In the vast and intricate world that Eli now calls home, the landscape is as diverse and complex as the realms themselves.
The Continents
This world is divided into five major continents, each with its unique geography, cultures, and challenges:
1. Avaloria: The largest continent, known for its lush forests, mighty rivers, and diverse ecosystems. It is home to numerous kingdoms and empires, making it a hub of trade and diplomacy.
2. Draconis: Named after the dragons that roam its mountainous terrain, this continent is characterized by towering peaks, deep valleys, and treacherous landscapes. It is sparsely populated but holds great natural resources.
3. Seraphica: Seraphica is a continent blessed with serene landscapes, including pristine lakes, rolling hills, and picturesque meadows. It is the heartland of elven civilization, where magic and nature intertwine.
4. Marinora: A continent primarily covered by vast oceans, Marinora is dotted with archipelagos and coastal cities. It is a center of maritime trade and exploration, inhabited by merfolk and coastal dwellers.
5. Nocturna: The mysterious continent of Nocturna is shrouded in perpetual darkness, illuminated only by the faint glow of bioluminescent flora. It is home to secretive and nocturnal creatures, as well as ancient ruins.
The Empires and Kingdoms
Within these continents, several empires and kingdoms wield power and influence:
1. The Celestial Empire: Spanning Avaloria, this mighty empire is known for its rich cultural heritage, technological advancements, and powerful military. It is ruled by an emperor who claims divine lineage.
2. The Dwarven Kingdoms: Located within Draconis, the Dwarven Kingdoms are a network of underground cities, each ruled by a different dwarf lord. They are renowned for their mastery of craftsmanship and the mining of precious gemstones.
3. The Elven Dominion: Seraphica is home to the Elven Dominion, a confederation of elven realms. It is characterized by a deep connection to nature and the practice of ancient magic.
4. The Coral Principalities: Marinora boasts a collection of underwater city-states known as the Coral Principalities, governed by merfolk rulers. They are skilled in sea navigation, trade, and marine magic.
5. The Shadow Empire: Nocturna is ruled by the enigmatic Shadow Empire, where the boundaries between light and dark are blurred. Little is known about its inner workings, as it remains shrouded in mystery.
