Yggdra

**Yggdra** is a Plane of the Exteria Multiverse. It takes the shape of several Subplanes, each with their own rules, but all of them overseen by a powerful council of elemental Great Spirits. Its Territory Lord is Origin.

## General Morphology

### Magic

Magic in Yggdra is tied to the use of the eight main Elements as well as non-elemental powers tied to Greater Spirits, and is quite common.

### Technology

Technology level in Yggdra varies from region to region, but usually reaches at least steampunk level, or even a futuristic level, in some regions of each world.

## Feldrant

### Geography

The region of **Superia** above the surface, inhabited by humans, was composed of the watery **Cyandina**, the holy land of **Askaluna**, the windy peaks of **Yutia** and the snowy **Celsian** region; the region of **Inferia** where Chimeras were caged was composed of the isolated peaks of **Voltia**, the fiery lands of **Ifreeti**, the gloomy **Shadtown**, and the isolated **Gnomand**, each centered around the palace of Lysander Lysandria. Eventually however, the two regions returned to their original shape - the merged world of Feldrant.

### Politics

Superia is ruled by the powerful and influential Urielle Themia maintaining a religious equilibrium, while warlord Lysander rules over Inferia. The pair, distrustful of each other, were eventually brought back together by Oriana Lysandria.

## Cindrion

### Geography

Cindrion is a small plane constituted of four main territories : the northern student city of **Celseria**, the western holy lands of **Belteria**, and the constantly warring lands of the southern ritualistic **Hashep** and eastern technologically developed **Florenzacia.** The main territory is surrounded by many islands, among which the magically isolated holy land of **Archadia** and the corrupted hellish **Asphodel**.

### Politics

While Florenzacia and Hashep wage wars over territory and past griefs, the entire territory is dominated by the Church which is itself directed by Mariya Cypr and encourages the worship of First Messiah Emmanuah.

## Derris

### Geography

The Capital-City of Derris gives its name to the world's main continent, quite egotistically. An extremely varying continent, Derris holds high mountains and bright, lush forest areas in its western area, dominated by the **Pharos Cardinalis Iupiteris**; harsh deserts in the southernmost part, under the **Pharos Cardinalis Martis**; devastated Eredim ruins in the east, surrounding the **Pharos Cardinalis Mercuris**; and salted steppes in the north, under the **Pharos Cardinalis Veneris**. The entire planet is surrounded by a massive, mechanical ring-like structure, the **Kharlan Ring**.

### Magic

Magic in Derris is called Khemia, and is associated with the four primal elements: Earth, Fire, Water and Wind. Khemia is performed by using a Transmutation Circle that allows to modify the physical properties of a chosen elements. Transmutation Circles can be combined, but a single person can only usually manipulate a single Element, needing several people to perform multi-elemental Khemia.

The union of all elements is called **Solar Khemia**, and can warp reality according to the users' whims, and is usually the prerogative of the divine. Khemia is used by stimulating the world's Anima production using the Kharlan Ring as a giant Transmutation Circle, and as such controlling the Ring means controlling Khemia. The only exception is **Blood Khemia** - the art of using one's own blood to perform forbidden transmutation, such as physical modifications, mutations, as well as cursed weapon creation, in an effective blend of Khemia and Necromancy.

## Races

There are many races in Yggdra, a few of them more common than others.

### Bestians

Bestians are especially present in Cindrion, although it could be argued that Feldrant's Chimeras are a variant of Bestians as well. Katz, a mystical race of humanoid cats, are said to descend from Bestians as well.

### Chimeras

Chimeras are mostly present in Feldrant and appear as terrifying monsters, although such a thing is far from the truth; they are in fact a civilized society, albeit a harsh and militaristic one.

### Elves

Elves - with purple skin and blue hair - are a predominant race in Derris, and are called "the race of Air" due to their natural affinity with Air and Wind Khemia. They are mystical, whimsical, and free-spirited.

### Eredim

Eredim, also called Nobles, are the precursor race of Derris, and come from the moving planetary ring of Kharlan. They are the inventors of Khemia, despite being specifically tied to Water Khemia.

### Ersatz

**Ersatz** are a race of Homunculus-type Construct created from mud, blood and earth, to act as servants for Eredim and humans. Some of them seldom develop a sense of self and sentience. They are able to perform powerful Transmutation Artes, and have a natural affinity for Earth Khemia.

### Humans

Humans are, like often, the dominant race in Yggdra's planes. Yggdra's humans possess mid-high magical potential.

### Malakh

Malakhim are present in Cindrion as well, even more so after being expelled from their artificial heaven when the First Purification Ceremony was undone.
