Chapter 3: The Mortal Realm
After the defeat in the war against the angels and demons, the Lords of Creation entered one of the pocket doors into a new dimension and created the mortal realm. Here, after several billion years of work, the Lords of Creation established a solar system with life on one of the planets there. On that planet, the Lords of Creation built several plates on the surface of the planet that would support mostly salt-water seas and oceans with some land. They created living things there- including the mortal races which are responsible for the name of the realm. The Mortal Realm is where the majority of campaigns takes place- though some characters in a campaign in the Mortal Realm may find themselves in other realms.
Arcana of the Realm
Arcana in the Mortal Realm consists of magic which the mortal races created. Any character of any race can practice any other race's magic, but books containing magic are segregated by race. Magic from the mortal races is divided into three categories: dances, songs, and spells (the latter of which included rituals). A player with character of a specific race may chose one dance from their race's list of dances to add as a free power while making their character sheet. Below are files containing the several dances, songs, and spells of the Mortal Realm.
Continents of the Realm
EIGHT CORNERS
There are eight regions of the mortal realm. The northern and southern regions mark the poles of the mortal world with lighthouses that grant access to the dwarven afterlife realms. The northwest corner consists mostly of the continent Ulinawi. The southwest corner includes half of the islands of the Ocean of Peace in the western half and the continent of Hattun in the eastern half. The northeast corner consists of the continent of Zezen-Si (a singular continent separated by the Border Mountains). The southeast corner consists of the continent of Aliaanza'nchi in the western third and the Tea Ocean in the central third, and half of the Ocean of Peace islands in the eastern third.
Ulinawi
DIPLOMACY
The native people of Ulinawi are the drow, though dwarves arrived in 3500 TA and brought human slaves with them. Deep gnomes would also develop between intermarriage of drow and dwarves during the late 3500's TA. In the northern third of the continent, drow politics revolved around small villages with clan leaders acting as the head executive and eldars serving as the legislature. In the central third of the continent, drow settlements ranged from the size of towns to cities. Chiefs were the executives of towns with a peace chief elected among the legislature of elders to serve during peacetime and war chiefs elected among the warriors to serve during times of war. In cities, high chiefs ruled and served both during peace and war. In the southern third of the continent, settlements ranged from villages to kingdoms with politics similar to the northern central drow in similar sized settlements to kings in larger nations.
Dwarves in the continent established republics where a steward (in Larrunana) or a Marshall (in Astigaraknana) gained power through the legislatures electing them to the seat for a temporary appointment. Legislatures consisted of representatives which the citizens among the nations elected to office. Each of these two large nations, smaller "counties" would have their own governments with governors leading these regions. Among the deep gnomes, warlords often overthrow elected stewards and rule via dictatorships.
After the arrival of the dwarves, dwarves moved drow from their native location to new regions- mostly in the Central Vast Plains, and the Larrunana Southwest. Nations and tribes of these peoples are listed below.

GEOGRAPHY
The drow of Ulinawi named the continent Turtle Island because the landmass resembles a large turtle with its head and left hand defining the north, its right hand making the northeast, its two legs making the central west and central east and its tail making the south. Below is a detailed description of the continent with lands inside Ulinawi in Red and lands outside of Ulinawi marked in Gray. To read this map, periods divide each quadrant into squares, semicolons divide a square vertically, and comas divide a square horizontally. (For example "Glacier; Caribou Sea. Means the northern half of the square is glacier and the southern half of the square is the Caribou Sea.)

