Ellseworld

This world is a magical one, blessed by its genesis, the world is overflowing with the arcane energies of The Weave. It is split into two major continents that are divided by a great ocean that is mostly devoid of habitable landmasses. The two continents are Ontrath and Rel'Kaoer, and each contains a number of kingdoms that are home to the people of Ellseworld. Until very recently a great storm had divided these two nations, covering the oceans that lie to either side of the land, and making travel between the two suicidal by sea or air. Recently however (approximately 150 years ago) the intense storms covering the western ocean cleared, opening the route for travel, trade and conquest. Some kingdoms of Ontrath were hungry for new lands that were not already controlled by their powerful allies in the Ontrath League, and set sail with strong winds and greedy hearts guiding them them. Wars were fought on hallowed ground, kept peaceful for millennia by the populace of Rel'Kaoer.

Aside from these two great lands there is a small number of islands that surround the landmasses and a few that were uncovered by the storm's passing. Ellseworld also has four moons, two of which have minor settlements upon them. It also is orbited by other, more hostile satellites.

Creation
It is said the world that would be Ellseworld always existed, but it only became what it is today after The Genesis. The genesis was said to be an extremely powerful spell concocted by leaders of the people who had come to Ellseworld by mistake. This spell is said to have turned the land from a barren and hostile wasteland into the rich, prosperous world that it is now.

Ages
Since The Genesis an order of Dwavern acolytes known as the Calenseers have worked to accurately note and detail all major events that occur using their aptitude meticulous work and powerful divination. They are a completely neutral force, doing as little as possible to ensure they do not influence events - except in one regard. The announcements of the Ages.

There have been many ages in the history of Ellseworld, some remembered but most forgotten by all but the Calenseers. Most recently they announced the end of the Age of Artifice, calling it to an end with the death of King Rezzult Uar’Vold of the Dwarves 10 years ago.

Uncertainty lies ahead, what will this new age be called?
