The World:
Persepia:
Spoiler:
Persepia is a world with one large pangea-like continent with several islands floating about. It is expansive and much of its wilderness is unknown to modern civilization. Various kingdoms and city states dot the continent, some in new places, some upon old capitals of fallen empires. Races find themselves relegated to their corner of the realm, but newer cities are more cosmopolitan.
Religion:
Spoiler:
Gods exist but don’t do a lot of specific intervention. They prefer to provide their power to worshipers through devotion. There is a pantheon of 8 called the Patrons.
Shigane - goddess of death
Emil - goddess of knowledge
Leilee - goddess of life
Beld Vol - god of light
Chyronium - god of nature
Zek - god of tempest
The Strange One - god of trickery
Kor Hana - goddess of war
Shigane - goddess of death
Emil - goddess of knowledge

Beld Vol - god of light
Chyronium - god of nature
Zek - god of tempest

The current date:
Spoiler:
The current year is 212 L.P., or 212 years into what is known as the Light Period, after the end of a time of turmoil known as the Dark Period.
Tel Nadev:
Spoiler:
Tel Nadev is a city located in the middle of the Western Desert on the Caliphan Oasis and the Tel Nadev River. It is a somewhat populous city founded by merchants and is of mixed race. Every race under the sun can be seen here and each has their own district in the city, whether it be a couple of tents on the outskirts of town or sprawling several city blocks.
In the center of Tel Nadev is the human district of Albongan which is by far the most welcoming and cosmopolitan of districts. Whereas the half-orc district might have humans look a little out of place in a half-orc tavern, here there are businesses and houses of all kinds of people integrated.
Tel Nadev is a city-state ruled by the Emerald Queen, a mysterious figure who hides their true identity. Every once in a while she will make her will known to the people in a costume, and impersonators are immediately put to death, somehow the guard knows who is real and who is not.
The players start in Tel Nadev. Since it is a merchant city and traveling hub, players may be from here or could be from distant lands where their race particularly occupies, like the elven lands of Kir Harbir. Or could be from any cosmopolitan city like Brimshire to the north, Wraskal to the west, Ermwater to the south, and Lake Havinyon to the east, to name a few. Or they could be from pastoral lands near one of these city-states. Or whatever else they want to come up with.
The players are mercenary, looking for work.
