Realms

The realms of the known world consist of a number of isles, continents, and other land masses on which the Descendant Races have lived, journeyed, and otherwise surveyed across the centuries. Although there are other locations around the known world, this page specifically refers to those that have been used as maps in the past. Meaning that they are canon locations that the players have played on, from Aegis, the first realm, or map, to that of the current day. Past realms used as maps cannot be currently visited in any capacity, due to most of them suffering catastrophes, or other destructive events, warranting the inhabitants of the land to flee to somewhere new.

These canon realms are divided into two sections below, each of which specifically refers to the intended use of the land. Realms that fall under the category of 'Major' are those that were designed to serve as major roleplaying maps, on which the vast majority of planned event lines, established nations, and other standard practices were carried out. Realms that fall under the category of 'Minor' are those that were designed to serve as temporary, or transition, maps. They are places that existed solely on which to roleplay for a very brief time in between major map changes. All major Realms have hisotircally following a naming pattern in which the first letter was always an 'A', in reference to a specific piece of legend lore. However, this pattern was broken once between the major Realms of Athera and Axios, due to the temporary map between them becoming a permanent map, and therefore a major Realm.

Major Realms

Aegis

The first realm of the server, Aegis is where Iblees fought the Descendent races and everything was made. Existing for slightly over 1350 years, Aegis was eventually conquered and destroyed by the Undead.

Asulon

After the Destruction of Aegis the survivors sailed to Asulon. A far larger realm than its predecessor, Asulon contained many more nations, longer travel distances and two new playable races. It existed for approximately 70 years before being abandoned for‍ Elysium.‍

Anthos

After Asulon fell Anthos was unveiled. Designed to fix issues that had emerged in Aegis and Asulon, it was destroyed by a large flood, causing the remainder of the population to flee into‍ The Fringe.‍

Athera

The last realm of the server, Athera is designed for years of play time. Combining previous experiences from other realms, it contained a new gameplay feature, trying to create the best realm in the history of Lord of the Craft. Fell to a large worm who consumed most of the world.

Minor Realms

The Verge

The Verge was originally released as a new area for peoples of Aegis to explore and collect resources in. It gained a prominent part in the server lore when it was used by the surviving Aegeans after the Destruction of Aegis to flee to Asulon. It was not as large as Aegis and did not have nearly as large a population. The world was notable for having very dangerous fauna.

Elysium

After the fall of Asulon the survivors sailed to Elysium. Made mostly of tall mountains and many deserts, Elysium had many dangerous mobs. It is also remembered as having a large chicken population. It was released before Kalos and existed alongside it for some time.

Kalos

A world made to complement Elysium, Kalos had several large islands. The defining feature was the Badlands, an area of the Wilds where many server rules were relaxed. About 10 years was spent in Elysium and Kalos before moving to Anthos.

The Fringe

The Fringe was released as an expansion to Anthos in a similar to fashion to Aegis and The Verge. Located far away from the borders of Anthos; it soon became a refuge for the survivors following the destruction of Anthos. The Black Scourge were defeated here during the time that the descendant races inhabited it.

Thales

Thales was designed to allow testing of several new plugins in preparation for Athera and to provide a replacement for The Fringe. It was the most recent minor realm in Lord of the Craft.
