The Thundering Mustelid
The world of Kalendural
A massive world 8x the size of earth which revolves around a binary star system, has 3 moons, and with a 50/50 land to water ratio. Kalendural has every imaginable biome from desserts and tundra's to forests and mountains and everything in between. Incredibly powerful weather phenomena fueled by ambient magic in the air alter the landscape so that only the most permanent or well maintained structures can stand. Vicious beasts roam the lands, followers of gods and devils wage their battles across vast swaths of the world, and unimaginably powerful titans lurk throughout the world. However it is also an abundant and lush world filled with resources and mighty nations. However the most prevalent trait in the world is magic, nearly every living thing has some kind of magic, from the mighty legendary heroes, to the Teleporting blink moths the force is in every grain of dust and every blade of grass. As sparcely populated as the world is at only 5.8 billion sentient souls calling the massive world home much of the planet is unexplored and there is plenty to discover, especially when looking into the multi million year old ruins of the precursors.
History of Kalendural
The worlds ancient history has been long since been lost to time. The oldest record of the world comes from the Giants of Titainia and goes back an astounding 765,000 years. Though many beliefs about origens of life and about the gods exist, all of them can agree that Kalendural has been through several Cataclysmic events and many species and civilizations have risen and met their end in the past 2.1 million years. Ruins from ancient lost civilizations dot the world leaving their knowledge and discoveries within. Yet only the metallic ruins of the precursors seems impervious to the effects of weather and erosion. However about 2000 years ago a massive global war between the gods and devils scarred the landscape. Much of the damage has healed and the population has just gotten back to the place it was before the terrible battle. All global superpower nations were shattered and most of the kingdoms we see today are the fragmented remains of the mighty kingdoms of old, however the downfall of the great empires allowed the smaller nations of the world to florish.
Magic in Kalendural
Magic is beleived to be an invention of the Precursors. Somehow they irradiated the world with the energy. The same way modern earth children grow up learning to use our technologies, Kalendural children grow up learning to harness magic. Most of the time by age 10 a child has enough magical skill to survive short journeys beyond the protection of their lands. Whereas the strongest practitioners can literally move mountains or flatten entire cities. It comes in many different forms and like a science or technology the focus and purposes of magic vary from culture to culture alomg with the potential for individual variations even within similar cultures. While essential there is so much differences in magics that there are none which can claim the to be a true master. Even the gods are not exempt and find that new forms of magic rise faster than they can learn them.
Legendary Heroes
Among the populations of Kalendural there are a select few whose deeds, might, and magical potential have earned them the status of legendary. While it seems like its just fame there is actually alot more to it than that. Legendary heroes command massive amounts of the magical force in Kalendural. While not all are kings or rulers their opinions and words carry just as much weight. Legendary is not just a title, its a rank, its a lifestyle, an indicator of overwhelming strength and power enough to inspire hope or dread in all who hear your name.
Kalendural Today
The Entire realm is currently under siege by a dark force from another realm called Cyribdis. These forces attack the realms of The Divine realm of the gods and the Infernal planes of the Devils as well. Their Magic is Strong, Their technology is great, their numbers are without end, and their leaders rival gods. This is truly the worst disaster the planet has ever faced. It has only been one year since the enemy made its arrival and already 3 countries have fallen and hundreds of millions have perished as their armies crumble and their civilians are slaughtered. With portals they leap across the world dropping instant sieges upon several unsuspecting populous. Even legendary heroes have begun to fall in the conflict in the recent months. While many beleived them to be demonic at first a lack of infernal energy seems to suggest otherwise. Luckily not everything is lost, old rivalries are being set aside for militant alliances that can withstand the hordes, and a new Titan lord reopened the northern territories of Titainia to the rest of the world offering alliance and protection to all who will stand with him. Furthermore new legendary heroes are beginning to rise as the gods bestow more power to people, and others are forced to rise to the occasion or perish. Kalendural stands united like never before to face against this invader who will accept no surrender, and leaves only destruction and death in her wake.
