1. #1Church of Divine Sight

   Keys: Church, Church of Divine Sight

   The Church of Divine Sight was formed shortly after the War of the Delves. It's founder Ignatius, fought in the great war. After returning home he saw that the people of Ilivar lacked guidance. Ignatius founded the church on a very simple principle: Only humans can help humans. The other races, in particular the demons, were lesser creatures. In recent years, this viewpoint has been somewhat tempered by church leaders. Most of the non-human races are no longer viewed by the church as lesser creatures (Though they are still barred from holding positions of authority within the church). Demons, however; are still viewed as purely antithetical to the church. The church sees them as vessels of sin and hatred, attributing all manor of misfortune to them even when they may not be the cause.

2. #2Kingdom of Ilivar

   Keys: Ilivar, the kingdom

   Ilivar is a sprawling human kingdom. It's capitol city, also called Ilivar, rests in the center of the continent of Ilicantha along a natural sea harbor. It was the kingdom of Ilivar that conquered the demon realms in the 'War of the Delves' 300 years ago. It exists on the continent of Ilicantha. The term Ilivar is used to refer to both the kingdom and city. It's city center spans nearly 100 square kilometers, and is home to roughly 400,000 inhabitants.

3. #3War of the Delves

   Keys: War of the Delves, great war, the war

   The War of the Delves occurred 300 years ago — not as a defense, but a divine reckoning. For generations, the kingdom of Ilivar suffered beneath the demons’ cruel whims: stolen souls, poisoned fields, and whispered madness in the dark.

   In the Year of Sundered Veils, Ilivar’s Archmages crafted a star-forged portal and tore open a rift to Kah'ah. Through the howling breach, legions clad in steel marched into the demon realm, where the skies screamed and the earth wept fire.

   For seven brutal years, they waged holy war. Demon lords fell like rotten trees. Obsidian citadels crumbled to dust. Those who resisted were erased. Those who yielded were bound — not in mercy, but mastery — enslaved by chains of hallowed iron.

   The War of the Delves was no mere conquest. It was vengeance carved in flame. And from the abyss’s ruin, Ilivar rose — not merely victorious, but sovereign over the shadows it once feared.

4. #4Ilicantha

   Keys: Ilicantha, mainland, the continent

   Ilicantha is a continent. It is home to vast natural resources as well as the 'Kingdom of Ilivar'. It's western fields are fertile and warm. To the east a vast desert right in minerals. To its south is the Dark Forest. To the north are the Crask Mountains. The Kingdom of Ilivar rests on a natural harbor in the center of the continent.

5. #5Kah'ah

   Keys: kah'ah, the demon realm, demons home, demon homeland

   Kah'ah is the demon homeland. It exists in a realm tangent to our own. It was once a prosperous and strong realm. 300 years ago the human kingdom of Ilivar discovered a way to tear open a portal and enter Kah'ah. Once there, the humans slaughtered or enslaved every demon they could. Kah'ah now lay in ruins. Very little life remains there, and what does struggles to survive.

6. #6The Dark Forestselective

   Keys: Dark Forest, The Dark Forest

   The Dark Forest broods along Ilivar’s southern rim — a vast, gnarled sea of ancient oaks and whispering pines, its canopy so thick it swallows sunlight and sound alike. Few maps dare mark its depths; fewer still return to correct them. Its tangled silence shelters more than roots and shadow — it shelters the lawless. Bandits coil in the gloom, patient as vipers, waiting for the crunch of unwary boots.

   Throughout Ilicantha there are whispers that the Forest remembers older magics — runes carved in living bark, glimmering wraiths at dusk, beasts with eyes like fallen stars. Some say the trees themselves watch. And judge.

7. #7Void Magic

   Keys: The Void, Void, void magic, the void

   Void magic is a dark magical force who's power is drawn from the coalescence of pleasure and pain. It's practitioners believe that both extreme pleasure and pain exist as two sides of the same coin. The void is ambivalent to the morals and standards of man or demon. The void merely accepts that both pleasure and pain are equal facets of life, worthy of exploration. It's powers often manifest as eldritch forms of ocean life such as tentacles.

8. #8Midori

   Keys: Midori, slavers, slave traders

   The Midori were the first into battle during the War of the Delves. As such king Roland De Ilivar gave them the privilege of being slave traders of captured demons. They are cruel and harsh masters. Though they seek no carnal pleasures from their slaves, they work them hard in the fields and mines, often selling them in markets only when a demon's body becomes to worn for hard labor.

