The group began by taking a few assignments from the court of Duke Aethelric of Sunnegraf, a county of the nation of Graedham in the Great Plains region. The work included:

• Retrieving an artefact from an elven ruin and subsequently slaying a malevolent spirit that was associated with it
• Investigating and slaying a twisted monster that was responsible for sheep herds being destroyed
• Investigating the murder of a local lord and uncovering a large smuggling operation, as well as safeguarding another against said operations

The party has recently been sent to the Udro Wildlands beyond the southern borders of Graedham to help with a forward operating military detachment whose primary function is to combat the large bandit organisation that turned out to be ultimately responsible for the aforementioned assassinations and smuggling. They've been aiding in the relevant guerrilla tactics, and are currently working under Lieutenant Shar, a half-orc subordinate of one Captain Garrick.

Humans: All major Human centres of population are located in their various kingdoms toward the central northern part of the continent. Culturally divided into two major geographical regions. The Plainsmen live on the Great Plains, and their largest kingdom is Graedham. The Northmen live in the Aettar, a few very large tribes across the Eirric Sea to the north, the most powerful part of the society being a coalition of four tribes in an alliance with the Drow kingdoms on the western edge of the sea. Additionally, there are significant minorities in various outlying settlements among other races.

Elves: Have several kingdoms east of the Great Plains, in the mostly sylvan country of Leuska. They have a long history of expansion based on agricultural pursuits, though recent centuries have spurred them to develop stronger militaries due to increased political disagreement. A few of the southern nations have periodic border disputes with each other, as well as their Eladrin neighbours to the southeast.

Eladrin: Their only major country is located in Sorcha, a verdant crater surrounding a massive crystal that’s variously said to be either a fallen star or simply a piece broken off from the Feywild. It borders the Elf kingdoms to their northwest. The Eladrin presence supposedly precedes sylvan Elf expansion by at least a few centuries, and they have been fighting occasional border skirmishes with them for generations.

Halflings: Somewhat widespread, ranging mostly throughout the southern expanse of the Great Plains and the various mountain that border it. They also possess a few nations east of Ashab. They also have significant centres of population in the autonomous city-state of Bleohart to the south of Graedham, and the town of Grenemeos in the southern reaches of the Hawthorn Forest.

Dwarves: Nearly everywhere. Said to originate in the tropical location of Mahuizoheztli on the southeastern expanses, their history is clearly defined by a long-standing love of building and expansion that has ensured their usefulness to nearly every nation on the continent. Many of their civilisations are so adept with magic and enchantment that their use of such has been refined to a highly complex science. Their largest nations are Tletepetontli, built along the northern border of the Sea of Fire, and the Rjodhammarung tribe in the north, which also has a significant minority of Northmen. They also have significant holds throughout Nekazar and Bal-Ajak.

Drow: Exist primarily as a single collection of nations along the western shores of the Great Plains and outlying islands of Nekatu. There's also groups of them among Dwarves in the regions of Bal-Ajak and Nekazar Their home nations possess strong naval powers out of necessity, due to having to repel the constant threat of the twisted remains of Urtau. They are often viewed with suspicion by most outsiders due to earning a ferocious reputation in combat by eradicating a number of Half-Orc tribes in their first alliance with the Northmen. Nonetheless, their proclivity for technological development, especially that of black powder and naval warfare, has secured their usefulness in nearly every nation.

Goliaths: Widely considered to be the oldest inhabitants of the continent. They have kingdoms in Hladkosin with several holds in the mountain ranges surrounding Volos Bogaz, and various scattered tribes in the Sea of Fire that have experienced significant growth in recent centuries with advanced irrigation technologies originally developed by the half-orcs. The north mountain Goliaths are sedentary and reserved with a proclivity toward the arcane arts.

Half-Orcs: They hail from various regions south of the Abi-Nilam and around the Sea of Fire, where their major kingdoms are still located. Following development of better agricultural technology and the unification of several tribes into nations under a single rule based upon a magical caste created from shamanism, they invaded several middle realms, finally being stamped out more than two centuries ago by Humans and Drow. All are reputedly experts in animal husbandry and horsemanship, and there are a number of shamanistic, semi-nomadic tribes eking out a sustainable existence in the hostile regions of Abazh-Bajan and the Ashab Badlands.

Half-elves: Do not exist as an actual race. Half-elven characters are the product human and elf parents.

Dragonborn, Tieflings, Gnomes, Shifters, Minotaurs, and Wilden do not have any real populations or history on this continent. They instead hail from a “nondescript continent” to the west across the ocean. Contact between these two continental masses has been limited due to how the ocean routes are dominated by a brutal fleet of revenants that remain from the dead empire of Urtau. However, a few individuals have been encountered, mostly amongst the Drow. Deva, Shardminds, and Githzerai are for all intents and purposes of planar origin, and are something of mythic unknowns in this world, though some do supposedly reside in aforementioned continent.

In other words, any races of terrestrial/fey origin not described as being from this continent are from the West. Beings with any otherwise planar origins are not from this world at all. You’re free to roleplay the backgrounds/homelands of any characters you make of these races, so long as they’re under these general constraints.
