Setting and History
The setting is a fantasy world set within the continent of Nevix, a continent roughly the size of real lifeAsia. The technology level is comparable to that of the mid to late 1800s. In this world humans live together with spiritual creatures known as Elementals, living breathing magical creatures created when a human reaches the age bracket of 5-7. During that age an Elemental became revealed to a child through dream and will be at the child's side when they wake.
The continent is in a state of recovery. Three centuries ago, there were five nations equal in power. For decades each nation mined and harvested from the lands for millennia, but eventually the continent ran out of land to give and the 5 nations’ borders stopped growing. As the nations grew, so did their need for valued resources and space for more towns to gather those resources. At first many trade deals were placed to keep the peace, but they can only last so long as corruption and growth made trade a poor source of income for the nations. With no new areas to expand their resource production, the 5 nations of Larcon, Pavlovo, Skodbord, Luccillos and Camberg finally sparked the flames of war. Each Nation fought to take the towns and cities which produced the valued food, and lumber needed to build and fuel their machines, build their cities and feed their people and at first it started off small, but the war eventually escalated and large battles with thousands of men using of gunpowder, cannons and Elementals to take towns and small patches of fertile land and forests only for the same areas to be retaken the next day. Long into the war, the nations were soon deciding that they couldn’t let the enemy take any more of their resources, so they saved whatever they could by draining the land of whatever it could provide. Entire forests were cut down in weeks for their lumber then the fertile land would be turned into farmland and tilled to the point where the land became infertile. What they harvested was then used to fuel each nation’s war effort.
A century into this devastating war and the nations had quickly discovered that by trying to conserve what they had and take what they wanted, they destroyed their home. A century of heavy industrialization turning Nevix into a sad arid wasteland and the nations had little to nothing left. The nations’ leaders took a step back and realized their mistake. They sought to amend their wrongs by coming together to form a grand unified confederacy known as the United Nations and pooled their resources to form a new nation in the center of Nevix, on one of the last few patches of living soil that existed. There they formed a grand city state known Unity, a growing city of 4.6 million individuals. Now the five nations have turned into one, and in Unity they waited and watch for the day that Nevix finally regrow back to its former glory.
