With the notable absence of the moon prior to the Moonrise Event, they have similar sights to those of the real world: a sun that shines during the day, stars and more recently a moon at night. text/html 2018-01-20T23:00:33+00:00 http://moonrise.chaosdeathfish.com/setting:colonies?rev=1516489233&do=diff The Ennarian Colonies Somewhere on the other side of the world to Ardora is another continent called Soldera, which is largely home to the Ennarian Empire.

People are becoming Echoes seemingly at random and with unknown cause. An Echo is a person who no longer interacts meaningfully with the world in new ways. Typically a person with a daily routine who has become an Echo will continue to go about that routine for a while, but this is highly sensitive to even the slightest thing being different. text/html 2020-01-17T22:26:32+00:00 http://moonrise.chaosdeathfish.com/setting:genera?rev=1579299992&do=diff Genera Whilst humans are the most commonplace of the Genera (the term used for sentient species) that form the people of Ardora, making up about 70% of the population, there are four others that may be encountered: the Rakfel, Cutani, Ornadi and Dracata. text/html 2018-01-28T22:53:24+00:00 http://moonrise.chaosdeathfish.com/setting:geography?rev=1517180004&do=diff Geography Ardora The continent of Ardora is the large, sprawling landmass that player characters in Moonrise call home. Much of the continent is home to the Myriad Nations, an empire which consists of countless small nations which, whilst they have autonomy and occasionally fight amongst one another, all ultimately answer to the diktat of the Emperor of Iruspin, the Lead Nation. Nobody is certain of the exact number of the Nations, but it is likely in the hundreds. text/html 2018-01-20T23:14:18+00:00 http://moonrise.chaosdeathfish.com/setting:history?rev=1516490058&do=diff History For as far back as its people have records the people of Ardora have formed many nations, but it was not always as united as it is in the era of the Myriad Nations. Several centuries ago many of the nations were at constant war, and seeking an end to the bloodshed the ruler of Tenetria set upon a path of careful and calculated conquest, winning over those who opposed her with strategic victories coupled with the promise that all of the fighting would end and that they could still be the… text/html 2018-01-27T17:02:25+00:00 http://moonrise.chaosdeathfish.com/setting:language?rev=1517072545&do=diff Language There is only a single language spoken by all of the Genera and no cases have ever been encountered of differing civilisations unable to communicate.

Medical technology for medical experts takes the form of various substances mixed from herbs and similar ingredients which can be administered to promote healing or enhance someone to a much more efficacious extent than herbal remedies would in our world.
