	The Lands of the Dead. Nehekara is the sub-continent to the far east of the land. It is surrounded by mountain ranges, including Mt. Karks from Failord, where various Slavic-like peoples have lived under the yolk of the undead for centuries. Other countries are vaguely aware of this fact, but due to the undead patience and apparent stoicism, no country has taken the risk to try to declare war on them since the last Plague Wars fr'om years ago. Starting from rather Northern countries with harsh winters, going down to a near-desert climate, the purported origin of Nehekara.<br>		The Lands of the Dead.

	'''Luozorl''': A crag-surrounded country with short summers, harsh winters, and never ending fall, it is one of the countries most open to trade with the rest of the continent. Its capital, Moribidia, is one of the largest cities in Nehakara. It has a militia, but its entire army is contained in Luozorl Castle, where the Archduke rules over the country, from his mountain-side castle, Walach. Moribidia, however, is close to all the mountain passes, and has many visitors, and most people there live in relative safety despite the rumors about their lands, due to their use for the country's economy, or so observers believe. Three Houses (Anabelle, Demion, Yzark) of [[Clan Lambach]] are prominent in this land, with House Demion being the most numerous and influential.<br>		'''Luozorl''': A crag-surrounded country with short summers, harsh winters, and never ending fall, it is one of the countries most open to trade with the rest of the continent.

	'''Slyvania''': he tree-bound country of Slyvania possesses the largest fluvial waterway, the River Stier, going across almost all of Nehekara, birthing almost every major river, and going through the mountains, the only 'safe' way through Nehekara, according to travelers. However, the inhabitants of Slyvania are aware of this, and have extensive patrols from both the local militias and the Kargat, the military police which governs the land, to prevent smugglers and tax travelers. The majority of the land is a lush, forest paradise, and its purported capital city is Fort Essen, a former wartime fort built on the river itself. It is a leader of industry and creation in the country. Castle Vanhaldelschlose is where the Prince of Slyvania lives, and all divisions of the Kargat are to spend one year of service, alternating, at the castle. This land is the land of origin of Clan Lambach, and five Houses divide the area among themselves. House Lahmia, House Neteure, House Zash, House Long, and House Lambach itself.<br>		'''Slyvania''': The tree-bound country of Slyvania possesses the largest fluvial waterway, the River Stier, going across almost all of Nehekara, birthing almost every major river, and going through the mountains, the only 'safe' way through Nehekara, according to travelers.

	'''East Zuul''': A nearly barren land, built around a large mountain, appropriately enough called Mt. Zuul, or the Silver Peak. Tying into the mountain range, Mt. Zuul was purportedly a Dwarven miracle of engineering and design, beautiful, sturdy and built to last, but nothing of the Dwarves remains this day. The Silver Peak has become both the Capital and the home of the royal family of East Zuul. Various cities, forts, and trading posts are built around the main mountain, with the other peaks housing larger cities, once again taken from the Dwarves. Fortress Bludhaven practically grows out of the Silver Peak, but its main military force operates out of Zuul itself. The only sources of education and magical knowledge in this land come from Houses Anabelle and Hotario, of Clan Lambach.<br>		'''East Zuul''': A nearly barren land, built around a large mountain, appropriately enough called Mt.

	'''Ka-Sabar''': A deserted wasteland, crossing the Dead Sea, linked to Nehekara due to its purported origins as the Lands of the Dead. Formerly populated by barbarian tribes, in times long past scholars came to this land, and formed a large city, the planned center of culture for 'AGRABAH LAND'. Unfortunately, one day, a very influential and powerful family took root in the country, and before long, the barbarian tribes had been culled and herded, which was seemingly good for the city of Tien-Ahmed. But before long the entire city cut off all contact with the rest of the world. Today, only nomads live in Ka-Sabar, because it is said that while there is no larger font of knowledge than the city of Tien-Ahmed, to travel there after dark is to seek eternal damnation. The entire country's population are ghouls, enslaved barbarians, and vampires. House Lambach shares the night with the Vampires, having made a deal centuries ago with the undead lords of the place.<br>		'''Ka-Sabar''': A deserted wasteland, crossing the Dead Sea, linked to Nehekara due to its purported origins as the Lands of the Dead.

