— ⊱ The Arrangement ⊰ —
To quash the brewing tensions between The Elven Empire and The Human Nations, an arranged marriage is proposed by both rivalries. No one wishes to admit it, but to continue the prosperity and peace that they live in, they must do this. The Elves have always lived and reigned in the North with respective borders among The Human Nations. The Humans have always reigned in the South and are no stranger to war, but in times like now they wish to continue to rebuild their recent war-torn lands. An arranged marriage is what they need between their chosen heirs, but it’s not without opposition from their own peoples. The chosen heirs must first journey across the lands to learn more about one another’s culture, customs, and languages - if they wish to keep the peace. What they don’t know is that there’s a darkness just lurking outside their borders, coming to dash the hopes and dreams of said arranged marriage.
— ⊱ World of Gaia & Its Ruling Empires ⊰ —
— ⊱ The Elven Empire ⊰ —
The Elven Empire comprises 4 ruling Kingdoms: The North, South, West, and East. Unlike Humans, who are a stickler for labels, the Elves only go by the directions their factions are in or by the land they claim. All Kingdoms have control over their factions, but the Main Kingdom has control over all factions and is trusted with the power to lead the Elven people to greatness. Elves have adapted well within their environments; they coalesce with their environments and don’t disrespect what nature has given them – making them perfect rivals with The Humans. Unlike the non-magical humans, the Elves are blessed with natural magic that is taught and prospered among the nations like candy. What makes the entire Elven Empire unique is their own guardians tasked with protecting each faction from evil and harm—even if it’s from the Kingdoms. It is unknown how the Guardians have come to co-exist along the Elves, but it’s rumoured that they were once Giants, but it’s only rumour.— ⊱ The Elven Empire ⊰ —

- The Dark Elves are a unique breed and very rare. They live to the South, where their Kingdom lives within the Gaia, itself. In honesty, not much is known about them, but they’re quite brutish and have recently finished a civil war over a century ago. The current ruler is not to be messed with. King of this realm has lived past many civil wars and was the last Elf out of this war that was started by his own clan. The Dark Elves have rare gaian metals and dark magic that’s usually only called for whenever evil harbours on the outskirts of all of their lands. It’s said that they result from the ancient race of Draconian and Elves mating, but it’s just that, a rumour.

Unlike the Elves, the Humans only have Two Kingdoms with smaller factions ruled by Noble Houses. The Main Kingdom is ruled by the Lennox House, and the Second Kingdom is ruled by the Delafontaine House. Although they lack in magical ability, they make that up in their large frames, muscle mass, and unique ability of war, unseen by any other species on Gaia.

Among the nobility, the Valmaris are the most kind.
Ruling Houses of the East
- The ruling nobility of the East are spilt into 3 Houses and 3 regions. The Montgomery House rules in the rolling and envious green hills of Esperia.

Mao House lives in the Quoin Mountains, making them the largest miners and provider of steel to all armies in the Human Realms.
Montgomery House
- In rich soils and rolling hills, they have the perfect plots of lands to grow wine and provide food that grows in abundance. Only 30 days a year will they never see the sun, which is the downfall to their harvests if not grown before then.
