History & The Mystic War Before the Mystic war, Aberrance was a reclusive nation with very little connection to the outside world. After the war started, their neighbor, Aetheron, used the global conflict as an excuse to invade Aberrance—believing them to be a weaker neighbor they could easily enslave. Aetheron had done this to many small nations and won, but when it came to Aberrance, they were caught completely by surprise.
Aberrance fought back and made Aetheron pay. They did well in the war, though for the most part, they only hit back when attacked, as they ultimately just wanted to be left alone. Despite this defensive stance, they ended the war with more land than the island they originally started with.
Geography & Borders
The Original Island: The foundational land of Aberrance. This area remains strictly off-limits to outsiders.
The Conquered Land: Aberrance took a large section of mainland territory from Aetheron during the war, including Aetheron's original capital city (which Aberrance took over and made its own). They share a border here with Aetheron, who still views this land as stolen.
Society & Trade After the war, Aberrance went back to being a reclusive nation, though they do engage in some trade. They are very slow to let in any outsiders. However, while the original island is forbidden, they do allow outsiders into the land they took from Aetheron.
The population is mostly human, but features a mix of other races. Notably, aberrations and psionics are known to be present here.
