Aristanis- The Land of Plenty

Taking up the eastern third of Ithimiorum, Aristanis is a subcontinent teeming with life in an otherwise dark world. Unlike fallen Vaergonia, or tainted Vaakoraa, the people of Aristanis are both diverse, and benevolent. The major population groups include the Elves of the Western Forests, the Dwarves along the border separating each continent, the Humans of the central plains, and the Dragonborn of the deserts. Minor races include Half-Elves, Rycanths, and surviving Vaergonian refugees.

Founding
Founded under the guidance of Khardrovis, the elder (albeit weakened) god of mortality, and mortal beings, Aristanis has climates that allow for a multitude of species to not only survive, but thrive. The first of these species were the Dwarves, and the Elves. The Elves were created to be a powerful, concentrated beachhead for further species within the subcontinent, and the Dwarves, though deemed a neutral species designed to prevent the expansion of any group beyond their realm by the council, became quite obvious defenders of Aristanis against Vaakoraan invasion.

The Dragonborn would follow soon after. Whereas the Elves served as a tried and true beacon of stability among the sapient races of the planes, the Dragonborn served more or less as an experiment. Designed in the image of their obvious namesake, they longed for travel, and thus became nomadic, roaming the entire continent in a city of tents. Through trade with the Dwarves, and Elves, the Dragonborn developed a strong scientific culture, always looking for ways to produce high quality products en masse while remaining mobile. Some key inventions that would aid the Dragonborn include gunpowder, the mobile forge, and Mithril plating
