Academic Games

Event

The academic games are an annual event between the different guilds to access Mermesii’s governmental office. It is divided into 3 stages. The first one is the defense stage; it's a show of combat strategy and power to prove they can defend the city. The most talented guilds are selected for the second stage, of society and economy. In this stage, the candidate guilds engage in courtroom debate; through several trials on announced themes by a jury. The selected guilds then go through the third and most important stage: politics. The guild announce their campaign platform, which is then voted on by the citizens. A guild cannot remain in power for more than five years, but can be reelected after ten years of inactivity; however, elections and games are held yearly so in theory the party could change every year.

Andromeda

Planet,

Called Gamma-Andromeda by the Humans, Andromeda is one of the many life-bearing planets candidates for exploration. Andromeda is 0.8g and has one natural satellite. She revolves around her G-type star in 386 days and has 25 hour days, which makes it a very earth-like planet. Her climate is globally tropical, although she has ice caps on her poles. Her axis is quite perpendicular compared to her star, which makes seasons nonexistent. However, goddesses’ conflicts can disrupt the usually calm climate. Andromeda has an anomalous quality: for some reason, energy does not work the same way, and magic rules over the planet; human technology does not work here.

Andromeda Pantheon

Andromeda’s pantheon is composed of two major deities Kinem and Undal, and their ten daughters Keelai, Mantalune, Nolita, Tansa, Melariel, Umata, Anain, Zinya, Enael, and Alineim.

Kinem and Undal have disappeared, but their daughters continue to rule Andromeda in their own way. Although they may be said to be benevolent, malevolent, or neutral; they all have their good sides and bad sides. For more information, read the Andromeda’s Mythology Digest (COMING SOON)

Milk Magic

Magic

Milk magic is a low-level type of magic that simply consists of turning one's magic energy into milk. It is known of every women in Andromeda and is -mostly- used to feed babies. Many women need all their magic energy for their daily jobs and are likely to call for a milkmage's services. A milkmage's role is to provide milk for other mothers, and are also nannies.
However, milk magic provides a sensation of pleasure and lust, specially during lactation. Many women become addicted to this sensation and naturally chose milkmage as a job ; and so it is not a very famed status for this deviant images it suffers from, but it is necessary.
Milk magic is the corner stone of a dozen breasts-zealots cults , which are forbidden in many regions of Andromeda.

Milk magic naturally occurs during a breast orgasm : the bigger the breasts are, the more likely their are to lactate during orgasm. Lactation can also happen when magic energy is forced into the breasts, as a natural defense mechanism to avoid any dammage to the breasts tissues.

They live a kind of free life, in contact with nature, lazing around, enjoying the pleasures the world has to offer, and not being material at all but civilized nonetheless. Niitas are mostly females, due to an intervention from Keelai. Due to the Niitas’s natural overwhelming sexual appetite they had an exceedingly high birth rate, until Keelai decided that men would be only one birth out of a hundred. This is why the Niitas are the only race where men have a decent status, and Keelai not appreciated by them as much as the other races of Andromeda.

Refinement

Magic ability

Refinement is the degree of power per volume a female magic user has (Desaens, Sarins, Niitas, etc). Each female individual has a different capacity and refinement degree, depending on how kind Keelai was to her. Using magic reduces breast volume proportional to the amount of magical energy expended, and so the refinement degree influences how much her breasts shrink when casting spells. Therefore, huge breasts do not necessarily insane power. When breast capacity is not at its maximum, magic energy is produced, and the breasts swell until the body’s natural limit is reached. The refinement degree can be trained and improved in the long-term trough daily training. Breast capacity can also be improved in the same way. One of the most well-known techniques is to force magic into breasts already at full capacity using a kamelite crystal, which are rare and sought-after.

Sarin is the main and more widespread race on Andromeda, and are the creation of Keelai. They are humanoids with elfin features of whom only women can use magic power.

How men are treated can vary from place to place, but they are most likely working class or slaves.

Tansa created the Niitas, a small population living in her affiliated region Tansaia, around the Shallow Sea. The fate of the Niitas is a source of conflict between Tansa and Keelai, because Keelai forced Tansa to change them as they were multiplying too quickly for her taste and saw it as a menace to the Sarin.
