Fantasy The Edge of Light

Is it Ok to have a light mage? Not a super experienced one but more of an apprentice who just knows the basics?
Yes. Though i will point out monsters are not weak to light, they just cannot spawn in the light. Monsters who have already spawned can go into the light no problem. However a light mage will mean a much safer campsite for sure.
 
Oh.. So blasting light energy does nothing?

Is here any sort of metal or something used to craft weapons that makes the fighting easier?

Well if you blast light it can blind, if its searing light they can burn. I just mean its not like how grass pokemon are weak to fire.

A regular sword will cut monsters and any form of polished metal will reflect light amplifying spells of that domain the shinyer the better.

Think of it as a realistic fantasy, yeah theres monsters, but they are still organic beings like you. A dagger to the neck is still a good way to kill most things.

And since no monsters are too intelligent and most have nightvision. blinding them will make it much easier to clear them out. Seeing as how you want to make a light mage i would recommend a well polished shield or sword. Something that works as a component for your magic & can save your life in a pinch :)
 
Quick question, Why is Natalie disliked?
A few reasons actually. She is not a native Edenian, she is born from the Barbarian tribes beyond the southern border who have long since been a pain in the Edenian backside. In addition her adopted father, an epic knight, Lead a failed mission that resulted in the deaths of Himself and five other epic knights. So she has few friends. The prince likes her because she is "A Deadly beauty". However not alot of people like the prince as he has a reputation as a party boy who has lost face for turning down Duels so she has to deal with that as well...all that said she is a very very capable Guardian.
 
Anyway our characters will be starting off slightly more competent than the average person. After all the player characters are all Adventurers of varying experience levels.

Edenian History, Religion, & Culture.

Edenian history can be traced back up to 1190 years ago. It rose right after the Divine war, a massive globally spanning war between the gods that ravished the world. The God of Darkness was beleived to be victorious in this war which is why the darkness spawns monsters. However in their dying breath the rest of the gods united their power and struck a blow that crippled the dark god and spread magic to the far reaches of the world. Only the dark gods heart survived the ordeal. This inspired the childrens tale of the heart of darkness, a source of the monsters and thus a target for the greatest of adventures with the highest hopes of "saving the world." Unfortunatly the heart of darkness's location is unknown, though it is beleived to be somewhere in a deep dark cave.

Because of the Gods failure to stop the darkness and the massive amounts of death and destructiin that came along with their conflict, most gods have been forgotten and those who do worship gods are regarded as cultists and even imprisoned in some towns. Most see praying to the gods as a harmful evil deed as it empowers them and they clearly dont care to use their power for the sake of mortals. Instead the religious tenants of the land are starkly anti deity. The power within people is the prime focus, strength, intelligence, Resolve, and Community are some of the most important things one can strive for. Though not all follow the Edenian tenants, after all they arent mandated by law.

The culture of Edenia is one of Community, you help your neighbors, even if they are your worst enemy. Mostly because if your neighborhood is being attacked by monsters each non-monster being is an ally against the hordes. Adventurers are known for their willingness to risk life and limb in the effort to save people stranded in the wilderness, among other duties. Most see the adventurers as celebrities often jumping at the chance to meet one. Another line of brave individuals are the Farmers, who abandon the safety of the city walls in order to grow food for the rest of the population. Farmers, Adventurers, Mage teachers, and Blacksmiths are some of the worlds most respected people.​
