Welcome to the Kingdoms of Victarius

A brief overview of 700 years of history…

The Lands

The Six Kingdoms of Victarius follow a Lunation Calendar divided into twelve moon phases.

The moon completes one full cycle every 30 days (or dates/da’es depending on one's accent and preferred linguistic style).

Each moon cycle was determined to be a “fresh start” for the people, thus beginning the creation of the calendar for time telling and tracking of stars and the moon. The indication of each new phase was the sighting of the new moon. Some phases, however, would be 29 days instead of 30 depending on the cycle of the moon and the lunation calendar would be updated throughout the seasons to accurately reflect the moons changes.

Each cycle aligns with the Divine House constellation held within the sky. A constellation that determines ones destiny in this lifetime.

Divine Houses & Guilds

The Six Kingdoms of Victarius operate under a caste system determined by a person's Divine House, which is assigned at birth based on the constellation under which they are born. Each House consists of different guilds and classes, with varying levels of internal hierarchy.

Children born in impoverished families but prominent Houses were deemed the luckiest in society, as they were able to leave their poverty behind for higher pursuits, but were also forced to leave their family behind to pursue their Destinies. Just as harsh, but less in luck, were children born into undesirable Houses with parents from Houses of prestige. Like their counterparts, these children were forced to leave their families behind to pursue their Divine Destinies, but instead of being awarded with privilege and honor, they were often made to start over while pursuing their lesser Houses and fates.

It was not uncommon or even looked down upon for expecting parents to attempt to time the birth of their children to the stars alignment, with Herbalists offering over-the-counter herbal mixes to take to induce labor, delay the birth, or, only offered by few Herbalists, stop it from occurring entirely if there was no chance for the child to be born into a House deemed appropriate for the family’s wishes.
