Nalthia, Land of the Gun and the Sword

It is said that each Realm is a sphere nestled gently upon one great spear, and that the only reason why some magics are similar between Realms is because of this.  One of the best theories made by the people is the fact that the higher the world is upon the great spear, the more technologically advance the world truly is.

If Naltha is amongst those spears, it would be just above the center, above the technology of just the sword but far too below the worlds that no longer need steel.

It is the rule of the Sword, and the Gun recently created amongst the world.  A World of Sorcery as well as Alchemy.....though due to the new technologies of the world, there are too many great flaws that come with it.

In came the gun, a weapon that's lethal against some but weak against others, and with it came the value of science, and the horrors that soon came with it.

For soon as technology took the world, so did the era of the Chimera, the Golem, and, through the life of a man that called himself 'the Great Alchemist', came the most horrible, unnatural creatures of all creation....Homunculus.

Four were known, and four helped destroy the world once, leaving it in ruins.  Now, a hundred years later, much of the world was rebuilt with a hatred for those who are Homunculus. 

The world was once a massive jungle with cities placed in it...though after the mess a hundred years ago, it now is more than that.  It carries Badlands in many areas, a massive desert where the elven capital city once stood, and even mountains where there wasn't before.  By the Homunculus, the world has become more than just a single jungle land....but many people would not say making the world diverse is acceptable.

Much of the known civilizations of this land are the great city/states, ruled by kings that hold alliances with each other as quickly as a snap of a finger.  Many City/States are human, though some Elven cities are known, a few Orc Encampments, and even a few Goblin Tunnels can be found.  The Great Deep has a few Drow Kingdoms as well.

The world remains chaotic...both with the threat of the Homunculus returning...as well as the races not being able to work together...

....Welcome to Naltha
