Azoa

The Continent of Azoa

The continent of Azoa is one of the larger land masses on Aurea. Further north than Aurelia, it is a cold, inhospitable land for the most part, with an extended and heavy cold season. The season for growing food is short, relying heavily on hunting and...other means of acquiring food.

There are also an impressive number of natural resources present. A large amount of rare an unusual metals can be found and mined, and extensive evergreen forests can be found across the landmass. Noqual crystals, especially, are very common, and several unusual devices that utilitize the material are common.

After an incident killed the previous king and queen a few years ago, Magic was banned, leading to the already advanced technology of Azoa to leap forward significantly. As a result many basic aspects that one would expect to see magic used for are instead run with technology, including heating, transport and weaponry. However, only those of Azlant origin can use these things, limiting how much damage Azoa's enemies can cause with it.

Despite it's anti-magic policies, Azoa was steeped in magic for centuries, and it shows. Unusual creatures such as Displacer Beasts and Mimics still haunt less populated areas, with an unusual variant of Humanoid Mimic an especially lethal problem for travellers to encounter.
