basically just a bit of info. about the world most of my characters are from and live in. So
thanks fer reading dis and NE comments can go to ninnako_foxie@hotmail.com. 

Cephta
	Cephta is a lush and beautiful world. The realm that is Cephta is a dimension all
of its own that ‘overlaps’ with another one that is called the Dark Realm by legends. At
certain places of Cephta, one can see parts of the barrier that blocks off the Dark Realm.
These points are rips in the dimensional wall, where normally one cannot detect or see
the barrier. Some rips allow you to cross over in to the Dark Realm and some do not.
Magik is very dangerous in Cephta, so the individuals who can use magic usually either
know only small spells like Sleep or they are people high in the ranking of society. The
reason magik is so dangerous, is that it is hard to control with all the magik disturbance
from the vast amount of the rare energy, Nin’nako Energy, in it’s pure form. Therefore,
someone who can control magik tends to be very powerful, which leads to a high status.
	The population is very low in Cephta and is in decline, due to the fact that for
every child born, 10 others die. The average life of a Cephtan is 500, but their aging
process is very irregular. Generally, a Cephtan grows normally till 10-30 years. Then they
stop aging till they are nearly to the end of their life.
	Cephta also has two sister moons looking down on it. One of which is called
D'Ni, the other called Mina'skwa. Mina'skwa is not entirely whole, and is a cresent shape.
Legends claim that there was a war between the Beings of the Dark and the Silent
Walker, and the moon was partially destroyed due to this.
	There are 3 cities in Cephta. One if Point: Zetallis. A city floating in the sky. It
represents the air and Nin’nako energy. Point: Keynata is situated in and around a
dormant volcano; representing earth and fire. Point: Atlantis is the city under and on the
surface of the Cepheus Ocean and is a trade city like Points: Zetallis and Keynata. It
represents water.

The Dark Realm
	The majority of the information available is what the Silent Walker has chosen to
reveal, or that of legend. The Dark Realm is the realm of which the Beings of the Dark
choose as their domain, though they effect many others, each with their own area. The
Realm itself is only accessable from Cephta, existing on the same yet not the same
dimensional plane as Cephta. It is ruled by the Lord of Darkness whom allows his
subordinates to rule seperate areas of it.

--Mazoku
	The term "Mazoku" is used for all of the high powers and their direct servants. IE
this term would be used for the Silent Walker, Death, Time, the Beings of the Dark, and
their servants. Mazoku are not completely evil, but their usual behavior is "evil" and tend
to have malviolent tendencies.
	-Earrings
		Earrings are on way of telling who a Mazoku serves. Each servant wheres
what their master wheres. It is also a symbol of status. Status is very important and
sometimes a life or death situation. If the servant does not have visible ears, then they
will wear it on a necklace.

[Zetallis Corporation]
	The [Zetallis Corporation] is the government that runs Cephta. It is heavily
involved in keeping peace, education, and commerce trade with outside dimensions. The
[Zetallis Corporation] is benevolent, unlike the group that had taken over for a short time
and corrupted all around them. Like most things connected to Artifacts, the corporation
supports The Phoenix, while thoughs of Darkness supposedly support The Dragon. It is
situated in the center of Point: Zetallis in the Caitiorn Tower the area around it.
Currently, the mortal leader of the corporation is Madam Yoshiko, though the Silent
Walker still watches over things, so it is said. For Cephta is her domain. Though, the
legends are now fading into the past. It is believed that Madam Yoshiko knows the secret
behind the corporation, but chooses not to speak for the Knight of the Silent Walker,
whom interacts with the corporation frequently, does not either; and it is not questioned
by Officals of the corporation. Both the Knight of the Silent Walker and Madam Yoshiko
are powerful mages, though they rarely display it and the Knight is very friendly and
lighthearted. He does not allow other people, then Yoshiko, to know he is a Mazoku
though, for fear of attracting unnecessary attention.

NIGHTMARE
	NIGHTMARE is a seperate corporation than [Zetallis Corp.] Once, running
Cephta after an incident with the Cephtan Scion, they are now more of an underground
association. But they still have they’re hands in power, though not nearly as strong
anymore. NIGHTMARE is deeply involved in the blackmarket and politics, but a small
unit of it seems to be more heavily involved in something involving the [Zetallis
Corporation]. It is also heavily associated with dimensional smuggling, which is a very
big deal in Cephta. NIGHTMARE is controlled by a being who’s only know as President
Mitzichun. Mostly, his personal attendant, Tidari Raichu, operates things with orders
from the President.
