Sibillians

The Sibillian people are the proud and resilient inhabitants of the Kingdom of Sibillia, a powerful nation that leads the anti-Asiendalian faction. Though they share many superficial similarities with humans, the Sibillians possess unique traits and abilities that distinguish them from other humanoid races. Their culture is deeply rooted in tradition, honor, and an unyielding sense of self-determination, shaping them into formidable warriors, scholars, and leaders.

Physical and Racial Traits

Sibillians closely resemble humans but with distinct physiological and magical differences. Many possess slightly elongated lifespans due to their attunement with mana, with some of the strongest among them living up to 300 years. Their hair and eye colors vary widely, but certain noble bloodlines exhibit striking hues of silver, deep crimson, or ethereal blue, signifying a deeper connection to their magical heritage. They are naturally gifted in physical combat, boasting enhanced reflexes and resilience, making them adept fighters, knights, and tacticians. However, while many Sibillians possess a degree of magical aptitude, their proficiency in magic is not as refined or naturally potent as that of the Asiendalians.

Societal Structure

Sibillian society is highly stratified, built upon a rigid hierarchy that values strength, wisdom, and political cunning. The nation is ruled by King Vaelric Thorne, an imposing yet charismatic leader whose iron will has kept Sibillia united against the overwhelming power of Asiendal. The nobility consists of ancient houses that hold military and political power, many of whom trace their lineage back to the kingdom’s founding. Below them, the warrior class is revered, with many families dedicating generations to mastering combat and strategy.
Merchants, scholars, and artisans hold an essential but secondary role in society, contributing to Sibillia’s economy and cultural advancements. Unlike Asiendal, where technological marvels and magical integration have reached their peak, Sibillia relies more on traditional craftsmanship, alchemy, and battlefield ingenuity.

Religion and Beliefs

The Sibillian people devoutly worship the Trifold Divinity, a pantheon consisting of three powerful deities:
Veyrn, the Indomitable Titan – The god of war, endurance, and sovereignty. Depicted as a towering warrior clad in blackened steel, Veyrn represents the Sibillian spirit of unyielding resistance against foreign domination, especially Asiendal. His followers, especially the military elite, pray to him before battle.
Ysmera, the Ever-Weaving Fate – The goddess of destiny, deception, and knowledge. Often depicted as a veiled woman holding a book and dagger, she is revered by spies, diplomats, and strategists. Many Sibillian rulers claim her guidance in shaping the nation's future.
Khaelis, the Burning Resolve – The god of ambition, passion, and destruction. Symbolized by a crimson phoenix wreathed in fire, Khaelis embodies the Sibillian people's desire to rise above all others, even in the face of impossible odds. He is worshipped by revolutionaries, visionaries, and those seeking to topple the old order.
Unlike the Asiendalians, who worship Dra’ahan, the living god of dragons and time (Eremon himself), the Sibillians firmly reject the notion of a mortal-turned-deity. To them, faith must be placed in divine entities beyond the reach of mortal ambition.

Relations with Asiendal

Sibillia’s rivalry with Asiendal stems from historical conflicts, territorial disputes, and ideological differences. While Asiendal thrives as the world’s most powerful kingdom, Sibillia remains its greatest challenger, opposing its expansion and influence. Sibillians often refer to Asiendalians as “the Dragon’s Thralls,” believing that Asiendal’s god-king and his lineage have unjustly subjugated the world.
Trade disputes, border skirmishes, and proxy wars between the two nations are common, though open warfare remains a delicate matter due to Asiendal’s overwhelming might. Despite their opposition, there is begrudging respect between the two peoples, as both value strength and perseverance above all else.

Conclusion

The Sibillian people are fierce, independent, and unwavering in their beliefs. As a nation, they stand as the spearhead of the anti-Asiendalian movement, driven by their ambition to forge a world where no single entity holds absolute power. Their faith, culture, and warrior spirit ensure that, despite the shadow of Asiendal looming over them, they will not fade into obscurity but will fight to carve their own destiny in the world.
