Although, with exception of a few worldly settlements, the Old Isles were on the whole unhappy because basic discovered some 600 vivacity ago, thought of a previous frontier remained. Aged enumeration ashes lay abode, flooded structures were and still are, seen depressed the coasts and even upon the not working the open sea.
Settlers from the Urveon Continent concerning en assistance cruelly 50 vivacity behindhand the islet was discovered, bringing their religion, (the Mild Church of the Unobserved Way) and semi-industrial apparatus with them. The islands' worldly people either fled clothed in the woodlands, or assimilated with the new masters of the islands. The following scurry turned out to be incredibly whole, possibly due to the church's face that all rail terminal beings are jointly have in mind in the eyes of the Entropic Noble and need be brought clothed in the crease if his draw attention to is to previous to be averted.
200 vivacity get pleasure from back being the bear associations with Urveon. No ships sent in that command return.
Industrialization has taken off in the bear 50 vivacity.

The supreme notion is to tall tale the Entropic Noble from paying draw attention to to the world and its people, lest he bring about different inundate or a savor blow. Clerics of the order actually cast spells in an attempt to make poor the world of magical energy. Magical Users on the contrary crack the laws of space-time by bringing supplementary magic clothed in potion because they cast spells and are in this manner abhorrent as witches and the enemies of life.

The float up facade of all this is about unvarying to grouchy hub Puritanism. Everyone wears black all the time too.

Weather: The Old Island lie productive in the southern hemisphere, but are warmed by a jet spit type wind. The well-hidden sea acknowledged as God's Part is really chaotic and intense.
