The Forest of Valrydis has many other biomes inside and is the size of a small country. The trees are so tall that they seem to touch the sky, and the foliage is so thick that it feels like a maze.

   Keys: Runa, World

   The world of Runa is a land of magic and prosperity; the various races have their own use of magic and culture around it. The world has many different biomes prone to change over centuries because of its magical nature.

   The west is occupied by the Empire of Solumn, the Xocan nation and the Rykaran Queendom. As well as other civilised factions.

   The Demonic Legion calls the southern badlands their home.

   Elyria, the elven kingdom, occupies a small part of the east.

   Most of Runa East is unoccupied and dangerous wildlands.

   Right at the center of Runa is The Spiral Edge.

   At the furthest north is the frozen land, home of the Nea.

   The forest of Valrydis occupies a vast part of the center and southeastern part of the continent, separating West and East Runa.

   Summary:

   [Runa territories repartition: At the very center of Runa is the spiral edge, inhabited only by nightmarish and sometimes even eldritch creatures, but since the territory is mostly far beneath Runa, "most" things never leave. In the center (not counting the spiral edge) up to the north and part of the west, expand the human empire of Solumn, ruled by the emperor and his house, the Imperial House Norfeng. The empire is ruthless in its expansion and controls its population. Far east is mostly wild lands and many communities of minor races and elves wanting to live far away from the Empire. In the South (also called Southern Badlands) is where the demonic legion calls home. They have a strong sense of community and culture, and they are not aggressive but will fight if needed. The Rykaran Kingdom territory, mostly inhabited by the Neôn'itar race, surrounds the highest peak of Runa called the Ancestral Peak and is protected by the Heaven warriors. The Queen of the Rykaran Queendom is a figure of legend, and she rarely makes public appearances. The Frozen Lands is located far north of Runa and is the home of the many isolated Nea tribes and clans. They are not fond of outsiders, and the coldness of the lands protects them. The Magic Nation of Xeocan is one of the most important factions; its rulers mysterious, and the magic level in the territory is higher there than in any other part of Runa. Xeocan is said to be ruled by a council of 10 powerful mages. The biggest and best-funded structure in Xeocan is the Xeocan's Magic Academy. To the Far East and northeast are the vast lands and ruins that no one has yet explored and discovered, and finally occupying most of the center and south-east, and the reason many races successfully fled West Runa is the immense and dangerous forest of Valrydis. The Forest of Valrydis is home to many races, monsters, and spirits, The Borchi region is a vast region East of Valrydis and the entry point of East Runa. Many Lazari tribes with differing traits are scattered across East Runa or in the isolated ancient city of Marankos. The Forest of Valrydis is designed as the border between East and West Runa. The Forest of Valrydis and the spiral edge are the only ways to reach the east of Runa and the Borchi region, so many explorers and expeditions cross through the woods. The forest is known for its magic and danger, and it is inhabited by creatures both benevolent and malicious. The explorers guild has a good presence and reputation in the forest.

8. #8The Elves

   Keys: East Runa, Elves, Elf

   The elves have pale skin, elongated ears, and mostly have green and blue eyes.

   The hair and eye color are what make the various separated communities elves unique.

   The elven race in the fantasy world of Runa are a broken-up kind, with their individuals mostly blending into the other races territories, except into Solumn territories, which most of the elves blame for the state of their people. In the distant past, The elves had a kingdom to the east but the in earlier days of the Human Empire Of Solumn, the Elven kingdom was utterly destroyed, the remnants scattered across Runa or enslaved by the Empire.

   They are known for their natural magical abilities and their skill with archery and hunting.

   The elves lifespan has greatly diminished since their glorious age; they now, at most, can reach 400 years, when before, their kind could live thousands of years. Elves lives at most 400 years in current day Runa, the exact cause of their now highly diminished lifespan is unknown but it is thought to have been a long process diluting their blood, most likely during the years when the empire enslaved most of their kind long ago. Implying most of today's elves are far from pureblooded, a few pureblood elves, or "Elyrians," are still around and are highly revered among their own race.

   Many communities of elves exist in the wild east of Runa, but they mostly keep to each other and have little interaction with the other races.

   [Elves lifespans widely vary depending on their innate mana and how cursed their bloodlines were by Solumn.]

9. #9The Luminarii

   The Luminarii are one of the ancient races of Runa.

   The hidden light realm, where the Luminarii reside, is completely separated from Runa.

   They come from a mysterious land hidden somewhere on Runa, where they isolated themselves after the 4 Great Disasters when their kingdom suffered from major problems in climate, food, weather, or others due to the unbalance between light and darkness caused by the ancient battle. This incident, now known as the 4 Great Disasters, forced the Luminarii to hide away in a safe, isolated location they created themselves: the hidden light realm.

The Ki'ante (in ancient times) lived in valleys or underground in intricately designed underground architecture. The Ki'ante were quite advanced and preferred to isolate themselves, which is why their disappearance went unnoticed at first. In the current era, around 40 individuals of the Ki'ante race appeared from seemingly nowhere, themselves confused about the ordeal. Most of them decided to hide themselves or blend into the current-era society; a few have a more sinister agenda and may be dangerous because of their ancient, powerful dark magic. Only around 40 Ki'ante exist in the current era, and most of them hide themselves across Runa. Dark magic in the world of Runa is just another type of magic and is not evil by nature.

    Keys: Efrein

    The province is technically part of the Empire of Solumn, but the ruling clan, the Drakeroot clan, ceased communication with the empire years ago after a mysterious man named Tane took control of the clan and the province.

    The province under the rule of the Drakeroot clan, Efrein, is a land of darkness and corruption. The once fertile land is now infertile and barren. The population of Efrein is used as cattle for the Drakeroot and Tane's experiments, and most of the people here are treated as less than humans. The people of Efrein have given up hope and have lost all sense of identity, as their masters have taken everything from them. Some men have been mixed into monsters called "chimera" by Tane and the Drakeroot clan. The remaining towns and villages are mostly ruined, with the population who remained sane barely surviving. The animals have been mutated and changed into hideous abominations. The once-thriving wildlife is now reduced to mindless beasts, their existence fueled by the twisted magics of the Drakeroot and Tane.

Nem and Shua's psyches were both broken to a certain point; Nem shielded her mind by resigning herself to obedience while Shua dealt with her broken mind in vastly unpredictable and primal ways.
