All of the clans in the Kingdom of Agoroth once lived together on relative peace, with each clan being lead by their clan leader. After many centuries of harmony, the Onyx clan decided that the other clans were growing weak, looking for peace and not war, and letting people from other lands enter their kingdom. They decided to rise up against the other clans, saying the other clan leaders had grown old and senile. Many people from other clans started to see their reason, and joined with the Onyx Clan. Years of fighting followed, and clans took sides against one another. The days of peace were over, all right, and Agoroth became a place where no one in their right mind would enter. In the end, it was the Onyx Emerald, and Amethyst Clans against the Greenstone, Moonstone and Ruby Clan. Families were torn apart, entire cities were burnt to the ground and the population of the Kingdom of Agoroth was almost halved.



In a last-bid order to save the remaining lives of their people, the Amethyst clan decided to surrender, giving up all claims to a fighting nation. The Onyx Clan thought if this as a sign of cowerdice, and many more Amethyst Clan members were killed as an act of revenge. When it became clear to the Onyx Clan they could not win this war yet, they seemingly disappeared from Agoroth, leaving it with nearly no produce, or even places to live. Agoroth hasn't forgiven the Onyx Clan for bringing down war and death on them, and, if given the chance, would quite happily try and rid the clan from Agoroth forever, as they sometimes still launch surprise attacks upon small villages and settlements, as well as the fact they started the war in the first place, however small that war may be now.

In Agoroth, magic is an everyday occurrence. Everybody knows how to purify water with a wave of their hand, or light a fire without use of a match. Magic is used for cooking and cleaning. Agoroth would be lost without it.
But within each clan, members have a special power passed down through the bloodline. The power is not something they can chose, and, if two people from different clans have a child, the child will only have a power from one clan. This magic is weak without proper training, and every child is taught in clan segregated schools how to master their powers. These powers are suited to the place where the clan is situated and what jobs they do, so most people stay where they were born for their entire life, although, they of course go for trips and adventures throughout the land.

Some people join the army, and go through training to help defend their country. Recruits come from every clan, but mainly from the Ruby clan as they are the best at fighting (a well-known fact).


Pᴏᴡᴇʀs ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ Cʟᴀɴs
As mentioned above, there are specific powers for specific clans, although they can all perform simple, universal tasks.

Mᴏᴏɴsᴛᴏɴᴇ: although they are not seers, they can see the most likely outcome of fights, bets and day-to-day happenings. This is not accurate, as it relies solely on logic. Most people from the Moonstone Clan are calm and rational, as it helps with their power as well as being the environment they are bought up in.



Gʀᴇᴇɴsᴛᴏɴᴇ: the Greenstone Clan is very close to nature and can grow plants - although a seed or plant is needed in the first place for this power to work. They are very spiritual, like the Amethyst Clan, but are also made of sterner stuff. They strongly believe in what is right and wrong, and are never afraid to put in their opinion.



Rᴜʙʏ: magically enhanced fighters and warmongers, the Ruby clan is almost guaranteed to win. They come alive on the battlefield. The Ruby clan is the bravest clan and is not afraid to do whatever it takes to win or get to where they want to go. The Ruby Clan trains new recruits on combat training, and most members join the army.



Aᴍᴇᴛʜʏsᴛ: the Amethyst Clan can magically heal anyone, but this power is physically taxing on them as they often take in almost half the pain their patient is in. Wherever someone from another clan is near someone from the Amethyst Clan, their powers are amplified slightly. The Amethyst Clan is very protective of everyone, but is also far too kind and dreamy to fight, but they will not hesitate to haggle or yell at someone for stealing, especially after growing up in a city environment.



Eᴍᴇʀᴀʟᴅ: manipulation of thoughts. Whilst this power is very taxing and can take a physical and mental toll on the body, the Emerald Clan is regarded as the most powerful clan in negotiation. The Emerald clan is, however, very empathetic, caring and prefer not to use their powers for harm.



Oɴʏx: when touching inanimate objects, the Onyx Clan can see its history right back to the creation of the Kingdom of Agoroth and before, and this power also allows them to curse objects. The Onyx clan is very cold and secretive, and don’t trust anyone, not even their friends and family. They are against new people and things, and never welcome anyone into anything. This power is not widely known throughout Agoroth. The Onyx clan cannot be RPed at the moment.
