**Uos** is a continent located in the southwest of **Eigen**. It's coasts span along the Juspartic and Xablesh seas with the magical island of Nupra residing where the two seas meet. It is separated from the continent of Ixx by a massive wall that is guarded at all times by Ixxian soilders. It is the main hub of all things magic with most of the world’s magical gear, magical services, and potions originating here. Throughout history, it has frequently allied and fought against it's neighboring continent- Ixx.

It has been stated that Uos is based on South Africa and Chile with Edryas being heavily inspired by Valparaiso.

## Geography and Climate

Uos is bordered to the west by the Juspartic Sea, to the south by the Xablesh Sea and to the east by the continent of Ixx.

The continent's terrain varies immensely. There are significant hilly areas in the east- such as the Ekoris hills. There is also a large river, the Ipux river, that flows from Ixx and spans through most of the southern mainland. Upon the magical island of Nupra, the environment ranges from humid rain forests to woodlands, to bogs and swamps. Some especially magical areas of the island boast environments that would normally be impossible for their location- such as deserts and lakes.

Notable offshore islands include Niphea island and Iakorish island.

## Society and Culture

Although mages may be born anywhere in the world, the likelihood of a child being born as a mage is much greater in Uos. To the people of Uos, mages proudly displaying their mage markings is a sign of respect for the first mage, Movath, and gratitude for the gift of being born with the privilege of magical abilities.

Mages hailing from Uos will often go out of their way to dress in garments that expose the parts of their bodies with markings. Most tailors and clothing shops offer pieces such as flowing robes with slits, sleeves that flutter open, and crop-tops. Uos is the only continent to readily offer clothing in all colours of the rainbow to all citizens, regardless of their status. Along with colourful garments, mages also tend to accessorize with matching armour, sashes, gloves, and bright gems, amulets or earrings.

It is common for mages to cover up these markings when embarking on quests or missions as to reduce the amount of information an enemy may deduct from assessing any visible markings. This is often accomplished by making use of cloaks, masks, traditional clothing, armor, make-up, and on some occasions- spells or potions. Many mages will swap out their sheer articles of clothing for opaque ones- especially in the case of gloves or face coverings.

#### Dress Code:

Despite the traditional flashy attire of mages, students from magic schools are made to dress in head to toe coverings. The primary colour of their clothing must be black, shoes must be close-toed. For girls, stocking must be worn for dresses or skirts that are shorter than the ankles. Boys must wear full length pants and long sleeved shirts. Robes, hats, capes and cloaks are optional.

This dress code was created to ensure that students would not become too reliant on looking at a mage's markings to make decisions in battle. As stated previously, mages will go out of their way to cover their markings when embarking upon quests and missions, so it is important to have students be prepared and accustomed to seeing fellow mages fully covered.

## Notable Locations

### Nupra

The sentient island of Nupra was formed from the body of the only man ever to be exiled from Ekleis. The island itself is magical and is loyally protected by the people of Uos. It is a sacred and spiritual place where altering anything via human interaction is forbidden.

Only the people of Uos know how to navigate Nupra. The island is entirely unmapped and attempting to do so is also forbidden. The island is home to many magical creatures and monsters and is dangerous to explore without access to magical abilities or a reliable guide.

### Edryas

Edyras is the capital city of Uos. It is a colourful and bustling city with plenty of storefronts that sell things ranging from exotic fruit to powerful weapons.