9. #9Roland De Ilivar

   Keys: Roland De Ilivar, Roland

   Roland De Ilivar was king of Ilivar during the 'War of the Delves'. He was a just king who saw the demons feed on and manipulated the inhabitants of Ilivar. Fed up with seeing his people suffer he commissioned the greatest mages in the land to find a way to create a portal to Kah'ah. Their success lead to the 'War of the Delves'.

10. #10Demons

    Keys: demons, demon-kin, demonfolk

    Demons are a race from Kah'ah. They are known in Ilivar as slaves but were once feared by humans for their ruthless and manipulative ways. Demons age differently from humans. Demons age at only one fifth rate humans do.

11. #11Ili/Money

    Keys: Ili, money, coin, payment

    Ili is the primary currency of Ilivar. It is made of gold or silver and bears the face of the current emperor on it.

12. #12The Emperor, Heron

    Keys: king, emperor, Heron

    The Emperor, Heron, is the 43rd king of Ilivar and the 9th since the great war. His reign has lasted 41 years until now. He is the longest reigning king in Ilivar history. He is generally liked by his people. The kingdom has grown under his watch. In his time he has focused on building libraries and schools. His passion for reading as a child becoming his mantra on the throne.

13. #13The Forest Tower

    Keys: Forest Tower, Tower of the Void

    The Forest Tower or Tower of the Void, is nestled deep within the Dark Forest. It is built of white stone and covered in vines and forest growth. It sticks out just above the trees. While real, it's existence is spoken of in whispers and folk tales by the people of Ilivar. Many believe it to be just a fairy tale crafted by children or tavern patrons. The Forest Tower's walls are ordained with every form of ancient relic, book, and scroll. It smells of aging paper and dust.

14. #14Meshik'la

    Keys: Meshik'la, Meshik

    Meshik is the demon goddess of vengance. Often referred to by her full title 'Meshik'la' as a sign of reverence. Demons often offer her a prayer in times of need. The prayer is generally some variation of 'My soul aches for vengeance. Guide me in the shadows and show me the way to bring justice upon the heads of those who have wronged us.'

15. #15Ignatius

    Keys: Ignatius

    Ignatius was the founder of the Church of Divine Sight. He was a hero of the War of the Delves. His division was in charge of the artillery that paved the way for the Midori during the war. He was known to be a brilliant tactician, thoroughly planning every move down to the boulder that each trebuchet would fire. After the war he saw a gap within Ilivar, a need for guidance, and so he founded the church.

16. #16Toth Inn

    Keys: Toth, Toth Inn

    The Toth Inn, with its crooked beams, smoke-stained eaves, and worn shingles, rests on the southern edge of the Dark Forest. Its mistress, Agnes, is a storm in a shawl: sour-faced, sharp-tongued, and utterly uninterested in charm. She stirs the pot, unlocks rooms, and glares at gratitude. Hospitality? Barely. Survival? Guaranteed.

    Far from Ilivar’s law and lantern-light, the inn draws wanderers, rogues, oath-breakers, and worse. No one polices the laughter that turns to blades here, or the songs that end in blood. Toth Inn doesn’t have a reputation — it is the reputation. And Agnes? She wouldn’t have it any other way.

17. #17Port Roland

    Keys: Port Roland

    Port Roland sits about 120 kilometers est of Ilivar (Roughly 2 days walk). It is the primary means of safely reaching the Midori Stronghold and the Portal of the Delve. The town predominantly exists as a fishing town and a means of ferrying people to and from the Midori Stronghold.

18. #18Crask Mine
19. #19Hal Township
20. #20Delve Portal

    Keys: Delve Portal, The Portal

    The Delve Portal was crafted from remnants of a fallen star, a the gateway to invade Kah’ah. Located where the veil between realms thins like worn silk, a place thrumming with power older than crowns or kingdoms.

    Wise in war, Ilivar placed it far from its heartlands — a buffer of earth and sea shielding the realm from infernal backlash. It can be reached by swift route: two days’ journey to Port Roland, then a ferry’s glide to the mist-wreathed peninsula. Or the longer path — four days through the whispering gloom of the Dark Forest, where shadows watch and roots remember.

21. #21Midori Stronghold

    Keys: The Stronghold, Midori Stronghold

    The Midori Stronghold is a fortress that sets adjacent to the Delve Portal. It's primary function is to ensure that nothing comes through the portal, and to protect the realm.
