The World of Allarea

Allarea is a world scarred by dragonfire, ancient magic, drowned kingdoms, frozen crowns, and the long shadows of wars that never truly ended.

The current year is 998 After the Fall. Nearly a thousand years have passed since the War of Flame and Scale shattered the world, drowned lands, twisted peoples, and left only Omnea standing largely intact beneath the protection of ancient arcane wards.

Now the old powers stir again. Magic whispers beneath ruined stone, factions rise in search of forgotten relics, and the fragile peace of Allarea begins to crack.

Lore

The Age of Ash and Renewal

In the year now marked as 0000, the War of Flame and Scale tore the world apart. Dragons and mages clashed in a storm of fire and sorcery, shattering kingdoms, drowning civilisations, and leaving whole lands burned or changed beyond recognition.

Omnea survived beneath the wards of the last Archmagi. Elsewhere, the world was forced to adapt. Lianpin became toxic and warped by wild magic. Hinssa drowned beneath rising seas. Ispyrna froze and endured. Pakarru vanished behind monstrous waters and dark rumour.
