## Geographic Characteristics

### Continents

#### Nibar

A northern continent which contains the noble Lasmerian and powerhungry Kilvarian Empires as well as a connection to the northern landmass known as the Endless Ice through a path made from glaciers called the Frostwalk and the city-states known collectively as the Free-cities where the war does not reach and all are free.

#### Luxam

A largely tropical southern continent that contains the elusive Emberam Dynasty, a nation concerned only with itself and completely uninvolved in the war, remaining a trading partner of each of the warring nations, and many ruins lost to the vast sprawling jungle lands. Also referred to as the “Central Continent” due to its positioning on a map being directly in the center.

#### Telkan

A largely desert continent lying southeast of Luxam with small patches of bountiful oasis, it lacks larger civilizations like those of the Emberam Dynasty and Empires but makes up for it in the core spire city and nation of Agiactis which holds a massive portion of Telkan.

#### Ravera

The west lying scarred and crooked lands of Ravera are a troublesome task for most nations to take on, however, the nation of Iberus has managed to make its lands somewhat livable for the populace that resides there.

#### Grumarsh

A comparatively small rocky, forested marshland inhabited largely by various Zviera tribes, it is regarded as many as a place whose locals are trapped in the times of the ancient with little knowledge on the current era, modern technologies and research, and a distinct disdain for outsiders. Though Grumarsh itself is rich with mineral and magical plants and animals which cannot be found anywhere else.

#### Nurmier

The continent of Nurmier emerged late in the era of the Cosmic Wars, revealing that it, perhaps in an anicent time long past, had not always swam in the depths of the Luminous Sea with relics of civilizations long-past resurfacing with it. The Qo elves, abandoned by the larger societies of the world, even their own, travelled to the newly emerge continent and began a life there where they uncovered a dormint portal to Neraida, after some experimentation the portal was reawakened and immediately a change could be seen and felt in the area around the portal. Now, after a stretch of several years, the whole continent of Nurmier and some of its surrounding islands/seas have seemingly mutated into fae hybrids of their former selves.

### Layout of the Continents

Nibar is the upper most northern continent with Ravera lying just slightly lower and more to the west of it, to the south and slightly east of Ravera is Grumarsh before we hop over the Itruvan sea to the southern continent of Miques. Across the Cross-Salt is Luxam, slightly lower in position to Nibar then Nurmier to the southeast of it.

### Oceans

* Cross-Salt: The highly salt based ocean between Nibar and the eastern continents of Luxam and Nurmier.
* Foucest: Ocean surrounding Nibar, Ravera, and Grumarsh.
* Itruvan sea: Seperater of Miques from all the other continents.

### Nations

There are many nations within the world of Xaekla with there being a few that are the most prominent and well known such as:

#### Lasmerian Empire

On the northern continent of Nibar, the Lasmerian empire are hopeless romantics to the intricacies of magic and the gods, they sponsor the most well known magical institute of all the lands, Ilgith’s Academy of Arcana. Their war with the Kilvarian empire has been a long one since the nations were first founded on neighboring ends of Nibar.

#### Kilvarian Empire

On the northern continent of Nibar within the frigidity of the Glacial Expanse, the Kilvarian empire has long hated the use of magic and spellcasters, deeming them hellspawn and heretics. Their Empire revolves around the Kilvarian Pantheon, one that is known for its hatred of non-humans.

#### Emberam Dynasty

On the southern continent of Luxam resting largely around the coastal jungles is the Emberam Dynasty, it has a disdain of both nations and has absolved themselves from the conflict but has remained in prominent trade with both rivaling nations, appearing to each empire respectively as a declaration of ally ship.

#### Iberus Collective

Residing on the western continent of Ravera, one known for its perilous landscape and drab appearances, the Iberus Collective have made the drab lands more sustainable for their citizens and in turn gained mounting favor with the other nations. Iberus fights against the Kilvarian Empire alongside the Lasmerian Empire as the whole reason the Iberus Collective exists is due to druids who aid and live among the populace.

#### Nation of Agiactis

Located on the sprawling desert continent of Telkan, the Nation of Agiactis holds its capital in a region known as the Oasis. The Oasis, also called the Cresant of Alavandra, is the stripe of land following the marquet river that is lush with greenary and fertile with magical energy where the arcane leylines intersect.

#### Faeglade Allience

On the fae influenced continent of Numier resides the Faeglade Allience, a collective of small and large tribes and clans composed mainly of fae creatures who slowly evolved over time to be what they are or came through one of the various portals which reside on the continent, it is ruled by a concil of the largest tribes which are often called Familes or Houses, the largest houses "adopt" smaller ones to protect under their wing essentially making their house larger.