	'''[[Ogres]]''': Ogres are the opposite of Elves, the other Great Race born from the war of the gods, and beings of pure magic. Brutish, savage, wild and generally vile, disgusting creatures, they are some of the most powerful warriors in the lands, and have spread the furthest. Known as ''Oni'' in the [[Rankai Lands]], Ogres come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and vary from the near-mindless Ogres commonly known to the incredibly magically potent and devilishly intelligent Ogre Magi.<br>		'''[[Ogres]]''': Ogres are the opposite of Elves, the other Great Race born from the war of the gods, and beings of pure magic.

They claim to be the oldest people in the World, and their culture being primitive.. and having been so for as long as the other races were young, seems to hold some water among scholars. However true this may or may not be, the Lizard People are not especially fond of 'Warmbloods' and tend to hunt and kill them whenever their territories are breached.

	'''[[Goblins]]''': A race of scavengers, traders and essentially criminals, Goblins are the most widespread race short of humans across all of Largias. This is due to their resilience, adaptability, and their utter lack of personal or racial honor. Goblins are survivors par excellence. They will stoop to any low and do anything, provided it allows them to survive. Rumors among other races is that Goblins are cannibalistic, and so far they have done nothing to deny this. They are, however, the cornered black market from the entirety of Largias. No one will ever admit to dealing with Goblins, but they are either dirty, filthy bandits and scavengers, or filthy, decadently rich, with basically no 'middle class'. This speaks volumes, and their overall spread is why they are so valued as traders and 'acquirers' of special items.

	*'''[[Mountain Elves]]''': Elves who have broken off from their counterparts, moving into the Mountains in lieu of the Forests. They have decided to remove themselves from the World entirely, wanting to avoid dealing with the Humans and Dwarves, and, if necessary, other Elves as well. They are not at war with their High Elf cousins, but their outlooks make them distrustful of one another, and both would rather avoid each other for the time being.. which is going on a few centuries now. They moved Northward, but this put them directly at odds with the Orcs, which was clearly in the Elves' favor for a long time, until the Orcs established their Keishig.		*'''[[Mountain Elves]]''': Elves who have broken off from their counterparts, moving into the Mountains in lieu of the Forests.

	*'''[[Shadow Elves]]''': Elves which migrated to Rafisto, more interested in dealing with other races as merchants, magical mercenaries and other means, who found the snobbishness of the High Elves and isolationist policies of the Mountain Elves distasteful. The exact reasons why they left is suspected to be a power dispute, where the Shadow Elf leaders had less than moral ideas on what to do with Elven Society that others disagreed to, but neither side will discuss. Shadow Elves have traded their mastery of Nature to focus on the Elements and the Shadow, making them outcasts among Elven Society, which suits them just fine.		*'''[[Shadow Elves]]''': Elves which migrated to Rafisto, more interested in dealing with other races as merchants, magical mercenaries and other means, who found the snobbishness of the High Elves and isolationist policies of the Mountain Elves distasteful.

			*'''[[Wild Elves]]''': Elves who have abandoned the veneer of nobility that their cousins have. These Elves are rangers, scouts and druids, becoming practically one with nature. More attuned to their inner magics than other Elves, but shunning the study of it to further their oneness with nature, these Elves eschew the comfort of cities and live almost entirely among trees. They avoid fire, they stay away from any civilization, and by and large have had little to no encounters with any of the other races, save for the occasional adventurer. These Elves are supposedly the closest to their roots, and their high druids confer with their fellow Elves, but they are the unspoken race of the Elves.
	'''[[Dwarves]]''': A proud and industrious race, the Dwarves are a gruff, no-nonsense, and progress-driven race. This makes them invaluable inventors and craftsmen, and their longer, yet still limited, lifespan gives many of them a wisdom no Human and most Elves will never achieve. However, Dwarves are no less self-righteous than the others. They are unfairly stubborn and make no plans for the future. As industrious as they are, they are purely geared towards technology and craft. Socially and politically, Dwarves are stubborn and traditionalist, believers that the old Dwarven ways are always the best ways, and other races are petulant children. They are short-sighted about the future and only think in the here and now, with little regard for long-term, and when a Dwarf decides something, nothing can make them change their minds, leading to debates and accords being useless. Humans are generally ill-equipped to deal with Dwarven attitudes, and Elves consider them backward and moralizing.<br>		'''[[Dwarves]]''': A proud and industrious race, the Dwarves are a gruff, no-nonsense, and progress-driven race.

