In the world of Fantasia, the land is unified under two very different continents. The major kingdoms of Fantasia is Europa, Asia, and Africa under the eastern continent and the Americas as well as Oceania on the western continent. Though there are smaller parts of these kingdoms. This is a world where both magic and technology has thrived in correspondence with one another and has built the greatest of empires. Of course, this magic and technology can't be found just anywhere. It is indeed the greatest source of battle power as well as benefits the kingdoms of Fantasia, but also leads to the ruination of these kingdoms through competing against one another for these resources. The glory days are no more and the world is on the road of a quick decline, but it is not unheard of that these resources are still being sought. While these resources are known to be as rare as finding a phoenix's feather lying simply on a worn down trail, there are still a few people other than the governments who possess these materials. Less than one hundred people out of millions, even billions. These individuals, though so few, have the capabilities to shape the world in their own vision.
Of course, this is not as simple as it seems. Not when other people have plans of their own.
It is a constant struggle between different intentions and the world may take a turn, for the better or the worse.
-Technology-
The materials needed for technology is found more frequently than magic, but still recherché. Minor technological equipment is provided for the major population such as communication devices, but only the government has major technological equipment such as airships and weapons. Of course, this does not include certain individuals who have somehow managed to obtain this equipment. If one was to search the old ruins of the once mighty Roman Empire, ancient technology can still be uncovered that is more advanced then what is seen in modern day. Many scientists are still studying this old technology in hopes to revive the glory days, but these attempts have been unsuccessful as of lately.
-Magic-
While magic itself is not literally considered as a resource, many people of Fantasia still consider it as such. It is rather that the teachings of this specific art have been long lost, only to be known to very few. Not only is this a determining factor of the dying magic, but mastering magic is a skill that takes devotion and a concentrated mind. There are many benefits that comes from learning magic though, including that lives are slightly lengthened. While magic is dying out in the human race, it is still prosperous among creatures of nature such as dragons. The two main categories of magic includes black and white magic. Black magic focuses on attack power as well as curses while white magic focuses on healing and benefits to the body.
