Faria

''This article is a breakdown article to narrow down the basics. More information will come as needed.''

Faria is a planet in a galaxy many lightyears away from Earth. It is a sparsely populated planet, as while there are many sentient species, the settlements they live in are very spread out from one another and separated by miles of untamed wilderness. The numerous predator/prey relationships between Faria's wildlife and sentient species alike tends to keep the population relatively lower than that found on Earth.

Basic World Information
Faria is a developing world with lots of resemblance to fantasy settings in most places. The world as a whole has little grasp on electronics and technology, but due to the arrival of humans has received a sudden jumpstart which all species are adapting to, or resisting against, in one way or another, but the world has been changing due to this sudden introduction of advanced technology. The pinnacle of technological prowess is found in The Warren where the setting takes on futuristic/cyberpunk themes, which is a theme found in the technology available in Faria but found rarely in the Outer Lands.

There is a single large sun, Akoelia and two moons, Duulasa and Yuushii. There are of course many distant stars that have inspired constellations in the minds of Faria's inhabitants. Constellations are often inspired by the religious beliefs the lyres and legendary tales of the capres, but some species have their own interpretations.

Magic is a present force found in Faria as an energy that comes from certain living beings functioning as a conduit by proximity rather than from the ground or air itself. Magic has largely faded with the disappearance of the titans, the most powerful conduit species. The only surviving conduit races are the capres and deceivers, they aren't numerous or powerful enough to refuel the world with magic by themselves.

Faria is too little developed to have much in the way of fleshed out borders forming countries and territories beyond towns and cities self-governed and protected by their own residents. Instead there are continents and islands that neighbour or are considered territory of each continent. Each continent and many islands have small towns/settlements, most continents have a single large city as its capitol.

The continents are:


 * Andor
 * Malina
 * Nowe
 * Reistein
 * Sphraga

There are three primary oceans on Faria, these are:


 * Nyb Sea
 * Kauth Ocean
 * Monster's Drink

While the map shown here is a fairly complete map, within the context of the world setting there is no complete world map that has been created to date. This doesn't mean none have tried, but in a world as untamed as Faria, accurate mapping is a very difficult and dangerous venture that many have their lives cut short by pursuing. Most maps in Faria are very partial, under-detailed, inaccurate, lost in the vast wilderness or missing things other maps have. In spite of the dangers of the world, some devote their lives to perhaps being the one to create Faria's first complete world map.

When those who have died depart from the living realm, they will find themselves in the flipside Realm of The Wisps, where those who have died will turn into a wisp spreading the life energy of Faria around the world in a delicate cycle until they are ready to reincarnate and be born again in a new form, with no memory of their past life. Rare anomalies in the division between the two realms will sometimes cause wisps to be seen by mortals along with glimpses of the afterlife.

Sentient Species
There are many sentient species that live (or once lived) on the surface of Faria, species that were once not part of Faria but have integrated with native life and alien life known only to a small few.

Currency
Much of the world operates on a mixture of trade in evenly matched goods or the use of a currency intended for smaller purchases known as reigels. Reigels are an accepted form of currency across Faria, with the exception of The Warren which only accepts the use of credits. Reigels may be exchanged in The Warren to the current value of credits, but credits cannot be exchanged outside of The Warren due to them being a virtual currency.
