E'atvala

"E'atvala.
The cradle of civilization, some call it.
But I see it for what it truly is.
Opportunity.
The squabbles of countries baying at eachother for more territory...
And all the while they ignore the true dangers lurking within their borders.


The Scar.
The Shattenwald.
The darkness amongst their own ranks.

I pray to the Goddesses that they see to it soon,
for such a beautiful land as this can not be squandered."


-The Prophet of Vinthras

Overview

E'atvala is amongst the oldest formed continents on the surface of Aeddemel, boasting one of the larger landmasses and highest populations of any continent due to its sprawling cities, towns, and road networks that connect all but the most humble of villages and settlements. The diversity of the continents biomes are also quite extreme, boasting cold southern tundras and mountain ranges, to boreal forests, and the warm archipelegos to the north west and east. This gives the people and races of the land a strong amount of diversity, even those of the same race sharing both physical and intellectual differences that can put them at odds with one another if they come together.
The continent is split into six countries, each with their own governments, beliefs, and political bases. The borders have been established long ago, and very rarely do they shift, only having changed on all maps a little over two hundred years ago during the conflict between the Principality of Sophinheim and the Daireski Dynasty. This conflict was called The Bloody Bay Massacre, and is a stark reminder to both nations of the animosity shared between them.
