Agara

**Agara**, known to the Kells as **Agah're**, and to the Dracae as **Ahgardu**, is the focal point of the multiverse, located in the very center of the Mortal Realm. Mostly unexplored, Agara is mostly covered in deep seas of water, with various continents and islands scattered throughout, all with very different climates and inhabitants.

Erseval and Svirun are the two main continents of Agara, located in the northern hemisphere in an area currently dominated by the races of Men.

## Origins

Due to religious and cultural differences among the many societies present in Agara, there is no clear origin to this plane of existence. Many have assumptions, beliefs, and ideas, but there has never been concrete evidence as to just what created Agara.

## Regions

There are many different different regions within Agara, all with different environments, climates, and inhabitants.

### Svirun

The continent of Svirun is located to the east of the Ionad sea in the northern hemisphere, and to the west of the Sea of Shivers. It is split into four regions; Valkendur, Lothor, Draven, and Norstrei.

* **Valkendur** is a frigid region in the north that is home to the Skald. With long frigid winters, it is a generally harsh area year-round, and is primarily known for it's clan-based society.
* **Lothor** is a forested region in the western portion of Svirun. Home to the Kells, it has a moderate climate and is ruled by a collection of Kell tribes.
* **Draven** is a swampy land in the east part of Svirun. Inhabited by the Griswulf, it has a moderate climate and is ruled by the Griswulf Empire.
* **Norstrei** is a barren region of rocky valleys and cliffs that were once home to the fearsome Drakes. Now home to the Tarragon, Norstrei does not currently have any form of organized government.

### Erseval

The continent of Erseval is located to the west of the Ionad Sea in the northern hemisphere. It is split into three regions; Yakone, Deniska, and Petrides.

* **Yakone** is a massive region in the far north that is made up of icy planes and mountains that touch the sky. Homeland of the Inuk, it is a frigid land for a majority of the year, and is ruled by the Inuk Empire.
* **Deniska** is a war-torn region in the central part of Erseval, and home of the Krasimir. It has a cool climate and does not currently have any form of organized government.
* **Petrides** is a powerful region in the south portion of Erseval that is home to the Arenese people. It is made up of both mountains and hilly fields, has a warm climate, and is ruled by the Arenese Empire.

### Skaldenfar

The original home of the Skald, Skaldenfar is a frozen island to the far north of Svirun, separated by the Derodane Ocean, that is barely habitable to most races. Made up of frozen forests and valleys, it is currently inhabited by the Jötunn.

### Hagire's Rock

An abandoned island once populated by a mysterious people belonging to the long lost Hagire Empire. Filled with deserted towns, forts, and kingdoms, it is a primarily hill area with a moderate climate. Currently, it is not ruled by any empire due to the abundance of monsters living among it's ruins.

### Turan

A large island off the southern coast of Svirun, Turan is a land of rocky mesas and red soil. With very little natural vegetation, it was settled in 220 AM by Tavini and Arenese settlers, and is currently territory of the Arenese Empire.

### Acraria

Acraria is a small continent off the southern coast of Turan, made up of parched deserts to the north, hot savannas to the southeast, and lush rainforests to the southwest. Homeland of the Tavini, Acraria is split into three different provinces, one of which is a territory of the Arenese Empire.

### Epria and Treca

Homelands of the Marid, Epria and Treca are two small islands located alongside the southern coast of Acraria. Both made up of colorful rainforests and bogs, they are both ruled by the Marid people

### Heart of Agara

Located in the center of the Sea of Blood, the Heart of Agara is a small island with a gigantic kingdom in the center. With similar architecture to that of the Hagire Empire, it is impossible to explore due to the undead army that defends it, growing larger with every fallen soldier that explores it.

### Odana

A large island to the far south of the Sea of Blood, Odana is a mysterious and uninhabited land made up of different forests, mountains, and planes. Only three ships have ever made it so far through the Sea of Blood to explore this island and return alive, and very little is known about it.

### Oda-Sig

Separated from Odana to the north by the Odana Canal, Oda-Sig is a narrow island with large rocky mountains and a single volcano known as Mount Malum. Little is known about this island.

### Nerevathe

A small continent to the east of Odana, Nerevathe is known only from ancient scriptures from Hagire ruins. Nothing else is known of it but it's location in the middle of the Black Sea.

### The White Isles

The White Isles are another group of islands just east of Odana. Like Nerevathe, nothing is known of it except it's location in the center of the Black Sea.
