Azaveyr, the Land of Fables, is a continent of Lore. It lies to west of the Land of Dragons, separated from it by Pasgur Ocean. The known parts of Azaveyr are divided into three regions: The Shapeless Empire, Tkaanie and Volkenraand.
History[]
Long ago, the Shapeless Empire was founded, a human theocracy under their artificial godhead, the Shapeless, and ruled by the Magesterium, an assembly of mages.
The continent was once home to dragons, who at first had forged a pact with the humans. After an event that the humans called a "betrayal" by the dragons, a long and gruesome war was fought, in which the dragons raided and destroyed settlements that they had previously sworn to protect. Among the combatants was Voyna, the "Angel of Azaveyr". Eventually, the dragons were driven out of Azaveyr and the continent was claimed by the victors.
The Empire also fought wars with Volkenraand, leaving Tkaanie between them as the battleground. While the two countries have not been seriously fighting for centuries, tensions remain.
Geography[]
Azaveyr is shaped like a dragon's wing and claws and possesses a long coastline towards Pasgur Ocean, while also stretching into northern waters. The claw-shaped northern parts of the continent are covered in ice, while the central parts have a temperate climate. Two major mountain-ranges extend throughout the land: The Bald Mountains in the west of the Shapeless Empire and a large range of tall, sharp mountains in the south that form Volkenraand and are said to extend beyond the cloud's edge.
Nature[]
Azaveyr is known for its silvered, white barked trees, which do not grow in the Land of Dragons.
