A world development chapter, ヽ(・ω・) (・ω・) (・ω・)ノ
I will give a prize to the first person to guess the 4 hidden secrets in this chapter correctly.
sorry it seems short, its because I have been very careful with fine tuning the world (I don't have a god complex btw), but luckily i had some time while i was in writers block so i made a map of the world. http://pre14.deviantart.net/4dce/th/pre/f/2016/209/f/4/ruby_eyes_basic_world_map__ralf__by_drogan2000-dabqo4o.jpg
The world where magic runs free and violence is always the answer is called Ralf, the world consists of one great continent and 3 smaller islands, each holding their own island kingdom. The main continent of Ralf is called Sepha on its land are the 3 human nations of Thurid, Castance and Pina. Other nations that reside on Sepha are the Great forest, which is home to the Elves and lies south of the human countrys. The Crags, a nation consisting of mountains that house the Dwarfs and Dragonkin races. The last nation of Sepha is the realm of demons named Yami. The last land, known as the Wildlands, is ruled by a series of beastman tribes fighting for dominance, the Wildlands also connect Yami from the north-east, the Crags from the north and the Human and Elf nations from the south, making it the most dangerous place in Ralf. The last nation doesn't have its own land but this nation is the merfolk's, who live underwater.
The 3 island nations are known as Que, Hebi and Nisi, the islands of Nisi and Que are southwest of Sepha but Hebi is different with it residing west of the Demon nation.
On the 19th of the month of grail(July) a message rang out across the kingdoms of Ralf, telling of the completion of the 7 sin's of Alphard. This sent the believers of Lucia into a state of panic across the entire known world.
Even thought the world learned of their existence, the only real information that was known about them were their titles as the sin's. The world changed though learning these names, rumors and speculations arose over the titles such as greed and lust, from zealot believers of Lucia mass investigations were sent to inquire about wealthy merchants and the concubines of the human lords, there were even some executions on the matter but there was no way of telling.

The announcement of the 7 sin's were quickly forgotten when the princess of Thurid's birthday arrived on the next day causing the world to forget the unsettling news due to the Excitement about the princess's 14th birthday.
2 days after the birthday party that spread throughout the Human kingdoms, the realization of the sins slowly dawned over the world as an ancient scroll was found in the grand library that was managed by the Elves, documenting the last time the 7 sins were created.
The ancient scroll depicted that 7 sins spawn from the living 7 known races of Ralf;
the sin pride would always be the Dragonkin king since it's known to be a honorary title to the royalty.
The sin greed is part of the dwarf race but he is already held captive by the dwarf royalty in an immortal prison.
The sin gluttony is said to go to a whole beastman tribe, which seems to impossible but its useful enough to know the race.
The sin wrath is undoubtedly connected to the demon race but other information about this is has been destroyed by age.
The sin lust is known to be connected to the humans because of their fertility.
The sin of sloth is said to be a elf but nothing is said about this sin.
And finally the sin of envy is said to be deified by the merfolk as their messenger of god since they openly worship Alphard as their god, there was also a warning about the sins.
It says to never fight a sin unless you know you will slay it, no matter the cost or method.
This sends the Lucia church into a frenzy to identify and locate the 6 unknown sins, but one day later, a message is sent to every high priest of Lucia sending the world into a even bigger panic than the initial 7 sin announcement.
My faithful chosen disciples, this is your goddess Lucia with a grave message.

A fellow chosen among my children has been slain by the sin of envy,
the fallen champion was known as (u#s-/a ~\u]{Br%*!.
He has fallen due do the evil of Alphard and his sins, I wish for my children to weather this storm.
(A Godly Conversation)
In the world of Ralf there are essentially 12 gods, if they were to be divided between the religions, which there are 4 of, the gods would be divided like this;
2 to the religion of Lucia, with Lucia the goddess of light and Alphard the god of Darkness, the religion of Lucia has roots in all nations and the island nations except the demon nation.
3 gods go to the religion of creators. This religion is rooted in the Crags and is practiced by both Drakekin and dwarfs, the gods for the creators religion are Frand of the Fire, Herad of the Stone and Kather of the Air. They're known to be brothers with the age descending in the same order as said.
5 gods the religion of the wild. This religion is practiced by all beastmen regardless of tribe, the gods are Dia goddess of the sun, Thyone goddess of the moon, Themisto of the hunt, Lapetus goddess of life and Mimas god of death.
2 twin goddess are worshiped by the Elves and all those who practice magic, the older of the two is the god Metfara who governs over the magic of the races while the younger sister Elise governs over the magic that all other life possess.
but back to the story.
As the message rang throughout the world, Alphard was laughing in his Divine realm.
The Divine realm is a place where the gods live but all the gods have a separate area in the realm that is their home so its their own divine realm.
After laughing for a while, a voice is heard by Alphard who recognizes it as Lucia.
(Lucia):"ALPHARD im gonna kill you, if you don't stop messing with my chosen."
(Alphard):"Yeah, no . . . I did you a favor or you would have directly broken the God non-aggression pact twice."
(Lucia):"What are you talking about, I have done no such thing" a hint of annoyance and boastfulness could easily be heard from her voice.
(Alphard):"If you don't remember the pact it says you can't be a direct cause for the death, or cursing of another's chosen and you broke the rule twice by nearly turning my chosen into a goblin-fish that I stopped before you messed up and then trying to sending every member of the church towards her which I stopped as well to save YOUR ass, just because she won a battle against a very weak chosen."
From hearing this Lucia can't give a counter argument since everything Alphard said was more or less true in the big picture.
(Alphard):"Its hard enough that you're my younger sister and I have to look after you but if this happens again and I can't fully cover for you, it will lead to a problem that will get you disgraced, so as your brother I ask of you. Please think before making any actions.
ok then it seems no ones interested in the secrets, so change of prize.
the first person to find the secret will have the possibility to add anyone addition to the world and I will do it no Questions asked and for the prize there are no hints now.
