There are three different "verses" in this world. Two of which should be obvious, the "Light" Verse and the "Under" Verse. They've been at war for some time, always fighting in a verse between their own. They can't actually go to the opposite verse, their energies don't allow it, so they fight in a verse most commonly called by the other two as the "Unknown" Verse. Both the Light and Under verse have seen a few glimpses of the Inhabitants here, and decided to call the Verse, Unknown because they don't know what the local inhabitants call it. In fear of angering these possibly lethal, and / or numerable inhabitants, the two opposing Verses choose to fight in desert like environments, out in the open where there is nothing of value.
Unfortunately, neither verse has gained an upper hand in the war, and because of this neither one of the curious Lightlings or Underlings can send out a research team to reasearch the area, and possibly any inhabitants of this world. Of course, unless either side thinks they are winning, or are actually winning, no advancement in knowledge will be made.
Lightlings-
Their goal is to snuff out all of the Under Verse. And the sooner they get it done, the better. Nobody is quite sure why the high ranking officials hate the Under Verse so much. Perhaps it is because they are different. Either way, the soldiers and various Light users find their own reasons to hate the Under Verse. Such examples would be, they killed a comrade, or a false sense of evil is created. Either way, the only thing the higher-ups are telling the fighters, is to kill.
Under Verse-
The Light Verse started this whole war when Under Verse researchers were trying to find a way to access the Light Verse. They were suddenly attacked, and the entire team, slaughtered. Of course the Under Verse responded as if in War Time, and now they fight for the survival of their kind. They protect those who cannot fight back home, and will do anything to ensure their safety, even if it means death.
*Light Verse -
Their fighters are usually all-around combatants, and their spell casters cast positive and negative buffs on allies and enemies. There is no "name" for the Light Verse, except for "Light Verse". Except for the occasional bandits, they're pretty much united, and therefore instead of running into battle yelling, "FOR AIUR!!" (excuse my starcraftyness), or "For (insert order name here)" they pretty much yell "FOR LIGHT!". Going back to the class specifications, their warriors are either medium armor, or heavy armor. No light armor whatsoever, of course this makes them considerably slower than the average Under Verse warrior. Their spell casters are all Medium armor, almost no exceptions unless they are healers that need to be able to run around everywhere (i would hate my job) Their numbers are also in the medium range. They specialize in mostly defensive ventures, so don't be surprised if there's a fortress every 50 miles. It's just how they advance.
*Under Verse –
Their warriors are mostly light-armored lethal attackers. They have a special connection with an energy they call Kiodun, which allows them to perform feats the Light Verse couldn't imagine until encountering the Under Verse. They are relatively high in number, although the vast amount of their people are not united, so do not be surprised if they are screaming for victory for a separate faction, or if you witness them fighting themselves. If they all were to unite, they would probably crush the Light Verse's standing in the unknown verse in a matter of days, all in account for their extremely vast numbers, it would simply be overwhelming. Back to their energy called Kiodun. The fighters are spell-wilding swordsman (majority). They have focused half their energies on learning to fight with a blade, or another weapon(s) and the other half focusing on manipulating their own Kiodun. Under Verse spell casters, also known as Zealots focus all their time on mastering their Kiodun, and often become so powerful, they use to much energy and explode. Therefore, they are working on creating a balance between their life-force, and the Kiodun, to keep themselves intact while unleashing the majority of their locked powers. This of course, is relatively new, and exploding spell casters still often occur.
