Ashtar
Ashtar; the continent of Falling Ashes. It is West of Terra and is the second largest continent, split among three landmasses; Aevoba, Clartnec, and Lrewol. It was once a utopian monarchy called The Red Veil, but was later dominated by a dictator under a new party called The Black Order.
Aevoba (the upper continent) is a tundra with rigid snow-capped mountains, soft green plains abundant with flowers and clear lakes. Wildlife is abundant and the more intelligent of them are the Anima, who have dwelled there since the forming of the nation of Ashtar, two centuries.
Clartnec (beneath Aevoba) is a grassland that once had many trees and brush. Mountainous terrain encompasses the inner part of the continent. It is the capitol of Ashtar, used by both kings and a dictator, who was displeased with the "dysfunction," and created a system of districts specifically for Clartnec. There were five in all and each of them had specific locations:
Lrewol is the third continent of the nation of Ashtar. It is the largest of the three and has many different biomes within. On the Eastern part of the continent is forest and jungle. The Western part is rocky terrain and desert. The Northern part is marshland and much like an isthmus. The Southern part is plains and the center is mountainous terrain. Each place within are filled with many indigenous people. Peace and respect were between these factions under the utopian monarchy, but once the Black Order arose, the factions warred against each other, falling into the clutches of the mastermind behind the order, Vego Swellow. However, before diving into the heart of the issue, there is history to cover.

It is the capitol of Ashtar, used by both kings and a dictator, who was displeased with the "dysfunction," and created a system of districts specifically for Clartnec. There were five in all and each of them had specific locations:
- District I (Business District) - Located on the upper left of Clartnec. As the name suggest, there are many thriving companies; Markets, Taverns, Inns, Boutiques, Blacksmiths, Lumber, Masonry, etc. Some shop owners live in the district during business days and go to the Housing District when their shop is closed up for the week. (Business days run from .)
- District II (Industrial District / Farm District) - Located on the upper right of Clartnec. As the name suggest, industries produce their products here where they eventually get shipped to the Business or Harbor District. All factories are organized by their line of product. For example, everything that produces corn would be in a column and the street name would be Corn St.
- District III (Defense District) - Located on the lower left of Clartnec. This district is specifically for armed forces.
- District IV (Entertainment District) - Located on the lower right of Clartnec. As the name suggest, entertainment is the main purpose of this district; Theaters, Arts, Restaurants (said to be the finest), Museums, Parks, etc.
- District V and VI (Harbor District / Aeronautical District) - Locations for these districts are between District I and III and District II and IV. As suggested, these were the ports. Shipments from all over the globe arrive here.
Lrewol is the third continent of the nation of Ashtar. It is the largest of the three and has many different biomes within. On the Eastern part of the continent is forest and jungle. The Western part is rocky terrain and desert. The Northern part is marshland and much like an isthmus. The Southern part is plains and the center is mountainous terrain.

Long ago the nation of Ashtar was nonexistent and the continent unexplored. Everyone at the time believed that they existed between the land and sea, that if you sailed to far off the shores you would disappear. Where they came up with these theories is unknown, but it is believed that the ones who did come up with these absurd theories were the ones locking them in. The island was called Asradia, and here dwelt the Asradi, a people who would followed the conspiracies they were told. Though their name means "Those who know the Way" they were as dumb as sheep, lacking direction entirely. However, there came a time when a group of unschooled questioned the Asradi Government. How could a group not be suspicious when there were ports for sailing? The night of fall in the year of the Author 6010 Winter, they sailed away on the towns prided vessel, The Teftla. They journeyed for many days and packed very light, knowing if they were to be caught that night they would lose their chance of escape. However, Asradi people were mostly Ascendant. The Ascendant race can last on little food and drink for long periods of time and can still walk around as if they've had a hearty meal. As far as they knew they hadn't "disappeared"- whatever that meant exactly...
In the same year in spring, they sailed through the unknown, until they spotted a beach a ways away. They lowered their anchors and took the long boats until they hit a white sandy shore. They ventured inland a ways and saw that the land was fertile and good. They returned to the long boats and sailed back to the ship for some supplies and slowly brought them back to shore. Soon, they began constructing a small city where they would be free from Asradia . . . the prison that kept them captive.
Same year, around the start of Summer, they had completed most of the village. Homes, farms, forges, and many more necessities were built. They ended up having just the right amount of supplies and some more. With the twelve rebels of Asradia (including their wives and children) the population was at least forty at the time. By then they had made good friends with each other. Everyone worked well with one and other. Eventually they created roads as they wandered further inland creating more villages as they went. Though the land they had explored had been very little, they slowly expanded, finding themselves in an entirely new world. They couldn't believe how much territory there was and soon found themselves puzzled as to how they would control the land (they did not know about the Anima in the North. At the time they only knew about the lower part of the continent). Once they had explored all the land, they tried to design a system that would help them run the land efficiently. Thus began the creation of the Houses.
