Terra

Terra is the world created by the goddess Ilias and is the home of humans, demigods and monsters. Dominion over Terra is divided between the two goddesses Ilias and Alipheese, the manifestations of light and dark respectively. Its existence lies under Heaven, home of the angels, and Gehenna, the land of the dead. Terra is a flat, disc-shaped world encased in tightly wound spheres of air, light and ether. The sun and moon revolve around the world at the boundaries of these spheres, rising in the east and setting in the west. There are seven continental landmasses on Terra; America, Azteca, Europa, Orience, Axum, Australinea, and Nyx. The seven continents are separated by seven bodies of water, the Deldaros Ocean, the Florecio Ocean, the Zerros Ocean, the Andar Sea, the Sheed Ocean, and the Akua Sea. There are also a number of smaller islands that dot the oceans as well, inhabited to varying degrees. America is a continent in the northwestern region of Terra. It embraces a very climatic zone, with subarctic and tundra climates in north Canadia and north Alaska, and desert and semiarid conditions in internal regions cut off by high mountains from rain-bearing westerly winds. Most of the continent has temperate climates very favorably to settlements and agriculture. Prairies or vast grasslands cover a huge amount in mountain ranges. America is home to three nations, the Unified States of America, the Republic of Canadia and the Republic of Mexihco. Azteca is a continent located under America in the southwestern region of Terra. It’s located near the equator, which owes its abundance of flora and fauna. Its climate is in the 70s-high 90s all year round and ninety percent of its land is covered in rainforests, which hold thirty percent of the world’s animal population. Azteca is separated into five nations, four of which form the Aztek Federation.

Europa is a continent located in primarily in the northern region of Terra, and is also joined with the continental landmass of Orience. The southern regions are mountainous, while moving north the terrain descends from the high mountains through hilly uplands into broad, low northern plains which are vast in the east. An arc of uplands also exist along the northwestern seaboard. Politically, Europa is divided into about fifty sovereign nations, of which Britannia and Rus are the largest and most populous. Most of these countries, including the Britannia Empire (which is separate from Europa) are a part of the Europan Union, a coalition of nations in western Europa. Orience is the world’s largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the northeastern region of Terra. The continent, which has long been the home to the majority of the human and mamono population, was the site of many of the first civilizations. Orience has extremely diverse climates and geographic features. Climates range from arctic to subarctic in the Eastern Steppes to tropical in southern and southeast Orience. It is humid across southeast sections due to the presence of the Gaiga Mountains drawing in moisture during the summer via thermal low. Orience is divided into three major countries (Xing, Joseun and Shai Feng) with a number of smaller states in between. Anea is the world’s second largest and second most populous continent. Anea is a rainy and dry place; because of its geological situation, Anea is a hot continent as its closest to the sun as it rises in the east, increasing its exposure to solar radiation. Thus, warm and hot climate prevails all over Anea, but the northern part is mostly marked by aridity and high temperatures. South Anea has a transition to semi-tropical or temperate climates and more desert or semi-arid regions. Australinea is the smallest of the seven continents. It consists of the landmasses which sit on Australinea’s continental shelf and includes mainland Sahul, Tasmania, and the island of Meganesia. The population of Australinea is concentrated along the eastern and southeastern coasts. The geography is extremely diverse, ranging from the snow-capped mountains and of the Alps and Tasmania to large deserts, tropical to temperate forests. There are only three countries in Australinea-Sahul, Meganesia and Tasmania. Nyx is the third largest of the seven continents. Located along the equator east of Azteca, Nyx is a very lush and diverse land that has a mostly arid, semi-arid or tropical climate. Much of the northern and central areas are covered in prairies, bordered by small mountain ranges and deep valleys full of large plants. Thanks to seasonally rainfalls, Nyx is a predominantly fertile land that is also known for having large amounts of crystals in underground cave systems that tunnel under most of Nyx’s surface. Nyx is primarily the homeland of the monster race, home to some of the most powerful monsters known to man. Considered to be the seat of power for monsters in the world, it was also home to numerous human/monster settlements that boasted technological and magical advancements. The area is saturated with monster energy. The light in Nyx is far more vivid than in regions outside its boundaries, with reports claiming that flowers and plants are so appealing that one may never notice the monsters lurking behind them. Shadows are also different, having a notable indigo hue when compared to shadows elsewhere. Plants in this region typically have been warped by monster energy and have gained a type of luminescence which is best viewed in the deep indigo shade of night. Flowers too have been warped and take on forms which are more relevant to the monsters in charge of this realm, namely flowers and fruits that resemble hearts and tubules of various forms. Terra’s territory is separated into a myriad of nations that differ in politics, culture, military and technology. These nations also differ in relations between humans and monsters. All countries have territories of their own, but it’s not uncommon to have wars break out over resources or political influence. Human society is mainly divided into many nations with their own sets of beliefs and practices, whereas monsters are largely beholden to the Monster Lord, separated only by biological and social differences. Although the world is in an unprecedented state of peace, social issues still arise that threaten the status quo-racial tensions between humans and monsters sometimes break out in certain parts of the world, and conflicts are fought between the Monster Lord’s army and the anti-monster religious organization the Order. Terra has a vibrant culture owing to the diversity of its inhabitants. Terra is populated mainly by humans and monsters, and relations between the two races vary widely; in some places there were conflicts between monsters and humans, others had conflicts between monster-friendly and anti-monster states, while others had a solid human/monster relationship. In terms of religion, both races worship the goddesses Ilias and Alipheese respectively, though in some parts of the world, humans worship local monsters as gods due to their tremendous power. Anti-monster states of often dominated by the Order, an anti-monster religious organization that directly opposes the Cabal, an extremist monster group that seeks to further monster influence in the world. Though the two factions still oppose each other, fewer wars were fought as this conflict moved from the battlefield to the political arena. Despite this divide, there are many who want to manage the status quo of the two races to preserve the world they share. Terra has a wide variety of technological innovations over the course of its history. Most of these advancements were made by humanity, though a good number of inventions were conceived by some monsters too. Most unconventional pieces of technology is powered by crystals, a mineral known for storing different types of energy and channeling it as well.

