Lost Realm of Akalan

== Overview of Akalan ==
The Lost Realm of Akalan is a world vastly different to Rathnir and Eldham in a multitude of factors including lifeforms, flora and history. It is dominated by the Serimuth race which has since had its numbers decreased close to extinction. Only one Serimuth is known to live to this day. While not yet proven, it has been theorized that a species of Serimuth inhabit a portion of Akalan, though none have been seen.
== The Continents ==
The world of Akalan was split into 4 major continents and a large sea which was believed by the Serimuth to be a sunken continent lost to time. Following the split of the race into various tribes, every landmass in the realm was inhabited by groups with differing cultures. In order from northwest to southeast, the continents are: Aspana, Gallagher, Orreborne and Rasaprada.
=== Aspana ===
The continent of Aspana sits on the largest plate in the northwest as shown on the map. It is home to the tribes which split from Nokialan, the two known divisions being Imuria and Taparia who went on to settle Gallagher at the time of their breakup. Imuria became the dominant power in Aspana, with very few Taparian tribesmen inhabiting the continent.
=== Gallagher ===
The continent of Gallagher lies to the east of Aspana, north of the rest of the realm. While housing a smaller population than Aspana, it was the second largest continent in terms of population and was home to the majority of the tribe Taparia after it split from Nokialan and left Imuria to thrive alone.
=== Orreborne ===
The continent of Orreborne sits south of Aspana and is comprised of two major islands; Orreborne Major (the island populated by Ikrialite tribes) and Ar'ah-Katal (the Dread Isle). This continent is inhabited by two known surviving tribes, being Orregoth and Veragoth. After the split of Ikrialan, the tribe Orregoth ventured north towards Aspana and primarily lived close to the plate border with the Aspanic plate, while Veragoth moved south towards the lush rainforests by the southern sea. These migrations left the center of Orreborne sparsely populated, which has been estimated to be the home of less than 100 tribesmen following the event.
To the east of Orreborne Major is the Ar'ah-Katal; the Dread Isle. 
=== Rasprada ===
The continent of Rasprada is located south of Bahir-Armahh. It is unknown which tribes inhabit the collection of islands due to the lack of evidence of the survival of other tribes following the split of the race. However, it is believed by some that the tribe Astenary thrived on a number of the islands to the south, though these would have been sparsely populated by the tribe as a result of its smaller size when compared to the other tribes.
=== Bahir-Armahh (Scarsilver Sea) ===
The Scarsilver Sea is located on a plate separate from those of the other continents which has led to the belief that the plate formerly housed a large island landmass similar to the size of Orreborne. The tribe Astenary have been known to inhabit the islands to the southeast of the sea, though it is unknown to what extent they have spread across the archipelago.
=== Ar'ah-Katal (Dread Isle) ===
The Dread Isle is an island located in eastern Orreborne. This island is shrouded in mystery, with no written sources about it being known to exist. Only one thing is known about the Dread Isle; there is an artifact of sorts hidden deep within the mountains at the center. It has been said that a strange form of Serimuth had been seen in close proximity to the isle, but these sightings have not been confirmed. 
== The Spread of Narakkam ==
Due to the odd nature of the Dread Isle, many Serimuth assumed that the events leading up to Narakkam originated from the island. A number of Serimuth have reported their sensing of a pure magic, presumably contained by an object, radiating from the heart of the island in the mountains. Through deciphering various tablets that remained mostly intact, the only known Serimuth in Rathnir has come to the conclusion that Narakkam was caused by the influence of a vengeful spirit which was released from the bowels of another world and broke through space to reach Akalan. This resulted in the corruption the artifact and caused the spread of the plague.
