[Maplore] The Divide

The Divide

 

 

The Great Expanse of central Aevos, The Divide marks the rolling hills and plains that make up a bulk of the continent's interior. Forgivingly easy to traverse and remarkably tranquil, The Divide seems to be the coveted land of kings from around the world. Multiple expeditions from nations old and young have failed each time in their journey to reach the land which would build empires. Peculiar that the skies above The Divide seemed to be an ocean more complex than the waters surrounding Aevos.

The Stars That Divide

 

The Divide is a land remarkable for its beauty and terrain. The greenest land upon Aevos, The Divide bore an aspect unseen in any other territory- and yet it’s most beautiful sight. The skies of The Divide were unlike anywhere else upon Eos. Beautiful arrays of vibrantly clear cosmic storms and nebulas, tumultuous clouds which reflected the vibrant colours of the sky both day and night. Everpresent, although easiest seen in the night, was a star that had shined brighter than even the moon. A brilliant blue light immeasurably far in the distance, it gave off a soft glow that made even the darkest nights visible with a soft sapphire hue.

 

Curiously, the land’s rocks and stones would be of an odd and nonsensical makeup- different types of stone scattered in a strange patchwork throughout The Divide as the earth seemed completely jumbled and disjointed. Volcanic stones beneath simple meadows, deep-sea sediment under hills and beside fertile surface earth. There was no clear age to the land nor it's makeup, as young and unbroken stones often would lay beneath broken and ancient rocks which clearly had not been moved in centuries. Gemstones mined from The Divide seemed to be far more brilliant in colour, and remarkably pure with little contamination.

 

Alongside this curious makeup of the earth, the ground would often violently shake for periods lasting from seconds to minutes. Earthquakes rattled the land frequently as the earth below trembled. Curiously, with each earthquake, the skies would seem to shake too.

 

Habiting the land were typical creatures found in plains, forests, and hills - Coltsfoot, Tippen's Root, King's Ivy, Nightglow, Amberriddle, Blissfoil, Alabaster Leaf and more were found dotted along the landscape of maple, oak, aspen, and birch trees. Shardspine Raptors made their dens within the caves that dotted the land whilst Trolls fought for the very same homes beneath the rock and earth. Praerie Dulks and Direwolves strode as kings of the land, roaming throughout the plains between the various patches of forest that were scattered across The Divide.

 

The area had a sense of uninterrupted, careful peace which almost gave off a sense of uneasiness. Despite the odd geology and harsh tectonic activity, the land offered a serenity found nowhere else on Aevos.

OOC Information

 

The Divide is a portion of the map meant to be a bit of a break from the deep mystery and tragedy that may surround other areas of Aevos. Don't be deceived however- The Stars That Divide hold mysteries of their own soon to be discovered. This post will be updated as eventlines throughout the map progress. The Geology of The Divide being a complete jumble is at free will for players to notice and roleplay, as well as the blue star that always watches over.
