Gahiri

Gahiri, the Mortal Realm, is the birthplace of all mortal creatures, including humans, elves, orcs, and others. Currently in the year 4513 of the Third Age, Gahiri was created millennia ago by a forgotten god. This ancient creator mysteriously vanished, leaving the world in the care of the current gods. Any records of who this original deity was or why they departed have long since been lost, just like the once-great empire that dominated the world in ages past.

Ruins of this ancient empire, overtaken by nature, can still be found across the land—some buried beneath sand and forests, others forming the foundations of modern cities. Towering stone cities, arcane machines, and shattered spires stand as silent testaments to their mastery of arcane power. Even the eldest beings, such as dragons and vampires, know little of these lost inhabitants, only that their magic surpassed anything seen today. Wrecked ships and ancient towers lay overgrown, yet still speak of a civilization that once touched the heavens.

Gahiri itself is a lush, vibrant world with four distinct seasons, filled with life and water. Suspended high above its surface is a magical sun, created by the Sun God to shield the world from the encroaching Void. Beyond the protective bubble of creation lies the Void—a chaotic mass of darkness and unbound energy teeming with ravenous creatures. The night sky is not an empty expanse but a dark mass of Void creatures pressed against the firmament, forever seeking to break through. The light of dawn and the combined will of the gods hold this unrelenting darkness at bay, protecting Gahiri from destruction.
