Chronicles of
the World
The land in which Ronou resides is a large and diverse one. There're many things you should know about it!
Note: Any and all info on these pages is subject to small and/or radical change at any time. Should you ever notice a change, forget it was ever any other way.
+ General +
Planet
The planet, named Aret in Selarden, is pretty much the same as Earth in these respects: same gravity, same air, same passage of time, etc. so on. (Aret also has an ozone layer.) There are four Great Seas and three Great Oceans, and the continent on which Ronou resides, Seldra, is in the middle of Osha, the largest of the three oceans. There are 12 major continents (Seldra, Subrio, Madeus, Aldea, Atlas, Barud, Kanrya, Rhudain, Nivea, Pruj, Purofrie, Soutfrie), and Seldra (the one Ronou lives on) is the smallest. Seldra lacks its own government, without a major castle, and is governed by the northern continent Aldea.
Time
The current year is 2999. (The world is very young.) The Senshuu is coming 10 months from the start of the adventure, giving Ronou limited (but seemingly enough) time to achieve his objectives.
Languages For the most part, everyone in Seldra speaks Selarden (their form of our English). However, a few small tribes of races that are not Humans are known to speak to each other in dialects of animalian grunts and other sounds. Also, there is an old language (sometimes called "The Old Language" but known as Cakaran) that mostly the beast races use, which also has many dialects. Several things in present time have names derived from those old words.
Currency
Everyone in Seldra pays in small chips of emerald, sapphire, or ruby. These gems are harvested and cut into usable money. Emeralds are worth 1, sapphires 5, and rubies 10. There are variations of these gems (such as pink, violet, black, or clear) that are rarer and thus worth a signifigant amount more.
This method of currency is used in most of the rest of the world. (One could say that it's the worldwide standard.) Occassionally gold and silver pieces will be used, which is about the worth of a pink to a violet (100-200).
