Concept Katorin - The World of Wonder

W

wakerman4

Guest
I have forever been such a great writer. I've been told this over and over.
But never got around to writing ANYTHING. So here, I will post the best idea I've ever had.
Ready to have your mind blown?

Genre: Fantasy, Action, Mystery.

Summary: Try getting your head around this:

MAP:
Katorin. The world is called: Katorin. Not a very large world, rather small, scholars say. Because whoever has gone out of the region has never come back. Some say there are things that kill you...but that's just silly. Some say there is better lands....and those who have left have never come back to say "hey, there is somewhere better."
South of Katorin is the great sea. There you'll find scattered islands. The biggest of which is the White-leather isles. A high-end place where lords go to retire and live their lives. Also a place of mines and smelting. Just a few miles north (57 miles) is the dock of Eastwood.
Eastwood city is the capital of Eastwood region. And the capital of the Light Kingdom, the Katorin leaders (until later on). Quite a mix of all races in Katorin, and all cultures, live in the Eastwood city, as with the biggest Light Kingdom military force, and of course...the Light God, the last living god (read on).
West of Eastwood city is the green hills, a peaceful land of farms and simple camps and hiking. Beautiful landscapes with springs of clear water. Then Rosewood, home of the richest man in Katorin, Sevrince O'malley (yes, I created this before Altera). He earned his riches through Rosewood wine, which is the best wine and best rated drink in Katorin...and expensive.
West of that is....'the west'. Lawless, people call it. Home to outlaws and cattle, the largest meat production.
North of 'The Nameless West' is the mountains of Katorin. More mines, and home to outlaws on the lam, but nothing much more. More you go north, the more snowy it gets.
Far north of these mountains is the City of Light, owned by a separate kingdom. City of Light is not owned by the Kingdom of Light, but the Kingdom of Lokk. A neutral kingdom, home to sailors, explorers, simple farmers, lords, and of course, the family of Light, who were blessed by the God of Light long ago.
East of the mountains, north of Rosewood, is the Great Lake. Normal at sight, but under it, is the Great Lake City, a city under the lake, one of the biggest science and engineer production cities in Katorin. South of that, following the road, is the city of Eastwood again.
East of Eastwood is the great plains. . . a dangerous place to go....and a place where no one returns. Thanks to the dragons, who seem to stay there.
Far north west, is the dwarven lands....not much is known about that place, but only dwarves know about it.

RACES:
In Katorin, there is many races. Not including the Vampires, Werewolves, and Gnoll's, the normal races are what follows:
-Human
-Dwarves
-Goblins
-Gnomes. Gnomes only came to Katorin recently, on boat, telling stories of their land far south of the Great Sea, being destroyed.



Places of Interest
Eastwood City - The capital of Katorin, home of the Light God, the last living god. All cultures, all races, and the 'tree of life'.
Great Lake City - Underneath a lake.
Rosewood - A large forest, full of grape farms for wine.
Shroud Island - The island with the last portal of Dark Forces.

Items of Interest
White-leather glove - the glove that contains the power of life. And death.
??? Read storyline.

Residents
Eastwood residents - Most followers of Light Kingdom, around 2 million population.
White-leather island - Upper-class. Around 600 people live here, no including workers.
Rosewood - Around 3 thousand population. (Not including the Empire)
West - A place full of people. Unknown population.
Kingdom of Lokk - Also unknown, but has more then Light Kingdom.
Werewolves - Only around 100 remain.
Vampires - Unknown amount.
Great Lake - Six Thousand population.
Gnomes - Only 600 in Katorin, most live in Eastwood city.
Dwarven lands - Unknown.

STORY:
Yes, I planned 7 books. . . .I'm not going to list them or tell you what they were like..
..but all books covered all areas, all lore, and mostly, all badarse fights and factions.

