Ignisia

Ignisia, the kingdom of fire, was once a place of great industry and innovation. Its people, the Ignisians, were renowned for their skill in forging weapons and tools, their mastery of metal and flame. But under Malakai's rule, Ignisia has become a twisted mockery of its former self, its factories churning out weapons of destruction, its people enslaved and brutalized.

Aquatania

Aquatania, the kingdom of water, was a place of tranquility and beauty. Its crystal-clear lakes and lush, green valleys were home to a peaceful people, skilled in fishing and agriculture. But Malakai's armies swept through Aquatania like a tidal wave, leaving nothing but ruin and despair in their wake. The once-thriving farms and fishing villages now lie abandoned, their people scattered or enslaved.

Verdantia

Verdantia, the kingdom of earth, was a place of great natural beauty, its rolling hills and lush forests teeming with life. The Verdantians were a proud and noble people, fierce warriors and skilled hunters. But even they could not withstand the might of Malakai's forces. Their cities lie in ruins, their people either killed or forced into servitude.

Shattered Expanse

The Shattered Expanse is a vast, desolate region that stretches across the northern reaches of Azarath. It was once a thriving and prosperous land, home to a vibrant mix of cultures and peoples. But centuries ago, a cataclysmic event known as the Shattering tore the land asunder, splitting it into a maze of jagged canyons, treacherous ravines, and eerie, twisted forests.
In the aftermath of the Shattering, the survivors of the Shattered Expanse were left to fend for themselves in a harsh and unforgiving landscape. Many turned to banditry and piracy, preying upon the weak and the unwary. Others retreated into the depths of the canyons, forming isolated communities that rarely interacted with the outside world But even in the midst of this chaos and despair, there were pockets of hope and resilience. Some of the survivors banded together, forming small, tight-knit communities that looked out for one another. They learned to farm the rocky soil, to hunt the strange and twisted creatures that roamed the canyons, and to build shelters from the bones of the dead.
