The Nations of Maphis
Orlossis
Located on the northern end of the continent, Orlossis is a cold nation full of mountains and hills. The Orcs are divided into various tribes, who spend their entire lives hunting, training, sometimes fighting each other, and occasionally invading the lands of the Wood Elves or Dark Elves - they are usually repelled. But they have recently heard of the new Sorusian Colony on a nearby island, and may consider turning their eye towards the new target...
Talong**d
Homeland of the Wood Elves, Talongard is an extremely dense forest with trees that can go up to a hundred feet in height. There the tribal Wood Elves live in harmony with nature, never hunting or harvesting more than they need, always staying on the move, and fiercely defending the forest from those who would seek to cut it down or otherwise harm it.
The Drow Kingdom
Located on the western end of the continent, neighboring the Talongard Forest, the Drow Kingdom has a temperate climate not unlike that of New Sorus. It is perhaps the most orderly nation on the continent, and the closest to Sorus in terms of technology. It is ruled by a Monarchy, and for some strange region every child in the Royal Family turns out to be a mage. If it is because of some sort of spell, they have not shared it, but mages are highly respected in Drow society - any commoner Drow who develops magic automatically becomes a member of the lower nobility... and is often shunned for being born a commoner. Drow politics are ruthless, and they are mistrustful of outsiders.
Wood Elf legend says that the Dark Elves originate from various tribes of Wood Elves who united, abandoned their ways, and went west to establish a new civilization, pillaging the land for its resources and developing a kingdom. For completely spitting in the face of the traditional Elf Way, the Creator cursed them with discoloured skin.
Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.
