<strong><span class="bbc_u">The World of Miren</span></strong><br/><br/>The known world is named Miren in the common tongue of its inhabitants. The bright orange orb of the sun transits across Miren's sky every twenty-two hours. Its two moons, Kallios and Dorios, wax and wane every eight and twenty-four days respectively, giving rise to the weeks and months of its 298-day calendar. Kallios is a large silver moon, and Dorios is smaller and an odd pale green.<br/><br/>Miren's history began a mere 317 years ago, for everything before that point was wiped clean from history - both the memories of its people and the records of scholars - by the Great Forgetting. All that remains from before that time are the buildings that were in place, and the extremely scarce gleanings of archeologists who dig up arcane relics. The prevailing theory is that the gods levied the Great Forgetting upon mortals for some transgression, but Miren's most powerful priests have been unable to coax an explanation from their divine patrons.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Cordovia</span><br/><br/>The kingdom of Cordovia prospered better than any other after the Great Forgetting, thanks mostly to its well-established capital, Lansite. Not only is Lansite situated in an excellent position for any city - on a sheltered harbour, fed by a powerful river, close to prime farming land and rich mineral deposits - but its city infrastructure dwarfed the rudimentary villages found elsewhere in Miren. Perhaps there was a reason for Lansite to be spared the gods' wrath, or perhaps it was simply good fortune, but the human lords of Lansite - which is to say, the humans who were most quickly able to get their bearings in the wake of the Great Forgetting - were able to take advantage of Lansite's sturdy buildings and well-planned streets to establish order and organize food, shelter and military protection for its people. The royal palace in Lansite is a wonder to behold, featuring a throne room that overlooks the entire city.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Other realms</span><br/><br/>WIP<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Other threads:<br/><br/>OOC thread (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=303864)<br/>Characters thread (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=303931)<br/>IC thread (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=304194)<br/>Side IC thread (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=304828)<br/>
