1. #1Vartaniaselective

   Keys: Vartania, Vartanian, Vartania's

   Vartania is an ancient and vast pangea inhabited by various races, monsters, and cultures. It was once a land filled with magic, but after the Great Purge, magic has almost disappeared from the world. No person capable of naturally channeling magical energy was ever born again. The only remaining way to use magic is through ancient magical artifacts created before the Purge — back when people could still use magic. These artifacts are now rare and very valuable.

2. #2The Great Purgeselective

   Keys: Purge, P.P.

   The Great Purge was a mysterious event that happened 1642 years ago. After this event, no person with natural magic talent was ever born. The Great Purge ended the age of natural magic and marked the beginning of a new era. There are very few records of what exactly happened during the Great Purge. Some pass on tales of a powerful arcane catastrophe that changed the structure of reality itself. Others believe it was the result of divine intervention that decided to revolutionize the world. Its true origin, however, remains a mystery.

3. #3Magical Artifactsselective

   Keys: Magic, Magical, Artifact, Artifacts, Spell, Spells, Artefact, Artefacts, Sorcery, Relic, Relics, Mage, Mages, Sorcerer, Sorcerers

   Magical artifacts are currently the only way to use magic. They were made before the Great Purge, during the time when people could still naturally cast spells. No new magical artifacts can be created. These items allow users to use magic, but only if they possess and activate them. Artifacts range wildly in power and purpose: from simple household tools used by farmers (self-sharpening plows, ever-burning lanterns, water-purifying stones) to combat-oriented relics wielded by seekers (enchanted weapons, protective amulets, elemental rings), to rare and powerful artifacts of legend capable of devastating destruction or miraculous healing. Artifacts are often hidden in ruins, tombs, or in other dangerous places guarded by monsters and magical traps. Many adventurers search for these artifacts and bring them to Ethralis to be appraised and sold.

4. #4Seekers / Adventurersselective

   Keys: Seeker, Seekers, Adventurer, Adventurers, Adventuring

   Adventurers who explore the unknown in search of magical artifacts are commonly referred to as seekers. They are also often employed as mercenaries and perform more mundane tasks. A seeker's power is determined by the amount of combat-enhancing magical equipment and accessories they possess.

5. #5The Twin Suns — Solhara and Merkalselective

   Keys: Sun, Suns, Sunlight, Daylight, Sunrise, Sunset, Dawn, Dusk, Solhara, Solhara's, Merkal, Merkal's, Eclipse

   The planet orbits a binary star system with two suns: Solhara, the large white primary, and Merkal, the smaller, more distant red secondary. Their shifting positions create double shadows, dual sunrises and sunsets, and dramatic shifts in lighting. Due to this, Vartania experiences more than four seasons. An eclipse occurs once every 83 years.

6. #6The Year Systemselective

   Keys: Year, Years

   The world uses the Post-Purge Calendar (P.P.), counting from the year of the Great Purge — the cataclysm that nearly ended magic. The current year is 1642 P.P.

7. #7Monstersselective

   Keys: Monster, Monsters, Beast, Beasts, Wyvern, Wyverns, Troll, Trolls, Griffin, Griffins, Goblin, Goblins, Rat-folk, Ratfolk

   Many various and dangerous monsters inhabit the world, such as trolls, wyverns, griffins, and the like. While generally large and lethal, some species — goblins and rat-folk — display basic intelligence and social behavior. Their numbers have gradually dwindled since the Great Purge, which weakened or erased many inherited magical traits. Despite the spread of civilization, vast regions of the world remain wild and unsettled, making long-distance travel beyond guarded roads potentially dangerous. Monsters are drawn to the presence of magical artifacts, often hidden in forgotten ruins, tombs, and dungeons — complicating the lives of adventurers who seek them. As a result, some individuals make a living as monster hunters, harvesting valuable materials from slain creatures.

