The World Of Asera

## Summary

The World of Asera, home to many different species of man and creatures. A place where magic flows throughout the world being harnessed by those who reside within it. The World is split up into four named continents, Demeral Empire, Brakutor Empire, Lairel Kingdom, and the Duham Kingdom. However, there also lies the deadly Knife's Edge, home to a harsh climate.

# *Dameral Empire:*

An Empire made and created by vampires to keep their people safe. The Empire was made to train the new generation and organize their people. They are very secretive with their information. When the world map was being written they only allowed scripters the name of their empire. Any other information about the continent is hidden and secretive. The continent is protected by an ocean and a very harsh mountain climate. No one dares take a step onto their continent because of the climate and fear of death. The Empire is currently rules by an Unknown Queen, however, most political decisions are made by a Council comprised of Elder’s

# *Brakutor Empire:*

The biggest kingdom out of all the factions housing the stubborn race of humans. The weakest species in all of the lands however somehow they occupy more territory than any other race. These territories are not on good terms with most of their neighbors.

The “Brakutor Empire” is the capital of the human land, surrounded by the sea and only connected to the land by two great bridges.

The Brakutor Cove is The Empire's claim to the sea. Trades are made throughout the Kingdom, Supervised by the Royal Navy to make sure there are no illegal activities going on under the shadow of the Empire.

The Emperor, “Vanor Valleron” and his Empress, “Selaena Valleron, rule this country under an iron fist, not tolerating any kind of treason or outsiders. Zora Valleron and Zijan Valleron are the children of the Empire.

# *Lairel Kingdom:*

The Gaia-blessed lands stretch throughout the entirety of the Elven Kingdom. The woods granted cover and secrecy against all other nations. Along with that, the forests were enchanted, making it a great maze for those that don’t know their way.

The great elvish capital, “Lairel Kingdom”, stands in the midst of many mountains surrounded by confusing forests. Here, the high-society lives, otherwise known as “High-Elves”. With their affinity to magic and their great scholarly advances, they are the pride of their species. The area surrounding the capital habits some elven-made floating islands as well.

The elves themselves, the higher in society they are the more they hate outsiders, specifically humans. Those that live on the borders absolutely adore humans, however, the King of the Elves absolutely hates them, especially since the humans keep encroaching on Gaia’s forest.

The true staple of the Elven lands is the Dryatrentiay, a sacred tree that provides a bridge to connect the lands with the land that houses the capital. This same tree gives life to the whole forest, and it was once where Gaia slept when she made her visits to the mortal realms. It is also where Gaia’s creations (treants, etc.) live to protect the forests and the elven capital.

The rest of the forest houses smaller elven cities and towns, all with their own little quirks. The ones closer to the borders also house some other races that try to explore the forests.

The truly enchanted forests lie within the Moon’s Domain, otherwise known as simply the “Moon’s Forest”. This forest was given to the Moon Goddess as a present from Gaia. Here those that have been exiled or those that do not have a home live here, they are deemed, “Moon’s Children”. The nomadic tribe of Lunar Elves also make their home here, banished long ago from normal elven society due to their obsessive beliefs for the moon. Along with the Lunar Elves, other species live there like the obscure Fae, the moon-blessed wildlife, and the few tribes of previously banished Lycans who joined together in order to survive. This forest is not an easy task to travel through, the canopy of trees almost always covers the place in darkness, and the mountain that always points towards the rising of the moon aids the shadows. In contrast to the difficult landscape, the denizens of this forest are fairly passive, walking in the shoes of their beloved deity.

-The main society in the Moon’s Forest, Lune’a, rules under a Lunar Elf named Faelyn, it’s hidden deep within the forest but gives a respite for all of the moon’s denizens.

# *Duham Kingdom:*

This harsh, snowy, and mountainous environment houses the mighty and stone-hewn dwarves. The path into said territory is extremely lethal to those that can’t handle the cold, with ravines and avalanches galore. The territory itself isn’t all that big compared to that of the humans, however, the dwarves like to keep it that way rather enjoying keeping their stretch of land.

One of the great prides of this land is the “Duham Kingdom”, led by the mighty Raldrick Cragsword and his council. The King’s council houses six other dwarves, one from each respected high tribe, and they all work together to ensure peace within and outside the lands. The reign of Raldrick is almost past-due, a King only sitting on the throne for 150 years until the people elect one from the council to take his place and the old King sits back in the council. However, with so much trouble within the dwarven territory, Raldrick has had to remain king for much longer, the reign lasting almost two years now.

The other pride of the nation happens to be the many ore-filled quarries they operate. Filled to the brim most times with valuable ores and gems. The dwarven blacksmiths that live in this territory are widely sought after as well for their quality and craftsmanship with all sorts of weapons, armors, and tools.

The “Sea of Serpents” holds its place on the southernmost side of the dwarvish territory. As the name suggests, the mighty serpents plague and terrorize this side of the ocean, destroying ships and even whole navys at a time. The dwarves themselves are fairly reluctant to even travel through that sea anymore, not wanting to lose any more brothers or sisters.

# *Wylmeir Kingdom:*

       This North-Western kingdom is enclosed by the Iceheart mountains that prevent a large amount of trade coming into and leaving the kingdom, this also prevents large military movements affecting the kingdom. This lack of large armies has not prevented internal struggles. The current princes recently had an altercation resulting in Prince Roger leaving the kingdom and going into exile. The current prince is Prince Brian also known as “The Black Prince” because of his harsh treatment of his subjects and the execution of anyone who opposes him. It was The Black Prince’s attempted assassinations on his brother that led Prince Roger to leave his home. The kingdom is under martial law as Prince Brian is the de facto ruler whilst his father is ill and travelers are not welcome. The current problems in the world are not seen as their problem so they refuse to send aid to surrounding kingdoms.

     The kingdom is 90% underwater and the number of towns and cities are unknown to outsiders. There are many trenches and tunnels beneath the dark waters that are unexplored by outside forces. This prevents other races invading the lands.

    The capital city is known by all, it is the city of Deepcrag and it is a beacon in the dark depths of the freezing oceans. The halls are filled with breathable air and they can receive any race in the grand halls of this underwater fortress.

# *Knife’s Edge:*

For as long as it has been known dragons have always been around. They are known for their different species and aggressive, territorial nature. Yet due to many people hunting or eradicating them due to fear of their strength or for their scales as they can be forged into great weapons or armor. Many have been forced into hiding or scattered across the world and terrains. The rest have been killed.

Most known for their immense strength and ability to fly coupled with their different capabilities people have run across many different kinds of dragon. It is known that there are three different classes of dragons from which it has been told. Some dragons have subpar intelligence and drive purely on animalistic instincts. Others dwell in more magical aspects, they have great intelligence transforming between their human and dragon forms.

The top class is known for their mastery of elemental control. Their powers are similar to that of the magical class, high intelligence and ability to shift into human forms, however one main problem is their pride in themselves as dragons making them tough to communicate and cooperate with. They mostly only congregate with their kin yet there have been a few that adore others and look to learn more about them, and even consider them allies.

Most dragons live in Wyverns End, a volcanic location where the lower slopes are craggy and desolate; however if you are able to reach the top you will find many dragons of all classes and possibly the 9 elders.

The 9 elder dragons are the strongest of all dragons and they command their primary element or affinity with the utmost control. These elements are as follows: Air, Water, Earth, Metal, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Holy, Curse, and Magic. In recent years two of the elders have disappeared and whispers tell that the enemy of all civilized races, Malleo Mortis slew them in an assault on their home.
