Countries:
Country: Leiversa.
Capital city: Ethis.
Inhabitance: Leiversians.
Land: The forest, after the Meteor Fire hundreds of years ago, has grown back into a deep, dark forest where trees range anywhere from two to four-hundred feet high. Little undergrowth is due in part to the canopy so high up, leaving few patches of greenery below, and many lichens and fungi to be found. Few large predators, many smaller ones as well as prey thrive among the fallen trees and bushes.
==============================================
Country: Brada.
Capital City: Utysea.
Inhabitants: Rajorans.
Land: Tectonic activity and the wear and tear of the elements have left this country largely unchanged for the majority of the planet's history. However, climate changes following the Meteor Fire have caused the south-western edge of the country to grow warmer and allow Lieversa's Forrest to bleed into the somewhat shrunken area.
==============================================
Country: New Civea.
Capital city: Idantine.
Inhabitance: Mekleor.
Land:
==============================================
Country: Ithroia.
Capital city: Warden.
Inhabitance: A mixture of races from across the planet, mostly Mages.
Land: A land of varying terrain, depending on what part you travel too. From the cliffs of Steffson to the forest Albinur, the land is as different and mysterious as the many mages that reside within the Arcane University, the centre point of the capital city of Warden. However, on the most part the country mainly consists of rolling hills and grass as far as the eye can see. The land is fertile, which is why there are hundreds of farming communities across the land.
==============================================
Country: Menith.
Capital city: Agosica.
Inhabitance: Nethians.
Land: Just before the spread of the Meteor Fire, a huge tidal wave swept over the small island continent, drowning most if it forever. What was left was sodden, muddy, and completely water-logged. Also the countries foundation is riddled caves and an extensive tunnel system that weaves throughout the continent. An underwater city of some sort is believed to exist just off of the coast of Menith, where the main bulk of the Nethian race exist. The Nethian territory expands several hundred miles out to see in all directions of the country.
==============================================
Country: Zelio.
Capital city: Xanarctium.
Inhabitance: Zelios.
Land: The Meteor Fire had negligible effects on the desert country, but the ensuing climate changes brought on uncannily beneficial changes. The average temperature lowered by nearly five degrees in the summer allowed new forms of plant and animal life to spring anew, as well as cut the once ever-present sandstorms to only a handful a year. Though the rims of Zelio are now more alive than before, that isn't to say the inner-most areas are no less deadly. Sand dunes still drift throughout the year and rest taller than any man wishes to climb. Worse still, new, deadly live thrives amidst the sands.
==============================================
Country: The Void
Capital city: Anothen.
Inhabitance: Pariahim.
Land: The meteor storm destroyed the desert's only major city and left much or the surface a dangerous waste of glass craters. Over the years, the nation that once had been here was forgotten until the discovery of the Pariahim and their city. Now, although Anothen is the only major city in the area, newly built glass covered, climate controlled roads have made travel to and from the city very common.
==============================================
Country: Keldraech.
Capital city: Sybern.
Inhabitance: Paendrema - One of the few non-native species of the planet, the Paendrema have lived within the jungles of Keldraech for as long as their history may reach. Averaging seven to eight-feet in height, a Paendrema has four legs, a thick tail, and two arms built for powerful activity. A draconic head and tough scales complete the somewhat de-tech'ed race. Not much is known about this race, though they are usually avoided. The jungle seems to defend their territory, as well as rumors of dark and blasphemous rituals.
Land: The once-lush and thriving Larletan forest was the hardest hit after the Meteor Fire, but constant rains and a moist environment wouldn't allow the cinders and fallen trunks to remain for very long. Within just a few years spores and seeds floated in on the winds and repopulated the small island. Centuries later, a volcanic hot-spot under what was once Guardinia created an ever-expanding land bridge and merged the once solitary islands into a single chain. Meadow-like and grassy on the south-western end, only lack of soil nutrition keeps the ferocity of the jungle at bay.
==============================================
Country: Raoush.
Capital city: Panosul.
Inhabitance: Rellians.
Land: With few trees to carry it, the Meteor Fire passed over Rues and left it largely unscathed. In doing so, fertile ash rained upon the already vibrant soil and spurred the growth of trees and lush undergrowth. By itself, this is an undeniably good thing, but with new herbs, there are new creatures to eat them, and even newer creatures to eat them. Serpents, wild cats, and even carniverous rodents stalk amongst the undergrowth and will not hesitate to take down people. To counter-act the dangerous wildlife, the people of Raoush dig deep into their ancestry.
==============================================
Country: Illasa
Capital city: N/A.
Inhabitance: N/A.
Land: Relatively unchanged during the millennia past, the only notable difference is the expansion of the ice-pack in certain regions. The heat from the near-magmatic southern end of the planet has inexplicably decreased over time, and with less heat to counter Illasa's cold, it would be only natural for it to creep only a little south.
==============================================
Country: Runedare.
Capital city: N/A.
Inhabitance: Jera'kor - The golem-like people that came on the celestial traveler that caused the Meteor Fire. Crash-landing in the thin crust of Alundera caused a tectonic disturbance that brought to life many once-sleeping volcanoes as well as oceanic vents that brough much-needed minerals to the sea floor. With a freshly-opened pool of super-heated rock, the sluggish, sleepy Jera'kor were relatively quick to absorb the heat around them to fuel their life processes. Extreme heat still prevents anyone from confirming their existence, but there can be no mistake that something is causing the cool-down.
Land: The outer-fringes of the southern continent have cooled sufficiently as the water temperature lowered, however the inner regions remain as molten as ever. Little plant life is able to survive, though it is rumored that the cool-down isn't entirely due to global cooling.