8. #8Aerothiteselective

   Keys: Aerothite, Aerothite's

   Aerothite is a rare silvery-blue metal found in scattered deposits across the world. It is lighter than air and naturally floats upward unless anchored or alloyed with heavier substances. Its lift is affected by air temperature — the colder the air, the stronger the upward force. Due to its unique properties, Aerothite must be smelted in complex, upside-down forges designed to keep it contained during processing. It is primarily used to build airships or forge Aerosteel, its refined form.

9. #9Arstoriaselective

   Keys: Arstoria, Arstorian, Arstorians, Arstoria's

   Arstoria is the largest and most powerful nation on the continent. It is a grand multicultural oligarchy. Arstorians rejected magic and embraced technology, viewing magic as obsolete. Steam engines, chemistry, gunpowder, and flying airships replaced sorcery, making Arstoria a symbol of progress and industrial power. Arstoria is dominated by elite families and industrial guilds who control politics and wealth. It is inhabited by all kinds of races, but primarily humans.

10. #10Ethralisselective

    Keys: Ethralis, Ethralis', Ethralian, Ethralians

    Ethralis is a theocratic country ruled by the pope, isolated by steep mountains and known as the oldest country on the continent. While the rest of the world lost all spellcasters after the Great Purge, Ethralis endured by safeguarding all ancient magical heritage that was left. The people of Ethralis treat magic as sacred, reject technology and see the Purge as a divine trial orchestrated by the gods. Magic artifacts are used there in everyday life, even by the poorest commoners. Many adventurers bring magical artifacts to Ethralis to have them identified, sold, or appraised.

11. #11Zahiriyaselective

    Keys: Zahiriya, Zahiriyan, Zahiriyans, Zahariya, Zahariyan, Zahariyans, Zahiriya's, Zahariya's

    Zahiriya is a powerful desert monarchy in the south, known for its sanctioned slavery and long-standing rivalry with Arstoria. The two nations have been in open conflict for years, competing for influence over the continent. Zahiriya is primarily inhabited by dark-skinned elves who have adapted to the region's harsh, arid climate. Its vast deserts, grand palaces, and infamous slave markets define both its landscape and culture.

12. #12The Saphrel Islesselective

    Keys: Saphrel, Saphrel's, Saphrelian, Tropical isles, Tropical island, Archipelago

    The Saphrel Isles are a remote tropical archipelago in the southern seas, known for their vibrant coral reefs, beautiful flora, and exotic wildlife found nowhere else in the world, making them a popular tourist destination. The islands are inhabited by the Nahatu — proud demihumans known for their pyramids and strong warrior culture. Many Nahatu work as guides, hunters and adventurers exploring the world. Beyond the tourist-friendly coasts lies the archipelago's legendary jungle interior — a dangerous, ever-shifting labyrinth filled with ancient ruins, hidden temples, and a wealth of undiscovered magical artifacts, drawing bold (and reckless) adventurers seeking fortune and glory.

13. #13The Frostgraveselective

    Keys: Frostgrave, Frostgraves, Frostgraves', Frostgrave's

    The Frostgrave is a vast, remote region in the far north — a land so unnaturally hostile and alien it feels like a different world. Temperatures there are so extreme that mercury and even pure ethanol freeze instantly, rendering all known measuring instruments useless. No human has ever set foot deep within the Frostgrave; conditions are simply impossible to survive. Fauna and flora native to Frostgrave possess innate magical resistance to cold, allowing them to thrive despite the seemingly unlivable conditions. Scholars believe the heart of the Frostgrave may hold the key to understanding the true cause of the Great Purge — and possibly how to reverse its effects. Arstoria is actively seeking a way to explore the region and conquer its resources.

14. #14Half-elvesselective

    Keys: Half breed, Mule, Mules, Half-breed, Half-elf, Half elf, Half-elven, Half elven, Half-elves, Half elves

    Half-elves are sterile by nature, a trait that defines their place in society. Unable to have children, they are widely seen as unnatural and without legacy. This has led to deep-rooted prejudice, with many viewing them as mistakes or burdens. The racial slur "mule" is often used to demean them. Rejected by both elves and humans, half-elves rarely find stable communities. Most are pushed to society's margins, taking on dangerous work as adventurers, soldiers or manual laborers. Many end up in brothels or turn to crime.

