Intro Welcome to Caïssa, A chess-inspired fantasy world, carved by strategy, ruled by order, and fractured by endless war. Here, every soul is born into a role—Knight or Bishop, Rook or Pawn. Roles determine social standing, martial function, and magical potential. Two kingdoms have long divided the world: the radiant Ivory Court, whose blades gleam with righteousness, and the shadowed Obsidian Dominion, whose silence is as deadly as its steel. Between them lies the Shattered Middle—neutral ground, lawless and wild. Ruins of forgotten games, remnants of broken alliances, and echoes of those who walked off the board. In the heart of King’s Reach, the Ivory Court’s bustling capital, towers the White Castle—seat of the Ivory Crown. From within its gleaming walls rules the Ivory King, alongside his Queen, over the sun-flooded territories of the Ivory Court. A serious man with a good heart—he is both a wise and just ruler, and a formidable warrior. His swordsmanship is unmatched in the realm, his leadership steady as stone.
