Beginner’s guide to the Royalty AU
Ok, so my brain made this world dumb complex and weird and i dont even know why wtf- SO it’s my moral duty to share it bc i have no use for this shit except to post it :) I don’t want to overwhelm you (YET) with extremely specific details so i’ll make a Super Quick Rundown of the very basics of how everything works in The Royalty AU uNiVERsE.
Let’s clear this up first bc a lot of the “LoGiC” of the world is deeply connected to this subject. Right now you need to know about the two main magical beings of the story: Nymphs & Humans.
Nymphs are spirits of nature and have powers related to their surroundings and elements (ex: floral nymphs live in flower fields and ice nymphs can control ice). On the other hand, Humans get their powers from “Quirks”, a weird phenomena that cut their links with nature and gave them individual and unique abilities.
Now a days most of the population is mixed blood since nymphs and humans have lived together for so long, but you can tell how close to nymphs someone is by looking at the shape of their ears :3 Ok, lets move on to-
Our heroes live in a vast and rich world that is divided in 2 Kingdoms: The Great Kingdom of Endeavor in the North and in the south The UA which stands for United Alliance... yeah, i didn’t think this through lol i’ll change the name later sorry sdjhfkfjhda
The states of the UA have the biggest mixed population percentage by far and live mainly in nice and warm places that i picture are like ancient Greece or Rome... so beautiful. Endeavor instead takes the MOST METAL places. No human on their right mind would live in such places... but nymphs do and nymphs are pOwERfuLL and who loves power?? it’s-
The Great Kingdom of Endeavor
Led by “The Flame of the North”, this assholes are powerful and smart... they strategically mixed their people with the nymphs from those secluded areas to adapt to the harsh conditions and expand their domain.
The Todoroki Royal Family has "refined” their blood FOR GENERATIONS to be the most overpowered beings ever by only marrying for political and/or genetic convenience. They’re probably the most Nymph-ish a human can be without actually being a nymph. Just bellow the middle mountains tho is-
The United Alliance (the fucking name lmao)
These lovely people live in small, independent states that got together to join forces and trade and be cool B). “The Knights of the South” are their protectors and the strongest among them. In theory, anyone can be a knight.
They have representatives that meet to discuss smart stuff and keep peace among people but, even tho they’re seen as equals, there's a silent agreement that the “The Chosen Hero” is kind of their leader. Who chose this hero you ask? Well, let me introduce you to-
This dude is a deity now and i have no regrets. He transcended from a mortal life to give his powers to the next generations of heroes with a heart worthy of carrying his ancient magic and protect the world from evil.
Sadly, he can’t come back to chose a hero since he is, you know, a fORcE oF NatuRE, so he made a sword that only the mightiest of heroes can wield called-
It’s said that the first one was made of the same gold as his laurel crown but now, every couple of decades, a little bit of the gold of the original blade is melted to forge a new sword that the current hero will secure in a pedestal, waiting for its rightful owner.
Only One For All’s chosen one can take it out and, when they do, they inherit The Ancient Magic to become the protector of the land and sworn enemy of-
This mysterious, evil force, instead of choosing to leave the physical realm like One for All did, feeds on human despair and chaos. His minions don’t only consist of the terrible monsters he creates but humans as well, and every couple of decades he gathers enough power to take a human vessel to fight out of the shadows.
Legend says his body still exists, hidden somewhere in the mortal world and that destroying it is the only way to banish him forever... i wonder if our heroes will find it O.o
i tried to make it as simple as possible but there’s a lot of lore (if you can call it that lol) that i couldn’t fit here without scaring most people away woopsie. Keep in mind that some of this stuff might be incorrect bc i simply shared what the people in the world agree is true so maybe there are some surprises here and there?? who knows... >:3
Anyways, thanks for reading my nonsense, I always take suggestions and ideas so don’t be afraid to share them with me! anons are always welcome in this blog :) If you have any questions let me know. I’ll definitely be doing more in depth post on the lore and characters though so if you are a nerd like me stay tuned and if you’re here for the art/story don’t worry, i’ll be posting more of that very soon!!
Bonus: sketching randoms ideas instead of taking notes in class iS My pASsiOn :)