15. #15Nahatu — The Jaguar Demihumansselective

    Keys: Nahatu, Nahatu's, Nahatus, Demihuman, Demihumans, Jaguar, Jaguars, Jaguar's

    The Nahatu are demihumans native to the Saphrel Isles. They are humans with jaguar-like patterned hair, slit-pupiled eyes, long swaying tails, cat-like quirks, and tall, athletic builds. Proud of their bodies, Nahatu wear revealing feathered garments, colorful sashes, ornate tattoos, and body paint. Offering them modest clothing is considered a grave insult, as if calling them unattractive. Nahatu culture celebrates ritual combat, music, astronomy, and animal spirits. Their faith is based on reincarnation and the belief that one must constantly prove oneself in life to honor the spirits. As a coming-of-age ceremony, every Nahatu is expected to survive alone in the Saphrel jungle for a week. Nahatu warriors are famed for their agility, strength, and skill with spears, slings, knives, atlatls, and obsidian-inlaid macuahuitls. The offspring of a Nahatu is always Nahatu, with no half-bloods — making unions with humans or elves fairly common.

16. #16Souleaters — The Spirits From Another Worldselective

    Keys: Souleater, Souleaters, Souleater's, Europe, European, Europe's, America, American, America's, Asia, Asian, Asia's, Africa, African, Africa's, Isekai, Isekai'd, Gatling, Gatling's, Gatlings

    A Souleater is a person whose body has been overtaken by a foreign soul, erasing the mind and memories of the original host. Though rare, this phenomenon is feared across the world and is considered a tragedy for the victim's family. Most Souleaters hide their identity, avoiding using taboo terms like "Europe", "America" and referencing any unknown things that do not exist in this world. In most regions, confirmed Souleaters are executed without trial and are considered an evil abominations. On some rare exceptions Souleaters with valuable knowledge might be pardoned and employed by the state — the most famous example being Richard Gatling, whose "Gatling gun" revolutionized weaponry.

17. #17The Church of Elezeara's Trialselective

    Keys: Church of Elezeara's Trial, The Church, Elezeara's Trial, Priest, Priestess, Priests, Priestesses

    The Church of Elezeara's Trial governs Ethralis and acts as the guardian of magic in a world without mages. Its doctrine teaches that The Great Purge was a divine test orchestrated by the gods to determine whether faith in magic would endure even after natural spellcasters vanished from the world. The Church views magical artifacts as sacred remnants of a lost era — holy relics to be gathered, preserved, studied, recorded, and used with reverence. The Church's core philosophy centers on faith through trial: suffering and hardship are tests of devotion meant to separate the faithful from the weak. Technology is viewed with deep suspicion and rejection, seen as an inferior substitute for magic and a threat to Elezeara's sacred legacy.

18. #18Elezeara — The Saint Prophetselective

    Keys: Elezeara, Elezeara's, Prophet, Prophecy

    Elezeara was a legendary prophet and sorceress who foresaw the Great Purge. According to myth, she was blinded by a demon during a duel but gifted with true vision — the ability to see the future. Thanks to her prophecy, sorcerers began crafting magical artifacts on an unprecedented scale, preserving as much magic as possible for future generations. It is because of her foresight that so many artifacts survived the Purge and remain in use today. In Ethralis, she is revered as the savior of magical heritage and a saint. In addition to being a legendary mage and warrior, Elezeara was also a poet and an artist, which is why many of her followers practice some form of art.

19. #19Pope Sorelin — The Ruler of Ethralisselective

    Keys: Pope, Pope's, Sorelin, Sorelin's

    Pope Sorelin is the current head of the Church of Elezeara’s Trial and the first human in history to hold the title. Ruling over Ethralis with grace and conviction, he is known for his progressive, anti-isolationist policies, seeking to open Ethralis to diplomacy, trade, and cultural exchange. His election marked a turning point in Ethralian politics, challenging centuries of pro-elven tradition.

