Worldbuilding Index
''May earth bend to the will of the gods who built this world as their domain.''
Likidm Continent
Composed by 1 Empire and 4 Kingdoms, characterized by its extreme regions and dense species diversity.
Exos Empire
It takes most of the continent, and it won its territory from the Great War that formed the Empire, but also other small wars that took place along the millenia, it's currently at peace with the other Kingdoms. Has extensive history and its patron gods never changed, being the Sun God and Moon Goddess . The surname of the imperial family has been 'Chrysl' since its foundation. It has the biggest military in all 3 continents, so it's feared by most Kingdoms, however it has weak naval power because most of its coast is in the Red Sea. Has one Emperor, one Empress and two Princes. Colors of the Empire: Red, White and Gold.
The territory of the Exos Empire is composed of: the Capital , located at the center of the Empire and surrounded by the biggest river in the continent, the Aura River ; Four duchies , located north (Duke Burton), west (Duke Sawdon), east (Duke Gagne) and south (Duke Bauldry) of the Capital; And eight marches , north (Margrave Segal), northeast (Margrave Farhi), south (Margrave Larchier), southeast (Margrave Bloem), west (Margrave Apeldoorn) , east (Margrave Abel), northwest (Margrave Desrosiers) and southwest (Margrave Fee). The Dukedoms can be broken down in counties and viscounties, varying in number.
The Empire is practically self-sufficient, however they still import goods from other Kingdoms and export theirs in a way to stimulate the economy and promote the development of magical technology across continents. It's the first to develop railroads that cross the whole continent, connecting all Kingdoms, becoming wealthy by selling the formula to Kingdoms in the other continents.
Gypsum Kingdom
Located to the west of the Empire, is the biggest Kingdom and also known for its art and marble, has mountains of marble rock and deserts of salt, lives mostly on exports to the Exos Empire and has poor military power. The royal family is composed of the King and his 2 daughters, its Queen died young and made no heirs, so they crowned one of the princesses as the next heir, breaking a chain of male succession. Their patron god is the god of Wisdom . The royal family carries the surname 'Lapis'.
Whisperia Kingdom
Known as the Kingdom of the Elves , is the smallest Kingdom in the continent, east of the Empire and has a few islands, being known mostly by its green hills and pasture, the World Tree is also located at the heart of the Castle. After the Elven War 600 years ago the Kingdom lost most of its power and now depends on the Empire to exist, has a peaceful relationship with the Empire now but before lost most of its territory attempting to wage war when the Empire was being formed. Its patron god is the god of Nature . The royal family carries the surname 'White' .
Saxum Kingdom
A barren land, the second biggest Kingdom in the continent, located south of the Empire, a land filled with inactive volcanoes and mountains, it snows 80% of the year and their major form of wealth is their fruit trees with exotic and sweet fruits, the meat of the wild boars, symbol of the Kingdom, and their mines, their military power is second to the Empire and focus mostly in spearmen and archers. Its patron god is the goddess of Wealth , having dwarves as its patron species. It's a matriarchy since its foundation, having two Queens, four daughters and two sons, their surname is 'Mons'.
Abfluo Kingdom
Northeast of the Empire, is the second smallest Kingdom and borders with the Whisperia Kingdom. It's a relatively new Kingdom that recently suffered a coup, previously being part of another Kingdom that lost the war against the Exos Empire, became a ally Kingdom because of the General's help during the war, giving him authority and becoming King, it's a Kingdom with a lot of beaches and rivers, having very few land, most of its houses are along the river, the symbol of the Kingdom is the Narwhal. The first King is still alive, but already retired, his son inherited the throne but has yet to marry and produce heirs, their political situation is dire, and it's in constant war with the Whisperia Kingdom, doesn't have a patron god and most of the residents also don't have a religion. The surname of the royal family is 'Vena' and the Kingdom is home to Nymphs , spirits of water that don't serve any specific god, they're rumored to be spirits of those that drowned during the wars.
