The World

The World in Lies Sworn To Fifteen Moons.png

In the east lies Yxtiren, the largest of the three continents and home to the fifteen kingdoms that still worship the fifteen gods of the fifteen moons. Its people speak Yxkepi, the ancient speech.

​

In the west lie two continents: Dorumdem in the north and Wuldrak in the south. Their people speak mostly Thurwen, the Cold Tongue.

​

Yet not everyone in the west has turned away from the old gods. Some have kept their faith in secret, and in hidden places, they still speak Yxkepi.

  1. Imelmar — Matriarchal Bloodline (they praise the goddess of life and fertility)

  2. Parelmar — Farmers and Livestock

  3. Nalormar — Fishermen and Shipbuilders

  4. Lisormar — Scholars, Keepers of Knowledge, and Scribes

  5. Koromar — Architects and Stone Lords

  6. Kirsamar — Glassmakers

  7. Ardilmar — Gold Miners (the wealthiest)

  8. Morsalmar — Coal Miners

  9. Tiralmar — Bankers

  10. Ilsormar — Jewelers

  11. Sevarmar — Horse Lords

  12. Melormar — Singers and Dancers, also the Silk Lords who control the finest silk and luxury clothing

  13. Kaldasmar — Desert Lords

  14. Sazulmar — Spice Lords, masters of healing plants, medicine, and poison

  15. Kalizanmar — Dragon Riders (the second wealthiest), with Oroxa as its capital

The Fifteen Kingdoms of Yxtiren and Their Trades

The fifteen kingdoms of Yxtiren are ordered by the cycle of life.

 

Life begins with mothers, then grows and flourishes, slowly fades, and at last returns to where it came from.

In Yxtiren, this ending is not something to fear.

It is simply the Returning, the final turn of the cycle before it begins again.

That is why Imelmar, the kingdom of mothers, comes first, and Kalizanmar, the kingdom of dragon riders, comes last.

The dragon riders stand at the Returning, the close of the cycle and the bridge to its beginning.
