Xyreos

Xyreos is small continent in the northern hemisphere, which has been settled by several different peoples over the course of history. In recent times, it has constituted of three primary kingdoms; The Kingdom of Illiade, The Kingdom of Alumbria, and The Kingdom of Stelid. More recently, however, the continent has descended into civil war with many vying factions.

Early History
By most accounts, the first inhabitants of Xyreos were the Deerfolk. They most likely migrated from the southern landmass many thousands of years before to current date (1900 A.O.M.). Their own origin stories recount being born upon the land by a storm that engulfed the entire world. Next came the Elves, who say they arrived here early on in their migrations. Many Naellysh historians, however, figure the wild lands of Xyreos turned such noble peoples into barbarians. Deerfolk oral history recorded in Alisander states that the elves built cities in the south of Xyreos and lived among the Deerfolk for a time, yet constant infighting between the elves eventually divided the two peoples.

At some time during the last age, dragons migrated to Xyreos. Through some unknown magics, the Dragon Kings claim they bore the Dragonfolk unto the land. It is said that these newcomers made war with Elves and Deerfolk, carving out a kingdom upon the western coast of the continent.

Later came man, who landed upon the northeast coast of Xyreos. Most Naellysh scholars believe that they came from the east, with their port of origin likely being the wild region known as The Tusk; which has been known in the past to spew migrations from it's inhospitable womb.

Towards the end of the last age, Dwarves and Ratfolk arrived upon Xyreos. The Dwarves claim they arrived from following a dangerous and long exodus through the many deep caverns of the earth. What or where they were fleeing from, however, is unknown even to the scholars of Stelid. The Ratfolk seem to have followed the Dwarves through this passage, yet they soon migrated from the caverns to the wild forests of Xyreos (much to the dismay of the Elves and Deerfolk)

At some time before the beginning of the Age of Majesty and the crowning of Emperor Cretius Nosseos, a Dragon-King by the name of Farsyn came to prominence in Xyreos.
