Millions of years ago, during the formation of the planet, a massive asteroid struck Primoria. This asteroid carried an unknown compound which, upon impact, fused with heavier elements deep within the planet’s crust. Over countless aeons, this compound slowly broke down, seeping into the soil and waterways of the world.
As it spread, the substance altered the natural balance of Primoria, giving rise to magical springs, ley-rich regions, and areas of heightened arcane energy. These magical waters became fundamental to life on the planet. Species that evolved in their presence developed the ability to harness magic naturally, and in rare cases, certain beings gained the capacity to commune directly with the gods themselves.
This event is regarded by scholars as the true beginning of magic on Primoria, shaping its civilizations, conflicts, and belief systems ever since.
Primoria is divided into two primary continents: Flanion and Cerus. While both play significant roles in the world’s history, they differ greatly in size, geography, and political complexity.
Flanion is the larger of the two continents and contains the greatest number of nations. Its lands stretch from the ice-covered northern reaches down through fertile plains, forests, and coastal regions. The continent’s vast size has allowed for diverse cultures, climates, and political powers to emerge and coexist.
Cerus is the second continent and is considerably narrower than Flanion. It is defined by a distinctive north-to-south layout, with six countries stacked almost directly on top of one another. This compressed geography creates sharp transitions in climate, culture, and power, making Cerus a continent of frequent tension and strategic importance.
The planet is further shaped by its bodies of water, which serve as major trade routes, natural borders, and sources of conflict. There are four major seas, along with numerous bays and coastal waters, each influencing the development of nearby civilizations.
