Hyperion

Overview
Originally part of the larger continent of Trellar, Hyperion found itself detached as the fallout of extremely powerful magics sundered the land to the north-east, causing it to slip into the inky depths of the Adraar sea. Where the land of 100 conquerors once stood, there is now a turbulent ocean known as Devil’s rift.

Hyperion is seen as the more enlightened of the two continents, having greatly benefitted from more prosperous times following the disappearance of the Old Gods. While the First Citizen continually drove the Kalstatti Empire to expand its territory and control, they also pushed for unity and cultural growth. Through wars, trade deals, and the exploits of adventuring groups the other nations of Hyperion were also dragged along in the perpetual advancement of society.

Food is produced in great enough quantities and for a cheap enough cost, most nations have some form of the Roman grain dole in place. The middle class has grown to include purveyors of the arts along with the usual tradesmen and merchants.

The relationships between nations are frosty at the best of times but most nations have a grudging respect for each other, with the exception of Leorin, with whom most of the nations are on friendly terms.
