Maps of Everlynn

The Floating Continents

Above the Surface of the planet Everlynn exists another Realm called the Sky Realm home to many floating Continents. Known to one of them is the Floating Continent known as Aviarius the Ruling Capitol continent of the many. This Continent is the only one of its kind to draw close enough to the ground for its Winged People the Avian and the Avian Elves to reach the surface of the world. The Continent resembles much like any other but its size has been known to block out the sun for some regions. This is because Aviarius is a moving Floating Continent that cannot be explained as to why but seems to circle the planet with in one year’s time.

This Continent floats among the sky in a set path that seems to avoid other floating islands and smaller continents. A force with in the continent seems to push other floating islands or rocks away from it as it moves but it is yet unexplained as in how it remains up. Many Mages and scholar state that the infamous lode stone must be concentrated in great amounts to keep the continent above the world. This resemblance also gave birth to the theory that the World of Everlynn circles around the Sun and not the Sun that circles the planet. Though many argue how the Sun or the planet rotates it is for certain that Aviarius circles around the planet once every year. Aviarius consist of people with bird like wings who can fly to each floating continent and island. Their diet consists of Fish and a Vegetarian diet. Since Fish is hard to come by except for breeding them in their own waters they must wait every once a year where Aviarius literally lands into the Great Ocean east of Morganna. This allows many of the Avians and Avian Elves to swoop down and fish for a great abundance. Though this also causes great Waves in the Ocean that disturb the Southern Islands and the Under Water region known as Atlantis there is now way for them to prevent this every once a year.

Crimson Isle and Grace Fields

Once long ago Crimson Isle and Hope Island were once together as one large continent but to the dismay it was split into two separate continents by a great quake. Some ancient texts and scrolls say that the land grew so angry over those who War over the sacred land that the Earth grew a mouth and swallow all those warring on it into the underworld. Others rumor that it was the work of the one banished to the Island who disobeyed and denied the Gods the information they desired. Some say it was a Blooded so Evil that once he was banish he made those warring on this continent be consumed by a demon of the earth. Though there is much information in legends of Crimson Isle it is known that nothing lives in this waste land except for monsters and undead that lived from the creation of the blood and bodies of the war. They even say in some places everything is red stained by the Blood of all those who died. It is also the breeding ground for most of the monsters and creatures of Everlynn. Hence very few travel to this continent unless search for records or species of monsters in this god forsaken place.  

West of Neo Ryuu just like Crimson Fields is Grace Fields the complete opposite of Crimson Fields. It is a Holy land that only the Gods, Blooded, Lunarians, Selenians, and Holy people may walk upon. In it is a large lake and a place called the Holy Sanctum where some one who had committed an Evil Deed is imprisoned. Instead of eternal punishment this person was to suffer a long sleep till all his family had come to awaken him. This land is a Holy place made to ensure that the prisoner cannot escape. The land contains creatures of righteous and lawful demeanors as well as peace loving humans. This land is so sacred that there is a Barrier on the island that harms any with any dark intention against this continent. The complete opposite of Crimson Fields this place is lush grassland with forests and hills with very few mountains. In it is a Holy Temple that only those of Good Alignment and Faith may enter. Here people can receive cleansing and be blessed as well as it is a grounds for all the righteous Clerics to practice and learn their faith. This Holy land is forbidden to anyone with the exception of these people those not of Holy prestige or are welcomed are normally ask to sail back.

Neo Ryuu

Off to the east of Noctura pass the Emerald Sea lies the Province of Neo Ryuu and beyond that Neo Ryuu itself with green lushes shores and sandy beaches. Neo Ryuu is an excellent agriculture country with perfect imports and exports of goods including a fabulous abundant fresh market for fish. Some of its prize goods is the stone called Jade that is precious among jewelers as well as their silk but none are so sought as the exotic weaponry of the Neo Ryuu the orient weapons. These weapons are specially made by different smiths and treated very different than most weapons found having multiple functions or qualities unlike any other weapon in the world.

Neo Ryuu is a continent of people who set customs, traditions, and faiths ahead of everything else having strong spiritual faiths as well as in their emperor. The emperor Ryu Wo the 21^st of his family’s long dynasty has had no children being unable to produce offspring. This is said due to a family curse that most of the males had suffered a spiritual injury from the Demon King Akuma who they fought and banished in the War of the Gods. To many lords and noblemen’s dislike his Sister Amano will be the first Empress of Neo Ryuu in over two thousand years. Many dislike the fact a woman shall be ruler but the people are not since it is the line of Ryu Wo that has made them prosperous for well over five hundred years.

Neo Ryuu also consists of very green grasslands and plains but is also quite mountainous containing deep jungles and forests from the plains to the mountains. They say that the clouds bless their land with rainfall as they encircle the green mountains and produce excellent waterfall and rivers for rice and fish the main diet of Neo Ryuu. Also Neo Ryuu is famed for its Red Panda Bear and mythical history and lore that seems to entrance foreigners to live or study in their continent. The continent is home of many professions such as the Kensei, Omitsu, Kyudo, Warsong, Martial Artists, and Tao Masters which are exquisite styles that most professions have trouble in competing in.

