The land of Kaltseir once prospered under the rule of the old Verloren Empire, but it was destroyed by the acts of Necromancers. The world plunged into an deep winter for three hundred years. It was only the magic of the Erleuchtet, worshipers of the Sun-God, Glanzend, that saved the land by calling warm weather every year during which to grow crops. The people of Kaltseir began to rebuild their civilization over the ruins of Lost Verloren, guided by the teachings of the Erleuchtet.

The Erleuchtet Church is the center of Kaltseir religion, teaching reverence to the sun-god Glanzend. It is through their magic that Kaltseir gets warm weather for the short time that it does. The Erleuchtet are based out of the Dom Licht, one of the few surviving fortresses of old Verloren, at the base of the Sengt Mountain Range. The Fire Clans are considered blasphemous because of their magic, which they say is an attempt to mimic Glanzend's powers.

The Paladins are the militant arm of the Erleuchtet, tasked with keeping the land safe from rouge Necromancers. The have earned a reputation among the general populace as bullies, having essentially been given free reign of the land by the Sun Priests.

All magic is practiced through the drawing of glyphs and runes. Glyphs are drawn in the air by a mage with their left hand while directing the spell with their right hand. Runes are drawn onto surfaces to infise the object directly with magic.

Magic is divided into two categories: Elemental and Spirit

Elemental magic is practiced by the nomadic clans that appeared in the years following the collapse of old Verloren. Each set of clans practices a form of one of the classical elements Fire/Light, Air/Lighting, Water/Ice, and Earth/Wood. The fire clans are hated by the Erleuchtet for blasphemous attempts to steal the power of Glanzend.

Spirit magic involves the summoning of, speaking to, and manipulation of spirits and souls. Spirit Mages are revered across the land for their ability to commune with the dead, and have a high place in the hierarchy of the Erleuchtet. Necromancers are universally reviled for their summoning of the undead, the faulnis geweckt.

There are still some Spirit Mage clans that are not affiliated with the Erleuchtet and it is from these that most Necromancers come from. Darkness is often associated with these clans.

There are three type of undead in this world:

Faulnis geweckt These are best described as zombies - reanimated corpses. They are raised by Necromancers, who call them gestiegen, the risen. They are main weapon in a Necromancers army. Depending on the complexity of the glyphs used, they range from shambling, rotting masses, to near-human. They have no minds of their own and must be given direction by their master.

Revanants Dark spirits that haunt the land. Necromancers seldom call these things because they are unpredictable and frequently turn against their master, devouring their soul. The only place they linger, unaided, is the Great Library of Mondarl.

Versteckt Essentially, vampires. These were created by Necromancers who wanted more intelligent minions than gestiegen, and more loyal immortals than revanants. Unfortunately, the versteckt abandoned their charges and have dispersed across the land. They sometimes assist Necromancers, but spend most of their time evading the Paladins, as they are the ultimate blasphemy to Glanzend.

---

It's a High Fantasy World. A Necromancer has holed up in the seaside castle of Blau Festung and has set gestiegen on Kaltseir. The first set of Paladins set to kill him have not returned, so the Erleuchtet has issued a general call for warriors to journey to Blau Festung and kill the abomination. Swords and guns - Victorian era guns.
