Anmasekt

[This page is under construction.]

Anmasekt was a continent that appeared upon the world of Evalore in the year 885, in its southern hemisphere far to the south of Pellia. Until that time, Anmasekt was a demiplane formed by the elemental incarnation Giland, used by him as a sanctuary. After the Requiem of Magic in the year 884, Giland made a pact with the goddess Mystra to use Anmasekt as the new location for the primal wellspring of magic. Anmasekt was transported into the Material Plane, and the central region of Weiskrauven became the vault in which the wellspring remains.

In the year 1220, the Endless Winter began on the continent, placing the entire continent and its population into a frozen stasis. This stasis lasted for nearly 80 years, until Kalini Alisere, one of the dozen natives of Anmasekt who were not present on the continent at the time of the Endless Winter, returned to Anmasekt and ended the Winter, rising to become the new Queen of Anmasekt.

## Geography

Anmasekt was a single island within the Tyran sea, about 1,000 miles across in a nearly symmetrical manner.

### The North

The northern section of Anmasekt was dominated by the Wastes to the far north, and the Sanfrieg Desert just to its south. The Wastes were a massive stretch of land more barren than any desert, incapable of sustaining any life at all. Through most of Anmasekt's history, the Wastes held the Aliscariot, silent constructs which wandered the Wastes aimlessly. The Sanfrieg Desert, on the other hand, was far less barren, with a flourishing, if difficult to see, ecosystem.

### The West

Across the plains of western Anmasekt were two notable locales: the Gefel Swamp, and the Ulmen Mountains. Gefel Swamp was a massive fungal swamp filled with mushrooms that could reach almost a hundred feet in the air. This swamp was central to a massive sphere of biodiversity, one of the most overgrown areas within Evalore that contained flora and fauna the likes of which could not be found anywhere else. Ulmen Mountains was a long but low hanging mountain range that had the primary benefit of being incredibly easy to fortify and reinforce.

### The East

The east was almost entirely taken up by a deep forest almost uncharted by the people of Anmasekt. The deepest part of the forest was rumored to be the center of a loose border between Anmasekt and the Dreaming, leaking fey creatures and eldritch energy.

### The South

A long open plain with only a few blemishing hills contained within, rivers and floodplains dotting the long grass. The south of Anmasekt is largely featureless, open, and flat. People walking through the plains often found themselves stepping into marshlands and falling into rivers hidden by the tall grass.

### Weiskrauven

Within the center of Anmasekt was a wasteland in perpetual winter surrounded by mountains in an almost circular orientation. Weiskrauven was easily the most dangerous area within Anmasekt, as a perpetual winter storm tore through the area, the cold so biting and unnaturally present that it would freeze a man to death in mere seconds, and has even frozen white dragons solid. Caves dot the surface, almost impossible to see through the blizzard and snowdrifts. The closer to the center of Weiskrauven one traveled, the faster that one's body temperature fell, and nobody had ever made it to the center alive.

## Nation

The nation of Anmasekt was, in its most recent form, a theocratic monarchy ruled by the Alisere royal lineage encompassing the entirety of the continent. The monarch ruled from Sanfrieg Temple, employing and putting into effect a massive bureaucracy in order to enact all necessary policies and decisions.