Noctura and the Great Forest

This Continent is one of the few largest in the world of Everlynn. Many call it the Dark Lands for its tragic history and once a nation that conquered many in its past. Noctura consists of Grasslands, Swamps, Deep Forest , and mountain ranges. Traversing through Noctura is difficult due to the continuous region changes from grassland to swamps. Being connected through series of rivers the quickest route to travel is by water and swamp. Though there are many dangers to Noctura since many of the undead such as Vampires live in the area. Aside are many swamp creatures as well as ill tempered demons so it is a saying in Noctura “Sleep during the day and travel by night. Stick to the main roads and crossings and never stray into woods, marshes, or at night alone. Children we are to the monsters that lay in hiding.”

 Noctura is also a producer of many technologies as well as one of few places devoted to the teachings of magic. They are also the leading producers of poison as well as anti-poisons. Though many fear the continent for its historical past to perform evil acts these modern times have changed to a continent like everyone else to their own and building their countries industries. Though the residents of Morganna have long had battles and dislike for Noctura the same is shared by Nocturans both having very little trust of one and another. 

Very little is known of the Great Forest but it is home to an Amazonian tribe that now lives in the Southern Islands . This Mecca for amazons is known as the Great Hunt in the Great Forests. Few tribes live or make it to this place but it is said that what is wild dwells in this place is untouched by the world. This is also considered Holy Ground to most Elves especially the Lios Elves seeing that this is where the old War of the Elves was At during the War of the Gods. Most dwell outside the Great Forest because of Ancient Respects and Religion. The continent known as the Great Forests consists of many unexplored areas and very unique monsters and creatures. The place is only shown on most maps to signify where it is and only the small part of it has been shown to show that is how much has been explored. Since no sign of intelligent life has been spotted it is probably the only True Natural continent untouched by any living being aside from the creatures and monsters that lurk in this natural wonder.

Noctura, Negocia, and the Southern Islands

Negocia a continent of rich grasslands and light patches of forest has one of the largest lakes recorded in the world of Everlynn. Her fertile lands and gracious waters offer and abundance of agriculture and rainfall. Her forests is the second supplier of silk aside from Neo Ryuu that contains the Negocian breed of silkworm. Aside from their production of silk and agriculture Negocia is also known for being the only ruled Female nation aside from Amazonian tribes. On this continent the Damier rule one half and the human woman rule the other. Damiers tend to not allow their males to rule due to a tragic past that Negocian women share with them. Negocian women rule and take the position of men to prevent the men of their country to cause it to fall to ruin as it did in the War of the Gods. Though men share equal rights as the women only women are permitted as rulers or heads of important national offices.

 Negocia is also known for its Capitol city consisting of all females and its Clerical temple consisting of a Clergy of all women known as Shrine Maidens. About the only men permitted in the City are the Swordsmen of the White Seal who are normally charged in protecting the Shrine Maiden. Even then each Swordsman of the White Seal is tattooed with a special crest if they have taken a Shrine Maiden as their charge. The Damier women of Negocia also have a Queen that rules over them all much like most Elvin societies. Queen Felecia one of the oldest rulers of the Damier world continues her reign since the war of the gods. Though known to be strict among her people she offers an alliance with Negocia and Noctura. Though Queen Sataria of the Negocian women has set her alliance with Morganna this division does not hurt their alliance to another nor does it break their bond as Sisters. It is rumored that the two Queens are either Half Sisters or Sisters by Damier rights Queen Sataria being accepted into the Damier Culture.

West of Noctura pass the Deep Blue Seas is a region consisting of many islands and circular islands known as the Southern Islands. This tropical paradise is home to many native and wild savages as well as the Monastery of the Daughters of Light who protect the White Seal. The Southern Islands is not only a great recreational region for those who wish to bask in the sun and have fun at the Jade Tavern but home to the Amazons, a type of Barbarian as well as the Wild Elves. Yet also in the waters lurk the cities of the Merfolk and many phenomena of the sea. The southern Islands consist of many islands surrounding a main island as if possibly a huge crater was once here but that is still unknown to Scholars as to why it resembles such.

 Off the cost from the blue waters are lush jungles and tropical forests that contain many unexplored areas and wild life. Aside from the dangers of the Sea and Ocean the Jungle has many predators as well as Rivers containing rare fish and monsters. The Southern isles are also the producers of many ships and boat craft since the only way to reach this region as well as its many islands are through the use of water craft. Among the many dangers and wonders of the Southern Islands none are as beautiful as the coral reefs that surround it and some of its bays. It makes it naturally difficult to enter or exit the Southern Islands with out a map or some form of detecting the Reefs. In the past this has cause continuous ship wrecks of the west coast of the Southern Island rumored to be haunted by ghost ships and created homes form many of the mythical beasts of the ocean floor.

