Age of Adventure

Great Veranis

the Second Year of the Vanheimneian Era and the first year of the reign of King Alexander of House Veran

The land of Great Veranis had just come out from a bad year.

This is the Second Year of the Vanheimneian Era and the first year of the reign of King Alexander of House Veran

As Great Veranis is the vassal state of the Vanheim Empire they also follow the Holy Vanheim Empire calendar.

Now after winter ended and fall passed, spring once again came.

And as seasons of chaos had passed, now that things have stabilized all over the Continent, people are moving and plans are being executed all over the Continent.

The chaos has settled a bit, but the dust still covers some of the chaos. This is the beginning of everything

Last year, a great many things happened in the Vilajeri Continent from the east to the west, to the north and south, there was chaos, disorder and panic.

A time of a new era had dawned.

Last year, the adventurers once again returned back to their world.

There is a change in the adventurer’s behaviors and habits that shocked the world and changes the relationship dynamic between the adventurers and the original native of the world.

The people of this world had discovered that the adventurers no longer possesses their infinite ability to revive themselves.

This change should have made the native of this world felt happy.

It has always been the case that the adventurers could always possess a threat to any ruling power relying on their abilities to always revive themselves.

Even though many kingdoms have some spell to banish them from coming again to their world, it is unreasonable to do such magic to so many people.

The reason was because they couldn’t afford to do so. There is the expenditure of resource they need to use to perform such spell and there is also the fact that it taxes their energy.

And the adventurers Is not a small minority. There were millions of them roaming all over the Continent.

Some even sails the Great Sea and others even make new settlements on the many of the unknown island around the Great Sea

But instead of feeling happy knowing that the adventurers could now die, the native of this world felt even more cautious.

The reason is because the adventurer’s behaviors had also changed.

In the past the adventurers would go wander around, killing monsters, saving people and capturing criminals and even executing their own when one of them killed too many people.

They are hotheaded, they are big spenders of silver and gold, they protected the city and while they are a chaotic bunch, they have never set their objective to the royalty and the nobles and was very compliant and like to follow orders and completing request.

Of course, there are some extraordinary adventurers that climb to the top of the hierarchy structure of the world but those adventurer’s places are only in Vanheim and Veva

In that two Empires there were many adventurers in politics and administration of the kingdom.

There is the Chancellor Aero in the Empire of Vanheim and because of his support there is a lot of adventurers in the court of Vanheim.

The previous Emperor also promoted talented people regardless whether they were a native people of the world or the adventurers

Meanwhile on Veva, because the King is an adventurer most of his direct subordinate is also adventurers like the Great General Bart and the Prime Minister Eric.

But what differentiated the progress of adventurers gaining influence and political power in these two empire is their method and their rise to power.

The adventurer’s faction in kingdom governance is only strong in that two places

Most kingdoms in the Vilajeri Continent did not have an adventurer representative in their court.

The reason for such phenomenon is because the rulers of these kingdoms are cautious of these undead beings that could never die unless they employ some certain measures.

The only reason they were not hostile to these strange people was the fact that these kingdoms finds out that these adventurers all have different objectives and motives.

They are rarely united in their opinions and no one could force them to do the things they did not want to do.

They did not mind killing each other if it means completing their mission and their objective and motives sometimes is trite and superficial

They even killed each other for some simple boon and most of them is faithless, as they did not believe in the Gods.

They only pray when it benefits them as for them, they treated the Gods like they have a give and take relationship with each other.

They did not go to the Temple and burn offerings to the Gods of Olympus, they are selfish in their conduct, and they all lack direction and purpose in their life.

Most of them just wanted enough gold to buy more powerful weapons or a more beautiful armor, having no interest in trying to reach the top political power, to govern states or to control armies.

They are a simple kind of people and to the nobles of the other kingdoms, they treated the adventurers like they are warriors for hire.

Before the rise of the Chancellor in Vanheim and the rise of King Zeus in Veva, adventurers were not viewed with positive light in the mind of the nobles.

To them, the adventurers is barbaric in their actions and conduct.

But when these two figures rises, the world experience a new wind of change. Everyone could feel the new direction the wind is blowing

Vanheim and Veva rise as a place for these adventurers to gain political power and that alarmed the other kingdoms.

They saw that these adventurers are not barbarians. Instead they could also be sly, be proficient in managing states and can become so cunning that they could deceive and trick the world

These suspicions and alarm is rarely shown to the adventurers since the many nobles fears that any extreme measures could force these adventurers to unite together.

And these kingdoms and nobles also fears that they would chase the talents they have to other kingdoms.

If the war in Vanheim taught the rulers of the kingdoms anything, it was that a talented person could prop up a kingdom and even forge an Empire.
