Luxantium
Known as the Jewel of the World, Luxantium was a nation of splendor and riches. Numerous city states thrived amid a beautiful, brooding landscape. Rolling lowlands were covered in tangled forests, and though the dangers of the Abyss were ever-present, they were held in place by heroic units of men-at-arms that allowed the people to prosper from this fertile countryside.
This flat and gentle terrain proved to be Luxantium's downfall. A vast, burning wave swept in from the sea, and there was nothing to break the tsunami as it raged across the empire. Now Luxantium exists only in the nostalgic memories of those fortunate enough to escape the cataclysm.
The Gedrosi Territories
The highlands to the west of Luxantium escaped the disaster. As the hills rise into mountains, life becomes ever more harsh. Serfs scratch a living from barren soil, while the aristocracy of the land steal the fruits of their labour.
Anyone with the power and ambition to do so can claim noble birth. This self-proclaimed elite vie against each other for dominance, but few can compare to the Gedrosi family themselves. The Gedrosi have held control for centuries, inspiring fear in peasants and nobles alike, and crushing all who oppose them.
Amon Tor
As Magna Thule has spread its influence across the sea, it has come into conflict with various other peoples. More than any other, the empire of Amon Tor stands directly opposed to Thulian life. While the faith of Acacius teaches that the land may be tamed, Amon Tor preaches that to tame the land is to leave it desolate and dead. It is said that Amon Tor worships the Abyss in the form of the Snake-God Voras, the Divine Wyrm that lurks within Kairos itself.
