Baephios

Baephios is the most whimsical and adventurous continent on Baltharos, a land where myths breathe, magic saturates the soil, and childhood stories often turn out to be true. It is divided into four vastly different nations: the orderly and devout Vridium Empire, the opportunistic and free-spirited Noclon Confederation, the enchanting and magically prosperous Vaera Kingdom, and Zochakha, a swampy wilderness of monster races bound by a tenuous pact of non-aggression with their neighbors. Adventurers thrive here, joining guilds to hunt monsters, chase legends, and discover treasures, while commoners struggle as magic and prosperity make traditional labor increasingly obsolete.   At the continent’s heart lies Fable Falls, a sacred paradise watched over by metallic dragons, where Bahamut God-King of Dragons, once presided as protector of the land. But Bahamut has vanished, 257 days gone without a trace, leaving mortals and gods alike uncertain as to his fate, especially with his sister Tiamat goddess of Chromatic Dragons, sealed beneath the Vridium Empire, potentially poised for freedom. Recent shifts in power have further destabilized Baephios: every nation has seen new leadership rise on the same day, from King Jonathan Rigby VIII in Vridium to Wise Master Siora Cockh in the Vaera Kingdom, Dante Burrowson in the Noclon Confederation, and Queen Bonku "The Wild" in Zochakha. Some whisper of divine manipulation, others suspect mortal schemes, but none can deny that the continent is changing. Despite its dangers, from cursed frozen plains to skybound islands riddled with monsters, Baephios remains a land of ambition and adventure, where dreams are as likely to kill you as they are to make you legendary.
