The Isles

The Isles are an isolated archipelago surrounded by the world's ocean. Consisting of the four main islands of Gristol, Morley, Serkonos, and Tyvia, as well as a series of lesser islets, the Isles form one of the world's two documented landmasses, the other being the distant Pandyssian Continent. Although human civilization in the Isles spans at least four thousand years, an event known as The Great Burning nearly two thousand years ago destroyed practically all traces of any prior history and culture. At the present time, the Isles are ruled under a united government, the Empire of the Isles, which was founded in the year 1625 of the modern calendar following the War of Four Crowns.