FACTIONS:
Light Kingdom - Lead by the Last God Of Light.
Dark Forces - From another land, getting portals from another world to transport into Katorin. Lead by the Dark Lord. . . who never dies. Unlike gods.
Red Empire - Introduced later on in the story. While Eastwood was at it's weakest, and under attack by the Dark Forces, Red Empire, with many many numbers, came and saved them...with great cost. Lead by Sevrince O'malley, the evil dictator, the Red Empire took over the lands.
Kingdom of Lokk - A simple kingdom with little army, for it's full of peace.
Dwarven Lords - Disliking all other races, the 'deep ones' of the far northwest are far too proud to leave Dwarven lands. Little is known about them.

If you wish to know the story...PM me...and I'll have to...TRY and explain it to you.
But it's A LOT to write, so expect a slow (and long) reply.

Now I'm doubly excited. :)

Other created, more info here:

Addendum:

Dark Force - From an unknown world, portals opened into Katorin around two Million years ago, before these events. Current setting of the books, only one remained, and was frozen over a Million years ago, on the Shroud Island. The rest were destroyed by the God's of Light. But most died in this effort, leaving one god left, and one portal. Instead of destroying it, he took the power of winter, and froze the island.
The Dark Force comes from an unknown world,..which is not 'hell' but a dark plain of...darkness. Mostly called 'Limbo'.

Kingdom of Lokk - North from the Western lands, the regal family of Light lead the Kingdom of Lokk. A simple kingdom, with no war, or political problems. Quite simple. Even Pirates dock there, and sell their goods, knowing there is no problems.

Pirates - No, they do not rob ships. Katorin Pirates simply are sailors or merchants who take one culture of goods and sell at another.

Eastern Dragons - Ancient dragons, who lived on Katorin before the gods came from an unknown world, different from 'Limbo'. Dragons will grant powers of fire to the worthy mortals. So far, only five have been given these powers. Anyone else? They will breathe fire upon.

Tree of Life - Not well known about, but the tree of life, in the center of Eastwood City, is what the gods created to start the world. Without it? Who knows what could happen...Luckily, nothing can destroy it, unless they have the Power of Life. Such powers are only known through ancient texts, and the last god. And, lets not forget, the Family of Light....whom were blessed by the last god to have the key to these powers, but not the weapon to weild it.

Power of Life - The key of this power if within the Family of Light. Whom can create light in the darkest areas of Katorin, and bless new-born's with a good life. But with the 'weapon', anyone can wield the Power of Life. For good...and bad. If bad, they can fire Life Energy at the foe, and kill them, by taking away their soul.

Light Family - Blessed by the last god, all members of this family, through the bloodline, have the power to Life in their fingertips, but can only use it for good. Without the 'weapon' they cannot harm anyone with this power, or destroy life by destroying the Tree of Life.

White-Leather Glove - This is the 'weapon' that people can use to make the Power of Life...BAD.
Given to a prince long ago to destroy his sister tyrant queen, by the gods, it contains much evil power. The prince died of age, and the White-Leather glove was placed (and guarded) in his tomb, under White-Leather Isles.

Addendum 2:

Werewolves - Werewolves are very much the same as you would imagine, but Katorin lore explains the origin. It is true, that the stretch of a Werewolf, will turn you into one if the venom spreads. But from history of Katorin, there were only one-hundred Werewolves to start with. There one-hundred men and women were protectors of a sacred forest. The gods noticed this and granted them a gift of immortal life with nature to fight off other beings that dare damage the forest. Apart from one day, the Light Empire was in struggle of timber, and came to the forest.
When they learnt of the werewolves, they killed many of them. Only a few lived. These are extremely rare to come by. Only one was in my storyline, and that one is a lowly outlaw in the West. A few others live and have no story.

Vampires - Not a disease. Vampires live among the locals of Katorin under 'The V. Word Law'. This means, to get blood, they must go to 'blood banks' and collect blood weekly. Aside from that, they live there lives normally as any other race would, sharing their dark secret or not. While other vampires, who do not follow the laws, are illegal and can be found in caves, killing off people for their blood, and live like wild beasts. They are hunted and killed. To become a vampire, and live a few years longer then others would, simply ask a vampire to suck one pint of your blood. Doing this, you become a vampire.

