Devil’s Whisper
Premise
Civil war is brewing over the land of Cagia. The House of Allegrod, the royal family that ruled over Cagia for a half a millennium, was recently deposed in a coup d'etat by their rivals: The Esquoria Family. Luther Esquoria, the head of the House of Esquoria and now the Archmage of the Empire, has created the Shadow Assassins: A group of mages with extremely rare but powerful magic (known as Esoteric Mages). One of these Esoteric Mages is Jasmine Taulra, a mage with an ability known as Devil's Whisper, which allows her to enter the mind of anyone she chooses. Using Jasmine as an "adviser" for the state, Luther Esquoria was able to seize power relatively peacefully and prevented any major uprisings. But Julian Sayuga has created the Sidiroú in order to counter the Esquorias. He is planning on deposing the new government and taking power himself.
Now, a couple of months after the coup, the new Red Dawn Army has been created to stamp out any opposition. The Shadow Assassins act as a secret police, assassinating any major threats. The journey is now yours. Will you faithfully serve the Esquoria Family as a mage? Will you be the one leading the counter revolution? Or will you attempt to seize power yourself?

Lore
Cagia was once a land that was separated into hundreds of separate kingdoms and tribes. The early history of Cagia was defined by constant wars and disputes among the kingdoms. But one nation, the Iuashani Kingdom, was able to unite the tribes after decades of war. Dyfores Allegrodo, a poor farmer from the southern Iuashani Kingdom, quickly rose through the ranks of the political realm due to his mastery of the Esoteric Art of Lightning, an ability that was believed only the gods possessed. Two other mages, Baesu Sayuga and Yucella Esquoria, allied with Dyfores Allegrodo. Baesu and Yucella were Water and Earth mages respectively.
After the Unification Wars, the Iuashani Kingdom was transformed into the Cagian Commonwealth, with Dyfores Allegrodo, Baesu Sayuga, and Yucella Esquoria ruling over the Commonwealth in a triumvirate known as the Three Elites. They jointly ruled the Commonwealth until their deaths, where their descendants would carry on the tradition. Over the years, the three houses began to drift and grew resentment towards one another. Despite being allies, the Allegrodo and Esquoria never got along as as the centuries passed, and ultimately, the Esquoria was kicked out the government and the Three Elites. However, on the night of May 25, 525 ATU (525 years after the unification of Cagia, and the year the RP takes place), the Esqouria Family, headed by Luther Esquoria, had initiated a coup d’etat and removed the House of Allegrod Archmage from power, thus bring the Esqouria Family back into the government. The House of Allegrod had two legitimate heirs: Ezekiel Allegrodo, and his twin sister, Annora Allegrodo. Both disappeared without a trace and hasn’t been heard from since, so they’ve been presumed dead.
The Cagian Commonwealth is the name of the empire ruling over the continent of Cagia. The Commonwealth is ruled by Luther Esquoria with an iron fist. Cagia has hundreds of forests and mountain regions in the West and North, while the South is the Desert Region, and the East are the Far Plains.