Sokidm Continent
Composed of 2 Empires and 4 Kingdoms
Eil Empire
An Empire engulfed in flames, with high mana density in the air, most of the people are gifted in magic, however compared to the Exos Empire they lack technology, being a more tradition-focused nation. Birthplace of mana guns, which are obsolete in the other Continents due to its inefficiency, however since the warriors of the Eil Empire aren't well-versed in other weapons they became more proficient in using mana guns. The Crown Princess being even on-par with Crown Prince Alkaios in terms of mana and fight prowess. Its Imperial family is composed of the eldest daughter, the Emperor and a younger Prince who is kept away from the public eye. Their family name is 'Jin'.
Most of their products are imported from their neighboring Empire, where they have a politically arranged marriage between the Crown Princess and their fifth Prince. The last war they were involved in was when they became an Empire, 800 years ago, afterwards they focused on developing internally and forming alliances. All of their beaches are on the Red Sea, making exporting their products (mainly mana guns, bullets and products made with ash and volcanic rocks) almost impossible. Which makes them fully dependent on their allies.
Their nation is filled with poverty due to that and their main hope is the political marriage of their Crown Princess. Doesn't have a patron god.
Hai Empire
The richest Empire on this Earth, a recent ally to the Exos Empire after they announced a naval war. Emperor Magnus preferred to forge an alliance than to go to war, since the Exos Empire naval brigade is non-existent. The Hai Empire is in constant growth, their last conquest was the biggest Kingdom in the Continent, the Aegis Kingdom, burning it to a crisp and executing all of the Royal Family (or at least thinking it did). Most of its coast is in the Blue Sea, and it has a few islands focused on naval training. Established a good trade route to the Likidm Continent, however its attempts to communicate with the Vapidm Continent were not successful (the threats actually). A highly militarized nation, their focus is on war and conquests, especially through the Sea. They have a decent produce of meat and fish, importing vegetables from the neighborhood Kingdoms they allowed to keep existing through alliances.
Known for its ruthlessness, the tradition of the Imperial family is to give birth to a lot of successors and put them against each other in a bloody war where the last one standing will become Emperor. The only way to escape is to marry another nation for an alliance, however this occasion was only allowed four times in the whole two thousand years of the existence of this Empire. And the fourth time was with their fourth Prince who is to marry the Crown Princess of the Eil Empire, this was only allowed because the Prince was seen as 'useless' for being born without one of his legs. However he became a formidable mage due to his good mana compatibility, which is useless in an Empire focused in weaponry, but useful in an Empire focused in mana like the Eil Empire.
The Imperial family name is 'Inoue', and is composed by the Emperor, Empress and the 14 Princes. They have yet to name a successor since the current Emperor is 48, their youngest is still 6 and their oldest is 28. Due to the nature of their culture, the Emperor has 5 concubines with whom he had 9 of his 14 sons. Its patron god is the goddess of War.
Saari Kingdom
Formed by small islands, the Saari Kingdom is mainly focused in fishing and handcrafts with products from their beaches. Known as a nation of peace and welcoming people, depending on the Hai Empire for protection, its King is a descendant of a local royal and a former Prince from the Hai Empire, but since their alliance was formed 400 years ago, their blood is mostly Saarian. Their culture is characteristic, they worship the goddess of Oceans, even if their nation isn't her territory, for being a small Kingdom, they have a very small genetic pool, being subject of a lot of illnesses and their children usually are born with bone and blood related illnesses, their life expectancy is 40, and they are known for child marriages. Even so, they refuse to mix their blood, claiming it would 'dirty' them, even if their King is of mixed blood. The Royal family name is 'Tera'. Doesn't have a patron god.
Regis Kingdom
Right in the middle of the two Empires, the Regis Kingdom is completely taken by a red sand desert called Glacier Desert, known for its freezing temperatures despite its sand and constant sun bathed nation. Because of the distinct characteristics of their Kingdom, most of its population lives underground, because of this their skin absorbs the mana in the sand, turning their skin red just like the sand. Most of them don't leave their homes, and they have a close relationship with the underground monsters of their Kingdom, like steel skinned lizards and red moles. Using them as scouts, pets and companions. They're not interested in alliances or political relationships, however due to their history most nations respect them.
They have a small population of dwarves as their underground mines are filled with rare materials. Their Royal family is more of a democracy, however they still use monarchy terms. Every 16 years they vote for their new King, their current King was voted 3 times in a row and is half-dwarf, he doesn't have any offspring and isn't married as well. Its patron god is the god of Destiny.
