Anastasia

The final parting of a once great and conjoined world. An ethereal disconnect has separated the continent by an endless ocean, trapping the people on either side. The worlds torn asunder begin to find their footing in this strange new place of change.

  In the beginnings of the world of Anastasia, Four men of metal saught refuge from the terrors of nature. From where they came, they did not know, but their bodies brought with them a terrifying power. They traveled throughout the land in search of a place to call home.

These men of metal brought about the spark that birthed the modern age of invention and strife, before them, the world was at a peaceful pace, like a child's heavy breaths deep in its slumber. But the world has awoken to those around it, and this stirring commotion was what begun the Parting Wars, previously called the Wars of Colliding Grudges. These small scale declarations lead to massive buildups of stading armies amongst the realms, and combining of forces into massive factions vying for power. The final battles scarred the land, and as the blood of the warriors pooled into the great lake Ashaad, A crystaline fracture tore the world in two, birthing the Ashaadi Abyss. An endless deviding ocean that now keeps the continents adrift.
