Map of Zyraia

The Zeyr region is the area directly surrounding Mt Zeyr in the southern half of Zyraia. Once rich, fertile farmland, this was a prosperous region. However, in 673AF the volcano erupted, spreading a carpet of ash for a hundred miles. Now, the land south west of Mt Zeyr remains desolate and abandoned.

Urycquan was a divided nation. For many years there was a constant state of war between the 27 tribes. In 593af, Makjan, the father of Naruâl, was brutally slaughtered, prompting Naruâl to begin a 25 year endeavour to change the ways of the Uryc and unite the tribes. In 618af, Naruâl succeeded. In order to keep the peace, he turned the Uryc's attention outward, begin an era of expansion which brought about the Uryc'kha Alliance and the rise of the Zycaina Empire.

The Urcy'kha Alliance formed in 637af, between Urycquan and the Khâif. Urycquan, undergoing a period of aggressive expansion, had just conquered the Faqavi. With eyes set to the east, the next nation to fall were the Khâif. However, Khâif had been embroiled in a land war with Hhalkna, after their own failed attempt to expand onto the north-eastern island of Zyraia. With pressure from both sides, Khâif proposed an alliance with Urycquan, whom they deemed stronger.

Aeghvera (pronounced ay-zhveer-ah), is an island north east of Zyraia. The island is mostly uninhabited, although abundant with life. The island is covered in lush vegetation and a variety of exotic life roam the land, drawn to an excess of magic leaking into the world.
