First of all: the map of the world in which the whole thing takes place is pinned in the comments. It's not quite finished yet, but it gives you a rough overview.
Ah yes, Ma-Fra! The island of a hundred swamps and a thousand graves, with the scent of mold, death, and despair, with the screeching of countless crows and the ever-thick fog that barely allows sunlight to touch the muddy ground. There's no place that offers a greater contrast to the scholarly city of Lobertis than the swamp island of Ma-Fra! Yes, Lobertis... How they mocked me at the magic academy because I wasn't good enough in their eyes. How they teased and humiliated me, again and again. Yes, I know that I'm hardly worth anything as a mage if I constantly twist sentences or forget half the spells. I'm just not Sammaster the Mad, my role model when it comes to necromancy. No one can hold a candle to him, the so-called "First Speaker." I mean, when it comes to raising and controlling the dead... man, Sammaster was a true master in that field!
And now I'm on Ma-Fra, arguably the largest cemetery in all of Shorrisan. Well, after all, the island is nothing else: one big graveyard! Perfect for my study purposes! And in the small village in the north of the island, no one minds that I'm practicing my arts here...
About you:
You can be whoever you want. Race, class, religion, and gender are up to you. You came to Ma-Fra to... Well, decide for yourself.