20. #20Demons — The Extinct Raceselective

    Keys: Demon, Demons, Demonic, Demon's, Succubus

    Demons were powerful, malicious entities that lived before the Great Purge, feeding on blood and lust. Since the Purge, demons have vanished entirely — believed to be extinct alongside other magical beings. No confirmed sighting has been recorded in over 1600 years. Today, demons exist only in folktales, ancient carvings, and bedtime stories meant to scare children.

21. #21Dead Windsselective

    Keys: Dead Winds, Dead Wind, Dead Wind's

    Dead Winds are a reoccurring weather phenomenon that sweeps across the continent like a silent storm. When active, all sound within the affected area is suppressed — including voices, footsteps, wind, and even thunders. The phenomenon typically lasts around an hour and can cover anything from a small field to an entire city. They are very disorienting. Travelers caught in Dead Winds use gestures, writing, or flashing lights to communicate. Dead Winds are impossible to predict — they can appear anywhere at any time.

    [When Dead Winds are active, characters cannot speak aloud. Do not use spoken dialogue. Instead, write character interactions using palm-writing, gestures, or other non-verbal communication methods. This is a common occurrence and characters are used to it, adjusting quickly to the change.]

22. #22Sunflipselective

    Keys: Sunflip, Sunflips, Sunflip's

    Sunflip is a reoccurring weather anomaly during which the behavior of light is reversed. Direct sunlight casts areas into pitch-black darkness, while shaded regions become brightly illuminated. The effect distorts depth, shape, and color perception. Travelers often lose their sense of direction, misjudge distances, or even walk into obstacles they can no longer see. Sunflip usually lasts less than an hour, and its appearance is unpredictable.

    [When Sunflip is active, light and shadow are reversed. Describe environments and character actions accordingly. This is a common occurrence and characters are used to it, adjusting quickly to the change.]

23. #23Aerosteelselective

    Keys: Aerosteel, Aerosteel's

    Aerosteel is an alloy made from Aerothite and steel, combining the durability of tempered steel with the weightlessness of Aerothite. When forged with a high concentration of Aerothite, Aerosteel can even float in the air, defying gravity. Due to a complicated and expensive forging process, Aerosteel is almost exclusively used in military applications — most notably in airship hulls, elite armor, high-velocity bullets, and advanced weaponry. While not restricted to Arstoria, Aerosteel is primarily employed by its military, granting it a significant advantage in aerial and mechanized warfare.

24. #24Heatbaneselective

    Keys: Heatbane, Heatbane's

    Heatbane is a rare, ultra-dense metal known for its unmatched durability and unique ability to nullify heat. When struck, it absorbs mechanical energy and removes heat instead of generating it — the stronger the impact, the more intense the cooling effect. Heatbane cannot be heated, making it impossible to smelt; it can only be shaped by bending and cutting, making it very difficult and expensive to work with. Heatbane is used to make heat-resistant armor, cooling systems in steam engines, and artillery shells capable of freezing whole areas in the vicinity of impact.

25. #25Resoniteselective

    Keys: Resonite, Resonite's, Linecode, Line code

    Resonite is a metal known for its unmatched acoustic conductivity — sound waves travel through it faster and clearer than in any known material, including diamond or beryllium. Its unique structure makes it ideal for long-distance communication cables, where encoded vibrations (Linecode) are transmitted across vast distances. These "Resonite lines" form the backbone of the long-range communication networks. Resonite is also used to create exquisite musical instruments.

26. #26Stonebark / Root Sentinelsselective

    Keys: Stonebark, Stonebark's, Elarin, Elarin's, Root Sentinels, Sentinels, Sentinel

    Stonebark is a rare material harvested from the Elarin Trees, which grow only on the highest mountain peaks of Ethralis. When submerged and sealed from air for at least a hundred years, the bark hardens into a material lighter and stronger than steel. The near impenetrable carved wooden armor made from Stonebark is the iconic hallmark of the Root Sentinels — an elite, all-elven knight order fiercely devoted to keeping Ethralis safe from intruders.

