Spy
Spies are a tall, light-skinned race of men hailing from the central region of Lakelandia. They are the most technologically advanced race on Maji, having invented many magic-powered mechanisms and weaponry. They control the powerful Imperial Spy Empire, an empire whose influence reaches far. Because of this, Spies and their culture can be found nearly anywhere.
Homeland
Main Articles: Imperial Kingdom & Imperial Spy Grasslands Spies originally hail from the continent of Europe, on Earth, where they lived amongst the humans, often hiding their magical characteristics. They lived there for thousands of years until the Migration to Maji. Upon migrating to Maji, the Spies quickly founded a kingdom in the center of Lakelandia, under the rule of their king, Landon Fear-Eye. This was the Kingdom of Lakelandia, later known as the Imperial Kingdom. Throughout its history, the Imperial Kingdom occupied two separate regions. The first and current is central Lakelandia, a region filled with grasslands, deciduous forests, and many rivers, perfect for the many farming villages that dot the kingdom. The second region occupied by the kingdom was the Imperial Spy Grasslands, a large region within the center of the continent of Calos. This region is very similar to central Lakelandia, having many grasslands and deciduous forests. During the Era of Death and subsequent eras, the Imperial Spy Grasslands became largely uninhabitable and since abandoned. Some Spies still reside in small communities in the remaining habitable regions of Calos, but the majority has since returned to Lakelandia.Description
Spies appear very similar to the humans of Europe with a few differences. Firstly, Spies are much taller on average than humans, males and females often reaching over six feet in height. Their height can be compared to that of the elves. Spies also have a much lesser variety of hair and skin colors. Spies universally have a skin tone reminiscent of the skin of humans hailing from Northern Europe. Spies can have a variety hair colors, but black and blonde are by far the most common, making up the vast majority of Spies.Culture
Spies are by far the most technologically advanced race on Maji. They have invented many magic-powered mechanisms and machinery throughout their history. They always strive for innovation and advancement where other races may not. Their need for innovation has produced many talented craftsmen and blacksmiths, causing Spy-made weapons, armor, and tools of any kind to be widely used across all of Maji. Machines and tools made by Spies are almost always constructed from Spy copper, a lightweight, but extremely durable metal. Spy cities comprise some of the largest cities on Maji, being built like large hubs meant for trade. Cities are almost always surrounded by tall, stone walls. These walls are almost never simply cobbled together, and are instead built to be durable and pleasant to the eyes. Important Spy cities, such as Spy Town, will often feature large castles overlooking the city where the lord or king resides. The most important of Spy castles and cities may be guarded by massive titans, mechanical giants made from Spy copper and powered by a combination of steam and magic. These titans are built into the walls of the city or castle and lie dormant like statues until needed to defend the city. Within Spy cities and villages, the buildings have a very warm appearance; houses and businesses are almost always timber framed. Most houses have simply thatched roofs, whereas more wealthy homes and businesses may have something more durable.Religion
Main Article: Pantheon of Men The Spies follow the Pantheon of Men, which worships the gods of Atnonut, Jaxum, Vah, Ikoa, Kis, Tyelr, and Wil. Wil is a unique god within their religion, not being worshiped by any other races. This is because Wil is the deified name for Gunther William-Spy, the first member of the William-Spy dynasty and the second Emperor of the Imperial Spy Empire. Generally, the Spies believe that the gods rule over their domains, rather than having some part in creating them. Kis is especially worshiped among the Spies as the gave rise to the race of men. Wil is not worshiped as the ruler of a form of magic and is instead believed to come to the empires aid in the form of reincarnation whenever the need arises. As such, the William-Spy dynasty has a holy justification among themselves and the Spies as a whole for their right to rule.Spy Names
