   The major continents:

   Comrin: a melting pot of all races, previously 7 nations, now all joined to form the Comrigaran Union, government is handled by a large council with each of the old countries acting as minor states and having some independence over their laws and governance but with major affairs of state being voted by all representatives from each minor state's locally elected council members. The currency was centralized to the Comrinian Lumia, often referred to as Clum. From the 7 nations, 2 were Human founded, 2 were Demi-Human founded, 1 was founded by Lycanthrope colonists, 1 was formed by the Orcs around where their portal opened and the last was formed around a multi-race coastal trading faction where a minor portal opened to the world where Merfolk came through.

   The Smoke Isles: A large collection of volcanic Island states, mostly home to the Draconic races, previously staunchly isolationist, with the technological advancements that came from these nations, trade and migration was opened up. Each nation has its own currency, but the largest, Zansaara, uses Zani.

   Todanis: The continent is split into 3 major nations with minor nations between. Aendrisor, a nation formed by the Elves, this nation has mostly remained Elven in its population. The Northern Skaalik collective, a nation founded in the northern wastes by the Lycanthropes. And The Dworgaron Collective, a nation formed from the mountain holds of the Dwarves. The Dworgaron Collective is the economic powerhouse on the continent, having the largest industrial capacity and while the other nations on the continent have their own currency, it's not uncommon for the Dworgaron Bit to be exchanged and most nations outside of the continent consider it the defacto currency when dealing on Todanis

   Each nation has its own population of Humans, Demi-Humans, Orcs and Vampires, not to mention the myriad of other races the world has seen enter through the lesser convergences.

   Modern scientists and arcane scholars have tried to find some sort of pattern or cause for the portals that appear on this world, but none have been able to even begin to get close to explain why or how these things happen, the general consensus is that this world is what is known as a plain of convergence, meaning that the magic that flows naturally within this world rides the line between other worlds and when the swirling vortexes of ether between worlds becomes tumultuous and reaches instability, a portal opens. But one thing that has stumped scholars and scientists is that the portals never appear in the same places and never go to the same world twice.

   Magic:

   Magic is a force that flows in abundance on this world, most races draw from it in some way. Elves use it for their spells and rituals, Dwarves harness it in their technology, The fire and transformations of Draconic races are fueled by it and Orc shamans use it in their ancient rites (though these are a lot less common in modern times as they were mostly used for war). Throughout the centuries since the great convergence, more and more races are becoming sensitive and able to harness the magic, this is believed to be due to cross breeding between races and the changes that being exposed to such high quantities of raw magic that flows in this world. Governments are looking to guide these changes by forming educational institutions for magic to be taught to those able to wield it but these are in the early stages and lead by Elven majority countries who are beginning to open up their magic schools to non-Elf students.

   Society on Comrin:

   Capital of Comrin: previously the site of the Elven portal Broad Crossing has held a significant historical status for over a thousand years, but now plays host to Comrins political cadre and

   The language on the continent of Comrin is known as The Common Tongue (or just Common), something all children are schooled in alongside the native tongue of their race if they so choose to learn it. The common tongue has its origins in the original human language but with influences from all races that has turned it into the language it is today.

   Racial interactions: With Comrin being a melting pot of all races, there is little in the way of prejudice, most races are catered to according to their own individual needs. There are those who feel a racial supremacy but those are few and far between and racial supremacy is seen as distasteful and generally shunned. Humans usually get the brunt of discrimination if there is any to be had, as they are the most plentiful race across the globe, making up 40% of the world's population. The discrimination comes from their distinct lack of any innate powers or strength.

   Less common but present races: Goblins, Gnomes, Gargoyles, Merfolk, Giants, Ogres, Minotaur, Centaur, Djinn, Hobgoblins, Fawn, Seraph (humanoids with Angel like wings), Golems, Dryads,

   Naming scheme: Names will tend to be those you will find in modern europe, with Elves being more latin names, Demi-Humans being northern european names, humans being english names, dwarves having celtic or gaelic names, Vampires having old germanic and Dragon Shifters having names from countries like poland and the czech republic.

