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.

 Grisic: The Grisic Empire is the most powerful nation on Atharen. Grisic is considered the true inheritor of the Unbroken Empire, born of old colonial principalities that unified in the wake of the Bleeding, forging an autocratic state. Grisic was the birthplace of the Divine Abolition, the movement to cast down the Living Gods as flawed figures, casting aspersion and critique towards their history. Now, in the modern era, it acts as a source of funding and ideological basis for violently atheistic and anti-magic activities across the continent of Atharen, eager to export its fascist ideals across the globe.
