For the majority of human existence, the people of Roera lived beneath a single sun and two moons. The twin moons caused constant tidal waves on the periphery of all known land masses, making coasts largely uninhabitable and ocean travel impossible until recently. When the second moon disappeared from the sky, the coasts of the outer ocean were suddenly habitable and civilization has sprung up quickly there.

In the center of the continent is a giant endorheic ocean. Called the "Inner Sea," this massive body of saltwater was much less affected by the twin moons, allowing the continent some access to marine resources and to develop rudimentary sailing technology. All coasts of the Inner Sea are called the "Unified Coast."

The Council is the government of Roera, composed of a representative from each province. It operates on principles of equity and inclusivity. Every province, regardless of its size or military power, has an equal say in the discussions and decisions made within the chamber. Each province's appointed representatives, regardless of their title, are entitled to a seat and voice at the Council. Any culture can be found in areas of every province, but some cultures have ancestral homelands where they are more commonly found. Hover over the map below (on desktop) to view the provinces:

• Vak’nir (VAHK-neer)

• Kennaret (KEHN-ah-ret)

• Niretsyn (Neer- ET-sin)

• Etsentor (et-sen-TOR)

• Sontorill (SAWN-tor-ill)

• Torilee (torih-LEE)

• Ryliva (rye-LEE-va)

• Lyvakin (lye-VAK-in)

• The Unified Coast (area around Inner Sea)

The Council formed the three Factions, specifically for the mission of exploring the Eternal Lands. Although some Factions had historical ties to previous factions or groups on the Roera, they have been born anew to accomplish this goal.
