History
Avenir was a calm land where diversity and culture was celebrated in every region. However, that was before a strange war broke through Vatra. It took 30 years to finally end the brutal conflict; a conflict that tore the region apart until it became nothing short of a wasteland and wiped out majority of its population. Through the fire and hail, REX (Rescue and Explore) was formed to implement a system of Castles to make sure the horrible events in Vatra never repeat again. Decades passed, and the system lived on in memory of the people who fought to uphold the peace. Though, nowadays, very little is known of how REX operates and builds castles.
As of today, the continent of Avenir has united 7 regions.
Those regions are: Sunshore, Mystique, Luxum, Zephyr, Symphonia, Val Destra, and Vatra.
Other areas outside of the abovementioned regions do not have a peace pact and live outside of Avenir's borders.

Avenir
The land goes under different spellings, but Avenir is the most common one people seem to stick to, and is also the name that is printed on all the maps. Each region has a majority population species, and all of the types can be discovered in the species section. Similarly, all castles that belong to the regions (even unmarked ones) can be viewed in the castles section while facilities in multiple regions have their own section.
Below you will find individual areas that belong to different regions, some of which will not be listed on the map itself due to the fact they are hidden/mythical/unknown to the world that the characters are exploring and thus would not be marked on the map.
Clockwork Woods
They say you can feel the flow of time as you walk through these woods. Time can supposedly move faster or slower, depending on which area you enter.
This area is so tranquil that no sound other than that of running water and the ticking of clocks can be heard. The water is said to be so pure you could drink straight from the river. No species willingly walk into these woods unless they are cornered. A rumor says you can get trapped in time if you remain in the woods for far too long. Every clocks's hands are movable, but for now, nobody knows exactly what they do, and people advise against moving them for fun. |
Sky Castle (Glacier Level)
The cold air in this area renders flying impossible for the animals that are not bred purely to survive in this condition. These glaciers are filled with micro anti-gravity crystals that (if gathered in huge amounts) can hold up heavy lumber. This is where most of the crystals come from, but they can only be found below glacier level. The ice is so clear in this area that you can see through it if you look close enough.
The castle can be reached by a lift that operates by using anti-gravity crystals. Harsh winds in this land prevent any crops from growing. Only a few species can live in these stressful conditions, so the population at glacier level is relatively small, and population underground is practically nonexistent. |
Galaxy Cavern
This area is hidden and buried underneath heavy amounts of snow. It’s said that the roof of the whole cave is a window to galaxies and stars from far away, and that the thick layer of ice underneath it reflects the rooftop perfectly, making it feel as if you're floating through space.
If you walk on the ice and happen to step on a reflection of a star or galaxy, the pattern above the ice will change. There’s gems inside the rock pillars in this area, and each gem holds a constellation on the inside. When purified, they become anti-gravity crystals. |
