On the continent of Rysil there are 4 countries. The Machine Empire to the north east, Figaro to the west, Gemordia to the south east and Zodicia in the center of it all. The continent is surrounded by the Ocean of Dreams.
Mythic History
The Olde Gods created the world Ulithelid’s inhabtants in their own image. It was dark times, both literally and figuratively. The Illithiads ruled the surface of the world and their pets, the humans, were their toys and slaves. Some escaped and went on to become savage fighters of the Illithiads and some died. The new gods came and a divine battle broke out over new rulers and morality. While in the Outer Planes the fight only took a little bit, many, many years passed on Ulithelid.
The humans began worshipping the new gods because they looked human and they needed to be saved from their monsterous masters and gods. After the devastating battle, the olde gods were banished, driven away from Ulithelid and Morpheus and Arichoe were the one survivors. The other gods that came with them had died. Morpheus placed the Illithiads into a deep, deep slumber and Arichoe wove a hole in the planet and stuck them their so they would never rise and terrorize the humans again.
The humans were abandoned by the olde gods and all the new gods except Morpheus and Arioche, but they were now free. Morpheus and Arioche did their best to to bring the world to light and life. The Lord of Sleep and Dreams and his Spider Queen. But they were not together, merely friends. Arioche started to get jealous of Morpheus as he started gathering worshippers. Her Divinity was granted, not inherited and she didn’t want to take orders from him, so she left to scour the world. Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes, Humans and some hafling worshippers, followed her into the dark Underground were they became corrupted and she started to hand out Divinity to those who pleased her. They all started resenting the surface dwellers.
Arioche and Morpheus both created new pantheons and the world, as it always happens, evolved and all was fine … for a while.
Past History
About 1000 years ago, a large meteor crashed on the northeastern section of the continent Rysil. Those in Zodicia (founded and named after Morpheus left the Material Plane), sought to discover what it was and what secrets it might hold. The impact was so hard (and the metor was so huge) that the site was now surrounded by mountains. A small part of the continent broke off during the meteor crash, forming an island named The Isle of Nod. It was thus named because of rumors abound about a mystic portal to Morpheus’ home.
The meteor had a strange metal in it called Xenolemat. It was an odd silver colored metal with various multicolored crystals growing on it. It became widely used in the kingdom of Zodicia, because that was the only kingdom at the time. Then came Project: Infusium. The scientists and scholars of Zodicia discovered this rare and unique metal had mystic properties and wasn’t harmful but very beneficial. To certain people at least.
Those who were exposed during Project: Infusium, started gaining powers of the mind and harnessing powers within one of the six colored gems found in the metal. After studying the crystalline structure of the metal, they renamed it: Xenocrystalanium. The scientists began infusing people with a liquid concentrate of the Xenocrystalanium. Those infused gained the ability to cast spells spontaneously, unlike mages who had to study. The jealousy of the mages started to rise. They had to study long hours and these upstarts had power at their fingertips. They also grew to despise those with mind powers as they didn’t need to study either.
To stop anything from happening, the newly named Sorcerrers and Psions, left Zodicia and left for the swamps to the southeast of Rysil. After passing through them, they discovered luscious plains and founded their own country using the Darkenmire Swamp as a boarder. It was named Gemordia.
Meanwhile, the scientists split into two groups. One who wanted to continue the research of various races and Xenocrystalanium. The other group thought it was a bad idea. The Twelve (a council who rules Zodicia, but no one has seen as they have messengers) ruled they had seen and heard enough. They forbade the use of the crystal metal. With that, one group of scientists and scholars left to the plains beyond the mountains to the west of Zodicia and founded their own kingdom, Figaro. Ten years after its founding, due to some bad experiments, Figaro became a desert wasteland. The other group became very bitter and started cursing the Twelve and their city. They left to head to the site of the meteor crash and were never heard from again.
Recent Past
Within the past 150 years, Zodicia has heard and felt from a new matriarchy where they meteor crashed. They call themselves the Machine Empire. They haved developed unique forms of technology, steam and magick. They are called Machteam (mash-team) and Magitek (magi-tech). They have sent warriors made of metal and warriors with unique weapon creations to Zodicia, but the kingdom of Figaro has come to its founding city’s aid. Figaro scientists say it’s the one of the original group of scientists who left for the meteor site and they are now hording and using the metal.
Gemordia has stayed neutral as both the Machine Empire and Figaro don’t trust them. The Machine Empire doesn’t trust them because they know what they are capable of and their full capacity for power. Figaro doesn’t trust them because they too know their full capacity for power, but don’t know where they stand. They could make powerful allies … or deadly enemies.
