Each is then populated by a genasi race of the appropriate type. The outer ring of land is the human/elf/whatever lands. These Genasi represent ancient and decadent race that had dwindled over the ages but are now rising again and again warring among themselves because of their conflicting gods.2) The Genasi control the elments and some elemental-related monsters in their own lands:-- Air Genasi = control storms over their land ; can summon air demons (Djinns) and elementals ; pacts with blue dragons and cloud giants.-- Earth Genasi = control earthquakes on their land ; can summon earth demons (Daos) and elementals ; pacts with black dragons and stone giants.-- Fire Genasi = control volcanoes on their land ; can summon fire demons (Efreeti) and elementals ; pacts with red dragons and fire giants.-- Water Genasi = control storms along their shores and floods on their land ; can summon water demons (Marid) and elementals ; pacts with sea dragons and sea giants.3) This four parts continent is home to warring alien "gods" (of the Cthulhu Mythos kind). Itaqua or hastur for the land of air Genasi; Cthugha for fire Genasi; Cthulhu for water Genasi; and Tastogghua or Shub Niggurath for earth Genasi (all names and cults would be adapted but the flavor would remain Lovecraftian). There was a war in a distant past when these alien "gods" were vanquished by the "god" of cold. However, being "gods" they didn't die but were banished on this alternate demi-plane (a reflection of the Earth at that epoch before the cataclysm) where they slumbered for so long. But now they are waking up (thanks to their worshippers again calling upon them for war purposes). 4) Something I don't know is about the "god" of Cold. I guess he should reside deep under the ocean at the north pole on real Earth? That place would be linked linked to the demi-plane through the magical mountain at the center of the map. Through the ages, the Genasi fought him through this mountain, but now they are fighting among themselves (they and their "gods" are too chaotic) so the "god" of ice may regain power and bring a new ice-age on Earth?5) Over time some humans found their way into this alternate world, and brought their culture with them. Such cultures didn't evolve into a modern civilization due to the isolation and peculiar conditions of this plane. So you find medieval humans (Christian priests and knights) in Greenland (sort of new Albion); Vikings in the part resembling Scandinavia; some Slavians city-states to the east; and Mongols hordes in the Asia part. Because of too many monsters and a harsh cilmate, no significant humans in the America northern part (maybe this place was overrun by goblinoids that are hominids from distant prehistory?). 6) PCs must come from the human lands. Probably they come from normal Earth and found their way into this strange demi-plane. At first they will be on some of the perimeter landmasses, but then will learn about the center continent. Well, I would be glad that you discuss and change/improve these premises as you see fit.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