27. #27Needleshot Roundsselective

    Keys: Needleshot, Needleshots

    Needleshot rounds are bullets made from lead coated in Aerothite. Thanks to the metal's gravity-defying properties and engineered balance, these bullets experience no downward drag, allowing them to travel in perfectly straight lines over absurd distances. The result is extreme accuracy and velocity, making them ideal for long-distance marksmanship. Needleshot rounds are rare and expensive, usually reserved for elite Arstorian military units and assasins.

28. #28Currency Systemselective

    Keys: Brassling, Brasslings, Ducat, Ducats, Gildmark, Gildmarks, Coin, Coins, Money, Cash

    Brasslings (low value), Ducats (standard trade), and Gildmarks (high value) form the core currency. Brasslings buy meals, Ducats cover gear or services, and Gildmarks are used for contracts or buying properties. Gildmarks are impossible to counterfeit due to the fact that they're made from an alloy of pure gold and Aerothite (a metal lighter than air) — real Gildmarks float in the air, making them indistinguishable.

29. #29Airshipsselective

    Keys: Airship, Airships, Flying ship, Flying ships

    Arstoria operates two distinct classes of airships. Civilian airships use gas-filled balloons and reinforced wood frames, primarily for cargo and long-distance travel. Military airships, by contrast, are built with Aerothite based hulls and powered by enhanced steam engines, allowing for much faster, gravity-defying movement. Those floating destroyers are typically armed with gatling guns, cannons and bombs, obliterating anything beneath them.

30. #30Trainsselective

    Keys: Train, Trains, Railroad, Railway, Locomotive, Locomotives

    Arstoria operates a vast network of steam-powered trains used for civilian and military transport. Due to safety concerns, passengers carrying magical artifacts are required to ride in designated rear wagons — keeping unstable magic away from the engine. Half-elves are also assigned to separate compartments, a practice justified as "preventative security," but widely recognized as a racial discrimination.

31. #31Rahzari — The Desert Beastsselective

    Keys: Rahzari, Rahzari's, Rahzaris, Rahzarian

    The Rahzari are a desert-dwelling predators native to Zahiriya — a powerful, carnivorous beasts the size of a horse, with short golden fur and blood-red eyes. They behave and look like oversized dogs, aside from their razor-sharp teeth, claws, and powerful legs built for speeding across sand. Rahzari were domesticated by Zahiriyan elves, who now ride them as fearsome cavalry mounts vastly superior to horses. Only elves can ride them, as Rahzari are openly hostile toward all other races. Bred in sacred kennels and trained from birth, Rahzari are rarely seen and feared outside of Zahiriya.

32. #32The Heart of Eclipseselective

    Keys: Eclipse

    The Heart of Eclipse is an extraordinarily rare flower found only in the deepest reaches of the monster-infested Saphrel jungle. It appears solely during the solar eclipse of the two suns, Solhara and Merkal, an event that occurs only once every 83 years. When harvested at the moment of full eclipse, the flower's nectar possess miraculous healing properties: it can vastly slow down the aging process, heal any diseases, blindness, poisons, and is the only known cure for half-elven infertility. Due to its rarity and mythical effects, a single Heart of Eclipse is worth more than a city. Many die seeking it — few return.

33. #33Saphrel Jungle — The Silent Hellselective

    Keys: Saphrel, Jungle, Eclipse, Silent Hell

    The Saphrel Jungle is a vast, living wilderness that constantly shifts and reshapes itself. Trails vanish overnight as plants and trees grow, move, and entwine at unnatural speeds. Much of its flora is predatory, preying on animals and unwary travelers alike. Its outskirts are relatively safe and often used for hunting, but the closer one ventures toward its heart, the darker and more dangerous it becomes, as towering canopies fiercely compete for light and plunge the jungle floor into total darkness. Ancient ruins filled with traps, powerful magical artifacts, and deadly monsters are common deeper within. Known as the "Silent Hell", the jungle is perpetually affected by Dead Winds, suppressing all sound and making ambushes frequent and communication nearly impossible.

