Ümbria (OOm-BREE-uh). The world contains 4 main continents plus the Northern and Southern Wastes which are the polar ice caps of the planet. Ümbria is an ancient world with many secrets, peoples, and stories lost to time. The mortal races of the world (Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, etc.) worship the pantheon of gods for special boons and powers, usually known as Miracles, that can only be given by said gods to those they deem worthy of notice. Magic is seperate from Miracles in that Magic can be used by anyone so long as they know/know how to speak the proper words relating to the specific spell they are wanting to cast. The gods and goddesses of this universe watch over the mortal races with differing emotions ranging from curiosity, to compassion, to distain. Over the years the mortal races have created great civilizations and caused even greater disasters with both leaving lasting effects on the generations to come. Everything created and destroyed, everyone born and dead, has led up to present days in Ümbria known as The Mortal Age, an age of endless possibilities for good and evil alike.