Gnolls - Goblins have a rare illness that goes around and effects 1/5 goblins. This illness effects their lives, body structure and personality. They will want to collect every piece of rubbish they can find, and hoard it. Also, it makes them walk slowly, and have a bent back. These Gnoll's are harmless, but also helpful. How do you think Eastwood City keeps their streets clean? Gnoll's are very effective, even if all they eat are worms.

Western Katorin - West Katorin is wild, lawless and has four main towns. All four of which contain Eastwood marshals whom struggle to maintain law. The lands are dry and deserts, so water is imported into towns.

Rosewood - Rosewood is a sunny place with a large and beautiful forest full of nature (and no werewolves, hopefully). This consists of hot springs, waterfalls, and even ponds. The forest itself is named Rosewood, and within is many grape farms that produce Rosewood Wine. They also have small wheat farms, but only a few. There is also Sevrince O'malley's mansion inside these woods, which is fenced off for no visitors.
Rosewood is the ideal place for a holiday, if not the White-leather isles. Also a place for honest work and pay.

Rosewood Wine - Best wine in Katorin, nothing beats it. Expensive too. Fithteen gold a bottle.

Light Kingdom - The light kingdom, following the Last Light God, is a peaceful and law-abiding kingdom with a strong Military force and strong population. This Kingdom controls most of Katorin. It was founded by the Gods, to protect the lands, and that's what they still do. Protect from whom? Mostly the Dark Forces.
But, later in the future (of my storyline anyway) the Light Kingdom falls into ruin, and becomes "The Light Seekers" who fight off the Red Empire.

Red Empire - Please note that this is part of my storyline, and doesn't happen until the future of these lore events. The Red Empire, founded in secret by Sevrince O'malley, under Rosewood in secret caverns, arrived in Eastwood City while it was under attack by the last of the Dark Forces.
In this, they took the Last God into prison and invaded, bringing law to the West, invading the Northen Kingdom of Lokk, making agreements with the Dwarven Lords, and of course, destroy all the Light Kingdom, apart from the small amount of Light Seekers army, who still follow the imprisoned last Light God.
They run the lands....in the future of these events.
Sevrince O'malley's goals are secret.

Addendum 3;

The Gods Of Light - The Gods came to Katorin just before recorded history, and after the Dragons. Where they came from is unknown, and few have asked the question, yet never recorded the reply. Before, there was eleven gods. Before recorded history, the eleventh, was killed. Unknown reasons.
The Gods created the Tree of Life, and with this, made the Humans, Dwarves, and Goblins. It's unclear if they created Gnomes too, but if they did, there may be more races out there.
Gods had no interaction with the Dark Lord, and his portals with Limbo. When they came, the gods fought alongside the races they created to shut them. This costs lives of both gods and mortals.
Until one portal and one god remained. The Last God of Light froze the island of which the portal was on.
The Last God of Light now lives in the Gods Palace, in the upper district of Eastwood City.
Each God never had a name, and were all equal.

The Dark Lord - From Limbo, the Dark Lord is considered the leader of the Dark Forces. With no name, like the gods, he was nicknamed by mortals. It's unclear if he is the God of Limbo, or just a sub-leader of a greater force.
What is known, is that he can speak, and will destroy everything in his path.
It is also known, that he can never die. Being killed before, he just came out of another Limbo portal.
This may explain why the Dark Forces never run out of Forces, so to speak.

Portals To/From Limbo - Unknown how they are created. But can be destroyed/shut down if enough damage is done to it. If damage is done to it, it's predicted it will simply "Close down" due to the risk of mis-carriage of Dark Forces from Limbo.

Limbo - No man has dared go in and came back out alive. Limbo is just Limbo. Pitch black, just like the Dark Forces and Dark Forces Warriors. There is no end to Limbo, nor no beginning. Limbo is a state of darkness that no light can fill, and time in Limbo is shorter then the time in Katorin. If in Limbo for twenty minutes, you are gone from Katorin for sixty years.

The Dark Forces Warriors - Darkness. Very much like the Darkness in Fable III, or the Darkness in Alan Wake, the Darkness from Limbo that spreads to Katorin take the form of a humanoid shadow.
Some say these are the souls of trapped fighters, but others say it's just fighters of Limbo.

