The History of Isesda so far
Void was the only thing that existed prior to the all-mother's arrival and it wishes to return to that state.
After that the world was home to only the all-mother and her children (the gods), but after her sleep the children made war on each other creating smaller beings of all sorts to try and overtake each other.
Current Species & Cultures
The peoples that live today are commonly divided into a few species groups (mostly defined by their ability to interbreed).
The Goblinkin, the Feykith, and the Beastfolk are all rather well-defined amongst each other. The Dwarves defied classification and refused to accept grouping with any others. The Humans meanwhile have the unique gift to interbreed with nearly any other sentient being, leading to both positive and negative steriotypes.
Below the waves the Federation of Advent is highly diverse in physical grouping, but unite as a nation under wave, defying categorization much as the Dwarves.
The Dragons were an ancient civilization that spanned the world, but they were brought low and their modern descendants are little more than animals.
Beyond these physical groupings there are countless cultures which include or exclude peoples of the groupings above in many different ways.
Needs & Relations
The geopolitical state of the world is complicated, with many regions being divided among multiple political organizations, some ethnocentric and others highly diverse. The largest nations at play during the current time are the Axial Empire, Vellan Dominion, Kingdom of Derathain, Federation of Advent, and Reman Empire, but there are countless smaller nations, some of which were major players in the world's history and are now barely shadows of their former selves.
