Planet Corlyr

Corlyr is the third planet in the *Alcreia solar system*, a terrestrial world ripe with life due to the presence of the Corlyrian icons. It is orbited by a single moon known as Iau. Its mass is relatively smaller than that of the earth with an equatorial circumference of approximately 19,650 miles (31,623 kilometers).

Planet Corlyr has 4 known regions:

* The continent of Arveir, the largest and most populated continent of the planet, which is ruled by both metallic and chromatic dragons.
* The continent of Stremgard, the second largest continent in size and home to giantkind.
* The isle of mists, the smallest landmass of planet Corlyr, this fabled and elusive isle is said to be the ancient homeland of faefolk.
* Narala depths, a large pelagic region below the waves of the ocean where the merfolk and the daggar wage their never-ending conflict.

## History

The history of the planet Corlyr spans millions of years, dating back to the first age of the universe when the old gods split themselves in the event known as *the sundering*. During this time, Corlyr was a barren rocky wasteland with high volcanic activity and a poisonous atmosphere.

### Cosmic age

Comprises the time of the arrival and merging of the Corlyrian icons with planet Corlyr. Which, through their influence, made the planet habitable.

### Age of inheritance

It was during this time that the *inheritor species* started to flourish and the first empires of the daggar, dragonkind; and jotunn were erected. Most of the *lesser races* (with the exception of faefolk) were made slaves to the inheritor species, until a great war known as the inheritance war broke out between them over territorial control and influence.

At the height of the conflict, the slave races, with the help of faefolk magic revolted against their masters and brought down the ancient empires of old, earning their freedom.

### The first dragonwar

After the ascendance concord was signed and the borders of the new world were drawn, the new nation of Velsterra became a prosperous and harmonious land under the rule of the council of twelve, until the event known as Vramorgha's folly initiated the first dragon war.

After almost a decade of conflict and hostilities, the first dragon war came to an abrupt end in the battle of Mehina, where it is said that the icons Vramorgha and Yrthentas themselves clashed on the battlefield causing a cataclysmic level event that ended up creating the great rift in the middle of the continent of Arveir. This event and the massive loss of life that ensued prompted both sides to call for a ceasefire and; while the new metallic dragon nation of Velthara focused its efforts on rebuilding, the chromatic dragon nation of Or'ryl fell into a bitter civil war.

### Present time

1781 years have passed since the *first dragon war*, and the opposing dragon nations of Or'ryl and Velthara have maintained a delicate peace between them. It is during this period that the bulk of the *Legends of Arveir™ TTRPG's* published content takes place. With rumors of a new war spreading like wildfire throughout the nation of Velthara, and a dark force pulling strings in the shadows to bring chaos to the continent of Arveir and the world of Corlyr.