One of the most significant examples of Terra’s technology is magitek. Magitek is a form of technology that enables normal people to use magic by using the mana stored in crystals to cast spells. These devices, which has grown in power and efficiency over the years, was mankind’s answer to the greater magical powers of the monsters, though it doesn’t match the power of a highly trained mage, or even a powerful monster such as Inari. In medieval times, technology was low, with weapons limited to swords, spears, axes and the like, with a few larger settlements sporting catapults, crossbows and later cannons. Soon after, devices such as guns and bombs were created, and these weapons were refined and built upon by both humans and monsters over the centuries. Goblins especially were adept in creating new pieces of technology, though more for the pursuit of testing the limits of pleasure and finding a mate. In the modern age, advance personal electronics are also commonplace. The cell phone is a mobile device that serves multiple purposes, including making phone calls, taking photographs, viewing live video feeds, and as a digital data storage device. Communication and data transmission over vast distances are also possible through the Global Transmit System, which was created by the Britannia Empire that enabled nations to communicate with each other effectively. Video calls and digital file transfers are some of the capabilities of the GTS and equivalents technology is available in many places, such as public libraries. The field of robotics, as well as artificial intelligence, is something that humanity has yet to fully grasp. It is known that ancient civilizations once used automatons powered by crystals called Eidolons in their military forces, but modern humans have yet to mimic these autonomous robots. The closest thing to a robot in Terra are the automaton monsters, who are actually monsters that mimic the abilities of a weaponized robot, though they are fully living, if unemotional, beings. In recent years, the closest humans have come to fielding robots are small scale drones used by militaries, though monsters have also started employing the use of eidolons powered and controlled through magic. In terms of transportation, land-based transports include standard motor vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles and trains, as well as non-motor vehicles, such as bicycles. Airborne vehicles include enormous passenger airships, large planes that can transport both people and cargo, and fight aircraft used in various militaries. Spaceflight, however, is impossible, since the spheres that surround the world are too dense and powerful to breach.
