Niorath
Scene
The Laws of Niorath
At one point the Gods lived on Niorath. Their civilizations at that time are collectively known as the Asmer. They left behind ancient technology which can still be found in the most dangerous places of Niorath. When they left the planet an even called Magicfall changed the world forever. It was the event that created the Falls, magical infused crystals, and which gave magic to the people of Niorath. Originally magic was limited to those born with magical abilities but over time people learned to use the Falls to create more casters. But since this is a costly method it remained mostly reserved for the well off.
Cosmology
Most religions of the world say that the universe was created by a single god who became dormant after Magicfall. They believe that the universe itself was created from the Primal Chaos itself which was molded by the all-creator into Nervonia. Not content with this creation the all-creator decided to use the essences of the realms of Nervonia to create the universe around it. Near death experiences do confirm this view to a degree. People who nearly died remember flying through the Nervonia Nebula and seeing all of the different realms before reaching the Divine realms. Some even say that they were able to see the Primal Chaos from there. After the Magicfall which gave magic to the people of Niorath the gods have become more silent but not fully gone.
Principal Geography & Features
The world of Niorath is a temperate world with an abundance of different biomes. Deserts and jungles are more common around the equator and cold climates can be found around the poles. But there are still several strange areas as well. Every continent has at least one area influenced heavily by magic from the Realms of Nervonia. Both Oneraga and Aelerium have areas with floating islands and in some places giant crystals protrude from the ground. There are vast underground areas known as the Lower Realms which are even dangerous for experienced adventurers. Some areas of the world are even known for their very active volcanoes with large magma streams. The Mizarin Jungles are home to gigantic trees in which some people of Niorath have made their homes. But the most dangerous places of all are the Chaos areas. These locations are heavily corrupted by dark magic at some point during the history of Niorath. Among these are the Silent Forest, a mostly petrified forest, and the ruins of Bagor, an area surrounded by blighted earth.
Initial Active Setting
The story in the beginning focuses mainly on Terios, a country in eastern Farlis. But as the plot advances it becomes clear that the adventurers will need to travel to other countries of Farlis and even some remoter areas to stop the impending doom.
