Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Makogis Isle holds all the shrines of the Gods and Goddesses and was filled with masks. Now-a-days it is hard to find any of the masks the Gods and Goddesses left for the people to care for. It is a tourist spot now but in the past it was a place of worship and where pilgrims would go when on a pilgrimage. You have to take a ferry to reach the island. There appears to be no one living on this island and strange things happen to those that try to stay overnight or at least to those who have made it to the next day. Majority of people and Makogis that stay on the island after dark tend to disappear and are never heard from again. Thus it is the rule of those running the 'main' shrine that all visitors and staff have to leave the island on the last ferry when the night bell tolls. The ferry picks up the staff at 6 am every morning so they can prepare the shrine for the day. The ferry opens to all others at 8 am and does the last run at 6 pm.

Makogis Isle is mostly in ruins save for the ‘main’ shrine since that is the one the tourists all go to. Many never venture past the shrine but it is rumored that if you do you can find some ruins representing each region. Also it is interesting to note that no one understands how many shrines exist on the Makogis Isle and how it seems to be so big, as it has been charted from the sea and is known to be a certain size. Yet still the island holds more than it is physically possible. This had once been explained that the island is home of the gods and goddesses and thus a form of heaven and knows no boundaries that we humans place on it. During the night the island is covered in a heavy fog making it impossible to sail to and may help explain why so many go missing when they stayed overnight.

((In terms for roleplaying, the island is only open for rp in the 'main' shrine during the day. The island is closed at night with anyone staying overnight disappearing so as of right now there should be no nighttime rps on Makogis Isle. Things about the island will be discovered during Meta events and may even open up different areas for rp))

Wefetsoh Alliance is the land with the most water and lies to the south. There are many forests in this area and many lakes. However this is slowly changing due to the desert in Desumawet expanding into this area as well as the fact that Desumawet has invaded and conquered a portion of land that used to be part of the Alliance.

There is only one capital city, called Fosipunti, in the Wefetsoh Alliance but the eight other large cities all have a lord that rules the city and some of the surrounding area. These lords form the Alliance this region is named after.

Fishing and hunting are the main sources of food and money besides the trade that comes in via ships at the port towns. Every year there is a huge hunting contest that the lords put on in the nearby forest. This competition used to be held in the large southern forest, name Hunestod Forest, however the location was changed after an incident that nearly killed several of the ruling lords.

Barstenor, a region to the north, is a harsh land barren of most life. Barstenor is the coldest region especially the further north you go. A couple of mountain ranges in the southern portions to the west and east form a natural barrier and boundary of the region. There are a couple of old kingdoms remaining, Corinnoth Kingdom and Norgaerl Kingdom, but they face constant threat from Desumawet. Corinnoth Kingdom is to the eastern side while Norgaerl Kingdom is the one more in the center of Barstenor and controls the flow of people to the north between the two mountain ranges.

The capital city of Corinnoth Kingdom is Udoruideth which is said to have been built upon ancient ruins. So far no one has proven this so it said to just be a founding legend to justify building the city where it is. This kingdom is ruled by an old king who had lost his sons previously. Many fear that the kingdom will fall after the king passes away as he has no heir. Others believe that the noble council will take over and place a puppet ruler in place.

The capital city of Norgaerl Kingdom is Fozaki which lies very close to a large lake that is majority of the year frozen. This kingdom is ruled by a young queen who quickly made a name for herself in repelling attempts to invade her lands from the passage way between the two mountain ranges. She is said to be a fierce but wise ruler and many in the lands of the north praise her.

Desumawet invaded the western region below the mountain range in the past and conquered the land there that was previously a third kingdom that was part of Barstenor. That kingdom fell with the conquest and it's name has been lost in the passage of time. So far Desumawet hasn't been able to get past the mountain barrier.
