Gaia Is a war torn world. In the last few hundred years there has not been a time when there was not a dark power rising or when the people themselves were not at war. In many ways this is what nearly brought the end of Gaia as it was known.
Thirty years ago, the Demon Lord Chaos, erupted from a black dimension the he had been imprisoned millennia before. In tow with him was an incredible army of abyssal creatures. All of Gaia broke into conflict against the mad God and his legions for a ten year war. During the war the very face of Gaia was change forever. Whole continents were wiped form the world, sunk into the sea, or left barren and desolate of all life. Renmore was the only continent not left in total ruin, but even its face was changed forever. The home land of the Beastmen, Mangus Gigas, was wiped from existence as a way to stop their interference with Chaos' plans. Those that survived ran to the shelter of the southern Hume territory.
Marlene Alexandros, a Hume woman from Haven, In a last ditch effort against chaos barely managed to banish Chaos back to the void. With him his army too was banished, leaving only the halve demons. In order to make sure chaos remained in containment used her own blood to consecrate the grounds that the final battle happened and be entombed there so he very spirit could stand as a guard against him. An enormous monument built as an altar and a reminder of what happened there. Chaos could not be allowed to rise again.
The Halve-Demons, cursed children of the Demon's rape victims and outcast of Renmore, collected at the last fortress of the Demon King. Most only wish for a place to call home. A place without the hate and the prejudice against them. Some wish for more, for revenge against the people that out casted them, called them monsters, and took away all they held dear.
Beneath Renmore things were stirring. The drow did not take part in the Chaos war. This meant that while the world was being ravaged above them, the drow were growing and thriving. The spider queen’s ambition was coming to fruition. She had desired the surface for so long but chaos had burnt it to a crisp. She had been waiting for it to be rebuilt and for her time to wage war. Avalon has been in constant contact with the spider queen trying to keep the peace, but the spider queen Desires to finally have her and her people own the surface.
Tension is rising below the surface of what little peace is left, war is a hair's breath away, and what will happen will be decided by you.
General details
This world is strongly inspired by the final fantasy VI world. This means that the worlds industry is all run by magitech. Airships still exist however they are much less common than before the war. Sea travel has become more of a staple in trade and travel. Only the elite own an airship of their own, most are either for trade or remaining military use. Espers also exist in various forms. Many of them are crystallized after the war and a few are fully sentient acting as forces in the world. That said most summons, spells, classes, monsters, and races from any core final fantasy game are considered cannon. On top of all of that class or race that are not listed or mentioned can be requested by messaging

.As the story states, this is 20 years after the war against the ultimate darkness that was chaos. Most of the war took place on the eastern continent. This left in various levels of absolute wasteland. There is little to no civilization left on that land leaving its races and classes nearly extinct.
The remaining two continents are the mainland of Renmore and the much smaller southern continent. Renmore saw the bulk of its fight on the eastern side leaving it wholly in ruin, beyond that much of the land has recovered over the two decades. The southern continent is located just west of Renmore south of ravens nest. It has become a refuge for those who can no longer return home to the eastern continent. It is a land with little to speak of. It has been a rough existence for the refugees here. Over the last two decades a few cities have popped up and living has gotten better.
Avalon and Ravens nest are the two capitols of Renmore. In the south the queen of the beastmen rules with her council of the elves sprites and other races residing in the southern half of Renmore. In the north the council of man lives in Avalon, guiding the industrious human government. There used to be great wars between the two, but became strong allies in the war and that alliance has held strong post the war as well.
one of chaos' main forms of attack was miasma that corrupted the body and mind of those that entered it. many who fought on the front lines found themselves subject to it. most people died from its poisonous effect,some grew natural resistances, the rest went to Haven for treatment, but a few were truly changed by it. having varying effects it always causes rage issues, and a strong sensitivity to chaos' lingering forces in the world.
