Our planet is Vinadorin. The origin of the planets lies with the Gods, the divine creators. How we record time is an important thing to note. The calendar is recorded over the course of 7 day weeks called Cycles. Each day lasts 24 hours. There are 4 Cycles within a month. There are 12 months within a year.
Months Jannus Februs Maarus Aprus Mathus Juneus Julius Augus Septus Octus Novus Decus Days Bachen Tyralen Denesen Thorelen Fyfthen Saalden Oden Every Cycle begins with Bachen Cycle 1 and ends on Oden Cycle 4. This totals 48 weeks or 336 days in a year. Earlier in my writing I would date the papers. I came to the conclusion that it was not necessary, as the information is assorted in any order. Regardless, the proper format would be: Month, Day - Cycle #. Office of the Reporter Douglas Stoutforge

Just South of Delrin lies the country of Gol’Anais. During the War of the Lines, the Dark Elves were pushed back into the volatile mountains of ash and fire. In its wake, their cut of territory was sizable, but not entirely ideal. What little vegetation can grow, is raised and harvested in the grassy southern regions. Sugar cane and coffee plants both grow, but are not exported.
The Dark Elf territory is referred to as The Woken Land due to the constant eruptions from lesser mountains. In the far north are the three great mountains Nai’Doom, Fogo’Pai, and Cinzas’Neno. Each are known to quake and coat the northernmost territories in ash frequently. Despite the hostile environment, a variety of birds make their home in Gol’Anais. Due to the heartland not getting much colder in the winter, it is believed many avian species can make their home there year round. A skilled Dark Elf craftsman is trained to master building with the shimmering black rock known as obsidian. It is plentiful in the Woken Land and makes for a hearty building material when combined with ash paste, their main export and a material that doubles as a building mortar. The black spires of Dark Elven cities are a sight to be held. - Ultimately, they are a reclusive people. While they take part in the High Court and are generally friendly once you get to know them, the Dark Elves have bitterly accepted their home. It may not be ideal, but it is what they were given. As such, they have mastered every aspect of their land. One must do whatever it takes to survive, especially in a land as harsh as Gol’Anais. Office of the Reporter Douglas Stoutforge War. War has ravaged the Buervan Highlands for nearly five centuries. Ever since the Nienilef abandoned the earth and retreated to their floating cities, many outcast Humans took to claiming the region. In the wake of the land’s former keepers, peace was something foreign to the country.
Throughout the ages, many warlords have risen and fallen. The eternal conflict across the country attracted the attention of soldiers for hire. Flocking to the country, anyone who would make a living through fighting for coin had an opportunity waiting for them. Considering the trade-heavy nation of Yvoria lie to the north, merchant caravans needed protection. In the present, mercenaries are a cornerstone to the unstable economy of the country. One city, Boranath, does make its living from trade. The rest simply grow what meager crops they can, or take over new territories. The Buervan Highlands lives and breathes through war, and it only makes sense that their primary occupation is a bloody one. Office of the Reporter Douglas Stoutforge |
