The world is called Hasnetania, and consists of six kingdoms: The Kingdom of Aegnis, the Vekar Empire, Dineian, the Sloniris Associated, the Qocuria Kingdom and Uyaepitor. The Kingdom of Aegnis is a mysterious land to the rest of Hasnetania, having been closed off from the rest of the world for a thousand years due to magic of "Heaven" and "Hell" which came down to the world and blessed magic to the world, while creating the walls of Everlasting Light and Everlasting Darkness enshrouding the Kingdom of Aegnis. That kingdom is divided into Norm (the side of the light), and Mron (the side of the dark), and is said to hold 80% of all of the magic of Hasnetania, with a large amount of inherent magic users. The Kingdom of Aegnis is farthest south kingdom, equal to the Qocuria Kingdom in latitude, and has the most interesting magical climate. The farther west to Norm, the lighter the skies are, and the farther east to Mron, the darker the skies are, until it is forever day, or forever night.
The Vekar Empire is an ambitious empire led by Octavia Vyner, the intimidating shadow queen who wields magical artifacts blessed by the natural magic of the earth god, Uya. It mixes both technological and magical aspects into a steampunk-magic-run society. The capital sits at the base of the mountains that guard the Kingdom of Aegnis, and often receives a lot of magic that seeps through the ranges. The land beyond the mountains is mostly desert.
Dienian is largely a farming community with the occasional simple stone fortified castle, and are allies to the Vekar Empire, taking up the land northwest of the empire. They provide for the majority of food in Hasnetania, with flat lands and rich fields of crops. It is led by King Callum.
Uyaepitor is the land of the earth god Uya, and is the most wild and neutral land of the six kingdoms, full of diverse forests and the northernmost tundra. Only small, scattered hunters or families live here - there is no cohesive system here, spare the Forest Guardian who monitors those that come and go in the forest.
The Sloniris Associated, or just Sloniris, is the one of the most forward-thinking kingdoms, and the only to have a republic - the Kingdom of Aegnis, the Vekar Empire, and Dienian are all monarchies. Sloniris has "modern" products and runs off of a more refined technology than the Vekar Empire, as it is much more limited in magic, only rarely fueling their technology with stored magic. The streets are clean and the law is strict, but just, and they hold the most controversial opinions and are often criticized themselves. Their land is mostly rolling hills with occasional coastal forests, near the ocean. It is separated from the landmass compromised of the Kingdom of Aegnis, the Vekar Empire, Dienian and Uyaepitor by a salt river a mile wide.
The Qocuria Kingdom is made of a coalition of tribes led by a agreed-upon every five years 'Queen' who works with his advisors and other high-ranking tribe members much more than other kingdoms. They believe strongly in social mobility and the survival of the fittest. To the rest of the world, their living styles are the oldest, beholding to no technology, but rather magic, the gods, fate and their own rituals of belief. Typically, they keep to themselves, but do occasionally trade with Sloniris. It is on the same landmass as Sloniris, and its lands are full of dense forests that are rich in history and magic.
