Hyrhafell

**Weave**: strong; x2; spells are bumped up 1 lvl (even if you don’t have access to the next spell lvl) and cantrips do 1 more die of damage (any player/npc from Hyrhafell would have a new language (**Hira**) place of the racial one), the races of Hyrhafell have an average lifespan of 300 years

## **Races**

Aasimar, Tieflings and Genasi. (Also constructs/warforged)

This world is so strong with the weave that its inhabitants are shaped by the force of it. The plane touched races do not descend from beings of light, dark and the elements but from the forces of the weave; it doesn’t matter what their parents were to determine what a child will become. It is even possible for twins and triplets to be different races. Because of their connection to the weave the people of Hyrhafell can feel the pull to travel to other worlds like an instinct when the universe calls out to them.

Because of this, there is little in the way of unique Aasimar, Tiefling and Genasi culture or distinct cities or territories. This world is varied in its lands but because of how strong the weave is it seems that every land has overlapping features and the seasons move like weather on another world. There is a mountain range where the peaks are submerged in a floating lake. There is a volcanic island with a massive forest that doesn’t burn when the volcano erupts. It is possible for someone of another race to be changed if staying in this world for too long.

Because of the strong ties the people of Hyrhafell have to the weave their culture is far more socialistic than others like the Elves or Dwarves. There are cities, towns and such but there are no distinct counties or rulership, all citizens of Hyrhafell are able to freely move from one location to another and because the races have no distinct origin there is little to no racism even towards the other races of the realm. Because of the culture of Hyrhafell, it takes a lot of adjustment for anyone who leaves to get used to using currency. (This world also has the oldest civilization of the realm)

## **Locations**

Hyrhafell is a smaller world even with such extreme geographical features, the major cities are geflügelt; a city in a low-lying valley with a river that runs all around it and mountains outside of the river. Beschattet; a city built on waterways that are always frozen over, despite the water underneath being warm. Ruhe a large city that’s broken into segments by huge trees and forested areas.

## **Brief history**

Hyrhafell is the oldest world in the realm but the people of Hyrhafell have no real creation myth. Hyrhafell has the strongest connection to the weave so its people and its lands are like nothing other, change comes often and frequent to this world and it is connected to many other worlds at different points(though not all have been found). There is a legend that before this realm came to be, two or more worlds once collided causing Hyrhafell be too formed from the explosion of energy and causing a rift in reality that brought about this realm. The history of its people is well tracked with a few missing eras from anomalies that happen. Thought they look different and have different abilities the people of Hyrhafell see themselves as one. The cities have councils and all communicate with one another to keep order. All citizens spend time on the council to make sure all needs are meet and all concerns are heard. Though this is a socialist world, individual identity is still important to the people so identity expression is as diverse as the lands.

There are some citizens of long lived races who after staying in Hyrhafell were changed by the weave and it can be easy to spot those people as it can take a long time to assimilate into Hyrha culture. This world is more technologically advanced, being the oldest civilization and with such strong magics; there are airships, trains and advance sending stones that can be used freely to anyone you know. 80% of the people of Hyrhafell live in one of the three main cities but there are a few small townships; one in the floating mountains, one in the rainbow desert and one in the valley of stars.

Hyrhafell was not always a peaceful world, as its lands and people are ever shifting it took eons to get to where it is today. The world used to be divided by reigns and wars were fought as troupes moved with the changing seasons to hold control over resources. Those who did give into more selfish desires were changed by the powerful magics of this land into more bestial beings that used their influence to gain followers. Pointless wars raged on by people who had no real differences from one another There are rumours that there might be cultists hidden within Hyrhafell that seek to tip the balance that has been so hard earned. Many elves from Svahroll will cross over into Hyrhafell to study at their universities

Gender is a form of expression on Hyrhafell; rather than being tied to a person’s body it’s extremely fluid and there are as many genders as there are people. When someone from Hyrhafell travels to other worlds, they understand gender might be more fixed on other worlds and some might conform to fit in but most just carry on with however they feel like expressing that day. Someone traveling from Hyrhafell is likely to pack outfits that they would use to present as a single gender on worlds like Vallorrorr to switch as needed for social settings.

Gender? We have full socialism so there are no restraints of gender expression!

**Economy**: coins are not used at all in Hyrhafell. The people work together to make sure everyone’s needs are being met and no one is exceeding their needs. There are still shops like you’d find in other worlds but citizens and visitors use their identification to “purchase” items. Goods are classified to keep track and prevent hoarding. First time visitors to Hyrhafell should make their way to a visitor center in order to get a card and be given a rundown of the social norms. Weapons and powerful magic items are strictly controlled but some magic items and potions can be procured.
