Amer Lands

The Amer lands are old but the life in it is quite young, and sentient life is even younger. 60.000 years ago the gods of the Amer Lands created life after a long war between them that lasted eons, an some time later roughly 23000 years ago they created the first sentient species. Instead of creating a perfect lifeform each god made one specie according to his ideals but they revealed themselves as a collective pantheon to the mortals making what is for most people an species the unique true religion. Regardless of that some scholars say that he life and even sentient life may be older than that, despite of a great lack of evidence against it but that was good enough for some people that became non belivers
