Flameverse
Introduction
A small world swathed in the light of its broken suns and moons, stretching from its northern ice cap to its southern abyssal ocean. Across its six continents are strewn Flames - incredible sparks of conceptual power. Bound to the magical Magninium inherent in all living beings, these Flames find themselves nestled within people and blood, granting their tenders unique boons. And, in turn, their bearers kindle their precious Flames - gaining strength, power, influence, admiration, and immortality.
And so it has been, since the dawn of time. So think its people, busy toiling in work and food and politics and religion. So think its mortals, distracted by adherences to ritual, indulgences of ambition, and worries of famine. But to those privy to the keys of reality, the insignificance of their existence - and this cycle's forced perpetuity - is the centerpoint of everything.

Lacraya
The southeasterly continent, primarily badlands, mountains, tundra, and a few scattered pine forests. With its closest neighbors being Chellabra and the Isle, it has remained isolated for most of its life, with only its coastal nation taking advantage of its gentle waters.
However, the Holy Empire's growing power and embracing attitude towards Flames have made Lacraya a hotspot of powerful Flame refugees, fleeing prosecution, regulation, or abuse on the other continents. Such a host of individuals have brought international attention to its borders - especially as the newest Emperor's twin Flames are akin to a deities'.
The Holy Empire
Lacraya's hegemon, which tends Flame and has historically been led by an Emperor wielding the Dominion Blue Flame of Victory. Though most of its lands are barren and unsuitable for farming, most settlements line the fertile Savalla River Valley. Despite its low populace and low quality of life, the Empire out-produces most other nations in new Flame and stokes them the easiest.
Important People
The Sendrean Kingdoms
The westernmost nation on Lacraya, the Sendrea Kingdoms are a group of loosely-allied coastal duchies that originally united to end squabbles over taxation and trade. In their dazzling, rich cities, ambition and money flow from hand to pocket to position - a fabled land where anyone can become anything.
Important People
Verebriva
Dense pine forests coat Verebriva wherever snow-filled tundra fades. The eldest nation still on Lacraya, its history has been darkened by antagonistic Flame and their resultant aversion. Though hardship defines its people and unforgiving land, Verebriva still holds its head high, venerating the powerful warrior who defended it from those corrupted by ego and Flame.

The Isle of Shattered Stars
A small island, situated in the central ocean, the Isle is the only reprieve of ships during long transits. But, not only does it reap the benefits of extensive taxes - the Isle is a religious location for many, said to be the island the gods convened on to plan the world.
It was marked when the moons and suns shattered - supposedly, a shard of the First Moon fell into the lagoon dominating the Isle's center. Its power irradiated the water, blending Flame and magic into one stream that could heal and harm in equal tenor.
Cellest
A bustling tourist city, and the heart of the Isle. Dozens flock to drink from the Moon-Sister-Lagoon, said to be where the stars themselves were drafted by the Ardor. Its magical waters were once abused by Adleri Avast, though he was thwarted by Falacer Furina and banished. Now it serves as a trading checkpoint for oceanic trips and a religious beacon for pilgrims.

Chellabra
An industrious mining continent, Chellabra's denizens toil in the thousands of mountains that chop the landmass into valleys and peaks. With soil too dry and cracked to grow crops, and no real sources of freshwater, they depend on their dictator-god Mewt Mavet to provide for them.
And provide he does - magicking up supplies to cater to his entire nation's needs daily, with a wave of his hand. In gratitude, his people offer their mined gemstones and minerals to him, which are sold to the other continents at a tight profit. His rule is enforced by the Dewclaws, the mysterious and skilled cult dedicated to his worship. They harvest Flame - which is forbidden in Chellabra - to feed to their god.
Maweth
Chellabra's de-facto leader, most powerful nation, and the unified face it presents in global politics. Maweth is rich from gemstone mining, provided by its ample workforce and vast mountains. Few plants and animals can call the harsh peaks home, and so Mewt Mavet utilizes his Flames to create food, water, shelter, and medicines - making him the centerpoint of Chellabran life.

Evenne
A small island, situated in the central ocean, the Isle is the only reprieve of ships during long transits. But, not only does it reap the benefits of extensive taxes - the Isle is a religious location for many, said to be the island the gods convened on to plan the world.
It was marked when the moons and suns shattered - supposedly, a shard of the First Moon fell into the lagoon dominating the Isle's center. Its power irradiated the water, blending Flame and magic into one stream that could heal and harm in equal tenor.
Evenne
A mystery to all who call the Flameverse home. Supposedly, a medium-sized island off the western coast of Bivve, filled with wondrous buildings and strange artifacts. Its people, incredible mages and intelligent scholars, were remarkably unfriendly to visitors, though they occasionally probed into the world for inscruitable reasons. And, if that wasn't enough, they had the power to control their island's location.
