Chapter 2: Koraz

The long answer starts with Koraz being a lone planet in its own little universe, larger than Earth (I waffle on how much larger) and surrounded by portals to other worlds. Over many, many years, things have spilled through these portals. With different rules of reality leaking from a million universes, Koraz has become an incredibly diverse place.

Koraz is split into something like small universes, called Realms. Mainrealm is where the actual planet and the portals to other worlds are, while the other realms are smaller. Mainrealm is the only realm that can access other universes.

Koraz has many chaotic things, but one thing it has less of than any other populated world? Death. Those who reek of unjust crimes against Life soon suffer the wrath of Life Spirits. This is enough of a deterrent that even the bloodiest wars have rather low death counts. Mind control, torture, enslavement, and other such things are considered preferable methods.

All living creatures on Koraz have a mental barrier, protecting them from mind attacks. Most don't notice this, as those that use the mental arts have evolved around it, unless they travel to other universes. When on other worlds, they find both protecting against and attacking even the strongest psychics is laughably easy.

Koraz has many moons, and is surrounded by Sunbeasts, solar creatures whose clockwork migrations create the day/night and seasonal cycles.

Koraz (Mainrealm) has two large landmasses, along with a series of archipelagos and islands. The largest landmass is Mênlend, where most species and civilization exists.

The other large landmass is Westlend. Something about the land makes Life Elementals of all sorts uncomfortable, many that there are far less of them. It is a barbaric place with little technological advancement, and far more slavery than even wartorn Mênlend.

Note: Korazian maps usually put South at the top.

Koraz is a land of magic and science, where nearly everything can and does happen. It is torn by war and held together through wonder, with dangers and marvels in equal amounts. If you aren't careful, you won't last long. If you do last? You'll discover a world unlike any other.
