-Our Brief History- The Sugar Islands started out as a trade stop island chain in the East Tellen Ocean. When the original ancient people called the Samarans started to die because of foreign disease other civilizations began to take over. The tribal people were almost all wiped out. There were medocre wars over the islands until they were divided among the covvens. Four major covvens took hold of the four main islands and now share a small and silent cold war between them all.
The Islands in question are Tempes Major, Isla Moa, Filean Fila, and Yamia. Tempes Minor, which resided northeast of it's large sister, was destroyed in a volcanic eruption, causing the entire island to sink into the ocean, never to be found again. Rumor says that an old tribal treasure sank with the island.Tempes Major is ruled by Emporer Crispen and is overrun with the Lamia or vampiric like people. The are very different from their shadow cousins and can walk in the sun. However, they can only feast on blood and have agreed to only feed on the blood of livestock and animals, though some younger Lamia sneak humans to the islands. The land on this large island is almost completely flat with some hills in the center with small forests and beaches at its edges. It's Capital: Opensia.Isla Moa is inhabitted by a wide aray of races and there is no majority. It is the most peaceful of the four islands and is ruled by King Yulen and Queen Casia. Though a scandal threatens the royal family. Rumors have been floating around that Casia has had an affair and even a child with Emporer Cripsen. This Island is somewhat wooded on the center and fields until you get to it's clifs on the Western border and beaches on the East. Its Capital: Merrioan.
Yamia is home to demons a plenty. It is a heavily forrested islands with rainforests covering its whole land. Many don't venture there unless brave enough. It holds the town of Carvington on its edge which is widely known as a pirate town. Yamia currently has no ruler because the twins supposed to inherit the throne are fighting over the crown. Yamia's Capital: Briger.
Filean Fila is known as the magic Isle. Here many seek inner questioning and the beautiful temples errected here. Priests, warlocks, wizards, witches, and sorcerors can feel the magic floating around this whole island and go here to drink it all in. The ruler of the flowering and field covered island is Queen Massiah who had recently lost her husband and is preparing her daughter, Princess Diamond, to rul, but Diamond is a flighty spirit that wants nothing to do with the throne and would rather run away with the rogues that litter Filean Fila. Capital: Grandrean City.
Timeline and Setting: We have entered an age of advance technology, but only those on Isla Moa and Filean Fila have truly grasped it. Yamia refuses to touch it as do many of the pirates, though some have grasped it and are using it to their advantage. Isla Major stays perfectly ignorant and stays with its traditional and old ways that seem to be doing just fine.

Races, Castes, & Covvens Races-Lamia- Vampire like without the weakness to sun. Must still only drink blood, but have some-what of a truce that says they will only feed on livestock and cattle.Lupine- These are lycan or werewolf like beings that have a changing pattern effected by the moon and its phases. Though some are tempermental many are tame and even hospitible while changed.Koenka- Half Bloods of any two races. They are usually welcomed everywhere in the Sugar Islands, but the royal and noble Lamia usually shun such mixes.Humans- Um.. must I explain? Yes, humans can use magic, but the must learn it and are not born with the power like witches, wizards, etc.
Magicks- Wizards, witches, sorcerors, and the like. They are humanoid beings that have an uncanny power of the magic arts. They are born with the power adn brought up to do great things. However, they are rare and they do not reproduce very fast. A female Magick can have a baby maybe once in her lifetime.Demons- This category is very wide. A demon is a humanoid and animal liek creature that has power shrouded and confusing. Some are savage while others are educated and such. They remain mostly on Yamia but do occasionally travel to the other islands.
Samarans- These are descendants and very rarely some of the original people that have lived and prosperred here before others came. Not a lot is known about them, but they have been believed to worship dark gods and are brave fighters. There are whispers of an up-rising.The Castes-
Royalty- Sometimes they have much power, a lot of the time, they are simple center pieces for the islands.Nobility- The higher-ups with all the power. Through bribery, seduction, black-mail, and many other dastardly deeds they tend to keep a tight grip on the way the government works, whether they admit it or not.
Priests- Each island has many priests in many sects. The Religions here are mostly polytheistic with many gods ruling over the elements and nature.
Working Class- These are the working and managing men adn women that have money to get by comfortably, but have no official or noble blood. They are commoners and are content with simple lives.
Laborers/ Slaves- The underclassmen that, depending on their owners or managers, can live very nicely or very badly. It varies from place to place. Most slaves wish for Isla Moa because the peopel there are very, very nice. Yamia has very little slavery on it because demons often fend for themselves. Slavery is not race based. They are usually captured war prisoners from distant lands.Rogues/Pirates/Thieves- The class you are not born into. This is the caste you choose and take on yourself. This is a dark and shadowed caste that one must be brave to join.
Occupations. Positions. Etc.-Royalty Noble Comomoner Servant Slave Thief Rogue Pirate Treasure-hunter Explorer Sailor Trader Bard Merchant Priest Teacher I could go on...
