- | The Gods' Era is the earliest period of recorded history. It was a time when warlords rose and fell, and massive creatures roamed around eating everything in sight. Countless powerful people and creatures died during that time, leaving their inheritances behind.

+ | |||
+ | The primary continent of Nova Terra is Angoril. Politically (and geographically) speaking, it is split horizontally in half between the Human Empire to the north and the Demonkin Empire to the south. Each empire is then divided into four duchies. The southern and northern ends of the continent are temperate and have rotating seasons, but the four central duchies are closer to a tropical environment with alternating dry seasons and rainy seasons. The far north of Angoril is a frozen land of tundra and ice-covered mountains rising like dragon’s teeth into the sky. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Apart from the continent of Angoril, there are three smaller continents introduced in various patches, and each has a different theme. Rasyn, off Angoril’s eastern coast, is styled after Japan’s Tokugawa period. To the north lies Gerund, a Viking themed location that houses numerous barbarian clans, while to the south is Moa’techa, the Mayan-themed empire. | ||

===== Human Empire ===== | ===== Human Empire ===== | ||
- | ===== Demon Empire ===== | + | The Human Empire occupies the northern half of the continent Angoril. As the name implies, it is dominated by humans, but many other races also make the empire their home. In the center of the empire is a large, magnificent city floating above a lake. This is the empire's capital. Though there is a ruling emperor, much of the daily workings of the empire are handled by a quagmire of a bureaucracy, which is overseen by three ministers. These are the Interior Minister, the Minister of the Left, and the Minister of the Right. Additionally, there are four dukes that manage and protect the four duchies of the empire:the Cloudwave Duke, the Ironhold Duke, the Great Plains Duke, and the Dirgehold Duke. Then there are the nobles, who traditionally have been the ones to allow an individual to become the emperor but are currently waning in influence. |

+ | ===== Demonkin Empire ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Demonkin Empire controls the southern half of the continent Angoril. In the center of the four duchies lies the empire's capital city, occupying the interior of a massive pit. | ||
