Everland is the core of the Material Plane, featuring most of the prominent mortal races and a large number of nations. Previously dominated by Quenian elves, they have been in constant decline over the last few hundred years, and in their place, humans, orcs and Sindair vie for their legacy. Due to its generally civilised nature (in parts at least), its stability and its temperate climate, Everland is an important world. Within its cities and nations, most inhabitants are blissfully ignorant of even the dangers that lurk in the hinterlands. As much as the kings, emperors and rulers of these lands may wish otherwise, monsters and evil beings hide in the unexplored corners, seeking to carve out their own destiny. Only the constant vigilance of bold adventurers and far-sighted rulers keep the dangers at bay. Everland is split into two continents; Weston and Easton. Weston is the centre of human civilisation, and most of the human nations can be found here. The coasts are relatively well populated, but the centre is a barren wasteland still full of dangers. Easton is far more cosmopolitan, with almost all species having their own nations there. Like Weston, parts are civilised and urban, but others are still wild and full of opportunities for adventure.
