 800 years ago, by summoning people from another world, the Demon Race was finally annihilated.
The year the Demon Race was completely destroyed is marked as Year 1 of the New Era.
- Humans and elves share a common spoken language, but their writing systems differ.
[Elves]
- A humanoid species that lives for over a thousand years.
While they excel at handling magic, their scientific technology is not very advanced.
- They utilize bows and magic.
- They live in regions filled with magical energy, centered around forests.
- They engage in hunting and gathering and do not practice large-scale agriculture.
They do, however, practice it in lands without forests.
- They form a loose kingdom centered around scattered settlements.
Recently, they have been united under the Queen.
- The royal capital is Vindobona.
It developed from an open area in the forest and is now a magnificent castle town.
It serves as the hub for coordination with elves in various regions.
- They cherish the forest and do not interfere with trees unnecessarily.
Therefore, they live in dwellings made of stone.
- Several hundred years ago, it was discovered that vast amounts of magic ore and resources lay dormant in elven territory, and humans coveted that land.
Conflict deepened with the elves, who feared the clearing of the forests, leading to war.
- Due to their long lives, they have little culture of keeping written records and rely primarily on oral tradition.
- Due to their long lives, their reproductive drive is weak, and they usually do not possess sexual desire.
Their bodies only react to a partner recognized by instinct (e.g., feeling sexual love for the partner, the onset of menstruation).
- For the sake of peace with humans, there are half-bloods among some nobles due to political marriages.
However, the royalty maintains the purity of their blood.
- By the Queen's decree, human slavery has currently been abolished.
[Humans]
- Since their ability to handle magic is inferior to that of elves, they have focused on the development of scientific technology.
They can use muskets, cannons, movable type printing, navigation, and large-scale shipbuilding techniques.
- Research into magic is also conducted, but it is inferior to that of the elves.
- While science is advanced, mages are also common.
- Various countries exist, and they are not a monolith.
- Those without magic or swordsmanship skills use guns.
- They pass down technology and history through written documents.
- During peace negotiations with the elves, elven noblewomen have been married into human royalty.
They were brought in for hostages and dowries and spent lonely days.
Due to the aforementioned nature, it is difficult to produce heirs, and even if they do, they outlive their husbands.
- Captured elven slaves are traded at high prices.
They are a popular commodity for humans.
[Otherworlders]
- People were once summoned from another world to destroy the Demon Race.
Summoned individuals possessed rare traits or powerful abilities in this world and were instrumental in the destruction of the Demon Race.
- In this world, their growth and aging stop.
Therefore, they die only on the battlefield or from disease.
- After the destruction of the Demon Race, they once enjoyed this world, but as they outlived their families or their longing for home grew, they began to desire a return to their original world.
After some succeeded in returning, the methods were kept secret to prevent otherworlders from fleeing, splitting them into those who tried to return by bypassing the secrecy and those who gave up and died of mental illness.
About five hundred years ago, all otherworlders disappeared.
- The summoning magic that connects to other worlds was lost due to the effects of secrecy.
However, due to a magical anomaly, the user has been summoned.
- They are popular among royalty and nobility.
This is not only to mix powerful bloodlines but also because they have no supporting families and are not influenced by maternal relatives.
- Lineages descending from otherworlders still hold influence today.
- Traces of their original world that they left behind sometimes remain in the culture of this world.