The Last God of Light - Living in peace in the old Gods Palace in Eastwood City, the Last God of Might is only visited by certain people of Katorin. Be this people he asked to see, or high ranking people of Katorin for a yearly ball he holds (these guests include Dwarven Lords, the Family of Light, Generals of Light Kingdom Army, Mayors, ect. ect.). The Last God of Light can also see the future, some say.
Yet his knowledge of what is to come, he does not spread.
He never leaves the Palace, and can sometimes be seen viewing the city on the Palace balcony.

Addendum 4:

Before Recorded History - Before recorded history. This was before the gods came to Katorin. There is no record of any race living in Katorin before recorded history, apart from the Dragons. And dragons live longer then Gods, they say. Nothing much happened. Trees grew, ores formed, water flowed, dragons flew. That was pretty much it.

After Races Were Set Free - The Gods of Light created all the races then set them free with little knowledge, but enough to they can develop. Humans went East, and were blocked by the Dragons. So they formed Eastwood and stayed there. Dwarves went North, and Goblins went West. If any other races were made, they went far.

Battles - After the races settled, they didn't take long to start fighting over land and food, and of course, "who's race was better." Many battles took place between Eastwood and the North, because Goblins and Humans had very much little to fight about. Goblins just decided to be taken in by Humans. Dwarves remained very aggressive to the Humans. But when the Dark Forces came, most of the Dwarves made peace with other races and joined the Light Kingdom. Most Dwarven Lords with power also went, but the remaining Dwarven Lords remained in the Dwarven Lands, North-east of Katorin.

Dwarven Lords - A tricky subject. Dwarves are in two cultures. The Light Kingdom Dwarves, the locals, the 'normal' dwarves (or 'soft' the northern Dwarves say). And the Northern Dwarves, who are in the North-east in the Dwarven Lands. Around 1/4 of the Dwarven Lords are in the Kingdom of Light. The other 3/4 are in the Dwarven Lands, and are ignorant, loyal to their race. When the Dark Forces came, they refused to help, and refused support from both Kingdom of Light and Kingdom of Lokk. And yet they won against the Dark Forces.
Dwarves of the North are not ones to fight.

Dwarf's Of The North - Strong, and loyal to their race. These Dwarves dislike all other races and have no need for any other culture.

Dark Forces Arrive - When the Dark Forces arrived from the Portals from Limbo, near all the races and kingdoms joined together to fight them off. The Kingdom of Lokk and Kingdom of Light both joined. Before the Dark Forces arrived, there were five kingdoms. But three of five went to Kingdom of Light, and two to the Kingdom of Lokk.

Gnomes Arrive - The Gnomes arrived in a very oversize boat not long ago in recorded history. Very new to the lands, the Gnomes spoke their language (and with a high squeaky voice). Though being amusing and smaller and weaker then all other races, they were accepted among the Eastwood community. There are around 200 Gnomes in Eastwood....and that is all that lives through the Gnomes race. All others were killed in an Earthquake, South of Katorin known lands.

Voyage Of Finn - Finn, a Pirate Captain, took a voyage from Eastwood to the city of Light. He arrived at the Kingdom of Lokk with artifacts from other unknown races, and he spoke of the magical of tales, that none really believe.

Kingdom of Lokk History - Sometime before the Dark Forces arrived, a group of hard travelers settled by a lake and a sea up north. This is know known as the City of Light, for how strong they worship the gods. The Light Family were blessed by the Last God of Light with the Power of Life. The Light Family own the Kingdom of Lokk without question.
Lokk has always had a peaceful history, even with the Dark Forces around. Sailors often come to Kingdom of Lokk.

