Long ago, in the times before the three great kingdoms and the fall of the fourth, there was no magic within the world. But in a single day, Five Towers that each represented the basic elements of life emerged from the earth in various parts of Bael and suddenly magic was born into this world. The first many years were cataclysmic as various tribes vied to master this new power before others to use it as a weapon of war. Many people died in those days but what came from it were the first archmages, who discovered a great wisdom with this great power. Under them, they gathered up the others who were able to use the magics and built a great city around an even greater academy-and thus the second age of Bael began. In this age, there rose four great kingdoms that lived in peace with each other. These kingdoms were satisfied with their own territories and did not covet the lands that the other kingdoms controlled. But then the first of the fallen mages discovered the darker arts of spellcraft and allowed this shadowy knowledge to corrupt them. They were shunned from the academy and fled to the fourth kingdom where they would corrupt the leaders therein. War broke loose soon after as the fourth kingdom, now playing puppets to these dark wizards, and an age of steel and bloodshed began. As the fourth kingdom fell and retreated back into itself, a third age began-one of fear and contempt for magic....


The Lands of Bael is a continental archipelago, meaning that the continents of this world are separated only be a short span of sea that keeps them otherwise very closely knit together. These continents range from small to rather large in their sizes and play home to a wide variety of creatures and species that insofar have managed to live in relative peace with each other save for the war began by the fourth kingdom. Each continent is ruled over predominantly by one of the four kingdoms though there are area where tribal lifestyles still supersede any sort of more organized civilization. Following is a description of each continent and its ruling party.

The Continent of Argosh, Kingdom of The Alexios Dynasty
Argosh is perhaps the largest of the four continents and also one the most verdant within all of Bael. It is a land of great forests and vast lush plains that seem to never suffer from drought or decay. The people here are especially peaceful as The Alexios Dynasty has always been entirely satisfied with the land that they control and generally let the tribes that share their continent with them live without complaint. Its cities are few and far between as to not harm the environment around them and the land is speckled with many farms as produce and livestock is Argosh's primary export. The capitol city of Alexiosander is more or less a grand marketplace where few people who are not shop-owners actually live that surrounds a mighty marble obelisk that acts as the home to the ruling family of Argosh.
The Continent of Zimmera, Kingdom of Shard
Zimmera is a very tropical climate, warm and humid but yet lush all the same where many exotic trees and fruits flourish near the shores. The people here live as islanders would, surviving off of the waters around this smaller continent where fish are plentiful and as such, most of towns and cities here are near the shores. The kingdom of Shard is more of a counsel of various tribal leaders who have banded together to better their commerce and trade with the rest of the world. they do not have a true capitol city but rather meet in predetermined locations to discuss the future of their continent. Zimmera's primary export is exotic fruits and fish.
The Continent of Ra'an, Kingdom of Baltha
Ra'an is a land of deserts as far as the eye can see, speckled sparsely with various small oasis where the land tends to be exceptionally fertile and where many farming communities have flourished around. The lands themselves are very rich with minerals such as metals and precious gems and as such, mining is a very lucrative business here. Its cities have sprout up wherever there is large veins of ore or gem and the capitol city, Glitterholm, exists at the very center of the continent to make for easy travel from any of the other cities into this one. Its main export is metals and gems while it keeps anything its farms grow for itself rather than share with the rest of the world.
The Continent of Sabur, Kingdom of The Four
Sabur is a wasteland where little grows, its lands destroyed by dark magics and violent wars that have plagued it ever since the first fallen arrived on this continent and conquered its leaders. There are no cities or villages here, only one great stronghold where all of its citizens live as slaves to The Four Mages that rule over it with iron-fists. This land has no export and it is a great mystery as to how anyone here manages to survive as it does not import from the other continents.
