Kingdoms of Atheria

Excerpt from The Atheria Chronicles: 342 A.N.

Scholars surmise that all the kingdoms were joined together as one land before the Great Cataclysm. No one is sure if all species lived together in one kingdom or were divided.

Regardless, all species are now separated within their own kingdoms and lands. That dark ages were long and brutal. World breaches caused monsters from the pocket realities to devast the lands and all lived in fear and constant war. Once Nexus and the Guild was founded, the Hero Party reached out to the kingdoms in peace. Sharing their vast knowledge with everyone, they earned the rulers trust and the Guild became recognized as the governing body of the Aetheon Portal.

Many kingdoms setup embassies in Nexus and species of Atheria were united in their efforts to stop the World Breaches. Nexus became the vanguard and first line of defense, bringing in engineers, adventurers, clergy and the best minds. While the kingdoms have worked together for hundreds of years now, there is still some wariness and high tensions as different factions formed and vived for control of the Guild after the hero party disappeared in 5 A.N., five years After Nexus was founded.
