About universe

Please have a patience with incomplete and partial informations about this world. It's under very detailed construction since 2015.
Let me introduce you to ingame settings of World of Colderra.
It originally comes from fantasy book series Brissinge in working on - Bear's blood.
World of Colderra events are loosely based on the story of books, but worldbuild is pretty much the same and both book and game contributes to eachother.

Whole world is situated in medieval/fantasy, tho there's projected Brissinge's love for machines and science. So magic works more like having inborn ability to control physical laws rahter than literral connection to supernatural, even though supernatural and god exists in this universum. Speaking of gods... canonically there's only one god, creator of the world similar to how christianity precieves it. Canonically. Player characters can have whatever believes they consider sufficent.

 

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION....


Yorhad solar system, planets in their distance from the sun, Yorhad.


 
Andahari galaxy.
 
Let's start from outer space.
Andahari galaxy is place, where you can find solar systen of star Yorhad and planet with scene for our game. Name of planet is Cesferus (prounounced with 'k'). It has two moons, one big on Cesferus' orbit - Iat, and one small on moon's orbit - Taitu. If you wonder about other planets, we have those too.


On a map below on the left you can see how Cesferus looks like, with it's continents and oceans. In case you wonder, yes, Notrh and South, West and East are really mirrored on this planet.
Planet Cesferus fun fact: year has 324 days divided into 9 months counting 36 days each. From first to last months are: Bahnivec, Květokrás, Duhovec, Ohnipal, Sklizník, Červelist, Mlžnik, Sněhupad, Zimomráz. Names come from czech language.
 
English literal translations would be: Muddy one, Blooming beauty, Rainbow one, Burning scorching, Harvesting one, Red leaf, Foggy one, Snow fall, Cold frost. It sounds very stupid, I don't use it :D. If you get very fancy, I can provide names in language constructed specificly for the universum: Sloughia, Borsia, Agelondia, Sorria, Cefia, Haimonia, Ikaia, Rembia, Kröhia.  

 

Here's actual political map of Cesferus, with all the lands/kingdoms/empires/whatever on it. Here, check all races.

 

BRIEF CESFERAN HISTORY

Dating started 5556 years ago. These centuries and milenias are sequenced into 3 Eras.

1st era lasted from Creation untill The Great Epidemic, which was at 1996. Dragons came to the rescue to cure the epidemics.
2nd era lasted from
The Great Epidemic untill The Fire war, which caused that dragons went basically extinct, sea level rised and many places were destroyed and flooded which changed shapes of continents. Also planet got way warmer, but since then tempercures are slowly decreasing again. 2nd era ended at 4928.
3rd era begun after end of The Fire war. It's the era in which you see the world now. So current year (to REAL date of 6th January 2021) is 628/3 (628 - number of year, /3 - number of era.)
 
In 3rd era many things happened. But since everything in this game is put in relation to Kingdom of Colderra, let me pin point important dates relevant to it:
  • In 615/3 Azol'Amath (water naga empire) attacked Colderra and the war begun. 
  • In 620/3 was great Battle of Zindar (main city of Colderra). Nagas besieged Zindar for two weeks. During this time Sirrael Stormcaller and Danarion attacked (now destroyed) naga main city Servenalla and naga army had to pull back to their own land. Naga emperor Maxara'ah was killed and war oficially ended at beggining of year 621/3. It took long 6 years, to repair and heal shattered lands of Colderra and Azol'Amath. Emperor was replaced by council of Six Lords - Lord Percival, Lord Sirrael, Lord Akarin, Lady Nalja, Lord Gittana and Lady Kalisa. Colderra and reborned Azol'Amath united and live together in peace now. 
  • Few years later portal to Antharia* was opened, and Colderra made alliance pact with Norranon. *World of my friend Efirende we are tightly cooperatin
  • All these events opened golden age of Colderra, allowing international trade to bloom and provide exotic goods from foreign countries overseas. Also it let to increased curiosity in foreign countries and a lot of explorers set out to explore.


KINGDOM OF COLDERRA

It is fairly young human kingdom founded at begginning of 3rd Era as result of disintegration of much larger empire. Nature of Colderra is expandious, as they already colonized and took over few smaller countries and still are willing to do so, if there's a chance. Colderra also stands as founder of North Coldairan Alliance. 
Colderran main advantage is superiorness in manamechanics over rest of Coldairan continent and has history of extraordinary political leaders.
Speaking of extraordinary leaders, current king is Mikelon I. of the Falstir house and well...he has his quite...significant human flaws...such as arrogance and short temper. He's highly intelligent individual very well suited to lead a nation. Future king will be his firstborn son Anderevas Falstir.
Highest war general and prince (and currently outrun, cause he left Colderra through portal to Antharia) is Danarion Hammerhand Falstir. He's only one so far known to posses ability of transforming into dragon. This curse (disease or mutation) is called dragima, and dragon helped Mikelon to win war with Azol'Amath.

Why to mention these characters? Because they are Brissinge's OCs, that will repeatedly occure in ingame events.