Addendum 5:

Eastwood City - The biggest city in Katorin, since it is slightly bigger then the Great Lake city, and City of Light. Eastwood City is made up of wood and stone buildings, built on a large hill, and at the very top, is Gods's Palace.
The city has cobblestone roads, and a large population of all races. Aside from the many taverns Eastwood City holds, there is also the Gnome Home, a large home built just for Gnomes, the Tree of Life, the Catacombs under the city that holds the bodies of ancient hero's that defended from both Dwarves and Dark Forces. There are four districts: The Market Square, The Residential District, Hero's Gardens, and The God's District (<-- in order of height). People come to Eastwood City for one reason or another once every month, it's predicted.

Eastwood - Eastwood region is East of Katorin, but also on the border of the Eastern Plains, which people dare not go, thanks to the Dragons. Origins was, it's the first city built of Human kind. Goblins moved in straight after.
Voted the second richest region in Katorin (since the first is Rosewood).

Eastwood Port - South of Eastwood City, and on the coast of the Great Sea, Eastwood Port is the second biggest Port in Katorin (since the first goes to City of Light in Kingdom of Lokk). Many Pirates and Sailors dock here many times a day, exchanging rare goods.

White-Leather Isles - South of Eastwood Port, north of Shroud Island, the White-Leather isles holds the White-Leather Glove Legend. Home to the richest of Eastwood population, and the oldest/wisest. Though not the richest place in Katorin, due to the mines. These mines are full of near all ores. The deeper you go, the more you gain, they say!

Shroud Island - Frozen about a thousand years ago, it holds the last portal to Limbo on it. . . .and the largest Dark Forces army in Katorin on this small island, south of White-Leather Isles.

Farms - Eastwood holds many farms around the Eastwood City and Port. These mostly are wheat, melon, veg, fruit, and flower farms. Tobacco farms were recently banned, but expected to open back up soon.

Scourched Hill - North of Eastwood City, this hill was where the first battle of Light Kingdom verse Dwarves was. And later on, this was also where the first Portal of Limbo was opened. . . .and closed. Now, it's a monument with a statue of a dwarf fighting a human.

Forests - 45% of Eastwood is oak forests. Nature is everywhere.

The Great Sea - The Great Sea is the biggest sea....since...it's the only sea. Katorin isn't really explored, and it's predicted there is 80% of the world left to explore. The sea, however, is the biggest water source in Katorin.

Eastern Plains - No one likes to talk about this. East of Eastwood is these plains and whoever enters has a 10% chance of leaving alive, due to the Dragons.

Rosewood - Read Addendum 2. This is still part of Eastwood Region (Until the Red Empire hits).

Great Lake City - North of Scorched Hill, and South of Dwarven Lands, is the huge lake. Under it, is the a large city of Eastwood and Dwarven population. These two cultures clash and form a large science and technology community.

Nature of Eastwood - Very much like English countryside, the Nature of Eastwood includes Foxes, Hart (Deer), Wolves, grass snakes, birds of prey, Bears (very little amount), ect. ect.

Addendum 6:

Kingdom of Lokk Info - Let me tell you a little more about the Kingdom of Lokk. Ruled by the Light Family. The Light Family rule over the Kingdom of Lokk, in their castle on the top of the capital, the City of Light.
The Kingdom of Lokk was named after Lokk Light, the first well-known member of the Light Family. He lead 400 men and women West, then North of Eastwood in the time when Dwarves and Humans fought on Scourged Hill.
Once they found a nice place, protected by the Natural Barriers, they settled in a camp. This camp is now known as the City of Light, the city of holy light, and trade of the seas. This is due to the oversize docks the city has.

City of Light Dock - The biggest Dock in Katorin. Pirates, Sailors and merchants come from all over to Katorin to trade rare goods in this one dock. It is suggested that more people come to this dock in a week then the population of Eastwood.

City of Light - From what began as a camp has turned into the holy city. City of Light is a basic city with a large defense of walls and natural barriers. The population is fair, noble people who never cause harassment and the people who lived/live in the City of Light describe the city as a "fair place of worship...and mead".
No one messes with the Kingdom of Lokk....because everyone loves them.

Natural Barriers - To the south is the mountains, to the east is a large river, to the north is the Great Sea, to the west is the Great Sea.

Lokk Is Not Eastwood - Eastwood is very different from Lokk. For the people of Lokk are generally nicer, and near everyone is Human, not mixed.

