Darphopia

Darphopia is the godless land.

God was felled many years ago. His power was stolen and dispersed across the land, and years later, Darphopia was born. This is a land of the future that is heavily rooted in the past. A land of monarchies, classes, and greed. The Darphopians have a culture all their own in which technology no longer exists; there is no need for it when everyone has access to the power of God, now deemed the Power Omnipotent.

In Bladelheim, one of the three reigning kingdoms, there is tension between Prince Riki Yamamoto and his brother, Prince Akuni. The kingdom is on the verge of bankruptcy, and while Prince Akuni wishes to free the kingdom's slaves, Prince Riki acknowledges that the slave trade is their largest source of income and would rather find another way. However, when the king steps down, and Prince Akuni takes his place, he banishes his brother Riki to the wilds of Darphopia.

Stripped of the status of royal, Riki travels across Darphopia, wondering how he might take Bladelheim back from his brother and ensure that his kingdom remains safe under his rule.

And perhaps Riki will learn much about himself along the way.
