Abyssia Realm (A-bis-ia)
The 2nd Realm of Steam and Steel
Abyssia is the 1st of 3 documented Realms of Ravaryn. The Abyss is a cluster of debris, fallen from outer space, that has gradually formed chains of massive Islands, suspended by an unknown force in the atmosphere.
Society
Society of the Abyss is far more advanced than the other realms. Unknown metal scrap can be found all over Abyssia. Presumed to be remains of a previous civilization, but its origins are still unknown. This ancient technology is what Abyssia is founded on. With scrap being used as currency, and protection for certain races such as the Skrapr. Because of the abundance of raw materials and the influence of ancient technology that could be harvested, along with the natural conditions in Abyssia, society evolved far differently to life in the other realms. In the year 1316 BC, The Aetherian Monarchy was formed. This monarchy introduced the Aethar family as the ruling family in Abyssia. Chosen as the Aetherian race, in its language, came to be named after the family due to the members being related to the original ancestors of the race itself. This founding the The Aetherian Empire, naming the central region of the Abyssia Realm, Aetheria. Given this title after the massive city built upon it, acting as the capital for the Empire. The Empire sparked the age of exploration within the Abyss. Leading to the discovery of other intelligent races. The races of Skrapr, native to the Hallow region and the Twi native to the Highlands and outlands region, joining as citizens of the empire. With members of the Olympion race, after venturing into the explored regions of Ager Caeli and the outlands, joining the empire. The Olympions being natives of the Tempest region. The Aetherian Empire ruled as primary leadership within the abyss until 48bc, with the death of the 70th King of The Aetherian Empire, leading to the crowning of the 71st, King Scalious Aethar II. Scalious being the age of 21 at the time. Scalious enforced new laws within the Empire, laws targeting those not of the Aetherian race. This made him unpopular among many, leading to the The Olympion Independence. in 46bc. Leading to the formation of The Republic of Mytaele. A commonwealth of Olympion cities in the Tempest region. In 16bc, The Unification of Governments meant the Abyss was now accessible by races of Heliend and Terranial. However, this was heavily restricted by the 71st King. Although, due to the events of The Great Abyssia War, The Aetherian Empire was destroyed along with most cities under its rule. Furthermore, the last member of the Royal Aethar Family was killed, meaning the family's extinction. Most of Abyssian society travelled to the Terranial Realm, with the only remaining society with Abyssia being The Republic of Mytaele.Geography
The Abyss Realm is made up of a formation of space debris that is suspended in Ravaryn’s atmosphere. This debris over thousands of years formed into an agglomeration of islands. The islands became an assortment of minerals and old technology of a unknown past civilisation. Soon life started to grow upon these islands and plant life began to cover the islands.
Localized Phenomena
Because of where Abyssia is located, and the large amounts of Mana around specific areas within Abyssia , violent and harsh weather can be common. This is especially true in the Tempest region, where it is covered by electrostatic storms that never cease. The weather in tempest is so extreme that only one race in the abyss is able to pass through it, the Olympion. This due to them evolving to handle the conditions of the region.
Natural Resources
The Abyssian Islands mainly consists of Mafic rock from the moon. Because of this, Abyssia has high deposits of minerals such as iron and silicate minerals. This means iron is a very renewable resource in Abyssia, being used in many constructions. Additionally, found all around the Realm are scrap pieces of old ancient technology from a past civilization. The abundance of this scrap has lead to it being used as the primary currency in the Abyss, as well as being used to create armour and weaponry. Resources now are being used to rebuild the fallen realm, being collected by The Republic of Mytaele and the forces of Undulion.
History
The Abyss first began to form from broken off clumps of rock that descended from the moon, due to the destruction of an ancient machine, unknown to the residents of the Abyss, that is located inside the moon's inner structure. These clumps broke off and fell and became suspended in the upper atmosphere of Ravaryn, due to the gravitational flux caused by this machine.
Hundreds of these clusters crushed together and formed a chain of Islands, these clusters being primarily comprised of Mafic rock from the moon. This led to the clusters crushing into one another, revealing intrusive rock from the surface of the moon to create mountain ranges, similar to what could be seen on tectonic boundaries in Terranial. This also led to the creation of large desert regions from the crushed up moon debris, especially with the abundance of silicate minerals.
Years and years onward, pools of water began to shape due to condensation from clouds in the high atmosphere. This led to the beginning of life in Abyssia. Soon the massive islands were overtaken and enveloped in grass and flora. Furthermore, intelligent life became comprised hundreds of years later, leading to the 4 known races of intelligent life that have inhabited Abyssia for so long.
