Fantasy Of Glaciers and Sand [Info]

Realm Descriptions
Glacion
Glacion, a mystical frozen wonderland covered in a thin white mist.

Thousands of years ago, a great earthquake caused the landmass to split into a multitude of separate islands. Most appear to be towering icebergs, with no way to even climb them, however, there are many larger isles, which many have created settlements upon. The largest island holds the capital city, named Aeria. The Glacion Ship System, aka the GSS, is the main way of travel in Glacion.

The icy realm of Glacion is famed for the rare fish and resources found in it’s deep, frosty waters. Many races can be found here, in particular, glacial mermaids and frost ogres, along with humans, which are obviously the most common race. Most frost ogre villages are incredibly hostile, and will devour anyone within their territory. There are rumours that an akhlut has been spotted in some areas as well, which has caused most settlements to be on their guard. Overall, Glacion does not have a main religion, as many citizens believe in very diverse religions, or don’t have a religion at all.

Rolasta
Rolasta, a vast desert land with a singular, immense river flowing through it.

Most of the landmass does not have a coastline, as treacherous and towering sand dunes gather there. The capital is located right next to the river, named Kelis. All settlements are extremely close together, as they are all congested in locations close to some form of water. Despite these issues, Rolasta is a beautiful kingdom, filled with gold statues and excessive decorations.

Famed for it’s abundance of gold and silver ore, Rolasta is a wealthy realm, also known to sell dazzling decorations. Humans are again, the most common race here, however desert dwarves come in a close second. Cockatrices are growing in popularity as mounts, however camels are still currently the most used. Recently, death worms have been sighted amidst sand dunes, steadily growing closer to civilisation. Rolasta is currently facing some internal conflict, as the realm is split between two main religions, which are fighting for dominance. Lozorism(Lozorists) is the worship of the deity Esozor, the ‘Ruler of the Wind’ and Resianity(Resians) is the worship of the goddess Resna, the ‘Mother of the Sun’. Resianity has been the main religion of Rolasta for an extremely long time, however Lozorism has recently skyrocketed in popularity as an immense sandstorm recently uncovered an ancient relic depicting Esozor.

  ARC 1: The Half-Awakening
  -Small tremors occur through out Glacion and Rolasta
  -Undead creatures, with a singular, merged eye, rise to attack and devour living creatures
  -Suddenly all the creatures begin to rush towards Rolasta's center, some even crossing the ocean through the use of zombified sea creatures.
  -Realizing that this must be a bad omen, Rolasta sends a distress signal to Glacion to send as many adventurers as they can to defeat the horde.
  -After defeated the vast majority of the horde, the leftover undead creatures, including the 'dead' ones, seemingly vanish into thin air, leaving a thin wisp of energy which is absorbed into the ground.
  -Suddenly, a giant earthquake occurs, stranding the players on one side, to reveal a monstrous and ancient beast.(Human size=half of it's thumb)
  Spoiler: The Red Desert Scourge

  
  -The beast struggles to raise itself to the surface, eventually falling back down, and falling asleep once more.(The Half-Awakening)
  -Time skip to the slight future when the players are recovering from their wounds, and the bridge between both sides* of Rolasta is being built.
  -A wise man, hundreds of years old, tells them of what happened on that fateful day. The beast was an ancient creature which terrorised the lands hundreds of years ago. It was sealed underneath the once-grassy* lands of Rolasta, by an age-old* warrior. The undead were meant to sacrifice themselves to the beast, and give enough energy so that the beast could re-awaken. However, the undead were stripped of their energy by the players. So the beast could not fully awaken. However, the beast has recovered enough stamina, that within a few years, it will awaken fully. You are the heroes of this land. Please, we beg you, save us from the future. *Wise man and respected scholars bow*

  ARC 2: (Glacion-Related Event)
  -The strongest ice mage froze the waters because he wanted Glacion to be whole again, and a significant amount of the population agreed with him. However, now the mermaids are frozen beneath the surface of the ocean(He made a mistake). A large rescue mission is issued to help them, as the mage is unable to melt the ice as he is very ill from overusing his ice manipulation ability. A never-seen before ice/sea death worm, has begun making use of this opportunity, and is eating the frozen mermaids unable to move. Those with ice manipulation abilities must cave pathways to the mermaids, whilst fighting off the giant death worm.
