A young messenger ran through the streets of Allistre, the capitol of Terralucis, shouting bloody murder. He needed to get this news to Palace Quickly. It was back The Mist was back. It had been before his time, but he knew it was it. The Red Mist is back, and therefore the people who made it are back. He ran into the palace, and right up to the king, Interrupting a meeting about the princess's fate in marriage. "The Mist! It's back! We're going to die."
Then he keeled over with exhaustion.
A Messenger on the other side of the World ran through the streets of New Gear City, the Capital of Mechan. He was calm and collected, but moving with an urgency that would impress anyone. He made it up to the Palace in under ten minutes. He ran up the steps and into the main hall. When questioned about what he was doing he saluted and said, "The Mist is Back. If I am able to make a suggestion, it would be to mobilize the army."

Background
The Schism.
The Schism Refers to the time the technology driven Gears left the Magic based Lucites, in a peaceful revolution. The Gears moved to the North East Mountain Range. The Lucites Still cover the Southern Coast. They now have a trade route known as the Technomagic Trail.
The Mist.
The mysterious natural occurrence of the Western Mountains. It is created by creatures known only as Mishuls. They are vicious creatures, very animistic and very dull. Or at least that's what the people of the two new countries...
The War.
The realization hit them like a battering ram. Literally. A huge battering ram smashed the walls of both the capital cities. It was the work of the Red Mist's true creators. Sentient Beings who called themselves Spectres they form the mist when they feed, and needless to say, the land of Ardim was covered in red mist. They feed on other forms of sentience, like humans, elves, orcs and fae.
The Victory.
Eventually, the United Armies of Ardim defeated their enemies at the Battle of the Black Plain. That area is now a blackened patch of earth, saturated with the blood of Spectres. The land is decimated and useless.
The Return to Order.
The Realm eventually got back to order. The Lucites continued practicing magic, with minor machines here and there, and vice versa with the Gears, Technology with a little magic (mainly as high powered fuel). The Orcs Moved back to their plains, the elves to their woulds as the fae had done.The gnomes and Dwarves moved closer to the Gears, preferring their technology to the magic of the Lucites. The Gears created a fleet of flying ships that took them around the world, to new continents with new people. Their are even some trying to blast off into the celestial sea. The Mist hasn't been seen for one hundred years.
The Return of the Mist.
The Mist Returned. No one knows why or how, but the mist is back. Until now, all the Spectres were believed to be dead. Small Battalions even went to the mountain to kill off any extra forces they had there. But now their feeding.
Characters
They can be any type of mythical creature, from dwarves to dragonkin. They can be from different planes of existence, just as long as their similar. I don't want a laser rifle in this game. If It's an off the beaten tract type of character, send me a description of the race. Also certain races belong to one of the two countries, read the "Return to Order" section on the background section. So tell me the races "Kingdom Affinity" (Gears or Lucites), if they have one (i.e. the Orcs- their are not affiliated with either people, but they're friendly- sort of.).
That's the general things to think about, just make sure that your characters are original.
Also, think of Lucites as more British Type people, and Gears like American. Gears think Lucites are snobbish and Lucites look to Gears as little more than animals. Even parties are different. The gears have more modern sounding music, whereas Lucites tend to waltz and do other ballroom dances. The most extreme dance in Terralucis is a Ballet called "The Schism". The Gears wear metallic color clothing that is modern style. The Lucites wear light clothing of a more Victorian-style clothing. The gears wear more functional clothing. They have light armor,mostly on their chest, hands and feet. The Lucite rangers dress in similar armor, but their warriors have heavy armor.
Also there is a group of non-affiliated people known as Crosses. They embrace both Lucite and Gear ways, although they prefer one. They know both are required to make a successful society, For example, Gears have a great economy, but a high crime rate and Lucites can not produce energy or goods as quickly, but they mostly have petty theft. Many Crosses are the outcast of the major countries. They live in a small village in the middle of the Grand plains, along side the Orc's Tribe. (Only 2 Crosses will be in this RP, the Gear Outlaw and the Lucite Convict)