MORTAL HISTORY
Mortals first entered Ulinawi when elves crossed the frozen Caribou Sea and Sea of the Lanced Bear during the late First Age. Those elves who settled in Ulinawi would become the drow. During the Second Age, the drow of the continent were sparsely populated and resided mostly along the coasts and major rivers of the continent. During the Third Age, drow in the southern third of the continent developed city-states that waxed and waned as climate changed. Many built large, stone cities before the arrival of the dwarves who first came to the southern third of the continent in the 3500's and colonized the region. Few drow remained in the southern third after colonization and were largely replaced by the hybrid Deep Gnome race. In the central third of the continent, drow along rivers built earthen mounds under which they lived. Those in the mountains carved cities out of cliffs and caves while those in the forests built wooden lodges. Those in the earthen mounds established vast trade networks before abandoning their cities around the 3200's in favor of living above ground in the Vast Plains. When dwarven colonists arrived in the 3600's to the region, the dwarves slowly pushed drow out of their historic lands and into small plots of land. The dwarves in this region brought human slaves with them and elven immigrants from SI began arriving in small numbers. In the northern third, drow continued their long practice of hunting and gathering from the sea. When dwarves arrived in the 3600's, the dwarves largely ignored the small bands of drow.

Hattun
DIPLOMACY
The native people of Hattun are goblins. Elves arrived during the First Age and would eventually become the goblins. During the second age, goblins lived in small villages along rivers. In the Goblin Sea, small villages of goblins emerged after mainland goblins arrived on canoes and slowly populated the region. Clan leaders ruled in the Goblin Isles in the eastern half of the sea while tribal chiefs ruled in the Goblin Islands in the western half of the sea. In the mainland, goblins in the west built large cities of stone with entrances above ground leading to vast underground networks. Kings and emperors ruled these lands. In the eastern jungles of the continent, goblins built earthen mounds above ground and lived within the forests in small city-states and tribes with kings ruling larger settlements and chiefs ruling small towns. Dwarves arrived in the 3600's TA and brought human slaves with them in vast numbers. Slaves intermarried with goblins and became the half-orcs who would become the dominant race in eastern Hattun and the Goblin Sea.
The dwarves in the region were few in number, but established an aristocracy in the continent that would allow them to rule over the more populous half-orcs in the Goblin Sea and Eastern Hattun and the goblins in Western Hattun. Native tribes of Hattun are listed below.

GEOGRAPHY
Hattun takes the rough shape of a downward facing triangle with islands and isles of the Goblin Sea dotting north of the continent. The Ulinawi Peninsula of the Fish connects to Hattun in the northwest corner of Hattun. Below is a detailed description of the continent with lands inside Hattun in Orange and lands outside of Hattun marked in Gray. To read this map, periods divide each quadrant into squares, semicolons divide a square vertically, and comas divide a square horizontally. (For example "Glacier; Caribou Sea.

MORTAL HISTORY
Mortals first arrived in Hattun during the late Third Age when elves arrived from Ulinawi. Those elves eventually became the goblins and settled the continent in small numbers. During the second age, goblins increased in numbers, living in villages along rivers. During the third age, goblins moved into the Goblin Sea and built stone cities in the western mountain region. Goblins in the forest established vast trade networks until dwarves arrived in the 3500's TA. When dwarves arrived, they brought large numbers of human slaves who often attempted to escape. Those who did found refuge among the few remaining goblins in the Goblin Sea and eastern Hattun and their intermarriage created the half-orcs.

The native peoples of Zezen are the dwarves in the west and central and the gnomes in the east. Among the dwarves large kingdoms defined the dwarves' history with theocratic kings ruling in the middle Third Age. Among the gnomes, most leadership fell on tribal chiefs with small kingdoms in the middle Third Age and a large, gnome empire forming in the late Third Age. Native tribes of Zezen are listed below.

GEOGRAPHY
Zezen is a thin continent that branches off of the larger continent of Si from the Border Mountains. A northern peninsula fish-hooks northwest then south with three southern southward-pointing peninsulas jutting into the Mediator Sea and three major islands to the west of the mainland. Below is a detailed description of the continent with lands inside Zezen in Yellow and lands outside of Zezen marked in Gray. To read this map, periods divide each quadrant into squares, semicolons divide a square vertically, and comas divide a square horizontally. (For example "Glacier; Caribou Sea. Means the northern half of the square is glacier and the southern half of the square is the Caribou Sea.)

