Novaterra

**Novaterra** or simply called the **New World** by the Dimensionals is the world where most of the canon story takes place. Its most notable feature is the fact that it supports magical usage, probably due to its involvement with deities from the past. The planet has 395 days, with 2 additional days when it's leap year, which happens every 5 years. The current year on the planet is 1122 MY.

## Geography

Novaterra is a very diverse planet with many regions and climates, each unique to their own separate regions. Most of the world has 4 seasons due to their climate and some have extreme climates which never change. It is estimated that the planet is 1.75x larger than Earth. The planet can be divided into continents, with the world using the cultural continents instead of the geographical continents due to the fact that the latter is very messy and out of place sometimes, changing due to continental drift. In total, there are 11 continents, with 8 being primarily on the western hemisphere and 3 being on the eastern hemisphere, this being caused by said continental drift in the distant past. Between the two hemispheres lies the massive Oriental Ocean, separating the two sides by water. Not much is known about the eastern world. To the west lay the 8 continents which are most well-known, they are Griseon, Rublium, Flavos, Ceruleum, Ignis, Hyacinthia, Vetus-Terra/Vetapatudia and Tenebriloca. These eight have existing connections between their nations which makes travel much easier than crossing the Oriental Ocean. Between Griseon and Tenebriloca lies the Western Passage, which leads to both the Nordic Ocean and the Archipelago Sea, the latter leading to the very minor Southern Sea which is a term sailors made to classify the nearest point of the Oriental Ocean.

## History

Novaterra has a rather strange history. The planet itself is very old, thought to be about as old as the universe itself. There aren't many concrete historical records of the planet but more or so myths rather than actual records. It is known that modern humans emerged around 12.000 years ago. Back in those times there weren't that many proper governments and humans defended their own acclaimed territory by sheer might. There were many wars around the entire globe with only some areas achieving a level of peace only to wage war once again. This continued on and on until the first human interactions with Gods. The Gods themselves were beings of mystery, but they were worshipped in a sense by the people because they emitted energy that either helped or hinder them. Beings from the deepest part of the planet also rose up, calling these the Demons, led by a singular Demon Emperor of the same strange energy and mysteries. With these two major powers with complete different ideologies fighting over something unknown, they spread their magical essence on the planet indirectly during major conflicts, this was called Energy, which became the primary power source on the planet, giving mortals the abilities to do what the Gods could only do before. Fascinated with their influence on the humans, the Gods stayed around and saw civilizations rise and fall. Because of them staying there, they also allowed the Demonic Empires to influence the humans also, stimulating more conflicts between the two sides and the last being more deadly than the previous. Around 878 AY, the Gods decided to silently observe the humans to isolate themselves from conflict with the Demons, before fully leaving and leaving no trace behind around 112 MY. Whatever happened to them is up for debate.

Something which might have influenced their departure might be the incident that happened on a global scale in 111 MY, something that has been described as so powerful and destructive that all of the 5 Universal Forces came to stop it, sealing it away in some sort of way. If this is true is still currently unknown. Since their departure, the Demonic Empires started expanding on the surface of the planet and started fighting among themselves for regional power. This was primarily also caused by the fact of the Demon Emperor. This made the Demonic Empires split apart into their own regional groups and separated from the original goal that they had in mind. Due to this the several human civilizations also started spreading across the different continents and spreading regional cultures. For most of the rest of history, much has stayed the same with the human civilizations.
