Tellus

The world of Aio came to be following the destruction of Abeir-Toril during an event known as the Sundering. During this event the lands were shattered and sunken. The lands lost to the sea then resurfaced in the form of Demiplanes connected to the Material Plane through gates known as the Astral gates. Non-human races call the Demiplanes their home while humans and few other intelligent races were left with 3 remaining continents and a vast sea dotted with remnants of the old world.    Vrellez, the far eastern continent of The Material Plane is one that has massively impacted life for all. Known for it's technological advances and the reign of The Lady of Blood, Elizabeth Yharnam, who resulted in the sealing of The Astral Gates due to her infamous cruelty. Other than Vrellez however, the other major continents are known as Talenrûn and Midlothyn. The war-torn continent of Talenrûn is divided between two countries with clashing viewpoints. The country of Xánrisa and the country of Heracleion. On one end, bracing the harsh desert land, scavenging the sands for a semblance of work while traveling from oasis town to oasis town, are the people of Heracleion. Many religious, the harsh environment of Heracleion has made it’s people sturdy. While at the other end, toward the east of the continent is the vast plain and mountain filled lands of Xánrisa. It’s people living in a rich and layered society, in which commerce is an ample and learned subject. Which pale in comparison only to the strength of the governing power’s martial capability. Rich in knowledge, great schools riddle the land of Xánrisa, but their war with Heracleion is one based upon religious beliefs. Beliefs that each culture holds dearly, and as such the conflict between the two has spanned generations.
