Rokans is a planet within the Manaverse. It is the home of ongoing conflict that has only gotten worse over time with the introduction of the achlymperists Elevix Magnus and Infinic Juptois.
Geography
Continents
The landscape of Rokans had been reshaped multiple times. As a result, the planet itself has had a total of nine continents, one of them being a supercontinent.
Ankoka
Ankoka is one of the original four continents of Rokans, and the initial home of the Anko Faction. This continent was known for its large number of forests and valleys. It eventually joined together with Ankoka and Magchos to create the massive supercontinent Nenhygas during the Quad War.
Kohdaiku
Kohdaiku is the largest of the original four continents of Rokans, and the initial home of the Earth Faction. It consisted of mostly grasslands and rocky terrain. Kohdaiku had the largest number of mountains in Rokans, in addition to having the largest mountains. The inhabitants of this continent were responsible for starting the war. It eventually joined together with Ankoka and Magchos to create the massive supercontinent Nenhygas during the Quad War.
Magchos
Magchos is one of the original four continents of Rokans, and the initial home of the Flayre Faction. It is widely recognized as having the warmest climate, in addition to the most deserts and volcanoes. Water was rare to find within the continent, and instead had multiple rivers of lava flowing throughout it. Magchos eventually joined together with Ankoka and Kojdaiku to create the massive supercontinent Nenhygas during the Quad War.
Sokohgen
Sokohgen, often referred to as Babylois, is one of the original four continents of Rokans, and one that existed for a longer period of time than the other three. It was the initial home of the Squallan Faction, who were neutral during the time of the Quad War. The continent itself is a large landmass floating within Rokans' lower atmosphere. During the time of the war, it was recognized as an educational center and a refuge for those wanting to escape the war below. It was eventually bombarded by a devastating attack by Infinic Juptois.
Nenhygas
Nenhygas is a supercontinent formed by the merging of Ankoka, Kohdaiku, and Magchos. The landscape of the original three continents, while somewhat distorted, were still present in Nenhygas. As such, it was split into three regions, each named after the original continents that merged to create it. Much of the remainder of the Quad War continued on the supercontinent. It eventually was broken apart, forming what are now the continents of North Nenhygas, South Nenhygas, and Neilo.
North Nenhygas
North Nenhygas is the largest of the four current continents. It was formed when Nenhygas was broken apart.
South Nenhygas
South Nenhygas is one of the current continents of Rokans. It was formed when Nenhygas was broken apart.
Neilo
Neilo is the smallest of the four current continents of Rokans. It was formed when Nenhygas was broken apart. Physically, Neilo is a chunk of the original Ankoka ripped out of the supercontinent of Nenhygas. It retains much of the features of the original continent. The sky above Neilo is consistently covered by a thick, black cloud that blocks most sunlight trying to reach the continent. It is the home of the Core Crevice, where Infinic Juptois has been sealed.
Neosokohgen
Neosokohgen is one of the current continents of Rokans. It is considered a successor to Sokohgen following its destruction. It is recognized as a place of refuge from the ongoing conflict on the continents below it.
Regions
Atlacia
Atlacia is a common term for the section of Rokans consisted of the planet's oceans and islands unclaimed by the Anko, Earth, and Fire Factions. It is the home of the Atlacian Faction. While there are small towns on some of the islands in Atlacia, most of the cities are located underwater.
Polar Light Caps
Ice Rings
The Ice Rings are small sections of solid ice that circle around the Polar Ice Caps, effectively acting as borders between them and Atlacia.
Major Landmarks
Ecology
Races
Rokans is inhabited mainly by humanoid creatures, each belonging to one of six factions: Anko, Atlacian, Earth, Flayre, Lumios, and Squall. The typical human is more common within the Anko and Lumios Factions. Those within the Earth and Fire Factions mostly take the form of reptilian or mammalian humanoids. Reptilian humanoids are present within the Atlacian Faction as well, but it mostly consisted of piscine and amphibian humanoids. The Squall Faction is mostly consisted of avian humanoids.

Theology
It is widely accepted by the inhabitants of Rokans that there are six major deities: Volks, God of Fire; Lacia, Goddess of the Oceans; Claiter, God of Earth and Nature; Sokohga, Goddess of the Sky; Solas, God of Light; and Trajodeas, God of Darkness. The six of them are believed to reside on Rokans' single moon. It is believed that at some point while Rokans was still a barren rock, these six deities fought each other for control of the planet. Their battle lasted for thousands of years, eventually ending in a complete draw between all six of them. The six of them then worked in cooperation to create Rokans in its original state. Lacia flooded the surface of the planet with a endless ocean. Claiter then rose sections of land above the surface of the water, creating the original four continents. He, Volks, Sokohga, and Trajodeas then shaped the four continents in their own images. Sokohgen was risen into the air by Sokohga in the process. It is believed that Claiter, Lacia, and Solas had a major hand in the creation of life on Rokans, while Volks, Sokohga, and Trajodeas had minor influence on the development of life within the continents of Ankoka, Magchos, and Sokohgen.
The gods kept their eyes on the events of the Quad War, avoiding direct involvement in the war as much as they could. However, when the Quad War resulted in the creation of the supercontinent Nenhygas, Claiter locked the shape of the supercontinent in place. This prevented any further changes to the physical shape of Nenhygas for the remainder of the Quad War. For another period of time, the gods did not have a hand in any changes during the Quad War. However, when they eventually noticed the decline in the Anko Faction, Trajodeas called for the creation of two achlymperists to help them regain their lost territory and get them out of the Quad War. The two beings created toward that end were Elevix Magnus and Infinic Juptois. However, when Juptois had defeated Magnus and split his soul from his body, they had a Soul Harvester retrieve Magnus's soul from Juptois. Claiter split Nenhygas after Juptois destroyed Sokohgen, creating the continents of North Nenhygas, South Nenhygas, and Neilo in the process. Trajodeas also restricted Juptois to Neilo as an added measure. And when Mephez Moorn had sided with Juptois, they sealed Juptois within the Core Crevice.
It is believed that the six of them had also created six more beings that retreated to another planet to act as protectors. Shortly before attacking Sokohgen, Juptois had traveled to said planet, killed four of the six, ripped the soul of a fifth out of its body, and raped the sixth.
