Facts On the World of Ancora

Ancora has three main continents on a world mostly covered in water.

Aslaria is the north western continent with two countries in it named Mesonyx (a mostly forested area ruled by demi-humans) and Eucalia (consists of a mix of forests, agriculture, and cities ruled by elves and drow). Mesonyx's capital is called Dagda. Eucalia's capital is called Endeis.

Ohul is the southern continent with two countries called Ferrum (mostly mountainous with deep crags and valleys, and ruled by dwarves) and Philein (artificially flattened grassland with advanced cities spread through it, ruled by gnomes). Ferrum's capital is Avril. Philein's (Fill-ain) governing city is named Litera, which is run by a democratic government system.

Anthropos is the eastern continent ruled completely by humans. The landscape is a mix of both mountains, forests, and flatlands, with cities and villages all throughout the region. It's capital is named Pneuma.

The first island of interest is called The Isle of Aldir. It's and academic section of land between Aslaria and Anthropos, that only for them most elite (or rich) of every continent to study in. It's named after a long dead Head Priest from the Temple of the Sun who died shortly after killing a demon General known as Ossa, from his extensive wounds and lack of mana. The island and academy used to be his home that he had found and made his own a few years before demons had invaded the world and began the Holy War 300 hundred years before Alex (now named Kenric) was born into Ancora.

The second island lies between Ohul and Aslaria, and is named Phaestus' (Fest-us)Haven, after the first king of the dwarves that found it during one of his campaigns. This isle is abundant with many rare ores and expensive resources that are used in blacksmithing, alchemy, and such. This island is used for exporting goods as well as training grandmaster blacksmiths and artificers further in their respective crafts. As long as they're willing to pay enough, of course. They only allow in the best of the best to save resources that could be ruined, as well as gain more from those that want to learn.

The third island is known more as a myth than reality. It's name is Perdita (Pair-d-ta), a floating, moving mass of rich green land and mountains that's said to carry dragons and other fantastical beasts on it's surface. Of course, this is all just hearsay, seeing as how nobody has properly seen it. The only available "evidence" on it's existence are scraps of poems and texts that are held within most of the churches, claiming it will only be found once the "King of the Night" calls upon it. Most of the planet's populace doubt it's validity, since the obviously old words haven't come true in the centuries after it was written, it's understandable to doubt on what remains unseen. But are the stories made of truth, or simply the writings of "mad men"? Nothing but ramblings, obviously. Or is it...?
