Ordrul

Ordrul, a planet of unparalleled fantasy and boundless mystery, unfolds its secrets across its five remarkable continents: Antigama, Lemotion, Feran, Wuotar, and Mardenia. Once, it was a united world, where people of diverse cultures and lands thrived in harmony, but all that changed with the cataclysmic event known as the "Split."
Ordrul, a world forever marked by the Split , stands as a testament to the enduring power of magic, destiny, and the inexorable connection between its inhabitants. It is a place where the partial gods' absence has given rise to a world of incredible wonder and variety, where mortals wield the threads of the weave to shape their own destinies in a realm of fantasy and mystery.

The Catastrophic Separation Effect of the Split

The world of Ordrul underwent a dramatic transformation when the "Split " occurred. A cataclysmic event of immense magnitude, the cut tore through the very fabric of the planet, cleaving it into the five distinct continents we know today. This event not only physically separated the continents but also severed the connection between the divine on the different continents. The cut forever altered the course of history, reshaping the destiny of Ordrul's inhabitants.

Gods in the Spectral Plane

The mortals are so meager beeings that the gods (see Pantheon) live on an entire different plane of existence. They still try to influence the mortal world but a restricted by the influences of the Split .

The Weave of Destiny and Magic

A unique and mystical force known as "the weave" became central to the lives of Ordrul's inhabitants (see  Ji, Ti and the weave). The weave is an intricate, invisible tapestry that binds the world together, connecting every being to one another and to the fabric of reality itself. It is through the weave that individuals can harness the power of magic to influence the world, manipulating the threads of destiny and shaping reality according to their desires.

Entangled in Destiny

In Ordrul, the concept of destiny takes on profound significance. People are entangled in a complex web of interwoven fates, where their actions ripple through the weave, affecting not only their own lives but also the lives of others (see Catalysator). Every choice, every spell cast, every alliance forged, and every conflict waged reverberates through this intricate network of destiny, creating a world where every individual's path is inextricably linked to the broader tapestry of Ordrul's fate.

The gods Jornul and Cilia preside over this tumultuous land, locked in an eternal battle for the hearts and souls of Feran's inhabitants. Ferosh, with its radiant spires and noble knights, stands as a beacon of hope, while the foreboding planes of Arno are plagued by darkness, where demons and horrors dwell.
