Orr

Orr's gears keep above the tides a clockwork world where secrets hide.

The Island of Orr is both an island and sovereign nation floating by some mechanical means off the coast of Asgellion. This mechanized marvel was once the pinnacle of scientific ingenuity. Its history is veiled in both awe and tragedy, leaving behind a tapestry of forgotten knowledge and unanswered questions.

History

In the Age of Creation, Orr flourished as a haven for brilliant scientists and inventors. Its people spoke the precise and powerful language of Old Ornac, which held the very essence of truth and cosmic understanding. Through this language, Orr's inhabitants crafted awe-inspiring structures and breathtaking inventions. Centuries ahead of the technological advancements of the rest of the world, The Orrish Majesterium shut itself off from outside influence, determined to keep its knowledge secret from what it considered incompetent and nefarious minds outside. The Majesterium banned anyone from creating a written form of Ornac and began to restrict trade to the bare essentials needed to continue the work of the inventors. Fewer and fewer people came and went from the Isle until no one came and went at all.
For centuries, Orr remained a forbidden enigma until an intrepid Sandori merchant vessel attempted to make contact. They had hoped for an exclusive trade deal but instead found the island abandoned. The clockwork city they discovered was a marvel of intricate machinery and advanced technologies beyond the comprehension of most The Limae. Drawn by the allure of forgotten knowledge, dwarves, gnomes, and goblins came to the island as prospectors, seeking the secrets it held. Thus began the era of New Ornac, a creole language borne from the diverse cultures that explored the forgotten realm.

Inhabitants

A home to skilled scientists, tinkerers, and alchemists, Orr's inhabitants are masters of invention and innovation. Whether dwarven, gnomish, or goblin, these pioneers shared a common pursuit of knowledge. The tragic disappearance of the original population left the island bereft of its creators, and the newcomers became stewards of a legacy they continue struggle to comprehend.

Technology

Orr's landscape brims with awe-inspiring machinery and ingenious contraptions. From towering clockwork spires that reach for the sky to intricate automatons that still hum with life, the island's technological marvels are a testament to the prowess of its erstwhile inhabitants. Visitors to Orr find themselves bewildered by the wonders that lie within, for every corner holds an enigma yet to be unraveled.

Legacy and Mystery

The Island of Orr is as much a relic of a lost era as it is a glimpse at a radically different future, where a mythic language once held the keys to the cosmos. Today, much of the islands features remains entirely or only partially understood, beckoning explorers with its mysterious allure. The past of Orr is preserved only in echoes housed within ineffable machines, while the people who have repopulated the island continue to embrace the its legacy, treading amidst the forgotten inventions of their predecessors. Much of the island's history remains a riddle, awaiting the intrepid souls who dare to unravel its secrets and uncover the truth of the past.
