Lacaria

THIS CONTINENT'S MAP IS UNFINISHED AND CURRENTY UNDERGOING PRODUCTION
Lacaria is widely known as a "The Continent Veiled by Steam" as steam will rise from its borders, forming a hot protective barrier. Researchers from all over the world still haven't figured out the reason for this phenomenon. Lacaria is also known as the "Land of Elegance" for how beautiful their architecture and design is as well as for all the beautiful flowers that bloom on Lacarian soil. (Lacaria is based on the continent of Asia and any ideas within are inspired off of Asian culture)
==Highlights==
===History===
Four thousand years ago, Lacaria was the largest plot of land in recorded history where there were no mortal inhabitants as the constant steam barrier discouraged people to try and push through the barrier. Animals that had the ability of flight or abilities to dig deep underground were the only ones seen heading into the barrier and into Lacaria. One group of settlers however were different. With ancient and primal magic, these settlers were able to gauge and find the temperature where the steam is cool enough to pass through. One by one, they would use their magic to propel one another into that opening. The first group of people to inhabit and make Lacaria their home was the Everblossom tribe. 
===Advancements===
Lacaria is widely known for their advancement of spells and the creativity of the Arcane Arts. Their schools of magic are widely known as the best place to hone your art in the arts. Lacarian people are very creative in making new spells as well as learning how to combine spells and transforming it into whole new ones. The job Occupation "Spell Designer" is more common in Lacaria than in any other continent. 
===Technology===
Lacaria is a continent that keeps up with the changing times in terms of technology. It's not too advanced nor is it lagging behind. But Lacarians have found a way to turn Runes into something great. Most technological ideas in Lacaria are based on the inscribing of tiny runes into a rock. With this they were able to make many important creations that are essential for the more modern areas of the world.
Lacaria has made use of runes and have made the following necessities:
*Runic Phones
*Earbud Walkie Talkies
*Speakers
*Floating Tiles
*And More...
==Provinces and Locations==
===Alexandria (The Capital of Lacaria)===
Alexandria is the singular hot spot in all of Lacaria where merchants, philosophers, and businessmen meet up and share goods, information, news, and everything that has to do with trending items. The nightlife is boisterous, filled with many young people partying and old people telling stories. It is a city that's never silent. Many people alike have called it the "City of Wonders" as there's many things you can explore and things you might learn. 
===The Wasted Isle===
Not too far southwest of Alexandria, lies a dark, murky, and contaminated land of the Wasted Isle. Also known as the Badlands to the natives and "Lacaria's Dumpster" to the nobles and higher-class people. Noblemen who were banished and poor people who can't afford houses in other places all go to the Wasted Isle. The place is filled with bandits, thugs, pollution, theivery, crime constant violence, gang wars, which makes the Wasted Isle a poor part of Lacaria that doesn't seem to be getting fixed any time soon.
=== Escalon===
Also known as the Country of flowers, petals, and peace, Escalon is a place filled with flower meadows and exotic flora. For tourists, Escalon is one of the most popular places to go to if you're visiting Lacaria. The architecture for Escalon revolves around the benefits of flowers, making it easier for them to bloom and grow anywhere. Escalon is very primal magic based and there are barely any factories or industrialized technology in sight within Escalon. The people of this country are very proud of their country and their flag has their signature flower, the Yellow Lilac, on it. 
===Logatagia===
Logatagia is located on the southeastern side of Lacaria and is an archipelago where the people heavily worship Astronomy. The skies, the sun, the moon, and the stars are their gods of worship. This led to Logatagia being named "The Starlit Islands" as the people rely on the sun and moon's power as well as the stars to influence their actions. Anamuhla, the main island of Logatagia, has made it known to the world that they think that their people are the best in the world when it comes to combat and fighting. That statement has caused many wars to start to see if Logatagia can backup their claims. To this day, many countries and leaders from all over the world wage war on Logatagia to see if they really are the best warriors. Currently, Logatagia is at war with the Helaran Country, Widowsbane, the country that is known to lust for victory. 
===Ikori ===
The city of guilds and the city where all guilds build their homebase in. Many adventurers come to this city to find work, go on missions, or to join a guild. It is also a good place to buy weapons, potions, armor, and anything that an adventuer would need to survive in the wild. At the end of the Peaceful Era however, the city was destroyed and burned to the ground. It is currently being rebuilt and is being managed by Sir Oswald IV and Sabrina Wyatt.
The Lacarian veil of smoke will cool down soon, reavealing more to come...
