#world *** ![[Ascelia.png]] The world of Ascelia, comprised of seven countries. Due to the presence of [[Aumtra]], it is not possible to obtain all of the historical records from each country, and traveling between areas is difficult without [[TASS]] or freelance mercenaries. > [!infobox |wfull] > | Country | Birth | Official Language | Nationality | Element | > |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| > | [[Erdem \|Lost Kingdom of Erdem]] | [[Aroa Kubo]] | [[Erdia]] | Erdemian | [[Binder Element \|Time]] | > | [[Jian \|Jianese Federation]] | [[Cheng Hu]] | Jia | Jianese | [[Core Element\|Earth]] | > | [[Windsor \|Windsor Confederation]] | [[Ivo Wilder]] | Windso | Windsorian | [[Core Element\|Water]] | > | [[Guiomar \|Guiomar Brotherhood]] | [[Estela Robles]] | Guio | Guiomarian | [[Core Element\|Fire]] | > | [[Hira \|Divine Grand Duchy of Hira]] | [[Lavanya Mishra]] | Hiran | Hiranian | [[Core Element\|Air]] | > | [[Maram \|Commune of Maram]] | [[Shai Khalid]] | Mara | Maramian | [[Dual Element\|Light]] | > | [[Valya \|Tribes of Valya]] | [[Arseni Medved]] | Valyan | Valyanese | [[Dual Element\|Dark]] | ### Events > [!timeline | t-l] [[Birth of Ascelia]] > [!timeline | t-r] [[Creation of Aumtra]] ### Foreign Travelers Because there are other dimensions present, it is not uncommon for other creatures to travel into Ascelia. These creatures travel into Ascelia solely through the [[Binder Element]], however they are unable to return back home due to the changes that [[Dakota Agnusdei]] set up. The [[Tirpis]] have issued a worldwide warning to all native Ascelians, and frequently remind the people about these foreign travelers (the exact blurb has been provided below for reference). ***Due to the various magical energies present, it is not uncommon for other beings to travel into Ascelia. Please be mindful of the following:*** - [ ] ***For native Ascelians, we do not know where these foreign travelers come from. Cultural and regional differences will always abound, as well as language barriers. Avoid any hostile confrontations with these beings for your safety.*** - [ ] ***[[Aumtra]] is a highly contagious entity to society and these travelers; our goal is to avoid spreading this world-ending substance to others. Should a traveler be afflicted with the [[Aumtratic Curse]], they are not to be returned to their world and should be dealt with within Ascelia to avoid other worlds from needlessly getting destroyed.*** - [ ] ***These foreign travelers have come into Ascelia via unknown means. If you see any foreign travelers behaving in a suspicious manner, please notify the local authorities or any nearby [[Tirpis]] for your safety ([[TASS]] has provided all local, state, and national entities with the necessary tools needed to resolve matters in an amicable manner). All efforts to return these travelers back to their home world is of upmost priority.*** ### Notes - [ ] The etymology of Ascelia is made up, but is supposed to mean "crystal flower". This ties directly with the deity [[Mother Ascelia]]. - [ ] The warning provided by [[TASS]] is primarily helpful, however lies were weaved into the statement to prevent social disorder and mortal despair. - [ ] All otherworldly creatures can show up in Ascelia through the [[Binder Element]], thus [[TASS]] is aware of the connection. Foreign travelers are either slain on sight or feasted on by the [[Tirpis]] to replenish their magical reserves. - [ ] The [[Aumtratic Patron]] is exempted from this edict, since he supposedly has the capability to rewrite and revoke [[Aumtra]] from Ascelia. Keeping him alive as best as possible is to the benefit of everyone in Ascelia. - [ ] There is no way to leave Ascelia except through the [[Crystal Gate]]. And without the [[Elemental Crystal]] of Time and [[Dakota Agnusdei]], everyone in Ascelia is rendered a captive.
