The Isles of Axios (1571-1642) is a previous realm of the Lord of the Craft, it replaced The Isles of Vailor in the in game year of 1571.

Geography

Axios consists of three major islands, Tahn, Asul and Ceru. Large ancient ruins can be spotted across the islands, being the remnants of previous colonisers.

Tahn

The island of Tahn is the largest island in Axios, and is home to the Kingdom of Haense, parts of the Kingdom of Courland, the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, the Dominion of Malin, the Silver State of Haelun'or, the War Nation of Krugmar, the Kingdom of Lorraine-Savoy, the Kingdom of the Westerlands and the Warhawke Chiefdom the Kingdom of Norland.. Vast mountain ranges dot the landscape, with plains that spread wide and thin. The vast forests that span the southern tip have made home to the wood elves, while the dwarves have carved their homes in the mountains. Large swathes of desert lie to the east, separating the dwarves from the wood elves.

Asul

Asul has been host to much of the conflict in Axios, being once the home of the War Uzg and the Dreadlands before their conquest by the Holy Orenian Empire. After the dissolution of the Holy Orenian Empire, the Kingdom of Courland seized the empire's old land on Asul. It now hosts two independent nations: The Kingdom of Courland and The Sultanate of Haria.

Ceru

Of the three islands, Ceru is the least diverse with ice and snow to the north, and thick forests to the south. The Federation of Sutica is the only nation that occupies this island, coupled with its wealth it has allowed them to expand rapidly over the near entirety of the island. In the northern mountains of Ceru lies the palace belonging to the Princedom of Fenn.
