Athis

Athis (Pronounced “A-this”) is a parallel dimension to ours, where magic exists. This world is currently taking place in the 1660s. This was when piracy was extremely popular in the Carribean Islands. Britain has started to settle in, and the Carribeans are beginning to be under threat. A century and ½ ago, the “mythical” races, that is, any race other than human (Vessen), began to hide; as they were being discriminated by the quickly civilizing humans. For example, the Goliaths have hidden into the Alps and Eastern mountains. The Wood Elves hid deep in the Northern American woods. The drow went deep into underground tunnels. The magic of this world is drawn from the equator and the prime meridian. The closer you are to one, the greater the magical power. At the Eastern intersection of the lines, lays an island that no human traveler goes to in fear of the noises coming from it. However, this is the hammer clangs of the dwarves forging extremely powerful magical items. On the other side of the world, lays another island, that nobody has ever found. This is because this island was cloaked by the Elves, they also forge powerful items there. In the two mid-sections of the magic intersections, there are two magical barriers, stopping the two points from combining. If an intersection base is destroyed a barrier goes down. If both barriers go down, the power will be unleashed creating an unstoppable surge of energy. When this happens, physical corruption of the Earth begins, splitting it in two. There are 5 stages of physical corruption. The skies began to darken and the air smells of mold and decay. The seas become rough and the water becomes acidic and undrinkable, quickly eroding structures and land. The Earth begins to tremble, causing massive tsunamis and earthquakes. The Earth begins to crack and becomes extremely, increasingly hot. (Only at the Equator) Molten lava begins to seep into the Earth and the Earth shakes more abruptly.
