After the bulldozing of their old settlement, the people of the Arcai are given the choice to go back to their homelands or move onto a "reservation". Those who go to a reservation mostly do not have the resources or mana to go back to their homeland and a creation of a reservation is a linient move despite the locals having a strong dislike of the Arcai due to the things the Arcai had done centuries ago. The reservation is located just outside of the capital where some Arcai go to work to earn a living. But it is hard and Arcai are given work that too few of the normals can do such as making medicine or charging crystals.
The locals called Federians (called normals by the Arcai) have long forgotten how to use their bodily mana to use magic and rely mostly on mana crystals to power their home appliances and vehicles. The Federians hate the Arcai because the Arcai had wiped a nation off the maps just three centuries ago and because they think that the Arcai affinity towards magic cannot be trusted. On one side the fear of the Arcai is good for the Arcai themselves as the incidence of assaults in low, however the Arcai are treated even less than second class citizens. The Federians critique that the Arcai are backwards folk that still rely on a medieval way of life and that the Arcai may be inherently evil.
But due the Arcai don't know how long they can be pushed around like this. On one side they fear they might cause another atrocity, but on the other side they aren't willing to take this treatment for another century and might defend themselves against this or even more (such as usurping the Federian government to create a dictatorship where Federians must get along with the Arcai). A revolt is brewing. The Federian government is trying to keep the Arcai satisfied but the Federian people aren't contributing.
Federian society: Federa is a large island nation. It is modern and the old ways of magic have been forgotten. It seems almost like a present day Earth first world country just with technology powered by mana crystals. The Federian capital has a population of about two million. Federians dress modern and often work in office jobs. They get along with almost everybody except for the Arcai.
The vegetation on Federa is lush and there are mountains further inland.
Arcai society: Arcai society is based around magic. The Arcai creation myth says the normals of Arca sought knowledge and magical power and the gods mixed them with the demons to create the Arcai. The Arcai are known to use magic for nearly everything, be it construction or warfare. The Arcai usually wear long heavy clothes and are adorned with tattoos. First indicators of an Arcai settlement are tall buildings and floating crystals. Most of the current world hates the Arcai because they had enslaved half of humanity nearly 2000 years ago (slavery was abolished by the Arcai 1000 years there after), had conquered a big chunk of the known world and annihilated a nation 300 years ago. Now Arca is just a small nation that hasn't gone to war for 299 years and is mostly isolated as only one nation still does business with them due to a 1000 year old agreement that would keep the Arcai from invading and would allow trade to florish. Despite the worldwide hate towards Arcai, many nations still have some Arcai guest workers to produce mana crystals more efficiently.
The fewest Arcai are modern according to the rest of the world and only are distinguishable from normals because of their tattoos. Most Arcai still go the old ways but have grown wise and peaceful.
The nation of Arca is slightly larger than Federa and lies on a continent to the south. It's most distinct features are pine forests, rocky barrens and dormant volcanoes.
Goal of the roleplay:
You can be an Arcai or a Federian. There are fears of an Arcai uprising to come among the Federian government and smaller parts of it's populace. You can choose a path of destruction or avert Federa being once again ruled by the Arcai by forging a better relationship between the two. (The Arcai are strong but they until now have chosen not to make a move out of fear of being called evil.)
If you have any questions please ask in OOC.
