| [hr] | |
| CONTINENTS: | |
| Voraorite has nine natural continents and two man-made | |
| continents, for a total of eleven continents. Out of these, four | |
| are sky continents. Years listed are Newerth years, not | |
| Voraoritan years. | |
| [list] | |
| [li]Axroa (natural continent) | |
| A continent with three nations, though it used to have seven. | |
| Zeroni, Xavios and Quirne are the current nations; Quirne | |
| consists of Qurya, Ireona, Nouram and Einw�r.[/li] | |
| [li]Beau'Czar (natural continent) | |
| A continent with three nations, Vernisio, Treito and Unundenari. | |
| The continent is where the first Voraoritan calendar was | |
| created, consisting of two hundred fifty-five days in a year. It | |
| is also where the first car was invented on the planet.[/li] | |
| [li]Karjiu (natural sky continent) | |
| A sky continent of some kind, with four nations. Perayosi has a | |
| large brick wall surrounding the borders, with cannons firing | |
| bricks at enemies. Zaruqua is famed for its school of archery; | |
| archers from this nation have an impossibly good aim. Xrow (the | |
| "X" is pronounced like a "sch" sound) is renowned for its school | |
| of swordsmanship. However, in the center of the continent is a | |
| rather miniscule nation that people don't even know exist | |
| (usually), named We'izga'sen, where a magical gate can be found | |
| that contains teleporters to other planets - inhabitable, or | |
| otherwise.[/li] | |
| [li]Occylit (natural continent) | |
| A continent that has five nations: Shisukai, Aiharuto, Bellarai, | |
| Cherisaro and Karos. In 2016, Shisukai was attacked by the | |
| Eclumbri, who had used a chemical weapon; while the exact count | |
| is unknown, there are few survivors. A mysterious ring was | |
| enshrined here, but stolen by a mysterious sociopath who is | |
| currently undocumented in Voraorite's keno book. The Flesh Zone | |
| is found in Shisukai.[/li] | |
| [li]Qu�sor�ra (natural sky continent) | |
| A sky continent with three nations. Kamika was the nation where | |
| chemical weapons were first invented; however, its ruler | |
| attempted to have such things banished from Voraorite (and was | |
| unsuccessful despite trying for at least seventy-seven years and | |
| seven weeks). Byoroa was the nation that first named the | |
| continents in the old Voraoritan tongue. Vor'Ite was the first | |
| nation to wage war with another nation, in the year 123.[/li] | |
| [li]Rhudesi� (man-made continent) | |
| A man-made continent that had four nations in the past: | |
| Eclumbria, Abcdea, Blomeria and Sanctuisa. However, in 1996, the | |
| Eclumbri (plural unchanged) conquered the continent, renaming it | |
| to Eclumbria. They wage war with the other nations of the world, | |
| planning to conquer the world. They use chemical, biological, | |
| radiological and nuclear weapons.[/li] | |
| [li]Ryn (natural continent) | |
| The smallest continent of the planet, with two nations: Rynas | |
| and Jeyro. The continent is so small that there's only one city | |
| per nation. A large desert lies in the center of the | |
| island.[/li] | |
| [li]Skaithundar (madman-made sky continent) | |
| A floating continent created by a madman, with only two nations, | |
| Jirm'ay'ne and Rivroa. These nations combined form a formidable | |
| foe capable of fighting even Eclumbria to a standstill. Not bad | |
| for a continent whose nations are mostly pacifists.[/li] | |
| [li]Ukimara (natural continent) | |
| A continent that has had six nations in the past, before | |
| Eclumbria conquered most of it in 2002. The five nations, now | |
| belonging to Eclumbria, were Diora, Furiayu, Helaios, Luminoa | |
| and Mortrevia. The last nation that has not yet been captured is | |
| the nation of Oxairjam, whose mightiest wizards and witches put | |
| up a magical barrier to prevent anyone from entering or exiting� | |
| with one weakness known thus far. Those who are permitted to | |
| enter, however, have been given a spell that lets the caster | |
| (and only the caster) teleport into the nation. Sadly, those who | |
| possess anti-magic are unaffected by the barrier, so they can | |
| just walk through it without being knocked back fifty feet, but | |
| the Corpse Combat Corps stationed around the barrier makes short | |
| work of them. Oxairjamese people are legally allowed to become | |