MORTAL HISTORY
Mortals first arrived in Zezen early in the Third Age. Those mortals would become the dwarves and during the late First Age, the dwarves intermarried with elves on the border of Zezen and Si to become the gnomes. During the Second Age, dwarves and gnomes established small villages along rivers. During the Third Age, dwarven villages grew into city-states with kings and chiefs ruling over small kingdoms. Nomadic gnome tribes slowly settled into permanent settlements and formed sedentary tribes. A theocratic class developed in the continent among the two races with several powerful theocrats taking power in the Spessartitle Isles, the Central Obsidian Peninsula, and Eastern Zezen.

Aliaanza'nchi
DIPLOMACY
The native people of Aliaanza'nchi are the humans, though half-elves would arrive in the northeastern Miseer region during the Second Age and in the rest of the northern region during the Third Age- as well as halflings arriving on Farthing Island during the late Third Age and becoming the Farthings. In Western and Eastern Aliaanza'nchi, small city-states fell under the rule of kings with several dynasties of human and half-elf rulers controlling Miseer. In the rest of the continent, tribal chiefs ruled large tribes throughout the interior of the continent. During the late Third Age, dwarves colonized the continent but- with the exception of Southern Aliaanza'nchi- few dwarves settled there. Native tribes of Aliaanza'nchi are listed below.

MORTAL HISTORY
All mortal beings can trace their lineage to this continent with humans being the original race. During the First Age, humans spread across the continent in nomadic bands that grew into tribes during the Second Age. In Miseer, half-elves intermingled with humans to develop several city-states before unifying into a single kingdom. City-states emerged on the coasts of the west and east of the continent during the early Third Age with half-elves from the eastern coast of the Mediator Sea arriving in the central north. More half-elves from the Desert Peninsula arrived during the middle Third Age and dwarves arrived in the late Third Age to colonize the continent.

Si
DIPLOMACY
Si is the largest continent in the realm with three native peoples: the elves, half-elves, and fairies. Among the elves, large-scale kingdoms and empires flourished throughout the Second and Third Ages. Among the half-elves of Western Si, small kingdoms emerged with some brief empires during the Second and Third Ages- largely influenced by theocrats. Among the fairies of Southeast Si, several city-states emerged early in the Third Age. Late in the Third Age, a gnome empire expanded across northern Si. Native tribes of Si are listed below.

MORTAL HISTORY
Humans entered Si in the early Third Age and became the elves. The elves scattered across the continent and settled in river villages. During the early Second Age, those villages became major cities where in the southwest elves intermarried with humans and became the half-elves and in the southeast where they intermarried with halflings and became the fairies. Elves in the north formed nomadic tribes while half-elves in the southeast and elves in the south and east formed kingdoms and empires. In the southeast, fairies built city-states. Religion played a major factor in the lives of the elves as well as trade with the establishment of a trade network that covered Zezen, Si, and Aliaanza'nchi as well as some parts of the Ocean of Peace.

Ocean of Peace
DIPLOMACY
The native peoples of the Ocean of Peace are the halflings and the fairies. During the late First Age, elves entered the Ocean of Peace and became the halflings. Those halflings then returned to Southeast Si and intermarried with the elves to become the fairies. During the Third Age, halflings sailed to Hattun and intermarried with the goblins on the islands west of the continent to become the hobgoblins. Fairies established city-states with theocratic kings to rule over them. Halflings in island chains submitted to secular kings while those on the Great Jungle Island and Koraha remained in small tribes which clan leaders and chiefs ruled. In small atolls, clan leaders led their villages. Dwarves arrived in the 3700's TA and established nations in Koraha and the Woodland Islands with marshalls elected from landowner legislatures to lead them. Below is a list of the native tribes of the Ocean of Peace.

MORTAL HISTORY
Humans entered Si in the early Third Age and became the elves. The elves scattered across the continent and settled in river villages. During the early Second Age, those villages became major cities where in the southwest elves intermarried with humans and became the half-elves and in the southeast where they intermarried with halflings and became the fairies. Elves in the north formed nomadic tribes while half-elves in the southeast and elves in the south and east formed kingdoms and empires. In the southeast, fairies built city-states. Religion played a major factor in the lives of the elves as well as trade with the establishment of a trade network that covered Zezen, Si, and Aliaanza'nchi as well as some parts of the Ocean of Peace.
