Fair enough.

Speak away eh...

Come to mention it, I can't even think about what to say.

Heck, I'll describe the world then.

----------

Aluirian (where the game is set) is made up of 5 different countries. These are (in order of size):

- South Monterassat
- North Monterassat
- Ascalarth
- Iuirlas
- Jhiad

I do have individual maps of the different places but they are being touched up by Wed at the mo...I think.

Anyway, each land is different.

This is taken from a little guide to S. Monterassat (I'll upload it when I'm given the thumbs up):

Quote:
• Monterassat takes its name from two things. Firstly the Monter mountain range that stretches over 700 miles and the River Assat, Aluirian’s longest river at over 3700 miles (curves and all)! These two names combined give the land mass the name Monterassat (Monter-Assat). South Monterassat is so called because it lies south of the Monter mountain range, and North Monterassat so called because it lies north of the Monter mountain range.
• S. Monterassat is home to most of Aluirian’s magical people.
• It is also home to the most deadly of magic’s. Whilst other places are populated with the ‘friendly’ White Magic’s (healing and the like), S. Monterassat is populated by the Black Magic’s (attacks, necromancy, war wizard…the list goes on). Although the other nations of Aluirian are not strangers to these magic’s, they appear on S. Monterassat in abundance, with more mages being born each year with these harmful spells.
• Ever since the defeat of their leader Bernito the Conqueror in 1785, Full Seohl 23d., the S. Monterassatians have been very touchy about things and are quick to lash out if another nation says something they don’t like.
• The majority of people living in S. Monterassat have names that seem to belong to the Renaissance period, for example – Azrael, Bernito, Raphael, Leonardo, Michelangelo and the like.
I'm in the process of writing a little thing like the above for all the lands...so bear with me.

Another little point, about 1 in 5 of the 500 million people of S. Monterassat are magical...that's around 100 million!! It doesn't take a genius to guess why the Great Wars were: 1. Magical, 2. call the "Great" Wars.
