Getting Started

***Welcome to Vasileio!***

This is a step by step guide on how to join our world, you'll be fighting demons any minute now! Or angels, if that's what you prefer....

## Understanding the world

Vasileio takes reference from a variety of sources such as the Elder Scrolls mythology, DnD mythology and Greek mythology, as well as a few others. However, it is still it's own story and there are a few key differences. Here is a rundown of some of the very basic elements of the world

### The land

*Vasileio can refer to the story or the physical world, in this section, however, only the physical world will be mentioned.*

Vasileio is made up of a variety of landmasses, but there are only three main places:

* Caelum: land of the humans - located to the far western side of the map
	+ Land is hot and dry, with sparse nature (think of Africa)
* Lyledell: land of the forest elves - located to the north east of the map
	+ Land is lush and wet, with highly dense nature (think of rainforests)
* Dimiourgos: land of the dwarves - located to the south east of the map
	+ Land is barren and rocky, with very sparse nature (think of rocky mountains)

There is also Pogeios, land of the dark elves but that is located underneath the surface of the world.

### The people

There are a vast collection of races in Vasileio with extensive histories and stereotypes, we will attempt to cover them quickly and simply here.

**Playable races**

This is a list of races that players are allowed to make playable characters with.

#### Undead

Undead are the deathly counterparts to the living, for example, a human skeleton is an undead counterpart of a human. They are found anywhere and vary just as much as demons and humans do.
