Chronicles of the World of DaoTyr

There is a lot of ironic contradictions inherent in how one describes the lands of Orsolon: it is one of the newest governments in the world and also the home to some of the oldest cultures.  Many of these ancient cultures do not live in the equally ancient cities that define the land, but rather exist as nomadic societies, scraping together existance from a time, some 40,000 years ago, when AlNaybab, the once and returned king, orignally ruled.

At over 200,000 citizens, the City of Copper and Light, Fahrib, is by far the largest City in Orsolon, Daotyr’s eastern most country.

Lord Akalthus Wyjern is the returned lord of Orsolon, the kingdom of his founding. Akalthus is the dragongod Alnaybab, also the avatar of Lendys, now mortal upon the face of the Earth. 25 years ago, when Akalthus arrived, flowers bloomed in his footprints as he walked and the starving city of Fahrib became a waelthy, central hub of commerce.

The Eastern lands of Orsolon are widely varied in envrions and culture. The Dark elven tower of Anthroilt (above, left) represents a marginal society of people who have had a difficult time integrating in the pluralist nations of the surface world. The Wilderness of Gala (above, upper right) is an alien world of blistering heat and full of strange predators. Large Bolsonai (above, lower right) are employed by many nomadic peoples across the region.

The lush wilds of Gelejsa are the ancestral home of a tribe of Goliath people called the Stonewoughs.

The Desert City of Pacon is one of the oldest settlements on Daotyr and home to the Wizards in Gray, the Alityme Orders, planewalkers.

Alamoniss, the castle of glass and rain is the home of the Githzerai.

The gate of Ba’Hyde protects one of the oldest Dwarven cultures in the world. The Goblins of the Far Forests are as tall as men and as strong as apes. The men of the Amolo grasslands are ruthless and cunning warriors.

The labyrinthine cliffs of Mirataun, homelands of the Birashatec Minotaur clans. The largest minotaur peoples in the world.

The Sundown Peaks keep the inlands of Orsolon dry and protected from the weather of the sea.

Psionics, or the Powers of the Bonatian Circle,  are the original magic of Daotyr. These mental magics were lost to the peoples of the world for many thousands of years and now with the return of the dragongods, young people and old, of all races, across the globe are manifesting these huge powers. The Gray robes and the Dark elves of Orsolon are spending huge amounts of resources in the quick study of these magics and those who potentially do not understand the powers at their command.