Morganna

West from Noctura across the Great Ocean is Morganna a region containing many forests, hills, rivers, meadows, and mountains. Morganna is home to the Lios Elves considered the royalty of all Elvin kind. The humans share half the region of Morganna as per to an agreement among the Lios as close friends. Among the terrain Morganna is made up of half forest and half open plains. This is said due to the many humans that had once inhabited Morganna. Of the human ruling council is King Fauern who has ruled with justice and peace for several years with his close friend and ally Queen Anastasia von Hollen of the Lios Elvin Kingdom . Both work side by side hoping to attain from this alliance peace among Elves and Humans to hopefully once create the welcoming of the two that once flourish long before the War of the Gods.

Though Morganna is made up mostly of Forest these forests consists of difficult natural labyrinths made by forests and rivers. Though most stay from these labyrinths the best route to get across Morganna is river unless one has a guide to cross the mountains or forests of the continent. Another special feature are the two palaces of Morganna that are temples. The Goddess Unda has a temple where all waters of the world originate from where rivers enter and expel from the palace. And there is the Blooded temple owned and cared for by Carmella the last and only true remaining Blooded who passes on knowledge and has made her temple a library for scholars and bards desiring to know the old ways of the world of Everlynn.

Morganna and Hope Island

Rather large to be an Island this place is considered a land of neutral ground and many unexplored areas. It is to say it is another place of recreational paradise and adventuring for those Explorers and Adventurers. Hope Island got its name from the War of the Gods being the last and final stand for the War. It was the last hope of many to see the war end and peace restored. This country is of neutral laws and consideration allowing all and any to come to this place. This place is also the only country if not continent where one can seek Sanctuary from the outside world and seek peace. This offering of Sanctuary makes this neutral grounds so that any crime the person may have committed outside the Continent is nullified in this region. However Hope Island has strict rules of crimes and evil intent on the Island . Since this is a place of sanctuary and peace no nation may board its shores with armies or ill intent. Any crime of ill intent as killing, harming, robbery, and such is seen as treason and the person is immediately exported from the continent. Being that of Neutral ground all needn’t be courteous but show respect any form of attacks or harm is strictly forbidden if there are arguments it is settle with the council of the island. Hope Island is also home of the Ruler’s Council were Rulers can speak of International business, treaties, and affairs among nations at peace with no worries of threats or harm. However Nations who break this peaceful right are seen as enemies of the continent and are ask to leave or the Occupants and Watchers of Hope Island will have to resort to force.

The island is ruled by Lina and Bradford Barker who are both Half-Elves this nation was created for the equality and lives of Half-Breeds and all races to live under one nation and one flag. So far the peace and balance maintained in Hope Island has promoted much to many that together we can all stand firm and equal. The island is a representation of the unification after the war having much history and background as being the only region never really harmed by the War of the Gods. To many surprises this land consists of many terrains suitable for all races and explorations. It has a Tavern City called Hope Tavern and a Capitol City Baskur home to the Ruler’s council and the only major city in Hope Island leaving the rest to be natural. Most here are pacifists and tend to only fight when it is needed.

Midguard

Midguard consists of Highlands and low lands if not some forests and mountains. Home to the Runic Elves, Dwarves, and Humans of Midguard this continent’s people are known mainly as the Children of Odin. Once the pantheon of the Norse ruled the lands in peace with these people but many died during the war of the gods remaining undivided or challenged by the pantheon and its followers. Defending Midguard was Odin’s desire for his pantheon and people who now only consist of Loki, Seri, and Valkyrie. Though the other gods remain in a long slumber due to a curse of a foreign deity Odin and his people wait for the day of their return. Midguard is the leading manufacturer of Runes and products placed with runes.

Aside from their productive export and import of Runes and Rune forged items they are well known in producing most of the worlds jewels used in jewelry and relics. Also the terrain of Midguard consists not only of Grassy Highlands , Lowlands , and Moors but of mountains as well. Though some of the forests are deep and make it difficult to get to mountains the mountains of Midguard are the most challenging being steep and crag like they give any climber a difficult challenge. One of the most intriguing sights are the Yggdrassil forests in Midguard being its national tree as well as harvest once a year to create works from this ancient and rather magical wood.

Those of Midguard are normally clansmen of different territories or cities who raise their children not to be just farmers but warriors as well. Of all the Continents Midguard has produce the finest Warriors even before the days of the War of the Gods also establishing good Clerical Faith to the Pantheon of Odin who their clerics draw power and how to one day bring back the remaining sleeping gods from their slumber.

Midguard and Unexplored Regions

South of Midguard and in other places of the World are many uncharted or unexplored continents and islands. Nothing is truly known of these places and may consist of any type of people or monsters. Because most people at this time are funding in rebuilding their nations these unexplored areas are left uncharted or categorized. This makes excellent adventures for the Adventurer or Explorer type especially if being paid. Many have not taken the time or the patience to truly survey these lands or some of the floating continents. To some these places are myths but to others who have read old maps these were once places but their names or the origin of where they are no longer exists or can be remembered. For these uncharted places it may remain a mystery but there are still many wonders out there in Everlynn since after the War that has been forgotten. Who will explore it and who will be willing to return alive? None know but those charted are possible places that a continent or a region might be on the map.
