Welcome to Dauning!

Dauning is an Earth-like fantasy planet full of magic and wonder. It orbits a star known as Eyeternal. Dauning is thought to be the third planet away from Eyeternal, though little is known about any of the planets in this solar system other than Dauning. Those who believe in gods believe that Eyeternal is their window into examining the orbiting planets, all of which were their creations, though were left mostly to run themselves. The gods chose Dauning to be the central planet for life, as it was in the perfect position to host it. The planet itself has five layers: the Crust, the Mantle, the Core Shield, the Arcanic Core, and the Central Core. The Crust is broken into two parts: the surface, which is made up of continental crust and oceanic crust, and the Infernosphere, which is made up of molten rock, some of which leaks up in the area that the Imledell Empire is built on. The Mantle is a thick layer of solid, hard rock. No mortal has made it past the Infernosphere to see it, but some constructs have. However, no construct has made it deeper into the Mantle. The core is made up of three layers, all of which were studied by constructs who could detect seismic waves. The Core Shield is the outermost layer of the core, made up of adamantine (the metal) and platinum. It’s unbreakable, and serves as both a container and a form of protection for the inner layers of the core, hence the name. The Arcanic Core is the middle layer of the core, made up of liquified crystal with magical qualities. It’s the source of almost all magic found in Dauning. The Central Core is the innermost layer of the core, made of a variety of magnetic metals and a type of gemstone called Blitzstone, which generates electricity. This combination creates the magnetic field of Dauning, which combined with solar wind from Eyeternal, creating the magnetosphere of Dauning. The majority of the inhabited land in Dauning is relatively close, with majority of Dauning being made up of random islands with animals, unexplored regions, and ocean. The northern hemisphere of Dauning tends to be colder, while the southern tends to be warmer. Majority of the land is concentrated in the North-Eastern hemisphere, right on the edge of it. Between Misthaven and the other nations lies the Siren Ocean. Below Misthaven is the Construct Ocean. Below the Canepack Empire is the Silas Ocean. And in between the Construct Ocean and the Silas Ocean is the Southern Ocean. The land that harbors Misthaven has mid-to-low temperatures, and is covered by forests. There are also caves, and within those caves is an abundance of copper, iron, cassiterite, adamantine, and a gemstone called Blitztstone. With the cassiterite, the inhabitants of Misthaven can get tin, and use that with the copper to make bronze. They also use the iron to make steel. Typical crops grown in Misthaven include wheat, beets, potatoes, carrots, spinach, and lettuce. Farming is automated by constructs. The land claimed by the Imledell Empire is mostly mountainous, though the southern edge is made of pine forests, plus a river running through some of the mountains, and is cold year-round. The mountains are full of graphite, gold, silver, and diamonds (in the areas near volcanoes), and within the river in the mountains is an abundance of more gold and rhodium, and the Imledell Empire used to make the rhodium black with ink and make armor out of it. The Imledell Empire’s crops tend to be carrots, potatoes, lettuce, and spinach. The land on which the Donnern Empire was built is made up entirely by pine forests with a few mountains, and like Misthaven, it’s usually mid-to-low temperatures. There’s a small bit of water that runs through the land, and the caves around that area are full of iron. Their crops consists of cabbage, lettuce, spinach, potatoes, carrots, beets, barley, blueberries, and ginger. And the land that includes the Canepack Empire of which the Wolfbloods originate from is made up of a mix between oak forests and plains, with a few beaches on the edges, and is mostly mid temperatures. Due to the abundance of rivers and beaches, there are tons of gemstones, rhodium, and gold, allowing the inhabitants to make a variety of jewelry. There is also titanium, platinum, and iron found in the caves next to the rivers. However, the inhabitants try to be careful about how much they mine, due to caring about the land. Their crops are all kinds of fruits and berries, wheat, potatoes, beets, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms. Next to the Canepack Empire is an area of unclaimed forests, with the same climate as the Canepack Empire. The climates of unclaimed islands vary on location. As for the structure and culture of each nation, Misthaven is a representative democracy. Misthaven tends to be full of engineers, scientists, historians, various types of artists, and similar careers. People within Misthaven tend to live in suburban areas and big cities. They emphasize education and ingenuity, and prioritize advancement. Misthaven is largely atheist dominated. The main language is Common. The Imledell Empire is an absolute monarchy, functioning in a way similar to feudalism, with wealthy families overseeing each city. Those at the bottom live in poverty while the people at the top live in extreme comfort. Their structures in the upper class areas are often golden and fancy. Armed guards patrol the streets. Most religions are forbidden. The vast majority of the population is made up of high elves and standard humans, and the primary language is Elvish. The Donnern Empire is similar to Nordic culture, especially in architecture. The government is a constitutional monarchy. Blacksmiths are a common job in the Donnern Empire, as are bartenders. The primary language is Common. The Canepack Empire functions similarly to a direct democracy, with citizens directly voting on each law. The town leaders only exist to read out voting results, and the royal family is mostly a family of glorified diplomats. The Canepack Empire tends to prioritize art (especially music), nature, and close connections. The structures are mostly caves that have been transformed into houses. The population is mostly made of Wolfbloods. The most common religion is Deedism, and the most spoken language is Common. Each nation is made up of four main towns and, with the exception of Misthaven, a bunch of smaller towns. The four towns in Misthaven are Vaporforge, Copperden, Steelwood, and Bronzetown. The four main towns in the Imledell Empire are the Golden City, Rhodium Town, Cliff's Edge, and Morrowind. The four main towns in the Donnern Empire are Stormpoint, Woodwind, Forgetown, and Mornington. The four cities in the Canepack Empire are Metropforest, Packden, Huntsford, and Furtown.

Dauning is not the only important realm, however. In between life and death, outside of space and time, there lies a realm known as the Fields. The Fields, to a mortal, is completely pitch black, but to the inhabitants, is just another sunny day. The land is made up of multiple floating islands, made of black rock with stalagmite and mountains poking out. There are rivers and falls made of a special type of magma that produces Hellfire. Below the islands is an endless void. There are fire plants, bushes, and flowers, as well as trees made of hardened ash. There is also an abundance of iron, which the inhabitants turn into steel for armor and weaponry. Despite the hell-like qualities, the Fields are not an afterlife meant for endless torture. Instead, it’s inhabited by an alternative form of humans, who look almost identical to regular humans and human variants, except for their demonic/draconic like eyes. Most of these inhabitants have powers granted to them by the Fields. Some inhabitants have even figured out how to traverse between the Fields and Dauning. There are no nations, and instead there are just individual towns.