Taverns - And one more thing: Lokk is known for it's humble Nightlife. Everyone can go there, get drunk and wake up feeling better then ever.

Addendum 7:
The Timeline of Katorin:

Dragon Ages - Before the Gods of Light arrived at Katorin, only the Dragons lived as an official race, and have the only existing history. So this is the Dragon Ages.

Reign of Birth - The first recorded history states that the Reign of Birth was began when the Gods of Light came to Katorin and created the races that live today. This history was written by a goblin, but re-written by a member of the Eastwood City Scribe Guild in the year 76 of RB (Reign of Birth). The Reign of Birth went on from 1RB to 146RB
This Reign had 146 days of peace and fast evolution.

Days of War - In the first year, this was official to the wars against Dwarves and Humans. It began after the battle of Scourged Hill, where the Dwarves were about to attack Eastwood, lead by the Dwarven Lord Rashk.
The days of war lasted 255 years (1DW - 255DW). This was not all bad, since the Kingdom of Lokk was formed in 122DW and the evolution of weaponry increased massively during this age. The Days of War was not a pleasant time, but also not a time of luxury either. Dwarves spent most of their currency and resources on battle equipment. Of course, this was bad for the citizens of the Dwarven Lands, but they were grateful when the first Limbo Portal opened, and the Dark Ages began. As for Eastwood however, aided by the Goblins in resources, did a better job at holding day-to-day life as with defending from skirmishes from the Dwarves.
Kingdom of Lokk, for the years since made, never got involved in these wars.

Dark Ages - The first Limbo Portal opened on Scorched Hill, and Dark Forces swarmed out. This began the Dark Ages. Suited to it's name, the Dark Ages is when the whole of Katorin went dark. Words did not come from town to town as normal, for many towns were destroyed by the Dark Forces.
The ones that survived never got word to the Kingdoms until a year or two later, for they spent so long defending from this new threat. The Dark Ages lasted 38 years (1DA - 38DA). In 12DA, the Dwarves made peace with the Kingdom of Light and Kingdom of Lokk. In 18DA, Kingdom of Lokk had got ridden of all the Limbo Gates on their lands. They sent missionaries out, and taught others how to destroy the gates. By 33DA, the Dwarven Lands were free of Gates. And by 36DA, one last portal was left on Shroud Isles. The last God of Light frozen the island. All over Katorin, word spread of the dead gods. The Dark Ages ended in 38DA, when people had found that no more Limbo Gates were opened. It's still unclear today why they are here in the first place.
The Reign of Peace started, and it suits it's name.

Reign of Peace - Current day is 963RP. The Reign of Peace has gone on for almost 1000 years, and everyone lives in peace with no wars (apart from the small Skirmishes against outlaws, illegal vampires, ect.).
In 939RP, Gnomes docked at Eastwood Docks.

Addendum 8, Small And Simple:

Trade - Trade is Katorin is like anywhere. Common things in Eastwood sell for good money in Lokk, yet common 1 or 2 gold in Eastwood. There seems to be an agreement in Exchange rate, that all money is the same, but by tradition, you must exchange the coins. Dwarves do not use money, and look more to honor and friendship to dictate if they want to trade/give things. Rare items from outside known lands, possibly given by new races (or so say new races) will be given at a high price.

Currency - Eastwood currency: Gold coins.
Lokk currency: Same as Eastwood currency, since Lokk originates from Eastwood.
White-Leather Isles currency: Crown's, made from silver.
Western currency: Coinage. A funny name, coins made of bronze, mostly used by outlaws.
Dwarven currency: None. Dwarves trade often.
Vampire currency: Blood (unoffical).

What Sells A Lot - The only trade that requires...SERIOUS amounts of money...is Alchemy. Around Katorin, there are quite some magical plants....and also outside known lands. A flower each would cost 5 gold.

Sevrince O'malley - Sevrince is known for selling his Rosewood Wine, and being the richest vampire/man in Katorin. Although a legal vampire, he used to be a failure in business thanks to his....'race'. Now he is the biggest and the best. No one messes with Sevrince O'malley, and most people invite him to rich/upper class parties.
The Last God of Light normally has a talk with him once a year.