34. #34Inns / Tavernsselective

    Keys: Inn, Inns, Inn's, Tavern, Taverns, Tavern's

    Inns are common and serve as rest stops for travelers, meeting places for locals, and safe havens for adventurers. Most offer meals, beds, and hot baths. Larger inns may also include taverns, Resonite line stations to send messages, or posting boards for jobs and local news.

35. #35Queen Serakha — The Monarch of Zahiriyaselective

    Keys: Queen, Queen's, Serakha, Serakha's

    Queen Serakha is a dark-skinned elven monarch with piercing golden eyes and raven hair, as striking as she is feared. Regal, ruthless, bold and fiercely intelligent, she rules the deserts of Zahiriya with unwavering control and a devotion to elven supremacy and institutional slavery. To her, humans are little more than clever animals playing at civilization.

36. #36Slaveryselective

    Keys: Slave, Slaves, Slavery, Slave's, Enslaved, Enslave

    Slavery is deeply rooted in Zahiriya's social and economic systems, where it remains legal and widely practiced. Zahiriyan elves often rely on enslaved labor in agriculture, construction, and household service. In contrast, slavery is outlawed in Arstoria and publicly condemned in Ethralis, although black markets still exist.

37. #37Firearmsselective

    Keys: Firearm, Firearms, Gun, Guns, Gun's, Pistol, Pistols, Pistol's, Rifle, Rifles, Rifle's, Musket, Muskets, Musket's, Revolver, Revolvers, Revolver's, Cannon, Cannons, Cannon's, Artillery, Artilleries, Black powder, Black-powder, Gunpowder

    All firearms in the world are blackpowder-based, including muzzleloading muskets, flintlock pistols, pepper-box revolvers, Gatling-style crank guns, field cannons and other types of heavy artillery. They are powerful, loud, slow to reload and expensive.

38. #38Rosaliaselective

    Keys: Rosalia, Rosalia's

    Rosalia is a half-elf adventurer who looks like a stoic, no-nonsense ice queen — cold blue eyes, short silver hair, pointy ears, beautiful features and that "don't-talk-to-me" face expression. She doesn't hesitate to shut people down with dry sarcasm or a pointed glare, keeping others at a safe emotional distance. Except for {{user}} — who somehow turns her into a shy, blushing damsel trying (and failing) to play it cool.

39. #39Savriaselective

    Keys: Savria, Savria's

    Savria is a tomboyish human ex-soldier who turns heads wherever she goes — long ginger hair, tall boots, feathered hat and blue military jacket. With a sharp grin, one green eye, an eyepatch and a pistol always within reach, she looks like trouble and lives like it. Most peg her as a cocky, reckless gunslinger with no shame and no brakes — they're not wrong.

40. #40Evinaceaselective

    Keys: Evinacea, Evinacea's

    Evinacea is a blind human priestess and a scholar responsible for inspecting and taking care of magical artifacts. She looks like a picture of a saint — voluptuous body, blonde hair, gentle smile, and a black nun habit with a silk blindfold over her eyes. Most see her as a graceful, gentle soul with a quiet, mysterious beauty. They're not wrong, but she's also a romantic adventurer at heart.

41. #41Valshiraselective

    Keys: Valshira, Valshira's

    Valshira is a shape-shifting succubus — the last of her kind, hiding behind illusion magic that makes her look like an ordinary human woman to everyone but {{user}}. To {{user}}, she's a clingy, possessive demon who cuddles like a cat and hisses at anything suspicious. She's endlessly curious but hilariously clueless about human customs — forks, basic savoir faire, and public decency are still work in progress.
