### **Nest:**

Nest ColonyHeroes; Those that have no kingdom, come from all over the land to live in the Freelands. Whether they fell during battle, only to get up and be forgotten, or they were taken captive and escaped. So many have made the Freeland their home.

These sporadic establishments of working-class Ants and Heroes were named Clans.

They live off the land, and in return they live FOR the land. Feeding off the natural inhabitants; mostly free roaming Creatures and wild fruits and edibles grown from the land. Each Clan has their respective roles for their members. Each Clan is a hard working society.

The Clans were created by Nomad Warriors as a safe haven for any travelling Warrior looking to leave the looming eye of each kingdom and their leader. No matter where they came from, each Clan is to be a group of Heroes living off the land.

The only outsiders a Clan will not host are Nobles, no matter the tales they tell, Heroes and Nobles have unfinished business between each other that runs centuries deep.

The land is luscious and forgiving with secrets around each corner. The Ants of Freeland are still scarred with battle wounds throughout the Clans and the land.

### **Persian:**

PersianThe Persian Ant Empire was one of the largest ant colonies of the underground. Their strength in numbers and unmatched strategies in battle out scaled any other empire, allowing unchecked growth for the perceivable future.

At the core of the Persian Empire was the Fire Temple; an undying fire that stayed lit for thousands of years, which was a beacon of the empires achievements.

As the Spirits breached through the underground and swept through each kingdom, the undying fire was put out with a cool breeze.

As the Fire Temple laid silent, so too did the fire within the hearts of the empires citizens.

Slowly the Persian warriors lost their edge and King Parsyus, leader of the Persian Empire, desperate; longing for the fire's return, deployed hundreds of Nobles to march towards the Spirit World. There, they searched for the source of darkness with hopes to defeat the Evil Spirits and bring the fire back to their beloved empire.

King Parsyus and his people were not the only ones deceived by the Spirits; Nobles were to face unparalleled threats revealed throughout their journey alone, as Sorcerers.

### **Samurai:**

SamuraiThe Samurai Ant Kingdom was one of the most resilient kingdoms of the underground.

The core strengths of the kingdom being honor and culture resulted in a vastly interconnected set of communities. through daily meditation, Emperor Hotaru; leader of the Samurai, discovered the power of the Spirits.

In trying to connect with the Spirit world further, Emperor Hotaru was contacted by the Elder Ant Spirits who sought protection from the Persian and Viking kingdoms.

the Elder Ant Spirits to Emperor Hotaru that his kingdom's positive energy made it possible for the Spirit World to connect with the Samurai and seek their help.

The Spirits offered peaceful passage to the other side, in return they asked for Eternal Protection; a bold offer. Emperor Hotaru, valuing the afterlife and everlasting peace for himself, his family, and the entire kingdom accepted this bold offer from the Spirits.

The emperor's new found spiritual awaking left him isolated from the other leaders.

In time this proved to be consequential for the Samurai Kingdom; detaching themselves from the reality of the underground realms and leaving the citizens in isolation. Ultimately this fateful decision proved to be the Samurai's demise.

### **Viking:**

VikingThe Ant Vikings are the most ferocious of the Tiny Kingdoms. Their intense and intimidating nature always kept the other kingdoms at bay.

Once the Samurai established their alliance with the Spirit World, the Persians and the Vikings unified in a mutual agreement. Both kingdoms determined that the Samurai would simply be too powerful if they were not stopped.

King Hefna and his Queen Yrsa, sent their strongest heroes alongside the Persian Army to defeat the Samurai. This great battle was set to cease the upcoming chaos and create a balance; establishing that no other-worldly force could make and kingdom immortal.

King Hefna and Queen Yrsa, who were sent from Valhalla by the wise Odin; almighty magician among gods, would not bow to the ways of the Spirit World.

What the Viking Kingdom, and the rest of the world did not know was King Hefna and his Queen were Tiny Demi-Gods.

Created from the magician within the realm of gods; Odin entrusted these two with the abilities to manifest ancient Viking god's from Tiny Valhalla.

This carefully constructed plan of creating Tiny Demi-Gods was in order to gain the upper hand in dire times and a surefire way to protect the kingdom and the ancestry that followed.

### **Scientist:**

ScientistTiny Scientists were humans of the world above that courageously shrunk themselves to maximize their chances of survival on a rapidly decaying planet.

though the uber-geniuses were successful in effectively performing this experiment, they were not prepared for he world of chaos that awaited them in the underground.

They quickly fortified their Tiny Labs, burying deeper into the Underground with technology as their advantage, with their greatest invention next to come.

These lands are fueled by science and the elements of both the above world and the Underground. A new species in the Underground presents a new mystery.

Where will they go now?

What new experiments have they hidden up their sleeves to make progress in this new world?

### **Sorcerer:**

SorcererThe Sorcerers are powerful Noble Ants who defeated a Spirit and chose to keep it's energy for themselves.

No matter the Kingdom they originally hailed from, and no matter their status in each kingdom, no Noble is welcomed back as they had committed the greatest betrayal one could have imagined.

Spurned by Kingdoms and every living faction, even the almighty Spirits; Sorcerers were to be left alone. Roaming the Underground as supremely powerful Tiny beings with no family, love or support for the rest of their days.

Their solitude only fed their evil intent, quickly making them the most feared beings in all of existence. All powerful and all angry at every Faction turning a blind eye on them and their victorious Noble quest.

Their realms are mysterious and dark, with nefarious wanderers appearing in shadows throughout the lonely nights.

All remaining Kingdom Nobles and Heroes were ordered to eliminate any Sorcerer on sight.

The Spirits actively search the Tiny Underground for Sorcerers with the intention of sending them to Ciraiyll; the darkest prison in the Spirit World. A lingering wasteland for captured Sorcerers, giving nothing to attach themselves to and simply letting them waste away.

### **Spirit:**

SpiritThe Tiny Spirits rose and revealed themselves when they sensed an imbalance in the Tinyverse.

Present in all the fabrics of the Tinyverse since the beginning of time itself, the Spirits have witnessed all history - the light and the dark.

Spirits hold a Godly energy that would bring prosperity to whoever could harness it.

Dharma, the Elder Spirit and ruler of the Tiny Underworld works in mysterious ways. The legend goes; no Ant, Emperor or warrior has ever seen this Spirit. Speaking her name is considered blasphemous throughout each kingdom. The powers of Dharma, if unleashed, have been feared by all for centuries.

There are many Spirit archetypes, each with a nature defined as an embodied emotion. Each emotion is presented in a Spirit, which feeds off the emotions felt and experienced throughout the entirety of the Tinyverse.

These lands hold close the Spirit energy, creating fantastical visions throughout each night and wonderous beauty throughout each day.
