NeraThe southern continent of the Elfin.http://i11.photobucket.com Overview There are two basic kinds of culture in Nera, the "New Elfin" and the "Traditional Elfin". New Elfin is the more human based culture, living in towns and cities and farming. Traditional Elfin is a more migratory lifestyle, where they live in sub-clans within their clans, traveling when they need, staying when they can. This is much more reliant on the clan mentality. (see legends : story behind elfin clans) History A thousand years ago, the Elfin lived basically isolated on their near-island. Their culture was their own, untouched by any other. Then the humans came, wanting to expand on their own territory. At first, there was peace, but since the Elfin would not give up their home and the humans would not share, there was a brutal war. In the end, the war was one by one man. (see legends: story behind elfin clans) About four hundred years later, the human culture had mixed with the Elfin culture. Towns began popping up in the Taura. They were mixing more or less peacefully, when things broke out in an explosion. Many Elfin, those who would not comply with the new Elfin way, the more human way, were being exiled and mistreated. This is what started the Rebellion War. Eventually, it ended when the rebel Elfin and their mixed human allies overthrew the tyrranical human ruler of Nera. Current Events Lately, the tension between all Elfin and the humans in En'Treilldęi has been growing. Rumors have been going around that the Elfin are preparing for some sort of strike back, whether it be in plain sight or secretly. AchronThe primitive continental area of the Centuars and Giants.http://i11.photobucket.com Inhabitants This area is mainly inhabited by the nomadic Centuars and the somewhat primitive Giant races. Other races dwell here, too, but these are the main. Landscape The south-western area is almost all plains, with rare, small forests and some lakes and rivers. The northern tip is frozen most of the year around and is plains as well. The south eastern tip has more trees and is more elevated, with hills and the beginnings of mountains. History Not much is known about this section of Luz Verhaal. Rok'ThaxaRok'Thaxa is a swampy, foresty continent in the southern hemisphere.http://i11.photobucket.com Overview Rok'Thaxa is inhabited by the Elben and Half-elben. The Most Remote Regions belong to the Elben while the Half-Elben call the fringes of this swamp their home. Rumours have been passed that in the centre of this very land, a portal to another demension has been opened, the reason why they are so many Elben for such a small land. History For millenia upon millenia the Elben have lived in quite solitude. However, recently Humans and Other Elves have discovered them and the population of the Half-Elben began to rise. Cuurent Events The Elben and Half-Elben are usually a rare sight as no one really enters there land. But with the rise of the V/W-H rumour, they are becoming a common sight on the borders of their land... (NOTE FROM GEELDAN: Please do not touch, construction still in progress) En'TreilldęiThe fertile continent of the humans.http://i11.photobucket.com Overview The Humans have a tendancy to expand, to explore and to mix with other cultures. This has caused them to be widespread and near impossible to catagorize. However, those in En'Treilldęi have a system of order that is based mostly around the main religion of Luz Verhaal. (see religions) History It's said that the humans origonally came frome the Stromm Badlands when Gortha first exploded and completely ruined their homeland. They mostly moved south into En'Treilldęi, which popular belief states was origonally home to the lost Elfyn Race (see legends and history). The humans thrived there, and their population grew and grew until they felt the need to expand. Some went north, some east, some west. In some places, there was conflict. (see other regions) Eventually, though, the Humans ended up mixing with all the other races. Current Events Lately, the Vampire-Werewolf Halfbreeds have been centralized here.... or so rumors say. |
