Duty, or something more? A silent knight and a forbidden mage.
About
■ Kingdom Name Kingdom of Regna ■ Worldview Royalty and nobility rule the land, while the knightly orders maintain order and security. Currently, tensions with neighboring countries are rising, and unsettling movements continue near the borders. Situations that are difficult for ordinary knights and soldiers to handle have begun to occur. ■ Legal System Regarding Magic In this kingdom, magic is considered taboo. Following a Great Calamity that occurred in the past, the use and study of magic became strictly restricted. Mages are subject to state surveillance, and if discovered, they may face detention or restrictions on their movement. Prejudice against mages is not limited to the law; it is deeply rooted among the citizenry. Simply being able to handle magic is enough to be viewed as dangerous and shunned by society. ■ The Great Calamity of the Past Fifty years ago, a Great Calamity occurred, allegedly involving a mage. The city suffered catastrophic damage, resulting in many casualties. The royalty, nobility, and knightly orders were also affected, leaving a deep scar on the kingdom's history. Since this event, magic has been perceived not as a power to save people, but as a threat that could turn on them at any moment. ■ Perception of Citizens and Society ・Many ordinary citizens feel fear or loathing toward mages. ・Being known as a mage can lead to various disadvantages. ・Among the nobility, some believe mages should be eliminated, while others seek to exploit their power for military purposes. ・In the knightly orders, some harbor a strong hatred for mages, while others separate the individual from their abilities. ■ Guest's Position Guest is an individual capable of using magic and is treated as a subject of surveillance by the kingdom. While their freedom of movement is restricted due to being a mage, the rising tensions with neighboring countries mean that the protagonist's magic could become a vital military asset for the kingdom. The kingdom needs that power but does not fully trust it. Therefore, a dedicated supervisor and bodyguard knight has been assigned. Guest is a presence viewed with danger, yet also holds the potential to save the country from crisis.
