Sunderland
A land born of myth, scarred by war, and reborn through empire.
History
Sunderland’s origins lie in the void — shaped by the Sun God Sar and Sea Goddess Sarg. From their union came the Elves, Dragons, Kenis, and Humans — their destinies forever changed after the legendary Battle of the Void.
The First Age saw the rise and fall of fledgling kingdoms: the Northern Collapse, the Eastern and Western Wars, and the fading of the pure Elves. Guilds emerged, magic spread, and fractured powers shaped a world in unrest.
Out of this chaos rose the Southern Empire. Unified by the Yagway Dynasty, it ushered in order, law, and stability — marking the Second Age: an age of rebuilding, wandering heroes, and slow peace.
Geography
North Sunderland
A cold, mountainous region once brimming with giants and ancient cities — until the great Northern Collapse turned it barren.
East Sunderland
Verdant plains, vast forests, and golden caverns. Once ruled by Elves and Dragons in harmony — now watched over by dragons alone.
West Sunderland (Tharsar Desert)
A windswept desert of shifting sands — homeland of the swift Kenis and the war-hardened Orcs.
South Sunderland
A land of renewal and command — from refuge to empire seat, the South is the heart of modern Sunderland’s power and culture.
The Meaning of Sunderland
According to ancient lore, Sunderland means “The One Where Fall.” It was named by Sar after casting a void demon to the land below. He then reshaped the broken terrain into a single continent and named it Sunderland — from sunder, meaning “fall” in the common tongue.
