Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hiast is not just another plane of existence but another world entirely. Like Earth it is divined up into continents and from there into minor kingdoms referred to as provinces. Technology, common species of inhabitants, socialistic and cultural rules and values all depends on where you are as many provinces have differing views on how ones life should be lived. War between provinces is not uncommon but there is a general sense of contentment with life for most citizens of the world. War , peace and rebellion are simply a part of normal life.

It's practically impossible to list the many different systems of faith, and magic that can be found in Hiast. Some are more prominent than others and some are secretive while others cheerfully attempt to gain new followers or practitioners. Both systems of faith and magic comes with many rules though and anyone joining one of either should be careful to make sure they understand them before making the commitment.

To someone from Earth Hiast is a crazy fantasy land where airships aren't uncommon but they have to share the sky with dragons. Elves and Centaurs live side by side and there's more than a few pirate Captains that could pass for Davy Jones ala pirates of the Caribbean.

In some places all species intermingle and co-habitate fine, in others there is strict species segregation, regardless it is also best to watch your step and try and be respectful to those around you.
