Setting
Provided here is a brief rundown of the nations of Memorium Tempestatis, as well as the major bodies of water. This is also the place to find maps, both of the known world, an the city grids.
Nations of the Known World
Avanne: Roughly analogous to medieval France before the Albigensian Crusades, during the time of Eleanor of Aquitaine and the Courts of Love. Avanne stands at the center of the conflict between the dominant and conservative Orienite faith, which worships only the god Orien and considers the practice of magic blackest heresy, and the newer Vesperan faith, which worships the god Orien as well as the goddess Occasa and trains a part of its priesthood in the magic arts.
Castana: Analogous to Spain during the time of the Moorish occupation, it is under the control of their Lumite conquerors, who have brought a new era of enlightenment and prosperity to the region, as well as their own faith -- the teachings of the prophet Lumah, a former Vesperan priest cast out for loss of faith.
Kuredin: NPC Nation. It is a desert nation south of the Creare Sea loosely based on North African and Arab culture during the early medieval period. The eastern and western regions of the country are ruled by the Sultan while the central desert is still controlled by the many native warlord-led tribes. What ties these two different people together is their strong devotion to the Lumite faith.
Vicena: NPC Nation. This nation, loosely based on the Byzantine Empire had once been a grand Empire, controlling a vast majority of the known world. But no single power can last forever and over time the might of the Vicenan Empire has crumbled. It is the center of the Orienite faith and still controls the Holy Isle, where it is believed life was first created by the god and goddess.
Bodies of Water
Creare Sea: It is the sea at the center of this portion of the world, with Vicena to the east, Avanne to the north, Castana to the west and Kuredin to the south. It is also where the Holy Isle can be found. Loosely translated its name means "The Sea of Creation."
Elixi Sea: This is the sea to the east of Vicena and Kuredin. Loosely translated its name means "The Sea that Shines."
Oceanus Opicum: The great ocean west of Kuredin and Castana, it is mostly unexplored. Loosely translated its name means "Ocean of Shadows" for its dark and imposing waters.
