Eumaea

Eumaea is a world comprised of multiple continents of diverse peoples, grand cities, dangerous wilderness, and hidden magic. While most of its inhabitants may never see magic, it is there for those who look for it.

Lands

Draydar

The continent of Draydar was once ruled by the mighty Altiris Covenant, a noble nation of mighty magic and unimaginable technology. However, over time the nation collapsed, and its people fled to the ends of the continent, forming the modern-day nations of the The Vesperin Empire and the The Kingdom of Guardia. The two nations have been at war off and on for nearly their entire history, vying for territory as well as possession of hidden artifacts from the days of the Altiris Covenan.

Raiji

The nation of The Raiji Shogunate is an ancient land of tradition, mysticism, discipline, and vast natural beauty. Up until a few decades ago, Raiji was ruled by its emperor, however when one of the emperor's shoguns, Nobunaga Orochi, assassinated the emperor, the nation fell into a chaotic civil war, with each shogun attempting to amass power and unite the country once more under his own rule.

Dunia

Dunia is one of the main continents of Eumaea, located to the southwest of Draydar. It is covered partially by the Ihlashana Jungle, the Intaba Mountains, and the plains and steppe of the Tiantang plains. The continent is home to the Tianshi Dynasty, the Jivan Collective, and the Makoi Republic. The name is derived from the G'aarjyan word for "lowland" in reference to its large jungle and extensive wetlands. However, the people of the Tianshi Dynasty refer to it as Tianguo, meaning "Realm of Heaven" in Tianshi.

Sfväldin

Sfväldin (pronounced SSVAAL-din) is a continent in the southern hemisphere of Eumaea. It reaches down towards the world's south pole, and most of the continent is covered in taiga, cold mountains, and tundra. It is largely considered a difficult place to live for many races, however Ghavocûmn, a dwarven nation, has prospered here for milennia, largely due to their hardiness, as well as the fact that many of their cities are built partially or wholly underground, where climate is less of a concern. Sfväldin is located south of Draydar and to the southeast of Dunia.

The Ninefold

The Ninefold are the nine major deities that represent the nine moral alignments. Their worship and presence are commonplace in Eumaea, particularly Querina and Aldir. Which deity might your character worship?  

Magic

Magic is rare in Eumaea compared to other fantasy settings. Your average farmer may go their entire lives without seeing magic, though the arcane and divine teachings exist to be found by those who seek them. Within major cities, use of magic may be frowned upon or outright disallowed. Magic items are subsequently rare, and unconventional sources may be sought in order to procure them.
