Our universe is like a web that connects each plane with others and all the planes was created by the Principium, an arcane object placed in the first plane.
That object created all worlds, even the one where our story begin: the "Factum", create by the hand of the four great gods:Jaswal, god of light and life; Malkridos, god of Dark and death(the keeper of souls after the death); Shian, god of the earth and Nacaltaal creator of the Aether.
They gave life to the other minor Gods, between them ther was the Traitors that became daemons and attacked their parents: Odras, Phiilim and Niro; after the war the Traitors lost and they got imprisoned in the abyss.
The world's made by 4 continents, one for cardinal spot: at north ther's the Imeria empire, they try to expand their nation with powerful armaments and his human arty, they trear other races like dogs.
At ovest there's the unknown territory where dwarves builded a giant wall to separate it from the rest of the factum, noone knows what's behind that wall.
At ovest there's the elvish reign, they treat human and other races like slave so don't go here if you don't have a good reason; at south there's koronos, an unesplored mainland where flora, fauna and a deadly ecosystem impede smart races to explore it.
