《Soulbound Hunter》The World of Thrae — A Compendium
Advertisement
The World-building
The World Physics of Thrae is not a typical gaming-world per se. However, you could say that this world dwells in a state of Romanticism and Fictional Imagination, while traces of Realism and Pragmatism are entrenched within. Thus, a movement’s momentum, weight differences, gravity, and other factors may influence an action's outcome.
Stabbing someone with a knife while standing still versus stabbing someone with running momentum is not equal.
A Hunter’s Health points may remain full (100/100). However, this does not mean that the Hunter does not feel hunger or other abnormal conditions. The same goes for fatigue. A fatigued Thraen will notice his or her drop in focus, increased tiredness, dehydration, and other physical or psychological changes in their bodies.
Minor spoiler if you haven't read the Prologue yet:
The Soul Window can only be acquired by an Awakened. Any Thraen denizen can see a Hunter's Soul Window. Yet, only the Soul Window owner can interact with it, with a few exceptions, such as Trading. It is so far unclear who or what created the Soul Window System.
The Elements of Thrae
Coming Soon!
Rating list – updated from Chapter 11.
Dungeon Ratings: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Heroic, ???, ???
So far in the story, the Heroic Dungeon Rating has been introduced. Do you have a (un)pleasant feeling higher-rated Dungeons will befall Thrae? A reminder that any rated Dungeon has built-in Levels, such as Silver-rated Goblin Hideout Lv2, introduced in chapter 9. A higher rating is equivalent to higher-tiered monsters and higher monster density, often synonymous with better Dungeon Rewards. A higher Dungeon Level is equivalent to higher-leveled monsters.
Quest Ratings: Bronze, Silver, Gold, ???, ???, ???
Same as Dungeons, but undecided after Gold Quest Rating. Note that Quests are further separated into Bronze, Bronze+, Bronze++, Silver, Silver+, etc.
Special Quests Rating: Unique, is always non-repeatable, and be combined with any other Quest Rating.

Items in the chapters are underlined when announced by the Soul Window, but not when spoken or narrated.

Pets can be Non-Elemental or possess an Element in any Rating. Higher Rating correlates to higher stats, rarity, and growth potential.

Demonic beings will also follow the standard 'Monster Ratings' but are granted additional titles, such as The Demonic Emissary of Hell. While how the story rates Undead, like Lich, Death Knight, Bone Dragon (examples, not actual Undead of Thrae. Yet?), is under revision.

World of Telduria
The world of Telduria is filled with dangers and opportunities. The world is made up of numerous factions, kingdoms and alliances. Most of the time there is relative peace but every now and then wars and skirmishes breaks out. There is a council of nations which tried to mediate peace between the nations. Each nation is represented along with the guilds which span the world.The guilds have an invested interest in keeping the peace due to how they work across the borders. The different nations make up half of the council while the guilds make up the second half. The balance in the world is on a life's edge. A powder keg waiting to blow, but no one dares to make the first move.After the formation of the adventures guild and the mercenary guild most nations dissolved their militarises and instead the army is more of a policing force than an offensive one while the guilds hunt down dangerous creatures and monsters that appears in the world.The nations have changed their ways from war to one of assassination, espionage, economics and diplomacy. World leaders don't tend to survive very long if they don't have guards with them at all times. While officially there is no assassin's guild or thieves guild they do sure exist and are thriving like never before in the current political climate. That and the other guilds don't stop them since they also hire their services from time to time.The various temples and religions have no official power part from some nations which are based around a belief. In actuality though they have considerable powers since they control the masses just as well as the rulers themselves. Get on their bad side and you might just find an assassin coming for you. A young woman gets thrown into this grimdark world from our own. Will she survive the curveball that gets thrown in her face as she changes into something else? Map created by Maximeplasse This fiction is based on my play-per-post RP that I've run before but with my own take on summoned characters and dungeon settings. At certain points I'll also allow reader decisions if the story gets popular enough. xD It's unrelated to the D&D Theron setting; Telduria I just liked the name and the map when I started up the RP back in the day.
