The Magocracy of Rose

Rose’s Magocracy emerged from a small team of wizards who defended one of the Amber Trees against monsters from the Crater. Led by Meriel Roserise, a witch of immense power, the group grew from a guild into a state and eventually became the cradle of magic in the world of Vitallia. Over time, Rose evolved into a kingdom where magic thrives and is taught in schools. However, the strict monarchy of the queen has caused turmoil and distress across the nation.
