Karnonde

The continent of Karnonde is slowly recovering from a cataclysmic event - The Clash - now centuries in the past. The empires of yore have fractured under the burden of recovery, and new states have risen to reclaim what was lost - or forge their own path amidst the rubble of the forgotten and monstrous offspring of the cataclysm.   With the monsters and chaos of the Clash came two blessings - the first being the rise of New Gods. The New Gods, with the deities Pomelia and Foenar at the forefront, dispelled the chaos and monsters in the following 70 years. Now all the gods - 13 of them within Dektrian faith - have become dormant, waiting for the next moment the world spirals into chaos and despair.   The second blessing was the emergence of the magical ways of Channeling and Conjuration, and later the scientific methods of Alchemy. The advances through the years have evolved all types to be intricate: Alchemy requires extensive studying and good knowledge of formulae, Conjuration demands the user to maintain control of themselves even under stress, and Channeling asks for special circumstances, mainly heritage, to align perfectly to unleash the mightiest spells.
