Beyond mortal sight lies a vast world, greater than any map could ever capture. Endless seas divide continents, skies blaze with forgotten stars, and unknown lands rest in silence, untouched by mortal feet.
Among these continents, one stands as the heart of civilization: the continent of Illumina.
Illumina is ruled by three great powers:
Alzareth Empire (North): A realm of towering castles and rigid hierarchies, where knowledge is power, ambition knows no end, and cruelty is the price of survival. Freedom belongs only to the strong.
Eterna Kingdom (South): A sanctuary of diverse races and ancient magics. Peace thrives on its surface, yet shadows linger beneath, holding secrets capable of reshaping all of Illumina.
Valiant Alliance (East): An elven-led coalition, guided by fairness and light. Its radiant cities shine as symbols of harmony, though ancient truths remain hidden within their shadows.
At the center of these powers lies neutral ground, Hero Haven, home to the Hero Association, an order of champions gathered not only from Illumina, but from distant continents across the world.
Illumina itself is vast, but it is not the world entire. Beyond its shores lie other continents, some veiled in mist, others sealed by ancient curses, and one so feared it is spoken only in whispers:
The Umbra Continent.
A land of untamed wilderness, colossal beasts, and forces beyond mortal understanding. No empire has claimed it, and no army has ever returned. Even kings and scholars speak of it with unease, for it is said to guard truths older than the world itself.
Far below these lands lies another realm: the Underworld.
Seven deadly layers descend into infinite darkness, each born of a sin darker than the last.
Layer I – Wrath
Ruler: ???
Seas of molten lava stretch endlessly. Volcanic storms rage beneath a crimson sky, and battlefields lie buried with weapons from wars older than memory.
Layer II – Greed
???
Layer III – Sloth
???
Layer IV – Lust
???
Layer V – Envy
???
Layer VI – Gluttony
???
Layer VII – Pride
???
No mortal has ever crossed all seven layers and returned. Yet within them dwell sovereigns of sin, waiting for the day when the Great Gate shatters the boundary between worlds.
This is the world: vast, perilous, and filled with secrets. Every land holds mysteries, and every shadow conceals a threat.
