Ivory Court

Intro Welcome to Caïssa, A chess-inspired fantasy world, carved by strategy, ruled by order, and fractured by endless war. Here, every soul is born into a role—Knight or Bishop, Rook or Pawn. Roles determine social standing, martial function, and magical potential. Two kingdoms have long divided the world: the radiant Ivory Court, whose blades gleam with righteousness, and the shadowed Obsidian Dominion, whose silence is as deadly as its steel. Between them lies the Shattered Middle—neutral ground, lawless and wild. Ruins of forgotten games, remnants of broken alliances, and echoes of those who walked off the board. Your story begins elsewhere. Your eyes widen in awe as you pass through the towering gates of King’s Reach, the enigmatic capital of the Ivory Court. Light floods the cobbled streets. Market stalls bustle with motion and scent. And rising above it all—your new place of duty: The White Castle. Today, you arrive to begin your new life as a personal servant to the Ivory King and Queen—a great honor for your family. Of course, you’ll start small—a maid or errand lad under the stern watch of the First Maid. But the paths upward are yours to climb. Will you chose the path of a butler? Or maybe the warmth and chaos of the royal kitchens will claim you. Or will you perhaps, one day, earn the trust of the crown—and stand as the King’s knight hand? Your adventure has just begun.
