Quick Guide to Ataland
The following quick guide is provided to explain some of the major trappings of the setting. See the guide for more detailed information.
History & Factions
800 years ago, a magical calamity destroyed the continent of Theyruse. Some survivors found and colonized Ataland, an archipelago apparently untouched by intelligent creatures, and made it their new home.
In this harsh new land the various races had to work closer together than ever before. Nearby communities with similar ideologies began to band together. New factions were forged. At first these factions only fought small skirmishes against one another. But this eventually culminated in The Great Faction War, which waged for 50 years with no clear victor. Since then Ataland has enjoyed an uneasy peace.
Peoples
Being the decedents of a whole continent, the peoples of Ataland are extremely diverse. There are 20 race categories, 8 of which are biracial. However an individual's family tree can be more complicated than a label. We have strived to make every NPC feel unique, with appearances inherited from their parents, personality quirks, inventories and much more.
Otterfolk are a new playable race for Ataland. The water-adapted Otterfolk have made their homes near lakes and coastlines.
The Pantheon
The settings Pantheon consists of 8 major gods. Each has their own followers, clerics, shrines and temples.
