+'''Daeridune''' is a ringed planet in the [[Manaverse]]. It orbits two suns and is orbited by a single moon. Daeridune is an arid planet and is associated prominently with its vast desert lands, as well as a geographical feature known as the [[Sandsea]] that wraps around its equator.
-Daeridune is home to two canons, both chatplay-based: ''[[Algorithm of Fate]]'' and a currently-unnamed canon that takes place before Daeridune's apocalyptic event.
+At some point in its history, Daeridune was stricken by an apocalyptic event that destroyed most life on the planet. Events on Daeridune are often described as occurring pre-apocalypse and post-apocalypse. It currently plays host to two major roleplays: ''[[Algorithm of Fate]]'' (which occurs after the Daeridite apocalypse) and a currently-unnamed canon which takes place prior to the planet's apocalypse.

 Post-apocalyptic Daeridune is a barren, wastelandish world. In the setting of ''[[Algorithm of Fate]]'', the major city is '''Antriquel''', but there are several smaller cities scattered nearby. Antriquel is in the south western hemisphere of Daeridune— lying within southern Auvresh, relatively close to the Sandsea.

-Deities of Progress and Idealism, which the population took to mean technology vs magic.
+Prior to the apocalyptic event, Daeridune observes two particular deities -- '''[[Exelixus]]''', the deity of Progress, and '''[[Unaerion]]''' the deity of Idealism. It is currently unknown what form these deities took when they engaged with the world. What is known is that their existence sparked a planet-wide rift in ideologies. Those who chose to follow Exelixus' ways observed a massive surge in technological development, whereas followers of Unaerion were enlightened with significant magiological advances. This has largely divided Daeridite society into two major factions.
-Post-apocalyptic Daeridune does not have a recognized pantheon. While the planet did originally have deities, they appeared to vanish after the apocalyptic event.
+There is also an emergent theological movement that is centred in [BLUE_CONT], known as the '''Eyes Movement'''. It is a comparatively recent development that is centered on the existence of a holy woman that is reported to have reincarnated throughout the ages as a major figure in general Daeridite society.

 {{Main|1=Auvresh}}
-=====Daeova=====
+'''Auvresh''' (demonym: ???) is a large landmass that dominates the majority of the western hemisphere. Prior to the apocalyptic event that reduced the world largely to ruin, Auvresh was considered the hub of technological progress on Daeridune. The majority of its residents believed in the power of [[Exelixus]], the Daeridite deity representing progress.
-'''Daeova''' can be considered a fascist theocracy by [[Terra]]n standards. The country worships the God of Progress, [[Exelixus]], and refers to their own system of secular governance as '''Exelism'''. This Exelist form of government is unique and unpopular in the eyes of less radical societies. The country focuses on progress while maintaining order, creating a stoic and oppressive civilization aside from the crime of those dissatisfied with the current state of affairs. Free thinking is stifled under the population's need to push their technology and science to new limits.
-The country focuses on progress while maintaining order. Free thinking is stifled under the population's need to push their technology and science to new limits, cultivating the environment for anarchic crime; this is particularly true in the larger cities.
+Auvresh is comprised of the nations of '''[[Daeova]]''' and '''[[Pragara]]'''.
-−
-The ruling theocrat of Daeova is '''[[Silas Payne|Silas Jasper Payne]]''', who keeps the company of what he refers to as '''[[Exelist Enforcers]]'''. This includes [[Damien Thrage]].
-−
-Daeova's currency is based around coins called '''Tael''', which come in copper, silver, and gold variants. It is fifty Copper Tael to a Silver Tael and fifty Silver to a Gold. Daeovan economy is good to those able to work in military, construction, or scientific fields, and poor to the rest of society. This contributes to the anarchic crime in larger cities (which is quickly and methodically silenced by Payne's enforcers) and rampant poverty in the smaller, weaker cities (which Payne ignores and allows to be picked off for the sake of the rest of the country's progress).
-−
-Daeova's capital city is named '''Aeficeon''' and houses military advancements. Daeova also includes the city of '''Antriquel''' (the main setting of ''[[Algorithm of Fate]]''), and '''Kevarus''' (a large city which houses the scientific and technological advancements). It is a part of the continent of [[Auvresh]], which has the highest rate of technological and societal progress of the three main continents of Daeridune.
-−
-Military in Daeova includes the Exelist Enforcers, as well as generic army forces. The Exelist Enforcers are used to shut down opposition in the form of dissenters and disruptive individuals, such as [[Dazenth Raziel]]'s hobby of being a mercenary hitman. Daeovan military forces are given special energy-based weaponry- Dazenth's gunblade and Damien's railgun being among them.
-−
-Technology in Daeova naturally centers around the ideals of "harder, better, faster, stronger". The height of their technology at Standard Canon Time includes genetic experimentations- creating specialized creatures from scratch, such as [[Stormcatcher]]- and interplanetary travel via [[Zero-Space]]. It was, in fact, a Daeovan ship that caught the Mana signal of a [[Vindrite]] girl known as "[[Cyclone]]" and, unable to read it, went to investigate. It was a Daeovan ship that eventually caught a similar signal from Vindrgard and was then "stolen" by the man [[Nathair Kigyo]].
-−
-=====Pragara=====
-Predominantly chemists and pressure engineers, they have extremely good medicine and command powerful, complex water-pressure machines.
-−
-They live on the coast and build cities of labyrinthine pipework, their buildings wrapped up in complex piping/cables like webbing around the cities. This makes their cities hard to navigate, which leads civilians to get frustrated with visitors.
-−
-The government strongly insists everyone keep working, which often leads to rushed or forced projects, which is the general contributing factor to the mess that is the faction’s infrastructure. Aside from this, they strongly value life, and many funds are contributed to health and the environment. They are generally communist.
-−
-Once Pragaran society realized that they were just a lesser version of Daeova, a “fatalist” art movement emerged within their society. Tired of normal labour, they turned to art to express themselves, leading to huge, labyrinthine installations. The usage of lots of steel and welding lend to their to steampunk-esque technology. Due to more space north of Sandsea, Pragara has the freedom to build sprawling structures instead of building high to make the most economic use of space.
-−
-It's perhaps a rather impressionable country, and Pragara has some history that is actively being buried by Daeova
