World Of WayfinderLC

History
Long ago there was once a time where humans were no different than the woodland animals that surrounded them  Living amongst the woodlands and beaches living a less grandiose but also simpler life. Till one day a god took notice of an exceptional man and gifted him the secrets of the world. Telling him how to lead humanity to prosperity, and build an empire that stretched to the horizon. The man was generous, and let all share in the new wealth, and even sharing the knowledge of the gods, and the spirit realm he obtained in return. Giving the gods something back in the form of followers to worship them, and spread word of their generosity. Still, no man is without folly, and when seeking to further humanity the Emporer tried to create a spirit as he was told the gods did. The result was...catastrophic. What was ripped from himself was nothing but pure hubris, and thus the first demon was born. Destroying the empire night, and causing the gods to believe humanity had betrayed them. With new gods the trust is finally restored, but the spirits of nature, and demons are still restless.

Science&Magic
Science is studied, but abstract and poorly understood by most. It mostly consist of things like how to make medicine and gunpowder rather then the physics of a build, and works threw a series of trial and error. While Magic works more like religion. In the call and use of deific powers, and aid from the spirits. Rarely channeling fireballs, but often causing strange, and abstract things to happen.

The spirits, and science follow the five basic elements of the world as well.

Apprenticeship & Acolytes
Even the faithful have to get a job. As you turned 13 you are forced to mesh with society, and find your own way in life while studying under the guidance of a master. Still you have plenty of free time, and time to experiment. For some reason many of the young now a days flock to religions, and become Acolyte's people who can see the spirit world, and deal with that in their daily life as well. Needless to say you as a player are both, and have a lot to juggle.

Spirits
The spirits of nature and their guidance was the very thing that enlightened you the point of becoming a Acolytei. Along with the gods they are the source of all that is on the earth, and on day our mortal soul will join them on the spiritual plane. As such the spirits ideas, and nature exude from every aspect of their being. Making them quite fickle and strange creatures living just outside of most mortals view, but still able to interfere with their daily lives. Still they're a great aid, and it's important to have a good relationship with.
