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. High in the middle of Endsquare, the Obsidian Dominion's enigmatic capital, thrones the Black Castle—seat of the Obsidian Crown. From here rules the Obsidian King alongside the Obsidian Queen over the endless, sprawling labyrinth of dark alleys, clinking forges, and soot-drenched stone. A haze of ashes and smoke darkens the clouds, and the sun hasn’t touched the city or surrounding lands in years. The territory of the Obsidian Dominion faction is a cold and dark place, yet not without beauty. The smiths and artisans of the Obsidian Dominion are unmatched in their handcraft. The Obsidian King is a serious and cold man—just as unapproachable and distant as most of the Obsidian Dominion’s people, a folk who prefer silence over smalltalk, and the sword over reconciliation. But in the Obsidian Dominion, there is no one more admired and honored. He is valued as a strategic mind, a sharp wit, and an excellent ruler. He honors loyalty—and strikes ruthlessly at those who betray it.
