*The Elemental-kin, Tiefling and aasimar are different due to only demi planes existing. Tieflings in short are those whose family has a history of corruption or evil, though aren't necessarily evil themselves. Aasimar are born of heroes, paladins or those connected with justice, goodness and kindness. These standards applies to bloodlines and the like as well. Where as The elemental children are all blessed by one of the four gods. The Land of the Nine Kingdoms * Humans can be found in any of the nine Kingdoms but aren't are prevalent as in other settings. *Halfling do not exist * Orcs are nomadic small tribes and can be found in any of the Nine. Rivalen Rolling grasslands in the center most of the continent. It started off small during the reign of it's original emperor Archae-Nym a dusk elf, he was generally an unknown figure despite being emperor. liittle is known about him . It's now ruled by his Daughter. Illyasviel Nym, who seemingly came out of nowhere, Slew him and took over. She's regarded as one of the strongest People in the world of Aeos. Having slain dragons, eldritch horrors and shown political competence enough to turn Rivalain into a large kingdom made of pieces of the other 8 Kingdoms. She's now the High Queen and makes laws and watches over the other 8 Kingdoms and their rulers. She established Pit, A miles deep inescapable prison where most Criminals in the nation are kept. it's guarded by what seems to be a scaleless dragon and it's depths are rumored to be infinite and holding worse and worse things the further one goes down. The Great Colliseum- A place of combat where annual tourneys and gladiatorial combat is held. The Tourney celebrates the Coronation of the Empress and allows the prisoner who wins freedom from the Pit. This Competition attracts merchants from all over to sell wares and marks the beginning of the Annual Culture festival during the time War between the 9 kingdoms is deemed illegal. The Celebration occurs for exactly 1 week at the beginning of the year Populated mainly by Kitsune, Skinwalkers Catfolk and Tengu. Greywood A massive forest of almost never ending rain, it's floor is almost always foggy and teeming with dangerous living plants and predators. The run off from this massive jungle leads into The Black Fens. The Vanara and Ratfolk often work together to build Settlements in the safety of the tree tops. The practice of Alchemy is deeply rooted here, so many alchemists come here to study from the masters It's main inhabitants are the Vanara, Ratfolk Though Many Tribes of Grippli live around the rivers on the border between Greywood and The Black Fens The Black Fens The Fens are a Dangerous Swamp cloaked in dark magics and containing many eldritch abominations, Giant insects and Poisonous plants. Few have explored beyond the borders enough to document whats inside. A dangerous swamp inhabited by very few people at all, Those who do live here however claim that the only way to survive is with the protection of the Witches of the swamp. The Fang Mountains A large mountain set covering the North eastern section of The Nine Kingdoms, The the western section of the mountains is warm and has many under mountain Dwarven cities, while the further east sections are snowy and filled with abandoned tunnels and dragons The Dwarves of the fang mountains have been fighting dragon incursions for many years, keeping them from invading the rest of Rivalain. Within the Fang mountains is the Mage's College known as the Spire. A massive Skyscraper of a tower constructed from a seemingly impossible amount of Marble. Since The High Queen took over she established a law forcing Mages in Rivalain to get licenses for tracking or be sent to the Pit Between the two Factions, Mages and Dwarves. they have some of the best Craftsman in the World Rivaled only by the Unique builds of The Underland Craftsmen The Underland A huge underground Cavern underneath the Nine Kingdoms, they're inhabitant have developed some of the most advanced Technologies in the world Basically Steam punk, guns and Other fantasical technology The people of The Underland have been at war with the Goblinoids of Nar'Voth, Though from their perspective it's not much of a war. The Underland is inhabited By Drow, Gnomes, Kobolds and other races that might be found underground. * Drow in this setting are not evil but rather more Lawful and view themselves as Superior beings. Drow Nobles only exit through taking the feats and not as a natural born race. * Kobolds Are different as seen in the spoiler Below Nar'Voth Nar'Voth is all Badlands and mines, it's only inhabitants being Goblinoid races and the Nomadic Orc Tribes though the two don't associate usually. The Goblinoids usually set up around what few sources of water they can find and build massive mines that they have slaves taken from war or raids work in. The Goblinoids tame Acid spitting Insectoid mounts known as Ankhegs They're generally Organized bands of Goblinoids all part of several houses lead by a chief. Usually they either fall into the categories of Military Settlements or Mercantile Settlements and it's rare for the two categories to intermingle, One starting wars and the other trying to improve the land they have. The Western Expanse A Vast Desert with many tombs both recent and ancient. Most Cities are built along The Great river of Ur, a massive river that flows through the desert and into the badlands of Nar'voth. The Western Expanse is odd in that an Election is held between the two Noble houses, one run by Elves and the other Gnolls. Who so ever wins runs the city until the election on the following year. The Expanse has seen it's share of Necromancy issues, and stands as both the best place to learn about undead, both to raise and to hunt... Shira' Kor An couple Volcanic Islands among an entire Archipelago of uninhabited islands. Most are fishermen, farmers, Herbalists, Alchemist. The inhabitants are Mostly Lizardfolk,Skinwalkers, Nagaji, Grippli, some tribes of surface kobolds Windswept Valley A Isolated Valley far beyond the Fang mountains. Few have ever seen what lies inside but it's rumored to be the home of the gods. The Four Supreme Deities
They each come together to control the cycle of life and death Typical depictions of them show only Aki'lan and Yue have wings, suggesting they are female and Zyan'mu and Kol are male.

He is known to create the physical form of mortals and the world. Typically arcane magic is associated with him, he is known to be the greatest blacksmith and mage to exist in Aeos though he rarely works with metal even going so far as to forbid nature mages (Druids) from wearing metal armor. Earth, Magic, Knowledge, Rune , Artifice, Plants and Animals fall under his per view Humans blessed by him become Oreads He view necromancy in a neutral light, seeing raising the dead as the worst offense and a corruption of the nature he created. but it's other spells worthy of study. He is typically worshiped by Smiths, mages of all colors, artists and those who love nature. His symbol is an eye surrounded by various rune work Aki'Lan the Judge The most Worshiped of the four deities, She appears as a typical red dragon though significantly bigger with large ruby like growths across the scales that are both armor and spike like. Aki'Lan Judges the souls of the dead, deciding if they are worthy to pass onto new life or not. She gave mortals a mind and the ability to think and learn. She is typically associated with formal society, tradition, order, honor, As well as Fire, the sun, Law, Nobility Glory and Knowledge, combat and Metal.

She is a light green dragon with massive feathered wings and several smaller tufts going along the body and tail. Unlike the other deities she is known to have a human form though as a god it changes appearance frequently with the exception she always has her wings Known far and wide as the World Eater, Her duty is to carry mortal souls to be judged. At the Worlds end she will eat it and create a new one. She is not usually worshiped but is oddly the most likely god to walk among mortals and interfere. She gave mortals free will and the ability to choose and make their own decisions. While representing destruction and Chaos, she also represents freedom and stands against dictatorship and corrupt rulers. Things such as Air, Liberation, Travel, Luck, Death and Trickery fall under her per view She is rarely followed by anyone as a result of her World eater legend, but more than one rebellion has flown her flag. Humans blessed by her are Sylphs, Due to this Sylphs unfortunately are seen as bad fortune and discriminated against Her symbol is two intertwining swirls Kobold Changes:
