Anomella is the Region to the Northwest, it is roughly 2200 miles from top to bottom, and roughly the same distance from west to east (Roughly the distance from Greenville, South Carolina, USA, to Las Vegas, Nevada, USA). Anomella has been divided into eight sections, or Baronies, each controlled by one Aberrant Lord, these are Disorientation, Deceit, Hunger, Abandonment, Anger, Loss, Fear, and Madness. The whole of Anomella has been corrupted to some degree, and the little civilization remaining has carved out a place in the hostile environment. The only place where there is constant peace of mind is Renth, where a magical field blocks all Aberrant influence inside its borders.<br> | |||
Anomella is attuned to the Tones of Contradynation (Abjuration), Mending (Regeneration), and Geneomancy (Conjuration), and thus is associated with the vices of Fear, Sloth, and Avoidance, as well as the virtues of Equanimity, Courage, and Moderation. It is the origin of [[Lead Dragon|Lead]], [[Quartz Dragon|Quartz]], and [[Gnetophyte Dragon|Gnetophyte Dragons]], as well as [[Plumbite|Plumbites]], [[Vespoid|Vespoids]], and [[Phrenian|Phrenians]].<br> | |||
Anomella was originally called Efforella, but then, around the [TIMEFRAME], an Aberrant Cataclysm took hold of the region, originating from where the Tower of Madness now stands. This scoured and corrupted the landscape, and scattered much of its population, and the name shifted to Anomella. Some traditionalists and especially ancient Dragons do still refer to Anomella as Eforella, but the majority population in Drakomere refers to it as Anomella.<br> | |||
Eventually an expedition, commissioned by the Academy, was sent to Anomella to try to retake it. Three members of this commission, Garrick Stormbreaker, Stauris Stormbreaker, Nordrolin Flaskhand. These three played a crucial role in establishing a magical field around the city of Renth that uses ambient Resonance in the air to support itself, protecting the city from Aberrant influence. Apart from Renth, the entire Region is under constant Aberrant attack, pressure, and influence. | |||
==== Climate ==== | ==== Climate ==== | ||
Anomella lies roughly from the 50º to 60º lines of latitude. Most of Anomella's climate has been altered and fine tuned by the Aberrant Lords, making it colder and harsher. The highest temperature found in Anomella outside of Renth is 40º F, and the coldest being -40 F. The temperature tends to remain similar throughout the whole continent, getting slightly warmer towards the southern part of the continent, and slightly colder towards the north. The whole climate has been formed to create the most inhospitable environment possible for non-aberrations. | |||
==== Population and Distribution ==== | ==== Population and Distribution ==== | ||
The Origin | The Origin Ancestries of Anomella are the [[Plumbite]], the [[Vespoid]], and the [[Phrenian]], however most of the Phrenian population has since migrated to other parts of Drakomere. There are seven major players in the geopolitics of Anomella.<br> | ||
==== | [[Zerrqa]] and [[Zhrrq]] are both Vespoid nations. They were originally unified, but during the Aberrant Cataclysm, they were forced to split. Now, as tenuous allies with shifting ideals and priorities, they try to cling to their quickly dissolving ancestral ties as they seem to move in opposite ideological and political directions. Zerrqa seeks political progress, moving away from the traditional form of Queensrule, while Zhrrq white-knuckles the ancient ways, with a new line of Queens.<br> | ||
The Nations in the | [[Kálòo-òo]] and [[Nāekà-á]] are both Plumbite nations, Nāekà-á originally being a colony of Kálòo-òo, using the Cataclys, as opportunity to separate itself, gaining sovereignty. They both use fishing and the minimal farming possible on Anomella as a major export, primarily to Zerrqa and Zhrrq respectively. They are rivals in this, trying to secure more trade and a more favorable arrangement for the other. Nāekà-á however is the far more greedy of the two and is beset by a two-front war, one is with Kalakwaela, where they act as the aggressor, influenced by the Aberrant Cultist secret society plaguing their nation. The other front is from Efforella's Bulwark, a daughter organization from the original commission to retake Anomella. The Bulwarks mission is to wipe out Abberations and Aberrant influenced individuals. These acts do often involve them occupying Nāekà-án cities by force, and executing civilians suspected to be influenced.<br> | ||
[[Kalakwaela]] is a coalition of Phrenian city-states, they do not have much of a central government or legislation, but occasionally, the cities rulers hold a convention where they discuss subtle, nationwide legislation. They are especially beset by Aberrations, as Phrenian are deemed specifically as targets by them. The city-states, acting as isolated monasteries produce some of the greatest scholars in Drakomere, and they hire these scholars out as their primary export. This does leave their military weak and with little central organization, so their army primarily consists of levied forces from Kálòo-òo, and a few of their own Mages.<br> | |||
[[Efforella's Bulwark]] is more of an organization than a nation, with encampments along the southeastern parts of Anomella. They strike out against Aberrations, attempting to root out the infestation permanently, but they have had limited success in the past. Some of the more zealous members strike northward into Nāekà-á, occupying its cities temporarily and executing any Aberrant influenced citizens. These actions are frowned upon by the majority of the Bulwark, but have been yet to be fully banned, as several cities have been saved by this grisly practice. The Bulwark is very closely allied with Renth, and uses it as a staging ground, training camp, resupplying stop, and safe haven. Renth fully supports the mission of the Bulwark, but does disapprove of their hostile actions towards Nāekà-á.<br> | |||
[[Renth]] is a single, massive city in the southeastern part of Anomella. It is surrounded by a magical protective barrier that shields it from any Aberrations. It is the only place in Anomella deemed fully safe, though this statement is not entirely accurate. They often act as a neutral arbiter in disagreements among the nations in Anomella, though due to their support of Efforella's Bulwark, Nāekà-á and Zhrrq have started to distrust their impartiality they once claimed. Renth is constantly under siege by Aberrations, albeit mostly benignly, but also by certain bestial Dragons, specifically Khorovern. As a result of this the Renthian guard is extremely well trained, and constantly striking out against potential threats to the Renthian populace. | |||
