The Laws of Valayo

Magic exists on Valayo, and while few can harness it to any great effect, it influences nearly all parts of life for most people.   Rules:
  1. Magic is a natural resource found just about everywhere on Valayo
  2. Few can access magic. Fewer still have great skill and the ability to weild high levels of magic
  3. Bloodlines tend to influence magical ability, but outliers and anomalies do occur
  4. Magic exacts a cost - use of magic can lead to fatigue, overexertion, and in extreme cases, even death
  5. Different cultures have different beliefs regarding magic that does influence how the people within that culture practice and even the type of magic they can access
 

Principal Geography & Features

At the moment, the storytelling and articles focus primarily on Wennovi, the western continent of Valayo. This is large continent that encompases a wide variety of ecosystems and landscapes, from the frigid northern moutains of Rhovan to the tropical regions of Salaris.

A Divided Land

One key landmark feature is the Great Divide, an impenetrable barrier that divides Wennovi into two subcontinents: Imbria, and Paltetia.

An impassible magical barrier that separates Wennovi into two lands: Paltetia where no magic is allowed and Imbria where magic flourishes

Initial Active Setting

This project more specifically focuses on Imbria, the eastern subcontinent of Wennovi, where magic is a ruling force and varies from country to country.   To start, readers will become most familiar with Salaris and their rival, Necros, though more of the land will be explored as well. In time, more locations may also be explored in depth.
