Arcanis: The World of Shattered Empires


Created by Paradigm Conepts, the world of Arcanis is a place of Shattered Empires. Most of the campaign takes place on the continent of Onara. The planet has two moons, Aperio and Vvirdis, which have a monthly lunar cycle.In the ages past the world was controlled by the Ss'ressen, a race of serpent people who constructed genetically engineered the Ellorii from the elements (elves). The dwarves were once giants that were cursed by Illir for failing to protect mankind.. Gnomes are considered the offspring of humans and dwarves. Lastly the Assimar and Tiefling are found her as well (Val and Dark-kin respectively).


Eventually, the the serpent empire of Ssethregore was shattered. Humans from the east traveled to the new lands and grew numerous and founded their First Imperium. Eventually this great empire shatterede in the human nations of Coryani (like Western Rome), Canceri, Milandir (Holy Roman Empire), Altheri, and Ymandragore.  An oriental group of human founded the Khitani Empire far to the west. Myrantian Hemogeny (egypt) also exist to the south.

As far the deities of this world, the Ss'ressen gods once controlled much of the world. Then Illir came and brought with him the Pantheon with him. The upset the natural order of things, they destroyed the elemental patrons of the Ellorii and brought with them the God Wars. With it came the creation of the dark-kin and soon a host of demons was set to invade Onara. However the gods intervened and trapped them far to the north. Other deities exist as well, but have had little contact with the rest of Onara. The Khitani and Myrantians have there own pantheon, which has not been fully explored.  


It is note worthy to mention, that the Freeport exsist here as well.
