Sencardia: "The Sky-World" - Airships sailing across beautiful sun-soaked skies, floating lands hovering high above large white clouds that expand across the atmosphere, and gorgeous birds flying throughout the heavens are all things once could use to describe Sencardia. It is a delightful scene with flowers and trees abundant scattered across the landscape for the most part. Many parts of the world can be considered fertile and are capable of growing a diversity of crops and other plants.
Sencardia has a level of technology akin to the early Renaissance era. The cultures and arts of the various countries are also more sophisticated than your average middle-ages setting. Sculptures and intricate paintings are a staple of the arts here with a large focus on literature. A high portion of the population is capable of reading and writing complex thoughts and stories. The sciences are picking up momentum in popularity and progress while medicine is more effective at combating diseases and injuries than ever before.
This isn't to say that there aren't dire issues at hand, however. Wars are growing more common due to a combination of political, religious, and economic issues. The prominent ideologies of the 3 main religions conflict with one another regularly. And most worryingly, the "plague" has resurfaced in a handful of areas once more.

Spoiler[Far Cloud City]SpoilerThe large and prosperous capital city in the nation of Ientania. The many looming structures here are mainly constructed from green and gray slate materials. It is ruled over by a Prince at the moment after the recent death of the Queen. Fights often break out between the older nobility and the nouveau rich due to recent cultural changes which strain the guards' abilities to maintain order.
Venreth: "The World Below" - The ruins of a previously grand empire that influence the many cultures of Sencardia rest here. Three known continents with a diversity of ecosystems exist down here, all conquered by the empire. Unfortunately for the previous denizens of this world, a plague nearly wiped out all of humanity. A privileged few escaped when an ingenious faction of engineers and sorcerers created the famous air-ship, allowing them to escape to Sencardia. All that remains is the long-ruined classical architecture, a group of brutal humans known as the Yarmaran, and the vast host of undead, sentient and mindless both. Also, a dangerously large roaming demigod patrols the surface world, attacking anyone it feels is a threat. This is Venreth.
For those skilled and cunning enough there is much treasure to be had. Artifacts, coins, gems, maps, weapons, armor, clothing, art, you name it. It's high risk, high reward.

Spoiler[Ferdand]
SpoilerThe largest active port in Venreth. It is located on the Western coast and is where most ships dock when visiting this world. Plague Hunters are in charge of protecting it from external threats, infected travelers and undead alike. While it's not as nice as most of the ports in Sencardia, it is the best one a sailor will find down on the surface world.
[Umalar]
SpoilerThis was one of the most famous religious centers of the old empire. Now ruined and overrun with the undead, this place has become one of the more dangerous places in the ruins of the old world. Many scholars hire escorts to aid them in recovering lost tomes and artifacts of the old world for study and preservation. Most of them don't survive.
*This isn't a privately locked thread and as such people are welcome to join in and create new characters or introduce pre-existing ones. However, I'd like you to send me a pm before doing so.
I.E. if you plan on creating a god-like character I'll need to know because that affects the back-story of the world. Or if you say they are from country X, I would have to add that place to the canonical history of it. Try to fit your characters into the pre-existing lore (which admittedly isn't that much) instead of just saying that you're some sort of eldritch abomination that destroyed half the world at one point. This is of course irrelevant if said characters come from the Nexus.
