The Wider World (CCW)

"Humanity originated on the continents of Mozra and Draedah—the Old World, as it is—but in the last thousand years its true center of power has been the Vadraedic Ocean, from which the great Island Empires dispatch their ships around the globe. Humans have also settled to the East and beyond, in less hospitable and profitable locales, but with only a few exceptions, all human settlements revolve economically and spiritually around the Vadraedic.""The history of humanity has had its ebbs and flows, but nothing has shaped the modern world more than the Wars against the Gods, of which there have been four. Even the passage of years is defined by humanity’s struggle with its immortal overlords. Desatos (Ds) contains the 10,000 years of Immortal Rule, broken by Keaslios (Ks), the 2000 years of rebellion against them. And finally the current age, Kesiquos (Kq), in which humans rule themselves. The Immortal-backed Empires of the Old World gradually gave way to the rebelling Vadraedic Island powers. Immortal-worshiping Dalgun faiths gave way to the humanist, philosophical Cosmacan ones. Humans have truly mastered their own fate, at least in their own lands and seas. When it comes to the rest of the world, however…""Slowly, sometimes imperceptibly, the world shifts once more, as the other great races of the world begin to move outside their historical bounds. With more contact comes more technologies, ideas, and goods. Ground is lost and new ground is staked. And as the world gets smaller, humans will once again have to find their place in it."The Human world is often divided into five overarching zones, with the mighty Vadraedic ocean at the center and four regions radiating out from it; the historical domains of the Four Great Empires. Though the balance of power has since shifted, the lasting effects of these four empires means that these zones remain culturally and economically distinct: You might also explore +Religion on the main page, or return.
