Avȳs

Legends and Lore takes place entirely within the world of Avȳs, which has no continents, because I am lazy. Avȳs is comprised of 9 sovereign states and various species, and has naturally occurring supernatural elements.

Etymology
The term "Avȳs" comes from a fusion of the ancient Eldish term "Avar", meaning "life" and the ancient Zhavori "Vȳsa", meaning "all that is". While both words were used in the ancient days to refer to the world at large, Avar comes from the Eldari religion, being the term that their God supposedly spoke to bring the world into existence, while Vȳsa, is more philosophical in origin, referring to what simply is rather than what or who created it. Avȳs, meanwhile, has simply come to mean "the world".

Inhabitants may be referred to as "Avȳrans", though no one within the world uses that.

History
Avȳs has a semi-recorded history of over 10 000 years. There exist conflicting records, as well as religious histories maintained by the various faiths littered throughout Avȳs.

Geography
Avȳs has wildly different depending on where you go. North and south poles seem to have no affect on where the tundras are.

Demographics
Humans utterly dominate the landscape of Avȳs, though at one time they heavily competed with the Eldar, who, over time, have been nearly isolated within Vessavana.

Peraran
mean the "half-kings", are those of half or less Eldaran blood, amongst humans, they're simply referred to as "half-bloods", or "half-elf"/"half-human". Peraran is generally despised by part-Eldarans as the term itself is intended as an insult.

Politics
Avȳs is largely dominated by monarchies and oligarchies comprised of individuals of noble birth or wealthy stature. With the exception of the Eldar realm, and the anointing of a royal sovereign religious bodies do not themselves control any one nation.
