Thalgor

Thalgor
The world of Thalgor is a Earth-like world in a fantasy setting. The name comes from the Alfish, Thalca'gor, which meant "Fountain of Life." It consists of various continents of Avroa, Kal-Hura,Jal-Ur, which are part of one single supercontinent and various unknown continents. The world has a technolgyical level of the early 17th Century, while magic is commonplace. There are mostly polythestic religions, and almost all religions have begun in the Pious Heartlands in Jal-Ur. Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Goblins make up the most plentiful races on Thalgor. The world is warmest at its equator, were it can reach 58 degrees C (136 degrees F), and is coldest at the Northern Wastes and Southern Wastes.

The world has abudent supplies of copper, tin, and iron ore. Gold and silver are rarer, mostly found in the Goldtooth Range. Mountains are common place, and rivers are plentiful in Avroa and northern and eastern Kal-Hura. There are many civilizations, but few have stable borders. Most forests belong to the Wood Elves, who guard them zealously. The mountains are often home to either saytrs, trolls or dwarves. Humans can be found in almost every habitat, but are often contesting with races they have no alliances to. The rivers are smetimes home to nymphs, and rarely sirens.

Magic is commonplace among the High Elves, who revere the Sun. The floating city of Shaval, a ancient city founded by the Stargander Empire in -4765 RC, is a city full of magicans, mages and wizards. It is located far north, west of Greywalls, above the Starfall Crater in Avroa. Magic itself can effect the landscape, as in the Great Shaking of -121 RC. Orcs can only do shamanistc magic, and dwarves not at all. Dwarves however are masters of engineering, able to consruct golems and gears with thier gnome allies. They, with the colabration of the Engineer Order of Farwan, unlocked the secrets of flashpowder.

Thalgor is in orbit aroud the star, Sal'Grua, aslo known simply as the Sun. It has two moons,Pal'Grua the furthest and largest and Hal'Grua, the smallest but closest. The mages of Shaval are great astromaners, having accurate maps of the skies. They know of the red dust world, Algres, and volcanic, Shelt. Legend has it the mage, Harash the Bold, managed to make travel to other worlds. The existence of other worlds has become common knoledge in Thalgor.
