Chapter 87: Ultimate World Dossier

Hey guys with season 2 fast approaching (October 1st baby!) I've decided to create one monster document that details everything about Velvet Abyss, the world, the characters, the magic system,  the geography, the lore, races, gods ect.   I really hope you enjoy.

 

For now here's part 1 the principle geography of the world.

 

Part I:  Geography

Ascar:  Ascar is the setting of the story a vast and mysterious world full of war and sorrow it's the world that Mari was reincarnated into by the goddess of purgatorial reincarnation Elpheria. 

Eisen:  Eisen is an enormous continent that was once largely uninhabited by humans,  over the countless wars and dictators that have come and gone over the centuries four great powers eventually rose up dividing the continent and ushering in a fragile and easily broken harmony. 

The Four Territories

Eris Empire:  The eldest of the four territories once controlling 40% of the continent they're reach and influence has greatly been reduced over the centuries,  since the former emperor Leonhardt Grayfia the grandfather of current Emperor Soren Grayfia the empire has been a refuge for the unfortunate welcoming all foreigners who wish to call the empire their home.  

Though thanks to the propaganda of the Flanade Church and the wide spread belief that their the instigator of The Great Vapen war they're reviled by the general public of the Hyogo Kingdom and with Regulus Astrea allied with them they're reputation has been smeared in the Lancaster Alliance as well.

Dresden Kingdom:   A kingdom famous for it's natural resources beautiful landscapes and abundance of seaside resorts once known as the Verdant Kingdom they have since all but gone extinct.  With great tragedy of the Ashen Massacre and obliteration of the great city of Vallagunia the capitol of the kingdom and home to an approximate one million people. 

The kingdom has been ruled by the Octavia dynasty for a thousand years with the current Queen Anna Octavia missing in action the Kingdom was simply assimilated into the Hyogo Kingdom ceasing to exist.

Lancaster Alliance:  The smallest of the four territories and ruled with absolute authority by the four great houses they have historically remained neutral but with the betrayal of House Astrea and rumored execution of the other great houses the Lancaster alliance has been reforged into a vassal state of the Hyogo Kingdom.  With it's annexation complete Lancaster has ended it's neutrality to side with the Hyogo Kingdom

Hyogo Kingdom:  Holding the greatest military in Eisen they started the Great Vapen war almost five years ago and seem to be hunting down the Crests, comparable in size to Dresden though known more for it's wintry landscapes and dense forests.    The Kingdom is also home to the monotheistic Flanade Church which worships the goddess Nero, the royal family each harbor cataclysmic magic unique to them known as Noble Rights that grant access to almighty magic outside the realms of what should be possible. 

Their true goals and intentions are unknown though they have  demonstrated a ruthlessness and cruelty as well as the will to achieve their ambitions regardless of cost.    Being home to the Flanade church they're a hot spot for devout tourists wishing to worship at many of the alters of Nero that litter the land.

Major Cities

Eris Empire

Edelgard:  The Imperial Capitol and last stronghold of the empire it's size is equatable to Vallagunia and has a population of about eight hundred thousand,  it has the famous magus academy Lisianthus and Tantalion Palace the seat and home to the imperial family.   As well as the adventurers guild headquarters and is home to some of the most famous Adventuring Parties in Eisen such as Nox Rixia. 

Dresden Kingdom

Vallagunia:  The Verdant City was a metropolis and bustling economic hub though not the seat of the Royal Family it was scene as the greatest accomplishment and the shining jewel of the kingdom.  Now it is little more than an ash soaked tomb and a memento of the horrors of war.

Hildr Castle:  The ancestral seat of the royal family and one of the continents most impregnable fortresses.
