The story of 'One Pure Soul' is set in a fantasy era, it is a mixture of the medieval times and the eighteen hundereds. This era does not have electronics, motor vehicles, and factories but they do have electricity.
The story takes place in a country called Cotrame. The country of Cotrame is made up of five ruling cities making this country and democracy, there is no king or queen but each city does have a governor keeping the city running. Each city is run by a governor and a church, the governor being a symbol of power or leadership for the city and the church being the symbol of peace.
Each church is run by Nuns and one High Priest or Priestess. In these churches, they don't worship one God but many, mostly the Gods of the four elements, fire, water, earth, and air, but many beliefs range throughout the country. The church does not only focus on worshipping a deity but the church also plays a major role in the running of the city.
The churches major role is taking in people whose souls have been corrupted by sin and save them. In this world, sin is like a sickness or disease, if it is not cured it can spread and kill. Mostly the church tries to save a soul before sin gets a chance to corrupt it, that's where the nuns come in. Nuns of the church focus on saving pure souls for that is all they have the power to do, nuns go through extensive training, mostly starting from the time they are six, to save souls. However, Nuns cannot save souls that have already been corrupted, only a High Priests/Priestesses can do that.
High Priests/Priestesses are blessed with the ability to save 'the souls of the damned' or corrupted souls. No one knows where the ability came from, but people say that it is a gift from the Gods. The one sign that a person is destined to be a High Priest/Priestess is by the color of their eyes, their eyes will usually be a bright green/blue color, the telltale sign in the eyes is if you look closely into them you can see mist, not covering their eyes but in their eyes, legends say that the mist in their eyes are souls that can be seen by said Priest/Priestess.
When a Priest/Priestess saves a corrupted soul it takes a portion of the Priest's/Priestess' life, its a small portion per person but after a while saving souls eventually kills the Priest/Priestess. Inevitably, they only live up to forty years, all depending on the state of the people in the city.
In this world a person's soul is the most important thing, what happens to a person's soul after they die can affect the entire world. When a person dies their soul is in a way recycled, but not reborn. When a soul is set free from its earthly shell it returns to the earth. If the soul is pure and untampered with sin it will give back to the earth creating more plants, water, and overall good weather. When a soul that is not saved is released back to the world it turns into natural disasters, plagues and tragdeies.
