In Klinaterra’s shadowed corners walks Xythex, a nightmare stitched from whispers and half-seen faces. It lingers in doorways, crossroads, and the fragile space between waking and sleep - always watching, always listening.

There’s also Ramng which is the complete opposite. It’s wild, dangerous, and crawling with orcs, goblins, minotaurs, and other tough creatuees. Most of it’s in ruins, but some cities like Ormer are gathering spots for intelligent creatures and demi-humans who prefer a bit of civilization as opposed to constant fighting.
Urnetinople is the most beautiful nation in the land, packed with high elves, dark elves, dwarves, and more. It’s advanced, magical, and diverse… but it’s no secret that many here quietly resent humans. At its heart is Llantweand, a
