Dev Ejderha
(The Great Continent)
Once a single mass until Aurynel and Erebryn vanished, this continent was split into four distinct parts that drifted far and wide.
Dev Ejderha has five major oceans, namely: Celestial Ocean, Sunmoon Ocean, Creators Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Southern Ocean.
Landmarks
Draigana
(The Northern Continent)
The northern continent of Draigana, divided into seven realms and collectively known as the Seven Kingdom, and stands as the smallest of the four continents. Before its shattering, this sacred ground held the very heart of the world—the ancient capital of the dragonkind, Dŷn Bythol, named in honor of the Great Continent itself.
Here lay the cradle of dragon civilization, the dawn of their prosperity, hailed across the world of Dev Ejderha by countless names whispered in awe: the City of a Thousand Years, the City of the Endless, and more.
These are the chronicles of a magnificent domain forged by the primordial race blessed with elemental power. That glorious epoch remains etched forever in the annals of all sentient races, a golden age remaining unforgotten despite the relentless passage of time.
Now shattered, the land now known as Draigana became a theater of endless wars, where blood soaked the soil for dominion and land.
Yet, within its borders, the Leader of the dragonkind and the members of Elder Preservers made their home. Their ties with the other clans scattered across the world remained unbroken—until the conclusion of the First Dark War. When that cataclysm ended, the fragile thread binding the remaining clans across the planet was severed, leaving this continent entirely isolated from the rest of the world.
It remained cut off for ages, until Monarch, the current Leader of the Dragonkind, finally reforged those bonds of communication, uniting them once more to march forward together toward a shared future.
War tore through the fractured soil of Draigana, claiming countless lives across two cataclysmic eras: the Species Wars and the Dark Wars.
In the wake of this bloodshed, devastation left nearly every race crippled, pushing the once-proud dragon to the brink of extinction within these borders—leaving a mere three survivors in existence. Seizing this desperate hour, cunning humanity rose in rebellion. While the other exhausted races lacked the strength to fight back, mankind seized half the continent.
Thus was born the Alagaëa Empire, a sweeping coalition representing every race on the continent—save for humanity itself. Its vast, formidable dominion encompasses the majestic Lunia Mountains, the primordial expanse of the Jura Forest, the Eastern Sea, and the great islands scattered across its waters, crowning it as the largest sovereign superpower across the entire continent.
The remaining half of Draigana is divided among six mortal kingdoms built by humanity: Sunduq, Ajagar, Katif, Atera, Tergum, and Barriga.
Oriental
(The Eastern Continent)
The eastern continent of Oriental, when it separated from Dev Ejderha, was the largest of the four. However, it later fractured further due to the shifting of tectonic plates on the surface of Drage, splitting into four parts.
The two furthest parts sank very deep to the bottom of the sea—although not every part of the cracked landmass sank, and those two regions later became the dragon kingdoms of Ozean and Kusini.
Meanwhile, the other two pieces remained closer to each other, and currently house as many as 24 large and small nations. Together with the two dragon kingdoms, Oriental has a total of 26 nations.
This is perhaps home to the largest concentration of species from the order Dragonilibia, they have since dispersed and settled across the entire continent.
This was also the first place to be consumed by darkness and subjected to Erebryn's control for a long period, before they broke free from those wicked puppet strings and returned to a temporary peace, prior to plunging into various minor and major conflicts with one another, as well as future wars against the darkness and world wars.
Ozean is regarded as a major power in Oriental and has almost always been an ally to most nations since Tiberius cooperated with Zhinai to push back the darkness and bring victory to the continent.
Since then, the two sides have become close allies, and both countries are clearly recognized by other nations for their neutral policy.
This has allowed Draigana in general—and Alagaëa in particular—to hold a strong voice and significant influence within Oriental by becoming allies with both.
Afuera
(The Western Continent)
The western continent of Afuera is the third largest of the four when separated from Dev Ejderha, located to the lower left of Oriental when looking at the map.
Like Meridionali, the lower part of this continent lies just above the vast south pole, with sixteen nations and the highest recorded human population.
The dragonkind have almost never chosen to live here because there are far too many humans, though a few do exist in very small numbers.
This place is where the scale of wealth and poverty always leans entirely to one side, where the wheel of power has never been broken despite laws existing and evolving over thousands of years of history. Afuera suffered heavily from the hand of Erebryn, and here the servants of darkness are more numerous than anywhere else.
Consequently, they received a great deal of assistance, which allowed their magic to develop further than in Meridionali—their direct competitor, now that Oriental has grown too powerful and completely broken free from the puppet strings of the Lord of Darkness.
Meridionali
(The Southern Continent)
The southern continent of Meridionali is the second largest of the four when separated from Dev Ejderha, located to the lower right of Oriental when looking at the map.
Like Afuera, the lower part of this continent lies just above the vast south pole, with thirteen nations as well as being dominated by a large number of Fädynol, Tengryph, and a few other species such as Cymmadfall and Baeddnol, while the dragonkind account for only a small fraction there.
This place is most famous for its airforce combat as well as specializing in training warriors, assassins, and the like to sell to places in need of this special human resource. This is perhaps where racial discrimination is at its heaviest in the world, and slavery is treated as an ordinary way of life here.