   This is a fantasy world not connected to the real world, brand names will not be the same, historical figures will not be the same. For social media the world uses "NetPortal" in place of Facebook, "ShotSnaps" in place of snapchat and "Vissage" in place of instagram

   One fateful day, around 1300 years ago, portals opened on the world of Albicollia. Before this, the world was new, life was taking its first strides. A young race, Humans, had taken its first strides towards progress, in the fertile valleys small colonies were forming, cultures being formed. But the portals brought new life, races that Humans could hardly even imagine in their wildest fantasies. These portals connected to other worlds and the bravest of these worlds stepped through, bringing with them technological advancements and some brought the magic of their homes, and for 3 months these portals brought settlers, adventurers and those with wanderlust for a new start in a new world.

   The 6 portals of the great convergence:

   The portal to the Vilarias Elven world: This portal formed mere miles from the village of Broad Crossing, the humans came forward with their flint spears and reed shields and met the long lived Elves that stepped out. Clad in colourful silks with swords and armour that were past the humans wildest imagination, they mistook them for gods. But over time, the Elves stopped this notion and began to guide the Humans, once the language barrier was crossed and the Elves began to settle amongst the Humans.

   The portal to the world of Droknor: In the northern wastes of the world, a portal opened to and from it spilled forth creatures born in the darkness, creatures of blood and moonlight. The Lycanthropes came first, tall humanoids with sharp senses and sharper instincts, the scent of prey brought weaker packs from their dark world, struggling with the light of day but thriving in the moonlit nights, their wolf-like forms empowered by the moon. But where the Lycanthropes prowl, the sanguine covens of the Vampires will follow. The sun was abhorrent to the Vampires at first, their cold skin hating the warmth of its light, but over time they began to adapt. It took decades for the humans to first meet the wolf clans who now call the north their home and even longer for the reclusive and predatory vampires to openly introduce themselves to the world at large.

   The portal to the Wild lands: In the broad plains of the southern continent, life sprung forth from the portal. In the wild lands, humanoid creatures lived in plentiful groups, life had taken a similar path to that of the humans, but with one major difference, it was not one species that evolved and stood tall. It was all of them, the difference between humans and those of the Wild Lands? The remnants of their animal ancestors, ears, tails, heightened senses and strength. It took a few years for the interactions between Humans and the peoples of the Wild Lands, there was distrust at first but slowly they began to interact, their technological advances were on similar levels and over time these peoples began to be known as Demi-Humans.

   The portal to Gruzkuudak: The portal to this world opened in a village whose name was lost to time and the fires of the Orcs. From this portal sprung forth a raiding party of the Orc Tribe Grey Blood. The Orcs, a warlike race whose home world was ravaged by its primary race, the Orcs. So when a portal opened up into a world with fertile lands, weak inhabitants and endless possibilities, the Orcs saw their chance to find a better life. By the time the portal closed the entire tribe had relocated through the portal and made this new world their home.

   The portal to Dworgaron: The foothills of the central continent played host to this portal, when the Dwarves of Dworgaron stepped through they were met with the sight of 3 things: Mountains as far as the eye could see to the south, A village nestled between 2 streams to the east and another portal to the west where fire and scaled beast poured out. The Dwarves did what they do best, they dug, they mined and stubbornly refused to let the draconic races anywhere near their gold.

   The portal to the Czrodczik Empire: The portal to the home of the Dragon Shifters spewed with flames the moment it opened, from it strode out tall, winged and horned Dragon Shifters. Claiming to be born of the molten heart of their volcanic home word the Czrodczikian Dragon Shifters were the primary race of their world with Kobolds and the smooth skinned Wyrmfolk making up the lower ranks either as slaves or serfs. They too took to the mountains, drawn to the one at the very end of the mountain range that spewed smoke and bled lava, drawn to the area most like their home world.

   The years passed, populations grew and then world began to take shape with its new varying inhabitants. Historians would later come to refer to these 6 portals opening on this world as the great convergence. Portals have opened since, smaller portals to other worlds bringing more life with them into the world, these are known as lesser convergences. Cultures diverged, borders were drawn, wars were fought, languages changed and merged.

   Technology flourished under the joint efforts of the various races, the innate magic of the world was harnessed by the dwarves with the help of the Elves and the Dragon Shifters. In the last hundred years the world progressed from magic engines powering trains and cars into the information age, the internet, smart phones and computers are in the hands of everyone. Electricity is produced by a technology created by the Dragon Shifters which involves fire crystals that channel the world's magic and create movement for a system of Dynamos. the world has been in a tentative peace for decades now.
