Nazakir is unique in its government structure, the queen is the rightful ruler, but there are five other factions who share power with her. These houses are each led by their own Lord whom Vila is forced to bargain with to maintain a state of peace, each lord believes they should rule, but by keeping them all equal the queen remains in control.

As for as the nations of Terrainia know, Nazakir is a peaceful ally, friend to the grand alliance and while the Queen truly is, the rest of the lords of Nazakir want nothing but the throne for themselves.

The Bridge of Iron

Location: South of Kantis
Built (Alliance Year): Pre Ultwe
The Fortress of Echoes

Built long ago by the Zariger, used as a fortress to dominate the island of Ultwe, abandoned during their fall, but the slaves within were not set free.

Ten thousand slaves either starved to death or killed each other for food. The last remnant of the slaves lost all their humanity and devolved into something else altogether.

As the decades passed and cell doors were broken, the collective of sub human creatures eventually found a way out, the ghoulkin quickly ravaged the island as the slaves on the outside were un prepared for such a foe.

Now it?s just a ruin, but during the darkest nights and the coldest winters the local folk report terrible screams coming from within.


Location: Southeast of Kantis
Built (Alliance Year): Pre Ultwe
Megalith of Flame

When the humans of Ultwe first began to harness the elemental forces of the world, one particularly able group found that by erecting giant stones to focus the elemental forces they could cast even more powerful spells.

The fire megalith is the last original one standing, the others have been destroyed by time or war, but the fire stone\'s power is felt by anyone that stands near it.


Location: South of Kantis
Built (Alliance Year): Imperial year 124 (Alliance year -1403)

The rise of the Elves-50000

Elfinihiar Creates the elves

The Rise of the Zariger Empire-4000

The Zariger expand aggressively outwards

Surprise Attack-2000

As the Zariger fleet withdrew from neighbouring Talax, a isolated clan unleashes a barrage attack from the island now known as Nazakir.

The attacks was supposed to force a ship to land so they could escape, but the only ships that were struck, floundered, spilling their cargo of human slaves upon the shore.

Zariger Overrun-1997

In the first few months the humans were left confused as to what to do, but they soon rallied together out of hatred of their oppressors.

In these months they built a settlement in what was a ruin of an ancient elven structure, unknown to them this would protect them for years to come.

The Zariger on the island were so few in number that they were no match for the thousands of freed slaves, and very quickly they all fell to rock or fist.

In just a few months the Zariger were erased from the island, but their legacy would soon be revealed.

A Beast Roams-1598

For 400 years the fruits of the Zariger's labour roamed the wold, most of which were dealt with quickly, even if it cost many human lives, but the humans numbers continually grew.

One last beast now roamed the island, it was too big and too powerful for them to handle, and it only took one or two humans a month, the settlers within the elven ruins were never attacked, as such no effort was made to slay the beast.

The Beast is Slain-1597

When the population grew to large to be protected they had no choice, the creature was taking many more settlers because they had no where to hide, and keeping livestock became impossible.

The settlers gather every able fighter that will, if they die, leave offspring behind to continue the settlement, the army is led by the strongest of them and they succeed in felling the creature, but many lives are lost, and only five of the strongest survive

In their victory the discover the creature has five gemstone inset into it's face, the humans assumed they were eyes, but they were in fact elemental crystals embedded by the Zariger to empower the creature.

Along with the crystals, the heroes tore apart it's hide, a unique and unknown material. They took this strange material and forged a circlet, one that was gifted by the other five to the one that organised the mission and did not take a prize for themselves, this sixth hero became leader of the settlers, whom by now called themselves the Nazikith, and together they name the island Nazikir.

Burgeoning Expansion-1576

The heroes spend the next twenty years enjoying freedom to roam further than before, but were soon overcrowding the north area, the Lord took it upon himself to venture past the mountains and settle a new city known as Tinnes, after the name of the Lord himself.

The gemstones bestowed power previously unknown to the heroes, and over time they learnt to harness their power, and as those five, and the lord aged and died, these crystals and the circlet passed to their offspring.

Grand Exploration-1220

During the next 350 years the people of Nazakir pushed further out into the island finding plentiful bounty of the land, and eventually the need to settle close to these places became apparent.

Nazakir is Colonised-1001

The city of Kantis is founded by the XXX, and shortly after the ciy of Bouloun by XXX, Vonico by XXX and lastly XXXX by XXX.

These grow and prosper over the next two hundred years, and peace is still prevalent across Nazakir.

ABOUT US

THE CONCEPTION

Terrainia started off in 2004 as a single island for a role-playing game (using a well-known and popular third edition rule set). This island became wonderfully detailed, players would recognise who they were dealing with when suitable miniatures (made by another well-known table-top games company) were placed on the table. But eventually the players finished the campaign, and managed to slay the dragon, or so they thought.

So with the campaign over, but the desire to continue burning ever bright, further areas were designed and planned, and over the course of five long but enjoyable years the world grew exponentially. At its peak of these five years there were six regular groups, around forty players, two dungeon masters, and a world as large as Earth drawn up and with huge levels of detail.

THE EVOLUTION

While that is where Terrainia was born, now nineteen years on and the development hasn’t stopped, we began to construct this website in 2010 as a resource for our players to use, then in 2020 (during the world wide pandemic) our founder took the opportunity to flesh out the world even more and add this to the website during which thoughts turned to sharing Terrainia with the rest of the world.

It was at this time that the founder began to commission artists, budgets were low, it took time to find the right artists with the right style, but over the next few years the main cast got made, the deities, the primary heroes and villains, then monsters. it was important for the founder that all artwork was theirs, monster design was theirs, and in turn game systems were theirs, we did not want to copy or reproduce existing systems

Along with the game world, contributors are writing novels and designing games, all set within Terrainia, at the time this page was last updated there is no less than seven different games/books in production, and soon will have link to these games/books for you to immerse yourselves within.

So that’s us, we hope you enjoy the site, if you want to give us some feedback why not .

THE FUTURE

After this first wave of games and books who knows? but one thing for sure is there is plenty of material and our aim will be to share this world with as many fantasy fans as possible.
