North of the equator is a fertile, rich land with streams full of fish and a land fileld with natural resources. It's a heavenly land, and it's all ruled by the Empire. The Empire has achieved all that it wants to achieve. There is nothing more for them to gain. They have, in their minds, effectively conquered the world.
The Empire is split into 163 provinces, each ruled by a Baron, and some split into further subprovinces. The barons all pay their taxes to the Emperor and the Emperor's advisors distribute the wealth and resources throughout the land.
A large ocean splits the Empire into two continents, which they call "front" and "back" in the Imperial language. Both access each other only through the Arctic sea. Back Empire is known for its rich mines, while Front Empire is more fertile and commonly exports luxury cloth.
The oceans are huge and hostile.. the only access south is via the islands near the equator.
South of the equator is a harsher land. The lands are either arid and hot steppes, rocky and cold mountains, or wet and humid jungle. Many tribes fight each other for power. The Empire tends to banish misbehaving people to the south, who are happy to get more recruits for their wars.
There are many, many small nations, but only a few notable larger ones.
Dayum is the largest and most peaceful, they own the southwestern steppes. They are mostly a religious nation who rely heavily on horses in daily life. They tend to get frequently raided, so they have a heavy focus on city militia.
Tansela lies between the equatorial islands and the mountains. They have the most fertile lands of the southern hemisphere, but have the (un)strategic location on the center island of the South. As such, they would be the richest lands of the South if they weren't plundered so often.
Ennis is situated on the volcanic jungle on the eastern side of the South. They are among the poorest people, but the hardiest. The Enni have a strong raiding culture. They are the best known mercenaries of the South.
Heriz are a nation on the mountains that border Dayum and Tansela. They have a strong warrior culture, and their mountain cities are said to be impossible to siege. However, their non-mountain cities often change hands with both Dayum and Tansela.
Yao is an island nation somewhere to the southwest. Their island is most notable for the "Great Wall" that surrounds it. They build the sturdiest ships in the world, mostly used for direct trade with the North. Yao often attacks Tansela to get a bigger market share.
The equator is by far, the most interesting part of the world. The Empire has lost many men in trying to scout the jungle, so they have abandoned any plan of controlling the equator and anything southern.
The equator is mostly jungle and islands, and is the main link between North and South. It is the world's biggest trade center and refugee camp, but also a hotbed of piracy. While there are many small tribes, three large factions fight for equatorial control.
The Kingdom of Tunayzi is made of seafarers and traders. They are known for being elite martial artists, loyal to their king. They often choose to travel light and make the fastest galleys in the world. Their cities are on the two largest islands, although their galleys patrol the rest of the islands.
Sattakoh lies mainly in the jungles that connect to the mainland. They have one road that connects directly into the Empire's lands, but the Empire avoids sending caravans through the jungles, preferring to send their armored trade ships to Sattakoh's shores. They have a rivalry with Tunayzi, but never direct war.
Pagos are a nation of people who have thrived mainly on piracy. They stay mainly on the various small islands, raiding Tunayzi and Sattakoh, and even a few Southern or Empire trade ships.
Most of the game takes place in the equator, for good reason. Strange creatures, new discoveries, and many tribes inhabit the jungle. It pulls in adventurers who wish to make their wealth in the world. The game won't actually allow you to explore the North or South, but you'll get to interact with and even influence either side.
