Empyrean Repose

Welcome to the world of Empyrean, a land as vast as the sky. Just make sure you watch your step, or you’ll become part of the skies. This is a land not separated by seas, but by vast expanses of air. Airship travel is commonplace, and floating isles make up the homes and graves of all. This is a world of adventure and opportunity, but will it be all idle daydreams or shall you make it yours?

- While religion plays an important role in many worlds, here in Empyrean it’s the Elementals who take center stage. Most religions you would find in the D&D verse exist here (as do almost every god, deity, and demon), but here each is aligned with an elemental. And this is important, as most of the world is powered by these elementals. The floating isles only exist due to the agreements made between the Earth Elementals and Air Elementals. Airships soar the skies by the collaboration of Air Elementals and Fire Elementals. You’ll find that everything in this world is tied to the Elements.

- Higher levels of technology does exist here, powered by elementals of varying sizes. The mechanisms tend to be simple, such as a refrigerator powered by a small water elemental, or an oven powered by a small fire elemental. We even have radios, using small rocks called sending stones.

- While the opportunities of Empyrean are as vast as the sky, the same cannot be said for relations between nations. This is a world of heavy isolationism, with only one exception…

- The Phoenicians are the driving force behind globalization, a unified term for the largest merchant’s guild. Coin really does bring us closer, doesn’t it? That being said, merchants are the pioneers of bringing nations cultures, calendar, customs, languages, and riches together. In a way, the Phoenicians are a nation in of themselves, their sovereign land being the skies.