They are an offshoot of the [[Dwarves]], this much is known, but the truly odd part about them is they are completely cross-fertile with humans, leading most people to think they were created when Humans and Dwarves first.. met. Halflings are not especially talkative about the topic, and Dwarves find it distasteful. Whatever the case, they are the 'Social' and 'Merchant' caste of the Dwarven Nation, dealing with other races, especially Humans, and occasionally Elves. Halflings are known for their even tempers and good business sense, being less stubborn than Dwarves and less impulsive than Humans.<br>		*'''[[Halflings]]''': An odd race, these came about naturally, though no one really knows who or how the first Halflings were created.. specifically.

	'''Humans''': Humans are, by and large, expansionist and ambitious. They desire to further their own power, or their country's, or their god's, and feel justified in doing so. Manifest Destiny. This kind of ambition and drive, as well as their short lifespans and high reproductive capabilities, as well as the ability to cross-breed with any and all other races, has made them the most prominent race in Largias, but has also made them, at least to the other races, entitled and busybodies. Human ambition actually frightens the Elves, and genuinely angers the Dwarves, leading to whatever peace between their lands as a test of patience for everyone involved.<br>		'''Humans''': Humans are, by and large, expansionist and ambitious.

	'''[[High Elves\|Elves]]''': The longest lived species, Elves are a magical race, gifted in it, moreso than any others, as it comes naturally to them. Elves have also a special link with nature, allowing their creations and designs to have a perfect aesthetic and melange with the land, granting it both longevity and very little drawbacks. This applies to both their plans and their cities, making the Elves appear perfect. However, to the other races, Elves are useless. They have been around since Humans lived in caves and had no fire but accomplished less. Elven Elders claim Elves invented everything, and perhaps they did, but while they remember the dawn of magic and writing, Humans and Dwarves claim them to be poseurs, as it has been so long ago that no other race could've lived that long. This frustrates the Elves, but makes them appear more self-absorbed and arrogant, something they already are in spades. Humans resent Elves on almost every level, and Dwarves consider them impractical at best, destructively vain at worst.<br>		'''[[High Elves\|Elves]]''': The longest lived species, Elves are a magical race, gifted in it, moreso than any others, as it comes naturally to them.

However, Dwarves are no less self-righteous than the others. They are unfairly stubborn and make no plans for the future.

Socially and politically, Dwarves are stubborn and traditionalist, believers that the old Dwarven ways are always the best ways, and other races are petulant children. They are short-sighted about the future and only think in the here and now, with little regard for long-term, and when a Dwarf decides something, nothing can make them change their minds, leading to debates and accords being useless.

	*'''[[Halflings]]''': An odd race, these came about naturally, though no one really knows who or how the first Halflings were created.. specifically. They are an offshoot of the [[Dwarves]], this much is known, but the truly odd part about them is they are completely cross-fertile with humans, leading most people to think they were created when Humans and Dwarves first.. met. Halflings are not especially talkative about the topic, and Dwarves find it distasteful. Whatever the case, they are the 'Social' and 'Merchant' caste of the Dwarven Nation, dealing with other races, especially Humans, and occasionally Elves. Halflings are known for their even tempers and good business sense, being less stubborn than Dwarves and less impulsive than Humans.<br>		*'''[[Halflings]]''': An odd race, these came about naturally, though no one really knows who or how the first Halflings were created.. specifically.

