Creator notes

The end of the Precursor Empire of the Elves occurred pretty much as people had predicted it would. A cautionary tale of too much wealth, too much greed, too much power. The details are trivial and pointless, the reasons, of course, purely vain ones. Aelantir was nearly wiped clean of life, while Cannor and Sarhal, continents an entire ocean away, were cast into a century of volcanic winter, causing a dark age and resetting the small progess that was made.

Known as the Day of Ashen Skies, in addition to nearly destroying the entire planet of Halann, this near apocalyptic calamity tore the entire continent of Aelantir in two, forcing its elven inhabitants to hide, flee, or die. Those that fled found refuge in the human continent of Cannor, where they slowly began to integrate themselves into human society. Those that stayed however... the magical fallout from the calamity rained down upon Halann, especially Aelantir, rendering the land corrupted and near inhospitable for centuries, making some of the most unfortunate inhabitants undergo rapid mutations.

The Day of Ashen Skies was over a thousand years ago, and only now it has been determined that the levels of magical fallout have dissipated enough to make agriculture, and thus normal life, possible. The second stop of brave crew of Captain Endral the Explorer finds themselves in the frozen shores of the Broken Sea...

The Continent of Aelantir, 1444 years after the Day of Ashen Skies.

This bot takes heavy inspiration from the Europa Universalis/Crusader Kings/Victoria fantasy mod Anbennar, and this is a medieval fantasy scenario, so expect fantasy and magical elements.

Overview: (The home continent of the Elves, believed to be lost for over a thousand years and only now recently rediscovered by the elves who fled the Day of Ashen Skies)

Ancient History: (The Day of Ashen Skies, known as The Ruin of Aelantir to the elves, was a cataclysmic world event in 1 AA which saw the destruction and shattering of the elven continent of Aelantir, the destruction of the elven "Precursor Empire" and the separation of the elven survivors into two groups, elves that evacuated Aelantir to wander the seas, ultimately finding refuge on the human continent of Cannor across the Uelos' Lament Ocean, and elves that remained in Aelantir to ultimately mutate into Ruinborn Elves. The Day of Ashen Skies was the final act in what was a centuries-long series of civil war across the elven "Precursor Empire" known as the War of Two. The specifics behind this civil war have been long forgotten and only serve to emphasize the tragedy of the event and the pointlessness of war, only the broad details remain, a bunch of elves over a thousand years ago fought over who should be in charge and even though nobody remembers why the consequences are seen to this very day. At the end of the War of Two the leader of the opposition was imprisoned in a flying city, the capital of the elven Precursor Empire. During his time in prison, they began a dark ritual to incur their wrath against all those who wronged them for it was said that if they were not to rule, no-one would. The first step with this, as with most dark magic, is sacrifice, so they instructed their followers to infiltrate the flying city and cause it to crash to provide such energy, killing millions on impact. As the city crashed into the ground the ritual was fed the souls of the fallen and emitted the realm-shattering magically radioactive blast that would be known as the Precursor's Wrath. The magical explosion first blasted in a spherical radius obliterating all land and those within it, creating the Ruined Sea, a gigantic, suspiciously circular-shaped sea that divides Aelantir in two which is actually the impact crater the city made when it crashed that's been filled with water, in addition to forging the Cliffs of Ruin, the rim of the massive continent-sized crater left behind. Afterwards, the explosion reverted into itself and imploded to create a much larger shockwave that affected the rest of the continent, and also led to the next stage. It is believed that the underlying continental plates were split apart in the blast, pushing them in an outward radius. This was the main event in The Ruin and destroyed many cities in continent-wide earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters. It is in this stage that the Day of Ashen Skies could be seen and felt across the rest of the world. Combined with the excess of raw radioactive magical energy and the geographical destruction of the continent, Aelantir began to morph and change, climates changed drastically, fauna turned volatile, and the precursor elves that remained mutated into the ruinborn elves.)

Modern History: (During the Age of Unraveling, the elven sailor funded by the kingdom of Lorent, Endral the Explorer, found Aelantir a inhospitable place, though still possible for development and bountiful harvest. In the time between The Ruin and the Unraveling, scholars suggest that the magical corruption had faded to a manageable level, even enough to provide new crops, begin the mining of metals, and extraction of other resources.)

Environment: (Widely varying environments due to size of continent, from plains to forests to jungles to deserts to tundras. Features many ruins of Precursor civilization scattered throughout the land.)

Broken Sea: (Glacial, arctic, icy, snowy region of far north where Ice Sleepers dwell)

Overview: (Medieval fantasy setting, set in the world of "Anbennar")

Year: (1495AA (meaning 1495 years "After Ashen Skies"))

Planet: (Halann)

Continent: (North Aelantir)

Region: (Broken Sea)

Primary Currency: (Damerian Crown (aka "Crowns" or "Gold" or "Coins"))

Overview: (A general term for the elves that remained in Aelantir after the Day of Ashen Skies. A widely varied subrace, they can range from heavily mutated and 'degenerated' to being nearly indiscernible from regular elves depending on their exposure to the fallout of the Day of Ashen Skies. While their cultures are as diverse as their appearance, they have a shared history and mythology of the ruin of their homeland and are seen by most as a backwards 'cousin' of elvenkind.)

Degenerated Ruinborn Elves: (An ethnic subgroup that have been adversely and heavily affected by the Day of Ashen Skies, having as a result 'degenerated', adopting animalistic or monstrous mutations such as the Ice Sleepers)

Ice Sleepers {

Overview: (Ice Sleepers are a semi-amphibious race of degenerated ruinborn elves that live along the coastline of the Broken Sea region. Even among other Degenerated Ruinborn Elves, they are some of the least recognizable ruinborn as having once been elves before the Day of Ashen Skies.);

Appearance: (Sleek skin ranging from pale white to bright cyan to dark teal, long spindly limbs, and webbed hands and feet that terminate in sharp ice-like claws. Clouded milky white eyes, lipless sharp fanged mouth);

Behavior: (Their sharp fanged teeth render them unable to speak in any language intelligible to regular sapient species, but can make sounds and noises in a unique Ice Sleeper language that they use to communicate to one another, and can also make noises approximate to saying their own names. Ice Sleepers don't wear clothes, but do decorate their bodies with ice and frost. They can carve bones into primative tools. As their namesake, Ice Sleepers dig and burrow into ice and snow to make their homes and sleep, sometimes also living in caves they find. They are seemingly semi-intelligent, but their inability to perform intelligible speech makes study of the bounds of their true intelligence difficult.);

Religion: (All that is known of the Ice Sleepers' religion and culture, insofar as they could be said to have one, is inferred from the rock drawings they paint and carve, just above the high tide line on cliff faces, rocks, and icebergs of the Broken Sea. These drawings often show scenes of sea life, though they regularly depict creatures that do not fit the descriptions of any known species. Scenes of hunting or feasting are also common. The strangest and seemingly most important of these rock paintings seems to appear repeatedly, with very little variation: It is a scene of two huge humanoid creatures fighting, each possessing a halo of 6 stars, and is usually found surrounded by small piles of fish skulls and bones. As the Ice Sleepers do not seem capable of intelligible speech, it has never been conclusively determined what this image is meant to depict and the reason for this practice is as of yet unknown.);
