## Continents and History

### Didziulis

Didziulus is the second largest continent in the world of Aegoso and is home primarily to Men and Evendir.

Its namesake is derived from the Evendiric peoples, the disciples of the Air Principle, who originally developed in this region. It roughly translates to endless plains in many modern derivations of their ancient language.

The south- central region is dominated by a humid, tropical climate and the Ancient Split, the largest mountain chain in the world, which borders Aesop, the southern continent.The harsh climate has mostly prevented great, effective development from the primarily human cultures and remain mostly isolated from global affairs due to this and their lack of important resources in this age. The notable exception are the peoples of Incyedam, who unambiguously lead the world stage of imperialism.

The northern region is widely varied but dominated by a mildly dry and warm climate throughout the central and western regions. The north and east boast dense and ancient forests.The northern region also harbors the most successful human races on the planet in the most recent years, with multiple centers for technological and scientific development and discovery. Though, imperialism has given way to decadence as they horde the worlds riches. The Evendir of the central part of this region have been dominated by the humans for hundreds of years and have gradually been subjugated and diminished in power and relevance. A large population of orcs from Agrathada and Krauz have been imported from the east to serve as servants and slaves in many human nations.

The northern islands regions is a loose, mostly undisturbed, coalition of human and ice giant tribes stretching across the three major islands, called the Iron Chain Archipelago. The climate ranges from dense taiga forest to tundra or arctic conditions.

(Yu-Ming) Cooler, Northern/Central European Climate, Deciduous Forests

INDIVIDUALISTIC/WEALTHY/ARISTOCRATIC/HEARTLESS

#### Central

TRADITION/WISDOM/UNAMBITIOUS

The central region is dominated by Evendiric peoples that once inhabited the entire continent. Since the migration of humans from the west to and around the coasts of Didziulus, that remains of their ancestry live only in central Didziulus. This land is mostly dry plains and grasslands, becoming drier as you move westward, spilling over into the coastal deserts of Namis and Lamis.

The peoples residing here are diverse but lacking in numbers when compared to their human neighbors; colonial measure by those nations have taken their toll on the Evendir's blood and way of life as they are typically incorporated into the human populations like a crushing wave. Few instances today reflect the harsh history of violence between these two races on this continent that lead to their containment in the mostly barren plains, but their impact is still felt today as their way of life slowly creeps towards decay.

Humans

COCKY/DURABLE/LOUD

#### Iron Chain Archipelago

o    Humans and Ice Giants tribes and small groups

o    Far North, Icy Climate, Mostly Tundra, Islands

o    CREATIVE/ISOLATION/UNFRIENDLY

The Madchend peoples on Isle Dasdunt live in tents crafted from the earth using ancient techniques to move the Earth developed in this land. They use the heat of both volcanic activity and the warm ocean current running north towards this island to survive in this dangerous realm.

These islands are infamous for the Nemoursa flower that populates its otherwise barren, warmer landscapes because of its severely poisonous properties upon contact. It survives the harsh winters through an strong oily substance that is excreted and absorbed by the roots of this flower to retain a dormant state of life under the ground during this period.

#### Coastal Deserts

CHARMING/GREEDY/AGILE

This region is sparsely inhabited and is historically associated with trade and merchant cities that transfer goods from the far South to Pomo lands, but with the advent of desalinization technology, the ability of the people to thrive has multiplied. Two major deserts, Namis and Lamis, are located on the north coast and east coasts, respectively.

A local power, the Farentis Republic, is a mercantilist merchant with close influences from their Northern neighbors in Yu-Ming and from the Pomo nations they have traded with to the far South and across to the west in Endelion. These ports are some of the biggest in the world today and boast a large variety of cultural, intellectual, and entertainment centers.

These deserts sit on the Hakokia Gulf and is a safe region for trade and sailing because of its inactive weather systems. The waters run a deep green along the coast for the large amounts of sea-algae that thrive in these stagnant waters.

Unfortunately, this also gives reside for rampant piracy in various periods in history due to the easy waters and heavy trading. Until recently, this has prevented from this connected region from becoming a powerful player in world trade.

### Aesop

Aesop borders the northern continent, Didziulus, on the western side of the world. Its history and namesake is dominated first by the Evendir, the disciples of Thunder, and later by the Pomos who ushered the world into a new technological era several hundred years ago. Since then, the center of power has shifted towards humans on this continent and even more so in the north on Didziulus, though the Pomo nations play an important role on international politics today.

### Agrathada

The 'frontier continent' is home to early colonial era Pomos, Orcs, and Evendir and is entirely dominated by the great desert waste, the Ohalk Ocean and the tranquil forests and taigas in the east and south.

HORDES/SNEAKY/BEAUTIFUL/DICKISH/WARRIORS

**Southeastern mountain region originally inhabited by**
warrior peoples who gain power by killing a village leader in traditional
ritual combat as a one on one; power may also be gained through assassination,
but this method is far less respectable and usually results in a long line of
continuing assassinations until a leader is again respectable

**(-500) Sejung was a warrior**
conquered many villages and won nearly all his ritual battles without a scratch
(The Flesh is an ancient axe that pierced his armor and gashed his arm, though
he still won the battle; this axe is a weapon of ancient mythology now and is
lost to history). Sejung reigned over land for a period totaling 41 years as
his death shook much of the region, his young son, Sejoing, obtained much of
his fathers respectandw protected by his greatest statesmen and warriors
until he reached the fighting age of 15. This line continued for 250 years
until wiped out by desert hordes invading the capital, though is noted for
entirely changing a culture that transitioned from warring villages to a great
local empire

#### The Breadth

UNCIVILIZED/POOR/PIOUS/COMMUNITARIAN

An incredibly diverse region containing all races and all elements. Ancient lore suggests that this region is the center of all life on the planet.

Though in the contemporary age this region is very lightly populated, the ancient city of Otshama stands testament to the diversity of all creeds and peoples and principles. It is also the center of religion for all those devoted to the elements.

#### Eastern Reaches

CHAOTIC/VICIOUS/PASSIONATE/SKILLED

Unorganized Orc tribes

#### Fjords

o    Predominantly Ice Giants and small Evendir tribes and
villages

o    Far North, Icy Climate, Mostly Dry Tundra, Some Forests and
Mountaims

o    LOYALTY/IGNORANT

#### Eastern Mounts

Orc tribes constantly warring one another in this region also fight colonizing humans from Didziulus and Endelion. Their cultures are burning out.

### Endelion

Endelion is the far-eastern continent and is the smallest in the world. It is solely inhabited by humans and has been the ancient home of the human race, though it is speculated from various religions that humans are derived from a common ancestor of Evendir, like all other races.