	'''[[High Elves\|Elves]]''': The longest lived species, Elves are a magical race, gifted in it, moreso than any others, as it comes naturally to them. Elves have also a special link with nature, allowing their creations and designs to have a perfect aesthetic and melange with the land, granting it both longevity and very little drawbacks. This applies to both their plans and their cities, making the Elves appear perfect. However, to the other races, Elves are useless. They have been around since Humans lived in caves and had no fire but accomplished less. Elven Elders claim Elves invented everything, and perhaps they did, but while they remember the dawn of magic and writing, Humans and Dwarves claim them to be poseurs, as it has been so long ago that no other race could've lived that long. This frustrates the Elves, but makes them appear more self-absorbed and arrogant, something they already are in spades. Humans resent Elves on almost every level, and Dwarves consider them impractical at best, destructively vain at worst.<br>		'''[[High Elves\|Elves]]''': The longest lived species, Elves are a magical race, gifted in it, moreso than any others, as it comes naturally to them.

	'''[[Keishig\|Orcs]]''': The other great race, which almost wiped itself out before moving out of their lands, is the Orcs.

They live in tribal fashion, and are less developed than the city-dwelling other races, still living in villages. However, they are physically far more powerful than most members of other races, and are as adept at cross-breeding as the Humans are. They have recently adopted strategies, armor, and unification, and are slowly growing into a genuine military power. The most disturbing part is that most people south of Bagonia are only familiar with marauders and bandit Orcs, so underestimate them. Orcs are reviled for their unfettered savagery, brutality and bloodlust, and all other races have a problem with them.

	==Other Races==		==Other Races==
	'''[[Largias Dragons\|Dragons]]''':		'''[[Largias Dragons\|Dragons]]''': Dragons were created by the gods, and are their most enduring creation. Several, if not most, Dragons alive today are from the Age of Gods, and are the most powerful beings in Largias. While few in numbers, relatively speaking, the Dragons of Largias are by far its most influential and impressive denizens. Gods in their own right, the power of the Dragons is not to be underestimated, and their ability to affect the world is second only to Humans'.<br>
			'''[[Largias Demons\|Demons]]''': Demons in the Largias Continent, and indeed, by the world over, come in various categories, but every scholar, religious figure and magician agrees on two things: The first Demons were born of the dalliances of mortals and gods, and every single demon is an entity driven mad or to evil from its own power. These demi-gods spawned more children, with each other and mortals, and a whole race of misshapen, incredibly powerful beings were born, living in the shadows of the realm of the gods, where they now run almost freely due to the events of the War of the Gods. They have ties, though it is unclear, to the Demons of the [[Rankai Lands]].<br>
	'''[[Largias Demons\|Demons]]''':		'''[[Giants]]''': The second Children of the Gods, giants were born when the blood of gods spilled into the world, creating powerful beings born of the elements. These became known as the Giants, incredibly huge monsters which every other race fears, and with good cause. The Giants come in various forms, from the implacable Mountain Giants to the unfathomably dangerous Frost Giants. Every other race has been at war with any Giants they have come across, and with generally good cause. These beings consider no other race as anything more than food or lower, and are the most dangerous to other races, as unlike the banished Demons and increasingly rare Dragons, Giants reproduce and spread like any other race.<br>
			'''[[Ogres]]''': Ogres are the opposite of Elves, the other Great Race born from the war of the gods, and beings of pure magic. Brutish, savage, wild and generally vile, disgusting creatures, they are some of the most powerful warriors in the lands, and have spread the furthest. Known as ''Oni'' in the [[Rankai Lands]], Ogres come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and vary from the near-mindless Ogres commonly known to the incredibly magically potent and devilishly intelligent Ogre Magi.<br>
	'''[[Giants]]''':		'''[[Lizard People]]''': Known among themselves as the Rynos Sii, The Lizard People are a group of literally cold blooded, tribal and incredibly territorial reptilian humanoids from the Rafisto area, who inhabit the swamps and jungles, spreading down to the Southern Continent as well. They claim to be the oldest people in the World, and their culture being primitive.. and having been so for as long as the other races were young, seems to hold some water among scholars. However true this may or may not be, the Lizard People are not especially fond of 'Warmbloods' and tend to hunt and kill them whenever their territories are breached. They have been expanding into the lands of the Empire Of Man for centuries now, taking the spread of their Swamp Lands as proof their own gods, distinct from others in Largias, are supporting them by giving them more land.<br>
