The world of Nuarth is not fully explored.
Many races and creatures exist on Nuarth, some humanoid, some maow.
The Known World is listed below. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The North continent |
|
|
|
Tierra: |
|
|
|
The setting of most of the series, located along the mid-Atlantic coast. |
|
|
|
|
|
Helena: |
|
|
|
Dictatorship south of Tierra across the Ghost Sands, occupying the south-eastern corner of the North continent. |
|
|
|
|
|
Matsuuri
Empire: |
|
|
|
A fanatically religious empire that is fairly simple in structure but expansive in lands. A large sea cuts between the northern continent and the southern continent, and most of the northern edge of that southern continent is farmed and ruled by the Matsuuri--smaller "wild" nations riddle the jungles and keep the Empire from spreading further south.
The Matsuuri have a good amount of grassland holdings in the southern edge of the northern continent, bordered to the west by wildlands guarded by maow, to the north by the kingdom of Saiton, and to the east by the lands of Tourbi.
Overall, they despise magic, and have for generations uncounted waged war with the "foul demon-worshipping witches" of the other countries, though they are on good terms with the peaceful Saiton. They are very low technology and thus not much of a threat currently. |

|
Tourbi: |
|
|
|
A nation that lies between Helena and the Matsuuri Empire, bordered to the north by both Saiton and Sylvan territories. The society is run by the mage-born, all others without magic are treated as like slaves. Thieving is a common vocation among the non-mageborn. The wizards are very used to getting their way, and hierarchy is only based on how powerful a mage one is, so duals and tests are commonplace as wizards try to advance their rank.
They have nuetral relations with Saiton, though the sylvans still hold a serious grudge and dislike for the Tourbi due to things that happened over 1300 yrs ago (you don't touch the sylvan's forests.) Tierra and Helena are rather cool in their relations with the Tourbi over the same incident, and as such, Tourbi keeps to itself, toying with the Matsuuri to keep itself occupied. |

|
Saiton: |
|
|
|
A peaceful kingdom that is only hostile when its lands are threatened. Rather SCAdian in nature. |

The Middle Sea |
|
|
|
All of the islands in the sea that lies between the North and the South continents are home to various Roam tribes and wild peoples and maow.
The Roam have a land-side base on the largest of the islands, where they farm various fruits for trade to other nations.
Floating Roam cities are common and nearly "permanent" in the sea. |

|
The South continent |
|
|
|
The northern edge is ruled by the Matsurri, while other "wild" tribes and nations dot the landscape beyond, full of kingdoms and nations and empires that are of unknown borders. Comet Corp has a few settlements full of diplomats and researchers and explorers--mostly people working to uncover Ancient technology--dotting the continent. |

|
Beyond the Ocean |
|
|
|
To the far east are lands ruled by various maow species and people. A culture that calls themselves the Sidhe are the major power there aside from a feline humanoid maow, and Comet has yet to establish any holdings there.
To the west across an even wider ocean are various Roam islands and then a vast wild continent settled similarly to the South Continent, though with many wide areas ruled by nomads and rough mountain regions left uninhabited by humans. In some places, dragons rule the people. In others, they coexist peacefully, as in Tierra. One place is as high-tech as Tierra and is cooperating in space exploration. |
