The World of Lutheo
Alyuan Continent
Alyuan is the home of the Genasi. Almost all of its residents are Genasi, save for a few Tieflings and Orcs. They have different biomes and climates for all the different Genasi, including in-between spaces for the mixed Genasi who don’t quite fit in any of the main biomes. It’s known for being an incredibly welcoming and peaceful continent.
Ignis Biome
The Ignis Biome is the home of the Fire Genasi. It is a mostly barren desert, with cliffs and tunnels. It’s a harsh environment, and can be dangerous for those not built for extreme heat. The main center is a volcano by the simple name of Mercy.
Aqua Biome
The Aqua Biome is the home of the Water Genasi. It is made up of the coasts and waters, with gorgeous reefs, sands, and trenches. It has very limited access, as much of it is underwater. Very little is known about it. Its main center is The Grand Azure Reef.
Ventus Biome
Terra Biome
The Terra Biome is the home of the Earth Genasi. It’s made up of forests and fields, mainly pine, maple, and birch. It’s the most temperate and neutral of the biomes, and is easy for most races to navigate. Its main center is The Wandering Grove.
The Ventus Biome is the home of the Air Genasi. It’s made up of mountains and tundras, and it’s winter-cold most of the year. It can be treacherous and challenging for some races and inexperienced adventurers, but most races, with proper gear and skill, can navigate it with little difficulty. Its main center is The Silver Canyon.
Azerek Continent
Azarek is the most inhabited continent on Lutheo. It is mainly inhabited by Elves, Humans, Half-elves, and the Aaracokra. It’s most well known for its diverse biomes, and fluctuating weather and temperatures.
Eastern Range & Kingdom
The Eastern Range and kingdom is where the Russet Aarakocra(birds of prey) reside. Their kingdom has no official name. Most refer to it simply as the Eastern Kingdom.
Dark Rumor Island
Dark Rumor Island is the home of the Drow. It is a barren island, but the Drows live in a tunnel and river system underground. They sustain themselves on different aquatic animals and plants, and remain secluded from the rest of Azarek.
Jeweled Wing Island
Iron Rose Islet
Iron Rose Islet is a small, mostly uninhabited island off the West coast of Azarek. The waters surrounding it are heavy in Iron, resulting in a reddish-orange color. Its limited population consists of Gnomes and Dwarves who mine and pan for the iron that gives the islet its beautiful waters.
Stallion’s Rise
Stallion’s Rise is the main trading hub on Azarek, with dozens upon dozens of shops, restaurants, homes, taverns, and livery yards. It’s home to many races.
Southern Port
The Southern Port where most ships dock and unload. There are trails and roads connecting the Southern Port to every town, village, and kingdom. It has a few small shops.
Jeweled Wing Island is where the Jeweled Aarakocra(birds of paradise, song birds, sea birds) live. It’s a tropical island with beautiful, rocky coasts, and treehouses where the residents reside.
Fox’s Retreat
Fox’s Retreat is a small farming village in Southern Azarek. It has a few small shops, and one or two taverns. It’s known for its hospitality and peaceful atmosphere, and is a safe haven for the less accepted races, such as Tieflings and Goblins.
Crow’s Scream Island
Crow’s Scream Island is a large, snowy island, inhabited primarily by Air Genasi, and some Elves and Humans.
Eagle’s Outpost
Eagle’s Outpost is a decently sized town in the middle of the Eastern Woods. It was formerly an outpost for guards, but has since morphed into a village of sorts. Most avoid it, as it’s best known for its strict laws, rules, and lifestyle. All outsiders receive nasty glares and suspicious looks.
Tongue and Talon Bay
Tongue and Talon bay is one of the most well known landmarks in Azarek. It’s where most ships come and go from. Legends call Tongue and Talon bay the nest of an ancient white dragon, known as Isolde.
Liomin Continent
Liomin is a barren, treacherous continent, and those that live there are incredibly well-adapted to subzero temperatures and perilous weather. It gets few visitors, as it has virtually nothing to its name, and is known as a haven for dragons. Instead of fighting said dragons, the kingdom offers them food, freshwater, and protection, in return for peace. Some dragons may even gift a family one of their eggs, if the dragon has produced more than two eggs, or has taken a liking to the family. This results in a certain amount of dragon riders in Liomin, and the dragons are seen and worshiped as a symbol of power and prosperity.
Vezar
The kingdom of Vezar is a sturdy, large kingdom. It has few shops, but the shops that are there are known for selling some of the best weaponry and armor in Lutheo. It is home primarily to Orcs, Goliaths, Dragonborn, and Dwarves.
Fang and Fire Mountain
Fang and Fire Mountain is a massive mountain range, the biggest in Luthea. It’s a haven for dragons who are there to nest and reproduce, and is said to have massive caverns of diamond beneath it, making it a hotspot for bold adventurers looking for a challenge.
The Cove
The Cove is the only source of freshwater in Triomin, and the kingdom of Vezar guards it with its life. It is where the dragons of Triomin come to drink, and sometimes, the more docile dragons will even take this opportunity to commune with the townsfolk and allow their hatchlings to play with the town’s children.
