Nations

Here are the core nations of Atharen. While there are many more, these are the most central to Atharen's current plot. Currently, only Daravin, Lorien and Radenor are available to play in, but other nations may be included in a character's backstory or country of origin. These are only short summaries of each nation. For more information, please click on the hotlink connected to each nation, which will take you to their full, in-depth lore pages on the Atharen website. Some nations may not have a hotlink, this means they are in development.

Some of the 'nations' on this list are not in fact individual nations, but cultural regions, or regions that once resided within sovereign nation, beneath a unifying culture.

You may see the relative location of each nation on the World Map.

 Daravin: The Daravinic Empire is among Atharen's most controversial of nations, a source of fear and disabuse towards the very idea of unregulated magic. Ruled by the aristocratic Entente, Daravin is a nation forever in conflict, compelled by its apocalyptic faith to wage holy war against its neighbors until the last of them are singing the praises of their God, the Returning King.
