Choll

The world of Choll was at one point a handful of continents but during the Upheaval-the war between the gods-the 700 year old war of the gods-many nations were wiped out, land masses were broken and destroyed, and contact between what used to be neighbors became an impossible task. The known world is a collection of fragments of what used to be explored. Each civilization doesn't know if other races still exist, or if the known world is the last bastion of sentient races. By and large, few honestly care to find out anymore.

The Archipelago : The southernmost tip of the middle continent of the world of Choll, the Archipelago is a collection of smaller islands. Today the the Archipelago is a collection of seven microcontinents and nearby islands. One of these is a highly hostile location uninhabited by sentient races, that of Tharbe. This is further divided into six nations. The area is known for temperate weather with a good growing season from early spring into early falls, and particularly bitter winters, often getting foot deep snow at the coldest stretch. The smattering of tiny islands that dot the entire region, only the largest ever getting a place on a map, are known to sometimes hide great treasures from ages past. Rumors state that primitive races, more beast than man, are all that remain from the Upheaval, but expidtions into the uknown reaches never come back, and those that do only bring back fantastical stories of unnatural blood magics and beast men with strange stone weapons, jungles so thick that an axe is needed with every step. This natural barrier prevents exploration north, isolating the archipelago from whatever else may or may not be still surviving. The culture is one of flourishing technology. Arcane magic and technology are woven in the mind of the average person and the greatest creations are easily the result of such combinations. Various frms of clockwork and steampowered technologies dot the land which is more at a threat from politics than monsters in the wilderness.