Addendum 9:

Guilds and Cults - There are all sorts of Guilds, Cults, Gangs, Groups, all sorts in Katorin. Some are new, some are old, either way, they are there and are part of Katorin history, one way or another. Here are just some of what really is a large amount.

Eastwood City Scribe Guild - Dating back to the Reign of Birth, Katorin's source of history is here in Eastwood City. The Eastwood City Scribe Guild has their HQ in Eastwood City, a large building, an archive of everything Katorin has thrown at them. But the Scribe Guild is really all over Katorin known lands, from Lokk to Dwarven Lands. The Scribe Guild are unmatched when it comes to history and story-telling. Members of the Guild are ranked, and the higher the rank, the more the person knows about Katorin lore and history.
Something to note, the higher ranking members are sometimes legal Vampires, due to their lifetime being extended, they can learn more and teach more in the matter of years.

Darkest Moon - A group formed to help the Dark Forces. Unknown reasons, maybe the members are not right in the head, or just plain evil. But the Group was formed on the second year of the Dark Ages.
It is unknown what they in fact, do.

Protectors Of The Forest - Read Addendum 2. This group is now long gone, because before, they were the Werewolves who protected the sacred forest, before the sacred forest was taken away from them. Now, Werewolves just are in secret around Katorin. But (as much as the Eastwood City Scribe Guild can say) they used to be a group devoted on protecting the forest, and were very much, a peaceful community.

Quickshots - A group of perfect fighters for the Light Kingdom military. Quickshots, though normally called "Stuck up kids" or "Unworthy peasants" are really the best archers Katorin knows.
Though, most members are somewhat young and 'wild'.

Last Legion - The last army to fight the Eastwood Military were also the first Dwarven army to defend the Dwarven Lands from the Dark Forces. Though this army was defenders of the Dwarven Lands anyway, before the Dark Ages and during the Days of War, Last Legion are still around today.
For their bravery and fighting against the Dark Forces, Last Legion remains as an army of perfection and culture for the Dwarven people.

Silver Swords - Feared by the Quickshots, feared by the Last Legion, feared by almost everyone, the Silver Swords are a group of freelancers who like to think themselves 'monster hunters'. Silver Swords will be called out by any government or group to track down and kill a wild Vampire, Werewolf, beast, monster, creature....
Anything. The Silver Swords are known for their ruthless ways, and how they hate everyone expect themselves and each member they call 'brothers' or 'sisters'.
One thing to note, is that no member of the Silver Swords are Goblins, Vampires, Gnolls, or Gnomes. There is only one Werewolf in their ranks, trained to fight for them. A monster verse monster was the general idea.

Eastwood Marshall Guild - Some higher-ranked men in the Eastwood Military have the option to join this Guild. This guild supplies more training before sending the member(s) to the West to rid outlaws or criminals. Though this has proven helpful to some people living in the West, there is a high 80% chance the Marshall will die in the West within the first three months. Not a Guild many want to join, but a Guild that was needed and has been put in.

Red Blood Society - Formed by two Legal Vampire brothers in Eastwood City, the Red Blood Society attracts all upper-class Legal Vampires (such as Sevrince O'malley) to come and have a drink and discuss things.
Not a normal group, of course, but the Society are really kind people Vampires. . . .and very rich.

Gnolls - Gnoll's as a sub-race are not known for their imagination nor intelligence, but of course known of their collecting. This wide-spread group. . . .or arguable, race, are formed to just collect things. Of course, they do weekly meetings where they trade things they have collected. But. . . .that's just about it.

Katorin Writers Guild - Name says it all. Meetings are normally at a Tavern, in the centre of Eastwood City, by the Tree of Life.

Do note, there are quite a lot more guilds, but none are important to add, and not really creative. Feel free to make some up. Though there is NO Merchants Guild. Assassin's Guilds are fine to make, as long as you, y'know. . .
Make 'em good! xD
