Age of Turmoil

"The prospect of war laid like a heavy fog over Druthenia, the only question occupying the minds of its people being: Who would strike first?"

In the late 19th century, the collapse of the largest and most powerful empire in history sends shock waves throughout the world.

Amidst economic crisis and political upheaval, nations on all continents struggle to keep the peace in an era of chaos - the Age of Turmoil.

"Africa"
This continent is located south of Magni.

"America"
This continent is located next to Magni, separated by a large ocean.

Magni
By far the largest continent, it contains some of the most important nations in the world, including the mighty Phoenix empire whose collapse brought the world to the brink of chaos.

The Voidlands
A mystery region of ocean, where many naval vessels have entered but almost none have come out of. It is assumed that the area is home to an isolationist nation (or nations) that do not wish to have outsiders interfere.

Magic
The entire world makes great use of mages - people born with the ability to tap into the realm known as the Arcane for power.

Materials
New and old materials alike, they all have their uses.

Religion
Here be gods.

Souls, Spirits, and Demons
Perhaps they are all the same thing...?

CSR
The Commonwealth of Socialist Republics is a large union of like-minded states that have but one goal - to liberate the workers of the world and create a socialist utopia.

Druthenia
A kingdom in the cold north of eastern Magni, and the main focus of the story.

Radovia
A massive empire that occupies most of the western subcontinent, the Radovians are fierce enemies of anything that is even remotely Socialist.

Astaria
The progenitor of many Eidoran states, ancient Astaria is considered one of the greatest empires in regional history, which co-existed with the Krichoian Empire and collapsed alongside it during the Great Collapse. Modern-day Astaria now makes up the core of the CSR.

Krichoia
The Krichoians are staunch people, having remained relatively unchanged since the collapse of their first empire around 1900 years ago.

Qartaba
Situated on the coast south of Eidora and across the mountains from the Great desert, Qartaba is the homeland of the Qartabans, and is an important area for trade coming in and out of Eidora. The largest and most prosperous city in the region, Minas Abyad, usually gathers people from all across the planet. However, with conflict and chaos reigning supreme outside of Qartaba, trade has twindled massively.

Jin He
The largest, most populous, and richest state in the world, the collapse of the "Golden river kingdom" would send shockwaves throughout the world, kickstarting the Age of Turmoil and all the chaos with it. At the start of the story, the Jin He is divided in civil war by warlords and entities claiming to be the "real" government.
