The first installment of this World dives into the dreams of a dragon. Peace is forever out of their reach. War is all it knows, and you are caught in the midst of it.
World View of S�taq
WORLD MAP: As known.
There is one (very large) continent known as Eseran, and one (equally large) ocean known as Viraga. The coasts on either side of the continent are littered with countless islands of which few humanoids live upon; they are small but uninhabitable by humanoid kind. A string of islands known as the Forbidden Isles stretch far and wide in a distant ring about the continent; these are the islands of the dragons and drakes. At one time, a large island half the size of Eseran had been raised to fly among the clouds as the first home of sky elves and winged creatures. It was the �seat of the world� or the Chaei�ha in Elfish.
The Continent of Eseran
Most of what makes up Eseran are villages strewn across the continent. There are two major cities, one being Illiara which supplies something close to electricity and is the center of technology, the other being the eastern port city, Tirany. To the west, a port city known as Pallinar rules the plains, Auro�nahrah is the capital of the Elven kingdom, second only to Tal�monlay in the middle of the Tal�fraer Bay. Farther south and west is the capital of the Barren Wastes, Syn�alondah, home to the twin towers of Lyre and Pyre.
a. In the North
The Mountains are located mostly here. It is comprised of one province known as the Winterwards. It is also the major staple of Brigand (bandit) movements. It is thought that this province has no true capital, however, there is a Keep far to the North in which orders are given to outlying branches of forts and outposts kept by dwarves.
b. In the South
The desert known as the Ku'Ai or Barren Wastes. A barren, lifeless expanse with few oases in which to tend yourself.
c. In the West
The Soiagth (Soy) Plains, home of the common Centaur race and Halflings of varying degrees. Much of the area is farmland that produces enough food to sustain much of Eseran.
d. In the East
The coastal city of Tirany as well as the Deep Fell, home to the most horrid of creatures and the stomping grounds of many feuding Lords and Ladies vying for control of Tirany's rich commerce. This area was thought to be a well of dark magic, a tale recalling the last battle of the Celestial Wars between the deities and their dragon children.
The Sky and Space
a. Lenyriah
The largest of three moons (actually a planet). It has a grayish tint. The name, Elfish, meaning "Wasteland" fits it superbly as from what was known before Rivervale's ruination.
b. I'sys
The smaller blue (ice) moon that revolves around Lenyri, thought to be the home of the Goddess.
c. V'nir
The red (fire) moon of equal size to I'sys that revolves about Lenyri and the World on a rough figure eight track. It is thought to be the home of the Crystal Deity.
d. Constellations
There are numerous constellations from varying standpoints. Many mages believe the stars can tell the future, other mages believe that the stars are really the Gods, and other mages believe that the only use of the stars is to guide one�s soul into the Haven Fields. Scientists that have studied the stars repeatedly state that the stars are in fact guides, but not in the way the Mages believe. The stars are useful as a biological clock to determine harvest time for the farmlands. One of the most famous of constellations is of the Harvest Hunter that appears during the times to harvest and plant.
