AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey guys, this isn't the first chapter, but more like a guide to the world of Allansar, where this entire installment will be taking place. The races and countries can get very confusing, so I devised this list to help you keep track with everything. If I add new species or creature or anything else, I'll add it on here, and I'll update regularly. Enjoy!
THE WORLD OF ALLANSAR
-888-
ALLANSAR: Allansarians are pretty much our worlds Britons with Renaissance culture and a 19th to 20th century British language. Most of the buildings, ships, and clothes mentioned in this story will be of Renaissance culture, except if they are described differently. The Allansarians worship a mixture of Greek and Norse gods. Magic is a separate order, where almost all of the Magicians are men. Magic is used in ever day life in Allansar, for example, the flying ships are magically fueled. Purple eyes are native to Allansar, especially royalty. Allansar is a vast empire under a monarch who practices absolute rule. The second person in command under the Emperor is the Master Magician. He is the authority over the Islands of Magic, and the Emperor's main adviser. Military power is also very important to Allansarians, and is the reason Allansar is such a powerful empire.
L'ANKVA: Equivalent to our world's Africa. L'ankava is the largest country in Allansar, but was one of the first to be conquered by Allansar. All of the people of L'ankva have the same dark brown skin of our world's Africa, and the people are divided up into many different tribes with different languages and different religions. The L'ankvakans had been under the control of Allansar for centuries, slavery being one of the forms of control. Many L'ankvakans had been sold into slavery, and many families were destroyed, while most tribes dissolved completely. The people of L'ankva are struggling to unite and form a united front against Allansarian opposition.
SONGMARE: Songmare is the only country that had not yet been conquered by Allansar. It is the land of the Elves, a magical race that are said to be the first race on the planet, born of the gods themselves. They are immortal, and have powerful magical powers, much more ancient and powerful than the Magicians. They all have pointed ears, characteristic to the race. They are a spiritual people who become one with nature. Songmare is governed by a monarchy, position of king always passed down to the eldest son. That only happened every 10,000 years, though.
ISLANDS OF MAGIC (THE ISLES): The Island of Magic are where the Magicians study and prefect their art. Young boys who show skill in the Order are immediately sent to the Isles at as young an age as six. There, they stay for the rest of their life and lead a reserved, almost monk like life, studying the Order and finding new and better ways to grow closer to the gods. There are many ancient secrets being held on the Isles that almost never get out. Almost.
SHORSH: Shorsh is pretty much our world's India, only much smaller. Some of the tribes of L'ankva left their home during the Invasion, and took up refuge in an unpopulated stretch of land out in the middle of the Western Ocean. There, they grew and expanded into their own race and culture. The people of Shorsh don't play a great role in this story, and are only mentioned.
THE UNCHARTED LAND OF THE LEOPARDS: Exactly that, the uncharted land of the leopards. Those who actually survive the unmarked territory say that large black leopards who can talk in habit the island. But, those are just rumors :).
