Criozevan

Geography & Kingdoms

Criozevan is comprised of varied biomes, including deserts, jungles, river valleys, and underwater territories, organized into ten major polities:

• Goldhelm Kingdom (Capital: Ovodon): An isolationist, technocratic monarchy located on the northeastern peninsula, characterized by hilly terrain and light forests.

• Kingdom of Fodon (Capital: Fodon): A harsh desert and plains region in the northwest, governed by the "Dune Accord" council following a brutal civil war.

• Kingdom of Vacron (Capital: Vacron): The central crossroads and economic heart of the continent, known for strict laws and housing the Crimson Rooks headquarters.

• State of Akison (Capital: Akison): A southern nation split between a jungle mainland and a cultural island heartland, led by the Master of Martial Arts.

• Republic of Frada (Capital: Frada): A strict militaristic republic in the central-south, known for manufacturing Holo-tech weaponry.

• Nikolem Kingdom (Capital: Suudon): A mountainous realm inhabited by Golems, featuring a vast underground tunnel system.

• Warring Darkmane Realm (Unofficial Capital: Grousea): A decentralized, dense forest region inhabited by hostile tribes of Dark Elves.

• Ipadora Kingdom (Capital: Ipadora Sanctuary): An aquatic and island nation that controls the continent's major waterways and sea lanes.

• Kingdom of Iyhago (Capital: Iyhago Prime): An eastern theocracy dedicated to silence and balance, led by the Master of Magic.

• Republic of Oredsey (Capital: Oredsy/Tharnselda): A southern martial republic governed by direct democracy and ritual duels, led by the Master of Swords.

Races & Inhabitants

The population of Criozevan evolved rapidly due to the Crimson Convergence, resulting in seven distinct races:

• Folkwynd (Humans): The most widespread and culturally adaptive race, found in Vacron, Frada, Akison, and Oredsey.

• Goldhelms (Solari): Tall, golden-eyed technocrats native to Ovodon who reject magic in favor of technology.

• Darkmane Elves (Naelvari): Shadow-dwelling elves with bioluminescent eyes who inhabit the deep forests of the Darkmane Realm.

• Golems (Durakorr): Massive, rune-powered rock beings created by the Golem King, residing in the Nikolem mountains.

• Ipadoras (Tidewalkers): Humanoid octopi/squid beings who control water magic and dominate the oceans.

• Tharnex (Insectoids): A nearly extinct race of insectoid beings with hive minds, largely wiped out during the War of Fodon.

History

The Crimson Convergence (0 ACC): A red star appeared for 40 days, awakening ancient magic, creating the Golem King, and forcing rapid biological evolution.

Century of Shadows (800-900 ACC): A chaotic era marked by the Wizard Uprising and the first appearance of the Scarlet "Anton".

War of Fodon (835-870 ACC): A civil war between four districts (Bug, Magic, Death, Fire) that ended only after the Arashi member Lucifer assassinated the leaders.

The War of Masters (982-988 ACC): A massive three-way conflict between the Great Masters Sunlee, Selvarin, and Veles that split the continent.

The Equinox of Power (988 ACC): A historic peace treaty establishing the current stalemate.

Magic & Power Structure

Magic System: The population is divided by magical capability:

Runestones (45%): Channel power through items.

Metas (27.5%): Born with inherent abilities (e.g., super strength).

Malefici (27.5%): Users with volatile power, including the dangerous Scarlets (1%) and Dark Malefici.

Mages: Rare individuals capable of casting any spell without limitations.

Global Leaders: The "Three Great Masters" (Sunlee, Selvarin, Veles) are widely considered the strongest political figures, though entities like the mysterious "Fluffy" and the Crimson Knight hold higher raw power rankings.
