The world is known as the Oerth. The continent is known Oerik, and the civilized area is called the Flaeness.
Human tribes and languages
Flan
The Flan are one of the oldest tribes; they very nature- and elemental-based in their deities (Pelor the sun god, Obad-Hai the druidic god, etc.). Flan distrust arcane magic, in general. The largest remaining independent Flan nation is Keoland.
Oeridian
The Oeridians are a warrior people from the North, who moved in and formed the largest continental empire, known as the Great Kingdom. Border territories splintered off to form other nations, until eventually the desperate imperial family consorted with devils to restore order in their lands. Since then, several kingdoms have tried to restore the ideals of the Old Kingdom, but the Devil-princes of the line of Ivid remain in the heart of the Great Kingdom.
Suloise and Baklunish
The Suel and Baklunish empires were powerful magical empires long ago, but they destroyed each other in a border war that involved twin cataclysms, the Invoked Devastation and the Rain of Colorless Fire. Their former lands are now the Sea of Dust and the Dry Steppes. The survivors have since migrated throughout the rest of the Flaeness.
*Common is a language that blends elements of all four of these languages.
