World
Kai'lar is a world shaped by consequence. Born in divine perfection and broken by choice, it is a realm where gods no longer walk openly, yet their influence endures through faith, judgement, and the Spark granted to the chosen mortal races. History here is not clean or unanimous - it is layered, disputed, and often scarred by loss.
Most people know only Athera, the great western continent where kingdoms rise and fall and the current Age of Kings unfolds. Beyond it lie lands reshaped by ancient catastrophe, forgotten empires reduced to ruin, and truths preserved only in fragments. What is known, what is believed, and what is deliberately obscured often differ - and understanding the world means learning to navigate all three.
This section serves as a guide to Kai'lar as it is understood by scholars, cultures, and faiths across Athera. Not all knowledge is universal, and not all accounts agree. Players are encouraged to treat this material as context, not certainty - a foundation upon which discovery, conflict, and interpretation are built.
