General

Brain child of Jay T. (discord: teaquoffee)

Given life by the dreams of a weakend divine entity. The inhabitants of this land hold a mysterious energy. Isolated from the Edari Continent the Mavros Guild is the latest group to make an appearance on this Contient, after the Helical Express weaved the leylines together revealing the newest route available to Mavros Adventurers.

---

A small island continent to the far East of Edari inspired by Asian Mythology, this Otherland takes advantage of the Leylines and Helical Rail System to graft itself to the pre-existing world of Edari. The existence of the continent was previously unknown to the nations of Edari as it took awhile for the magical energy of the Leylines to solidify due to its distance from Edari. Fuyakiru is made up of two small land masses with an archipelago off the coast to the east of the larger landmass. A majority of Fuyakirians believe that a mortal, Shen Li, obtained a moment of enlightenment of his martial dao when he realized there were realms beyond his realm’s current highest peak. He ascended forming the foundation of his Internal Universe. Creating the world they live in. In actuallity, Fuyakiru formed alongside the continent of Edari and became the isolated continent it is today. Unlike Edari, the environment on Fuyakiru was hostile and uninhabitable; this changed as a fragment of Adyn interfered and changed the fate of this continent. After the Century War Adyn was weakened. To recover her strength she broke herself into multiple pieces and sent them away to different locations. One of these is Fuyakiru, The fragment made it one of her dedicated resting places, allowing her to slowly recover her energy and form, sometimes spending some power to shape and form the continent, eventually populating it as well. The Fuyakirans locally call this piece of Adyn, The Neru, the slumberer who would awaken to breathe life into Fuyakiru. Over time as The Neru restored her strength, the population of Fuyakiru exploded and grew exponentially, as many different sects and organizations popped up and came into power. The technology of Fuyakiru is primitive compared to some of the major cities and countries of Edari. Different cities and states rely on the numerous flowing rivers and varying geography to thrive, consolidate power, and to protect themselves from the beast tide. A dark moment in Fuyakiru’s history where the Beast King roused his subjects against the people of Fujikura reaping destruction and havoc. It was only when the First Immortal, the strongest cultivator sacrificed himself taking the Beast King's life with him. After the fall of the leaders of both sides, representatives from both the Fuyakirians and the Divine Beasts wrote a treaty and the continent has been in a lull of peace ever since.

The Imperials

Located: Yujing

The government in Fuyakiru, or The Imperials watch overlook the entirety of Fuyakiru, maintaining the peace between sects and being the bureaucratic faction for the common people protecting villages and trading caravans from bandits and raiders. A cultivator cannot overcome sheer numbers, so the basis behind The Imperials’ strength is based on the sheer number of soldiers and powerful cultivator generals that serve the Imperial Family.
