Deriv

Hidden in the phlogiston from the other material worlds of the multiverse, and protected from planar travel by means of its world-gate being destroyed through a yet unknown act, Deriv is a place of magical wonders made mundane. The use of magic is so commonplace, all but the most oblivious are jaded to its presence.   Flying ships of all sizes, streak across the skies above cities and settlements alike, delivering cargo and passengers across the vast distances of Deriv. Spelljammer ships occasionally leave the world behind on a quest to hopefully discover other worlds, as philosophers and astronomers argue over the existence of other planets. Beneath the soaring ships, trains ride above rails arcing with lightning, for which the Lightning Rail gets its name. Used by wealthier citizens of the Provinces and large companies and corporations for logistics, the Lightning Rail brings the Provinces closer together than they already are, but stops are few and far between as they mostly go to and from larger cities and settlements.   King Antyonious Farghalm, of the former Farghalm Empire and the father of the three warring heirs to the throne, held a long lasting rule over the world. Now, three kingdoms, are locked in a struggle for control after the power vacuum left by their father. The wars between the Kingdoms have gone on for so long, that the children of Farghalm have long passed, but their ideals and wars continue to live on after their deaths.
