Instead of just playing one of these fine settings, you can play all three in the same campaign. These options just add to the huge amount of options you can experience in the world of Arcanis. A number of the places have been mentioned, so I think I'll detail a few more. You can have an adventure set in Ymandragore, a city where arcane might is the only way to get into the ruling class, ruled by a mad creature called The Sorceror King who has agents all over Onara hunting down and abducting arcane casters as part of his scheme to become a god. The only law in this city is not to mess with the ruler and do whatever he tells or his direct agents tell you to. You can also if you want to make up your own stuff go into either Elonbe or The Vastwood, home to the mysterious extremely xenophbic immortal race called the Ellorri. This race used to be slaves to the various intelligent reptilian extremely evil collaboration of races which together are called The Sseth. They however rebeled and overthrew the continent spanning empire the Sseth had and turned from their evil ways. Only vague hints have ever been given about how the Ellorri nations are run, so you can basicaly do whatever you want with their nations in terms of polotical situations, military situation, biases, and nearly everything else. Another interesting area to run a campaign in would be the Ssethregoran Empire it's self. After the Ellori revolution they were forced into a large tropical swamp. The prevailing alignment here is Lawful Evil. The empire has a very strong caste system determined by race. With the Naga on top, Ssanu (sort of snake people) right below them, Ssressen (lizard men) farther down the line (although they can still hold influential positions). On the bottom are the troglodytes, and below even them are the kobolds. Below even these low castes are the gobliniods and other slave races created by the Ssanu Technomancers (genetic enginners). The official religion of the empire used to the worship of the ancient gods that created them, but recently when their gods felll silent their worship has changed to that of an evil alien race called the Varn, the most powerful of which have risen to demi-god status. The only exception here is that of the worship of Jeggal Sag, which is a true dragon: spawned directly from the mating of the two creators of the Ssethric races, which are the most ancient gods we know about. The true dragons were imprisoned by the Valinor, direct servants of the human gods in a war.Well, I could go on forever but I'm going to stop here. As you can see, there are many very detailed and vastly different empires and kingdomes in this world, and I didn't come close to getting to everything. I didn't even mention the area behind the gods wall (populated by native infernals and humans), The enlightened republic of Altheria (based off of Middle Eastern culture in the 1100s and 1200s I'm pretty sure), the Western Lands (based off of Feudal Japan), or the Khitani Empire, which rivals the Coryani empire in power, but we know very little else.</blockquote>
