How actually should be called people from different empires and items from those places (like food, clothes etc)? I mean, for example, person from Japan is called Japanese, so person from Lucae would be called... Lucaen...? Lucaenan...? Is there any correct way to write/name it or is it up to us writers to figure it out?

Oooh, good question! For Lucae, it’s Lucaen & as for Melantia it’s Melantian. Those are the two I’m more certain of LOL Uhm.. For Elysium, I suppose they can be called Elysian. I hope that’s helped!

also, would the kingdoms have different forms of currency? or is it the same for all

There are some currency differences like the best way I can describe it is that Lucae is like America ( U.S. ) with monotonous-colored bills ( which are a light / greyish blue hue ) that range from 1$, 5$, 10$, 20$, 50$, 100$ bills. The coins in Lucae are valued at 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢. 

Then as for Melantia, the bills there are more colorful with more pigmented hues that range from 5$, 10$, 20$, 50$, 100$ bills. The coin value in Melantia commonly range from 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 1$, 2$ – with obvious inspiration from Canada. 

Elysium is a bit different as we’ve taken inspiration from Japan for their currency. Elysium’s more common usage of currency derives from their coins which are valued at 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 50¢, 1$, 5$, 10$. Then as for their bills, they vary in more of a yellow-gold hue to a silver-gray hue that start their value at 20$, 50$, & 100$. 

Then as for the currency value / weight differences between each country it goes as such.

1 MLD ( Melantian Dollar ) = 0.77 LUD ( Lucaen Dollar )

1 MLD = 82.35 ESA ( Elysium Argentum )

1 ESA = 0.01 LUD 

so on & so forth. so if you would want to calculate the prices of something in different empire you can use google & use the USD for Lucae, CAD for Melantia, & JPY for Elysium. 

I hope this helped!

In the ranks section, it mentions that Cleric and Bishops should have abilities focused on healing. Would it be possible for a character with another rank, say a pawn, to have a healing ability? Are there any other restrictions/guidelines on pawns? Sorry if these have been asked before and thank you for your time!

Okay first let me just say this: PAWNS HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL & ARE SO GREAT !! GIVE THEM A CHANCE YOU GUYS ! ! 

And now that I have that off my chest – Pawns really don’t have any restrictions or guidelines! I mean other than ranking and having to answer to the higher-ups, Pawns can be just as strong as a Commander & be just as versatile with support as a Bishop. Ranks are honestly, just pretty words to boost a superiority ( & also inferiority ) complex in others. 

So yes! Pawns ( or any other rank ) can have a healing ability! However, please take this in stride. Pawns are not Clerics / Bishops, therefore their whole career can not be heavily weighted on their curative ability. Sure, a pawn can aspire to be a Cleric / Bishop; however they still need to be focused on their offensive as pawns are the first line of offense for each empire & if there is a rouge pawn, not focused on trying to keep the warring empire at bay, things can get nasty.

I had a question! Within the Kingdoms (so Spadia and Clavain and the others, not the actual empires) are there any cities or towns within them or is it solely them?

Yes there are other cities and towns! Actually would you be surprised that Spadia, Clavain, Hartion, etc. aren’t the only countries within the empires? That’s why on our about page, we only listed them as FOCUS countries / areas. But like anywhere else, there are others! 

I did this so the group is more... open-ended, so if you wanted your character to come from somewhere else that you named within Melantia or something, it’s certainly viable! But if requested enough, I might compile a small list of the other towns and stuff if that would be helpful.