Ekaant Kingdom
A Island located in the middle of the Red Sea, doesn't have any contact with the mainland except via teleportation, however due to their isolated nature most of the visitors are killed before speaking with them. The only nation with a unique language, they speak using hand signs, a language only known by their descendants and those who wish to learn about their culture, the language is called Ekan, due to their nation's name. They're self-sufficient and are the only nation that eats monster meat as their main source of nutrients since the Red Sea is filled with it. There aren't many books on their culture so no one really knows the structure of their Royal family or how many members it has. Their patron god is the god of Chaos .
Civa Kingdom
The biggest Kingdom and the biggest ally of the Hai Empire, focused in underwater mines, their people are incredible swimmers and divers, most of their population is also composed of vagrants, pirates and merchants. Mostly known for their culture of parties, plays and music concerts, they're the birthplace of the goddess of Entertainment, also known as the goddess of Music & Alcohol , who is also their patron god. Their patron species are commonly known as devils, because of their red or green skin and horns, besides of their natural mischief.
Their Royal family is currently composed of a Regent King, since the previous King and Queen died leaving the throne to his four year old heir to the throne, due to such, the King's twin brother took the throne until the child comes of age. The Royal family's name is 'Krasnov'.
Vapidm Continent
Formerly composed of 23 Kingdoms, currently has 17 Kingdoms, it's characterized by its lack of animals and its monster density, most of the territory is taken by forests or plantation fields.
Morke Kingdom
At first it was a small Kingdom with a poor territory, having mostly temples and it was known for the poor soil and starved people. Then when King Lyor rose to the throne he conquered 6 Kingdoms (The Kingdoms of: Beller, Dahlia, Meridian, Queene, Tsya and Nier) in the span of 4 years, some Kingdoms he forged an alliance in blood, using sacred contracts that were made with his own blood, therefore linked to divine power, as they wished to avoid bloodshed. However 4 Kingdoms still refuse to do so, therefore King Lyor is in the process of conquering them. By acquiring the territory of the Osas Kingdom and Aset Kingdom - the two biggest Kingdoms in the Continent - he'll be finally be able to turn the Morke Kingdom into an Empire.
After his conquests the Empire environment changed, now its territory consists mainly of farms, focused on cattle and fruits, turning the Morke Kingdom into a hotspot for premium products and cuisine. Its harsh environment is mitigated by the King's divine power that flows from the Castle (located in the middle of the Kingdom) to the other regions. The side effect of such divine power is that the Kingdom has 6 months of only light (no night) and 6 months of only darkness (no day) during the year, and the beginning of each is marked by festivals held to worship the gods.
Even with the flow of new people that were brought with the conquering of the Kingdoms, it's a heavily religious Kingdom, where commoners are given last names according to which Temple they were registered in (De Luce for those following the God of Light and Draeger for those following the Goddess of Darkness), poverty is mostly not seen as the Temples give out free food for those in precarious situations, and even if there is two types of religions in the Kingdom, the Temples don't clash, mostly due to the nature of their gods relationship.
There isn't an exact nobility, since they were a religious nation, but due to the merger of Kingdoms, the King is currently seeking ways to implement such without removing the influence of the Temples. He plans to implement those after he manages to finish his conquests and the alliance to the Exos Empire with his engagement to Prince Nikias.
Has a high density of forests, protected by divine species (dragons and gnomes), who are also the patron species of the gods of the Empire, the mines scattered around its territory are maintained by half-dragons who are seen as those blessed by the divine.
Slavery is forbidden, and even prisoners of war are treated well unless they've committed crimes, and if you imprison or abuse halflings you're seen as dirty and can be punished by the people, some even getting stoned on the streets.
Lumen Kingdom
Not yet explored, await for our protagonist to learn more about it.
The Seas
The Three Continents are surrounded by two seas with different characteristics and species inhabiting it.
The Red Sea
Known for its waters the color of blood, has mostly calm waves and only monsters survive in its waters, not suitable for navigation.
The Blue Sea
Turquoise almost transparent waters with rocky waves and a lot of uninhabited islands and volcanoes, the water is warm all year around and has a diverse population of species living there, known for its beauty and the naval routes are well established between the continents.
