Setting

• Time Period: Medieval-Era High-Fantasy
• World Details: The continent of Thala'nas is vast, with an inner and outer section are separated by a magic barrier. The inner continent is called Twilight's Grove, ruled by Five Chosen (Life, Death, Chaos, Order, Time) who have been picked by their Ancients. Being surrounded by fields of flowers, Twilight's Grove is considered the Last Haven of the Realm. The Grove is in a constant, eternal Summer.

Outside of the Grove, however, is the Wastes. A frozen, treacherous wasteland that is more likely to destroy anything that lives there than host it. The Wastes is considered to be a land cursed by the Ancients, forever cold and unable to sustain civilizations for long periods of time. The residents of the Grove consider those of the Wastes to be brutal, unfeeling monsters.
