Rivabrin

Welcome to the world of Rivabrin. This massive world is teaming with life and has abundant settlements and its fair share of challenges. The world has been around for as long as written history has existed. No one knows exactly how or when or even why it was created, and more importantly, no one knows WHO created it. the gods ruled the land and created giants and dragons to rule over as their own subjects; however, the world became threatened by an ancient evil and in preventing it from reaching the world, the gods sacrificed their mortal bodies and disappeared from the land. Such a tremendous power wave was unleashed after this, the body of land that was once called Pangeae was shattered, forming the world of Rivabrin. No one besides very few giants and dragons remember this.   Giants and dragons went into seclusion after this. T   Upon the end of the reign of the gods, all races that inhabit the world were created, other than giants and dragons, without a written history of what happened after. After their creation, they all settled and massive settlements were erected. The majority of the world's races are human with dashes of the rest thrown in. Some races dislike humans due to the fact that humans kicked them out of their land in order to settle massive kingdoms and rule it as their own domain. The main continent that was formed after The Great Shatter was Lamprey, which is where our adventure begins.   Lamprey is a wide spanning continent that appears to be the majority of land that once split off from Pangaea, or the world before the split when gods walked among the people. Has many different wilds, including a heavily wooded area called Hierophant, a desert called Skophos, a beach area called Nyxus, and many plains, marshes, and mountainous terrain to connect them all together called the Badlands, there is also a very mountainous region to the north called Elandrous and the wide-open sea in all directions called the Oread. Has many villages spread far and wide with much unsettled land in between them. Monsters and foes live in the unsettled lands. The humans that live here are widely referred to as “Outkasts.”   iii. Skophos is majority human (40%) with around 25% Dragonborn and 10% half-orc. There are large settlements of orcs that are aggressive to all races in this area. The remaining 25% is made up of a combination of gnomes, halflings, and dwarves with some elves (the majority are dwarves). Tebaxi from here as well as many half-orcs (offspring of humans and orcs) due to the fact that many orc settlements lie here and to the north along the border it shares with Alandrous.   iv. Elandrous is home to the mighty dwarven race. Harsh conditions proved unfavorable for humans and they left the mountainous region for the dwarves who have massive settlements built in the stone. This region is predominantly dwarves (50%), with 20% gnomes and 20% halfling. The remaining 10% are humans and half-orcs that have taken a liking to live with the dwarves. Giants are from here as well. Many orc settlements lie in the stony crags of the mountains, and especially beyond the peaks to the Stormcrag Coast.   v. Nyxus is a coast city that is inhabited by many human trading settlements; however, the coast is always threatened by the monsters of the deep sea. Some Tritions have been known to wander out of the deep sea and live on the shore; however, Tritons typically only live in the Oread on the sea floor. It has long been thought that the ruins of many ancient civilizations fell off of the world in The Great Shatter and now serves as a home to the sentient forms of life in the Oread.
