Soft. There are some ground rules but most of it is just vibes lol. It's fun to play around with bc the characters are basically magic researchers. Overall, very mythic vibes.

He's a special boy lolol. He got his divine gift from the earth goddess. It mostly only extends to earth magic bc of that.

There are some gods who still interact with their chosen humans. The king was given his power by the earth goddess as a child just bc he saved her favorite iris. Now they've got a mentee/mentor relationship (think Athena and Odysseus from epic). His power is a secret tho bc magic is mostly illegal.

Knieja is the name of the continent (translates roughly to dense forest from Polish) they're on while Irisja is the name of the MC's country. Lots of nature themed names bc the Earth Goddess is one of the most important deities in the pantheon

Kresimir has been taken to court and the king will do anything to save him from a death sentence

Both athanasi and kresimir do. Athanasi has an amethyst drop earring he is partial to, and kresimir likes anything pretty and silver (because my boy is cool toned)

I'm maria! My world is based on polish history. A lot of the story centers around the relationship between gods and humans. The gods abandoned humanity years ago, but many cults still exist. Some of them do magic using artifacts (heresy), but only one person (the King) can use magic at will.