| undead, provided they sign a special document that permits it | |
| after death; necromancers who illegally raise corpses are | |
| punished with death by life-draining magic, or being burned at | |
| the stakes. (With steaks.)[/li] | |
| [li]Yukronay (natural sky continent) | |
| A floating continent with five nations: Confla, Aquario, Quakra, | |
| Gaeliun and Voltiar. The inventors of airships on this planet | |
| are from the Gaeliun nation. The five nations use shinobi and | |
| kunoichi in war, usually equipped with state-of-the-art gear. | |
| Although the nations aren't allied with each other, they are | |
| allied with Shisukai, and in an emergency, the five nations will | |
| team up, no matter how reluctantly, to protect their allies of | |
| Shisukai.[/li] | |
| [li]Za'Shi'Ro (natural continent) | |
| A continent with four nations, known as Yozario, Tsukishi, | |
| Arocha and Aquostruphy. The rulers of each nation are always | |
| named "Yoshiro" or "Yoshirō" (Yozario), "Tsukiko" | |
| (Tsukishi), "Aaron" (Arocha) and "Apostrophe" (Aquostruphy), for | |
| some reason. The Voraoritan tongue is also used sometimes, with | |
| names like "Yo'Shi'Ro"; this continent is currently the only | |
| nation left that still uses the Voraoritan tongue as official | |
| languages within their nations.[/li] | |
| [/list]More info might be added at a later time~ | |
| [hr] | |
| KENO BOOKS: | |
| Keno books are books that contain a list of wanted criminals, | |
| along with a bounty. Created in 1563, licensed ashigaru, ninja, | |
| rōnin, samurai and sōhei in addition to high-ranking | |
| witches and wizards, bounty hunters and royal soldiers, are | |
| allowed to attack and capture these criminals. The bounty is | |
| generally halved if the criminal is killed, though exceptions - | |
| such as the psychotic serial killer Xeirio Quelziroro - do | |
| exist. | |
| (For the curious: Xeirio's bounty was equal to about 20� billion | |
| yen, and was the highest bounty in the planet's history. Xeirio | |
| had killed so many people that he was soon wanted "completely | |
| and undeniably dead" rather than "dead or alive".) | |
| [hr] | |
| CURRENCY: | |
| Each nation has its own currency; as there are numerous nations, | |
| this thread will not detail the currencies. However, according | |
| to world-renowned economist Sa'Di'Roth, "a global currency is | |
| being introduced to make trade easier between nations with | |
| differing currencies". | |
| [hr]VORAORITAN LANGUAGES: | |
| The ancient Voraoritan language, used centuries ago, is referred | |
| to as the "Voraoritan tongue". The language consists of words | |
| with apostrophes in them, something that can be seen in names | |
| like "Za'Shi'Ro" ("za's" meaning "sun" and "hi'ro" meaning | |
| "righteous") or "Ri'Seh'Ak" ("ri'se" meaning "maiden" and "h'ak" | |
| meaning "kind"). "Yo's" means "son". "Beau'c" means "chronicle" | |
| while "zar" means "sever". "We'i" means "white", "ga's" means | |
| "sky". "Z" is used similar to the "-s" suffix of English words, | |
| being in plural (so "ri'sez" would be "maidens"), while "en" is | |
| used similar to the "-ed" suffix of English. | |
| In names, the first letter at the start of the name and after an | |
| apostrophe are capitalized. Similar to English, sentences always | |
| start with the first letter of a word being capitalized; | |
| however, the letters following an apostrophe are not similarly | |
| capitalized. When pronounced, each syllable is pronounced | |
| separately, where possible. | |
| In 1829, the Voraoritan language fell out of use and English and | |
| other languages began to take their place. Currently, the | |
| nations of Aquostruphy, Arocha, Tsukishi and Yozario are the | |
| only ones that still uses the language. | |
| [hr] | |
| MYTHOLOGY: | |
| Voraoritan mythology states that a mysterious ring with evil | |
| powers was enshrined in the nation of Shisukai. This ring is | |
| said to grant the wearer the ability to command Tia and Mat, | |
| daughters of the vile Iquaroxan phoenix Marshussu, with Tia and | |
| Mat's markings appearing around the eyes. Tia and Mat were said | |
| to have attacked, only to be sealed away by a single 7-year old | |
| boy named Ri'Char'Dio Blom. Ri'Char'Dio's ancestors were tasked | |
| with guarding this shrine. In 2016, Kousendia Blom (age 13) was | |
| supposed to be guarding it, but for unknown reasons, she did | |
| not. | |
