'''Neilo''' is the smallest of the four current continents of Rokans, isolated within the planet's eastern hemisphere. It was formed when Nenhygas was broken apart. Physically, Neilo is a large 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. It is also the home of those who have allied themselves with Infinic Juptois.

Approximately 3000 years had passed since the introductions of humans to the planet. They remained somewhat isolated from each other, and as a result, there was no conflict between any of the factions. But eventually, the leader of the Earth Faction had looked up the continents of Ankoka and Magchos, seeing the two as a possibility to expand their territory. Within months, the Earth Faction had created land bridges to the two continents. Upon doing so, they proceeded to attack the Anko and Flayr Factions, claiming territory where they had won battles. This had effectively gotten both factions furious at the Earth Faction, and both factions soon declared war on the Earth Faction. At the same, the land bridges that the Earth Faction had created cut through Atlacia, effectively taking territory away from the Atlacian Faction as well.

This led to the alliance eventually disbanding, and with the Earth Faction still fighting against them, led to the four factions fighting each other in a massive war that came to be known as the '''Quad War'''. As the progressed, the landscape of the planet changed even further, eventually reaching a point where the continents of Ankoka, Kohdaiku, and Magchos had merged together into the large supercontinent of Nenhygas. It was at this point that Claiter locked the shape of Nenhygas in place, preventing any further shifts in the landscape. It was on Nenhygas that the Quad War continued for several hundreds of years.

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

Main Article: [[{{{1}}}]]

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, in which there were very little lighting. Most of the settlements of the Anko Faction were built in these locations to avoid detection. It eventually joined together with Ankoka and Magchos to create the massive supercontinent Nenhygas during the Quad War.

Kohdaiku

Main Article: [[{{{1}}}]]

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

Main Article: [[{{{1}}}]]

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 mostly had multiple rivers of lava flowing throughout it. The inhabitants were built to be able thrive in these conditions, and thus many of their settlements were built in these deserts or just miles away from volcanoes. Magchos eventually joined together with Ankoka and Kojdaiku to create the massive supercontinent Nenhygas during the Quad War.

Sokohgen

Main Article: [[{{{1}}}]]

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

Main Article: [[{{{1}}}]]

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

Main Article: [[{{{1}}}]]

North Nenhygas is the largest of the four current continents, located within the planet's western hemisphere. It was formed when Nenhygas was broken apart. Phyisically, it is the entirety of the original continent of Kohdaiku with small chunks of Magchos and Ankoka.

South Nenhygas

Main Article: [[{{{1}}}]]

South Nenhygas is one of the current continents of Rokans, located within the planet's western hemisphere and south of its equator. It was formed when Nenhygas was broken apart. Phyisically, it is a majority of the original continent of Magchos with a small chunks of Ankoka.

Neilo

Main Article: [[{{{1}}}]]

Neilo is the smallest of the four current continents of Rokans, isolated within the planet's eastern hemisphere. It was formed when Nenhygas was broken apart. Physically, Neilo is a large 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. It is also the home of those who have allied themselves with Infinic Juptois.

Neosokohgen

Main Article: [[{{{1}}}]]

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 and its redeveloped researching system, which includes computers.

Regions

Atlacia

Main Article: [[{{{1}}}]]

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

The Polar Light Caps are the polar ice caps of Rokans. They are known for their constantly cold climate and brilliant auroras. Despite being otherwise unbearable places to live it, they are home to several settlements of the Lumios Faction.

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. As a result, there are many settlements belonging to the Atlacian and Lumios Factions.

Major Landmarks

Within Neilo is the Core Crevice, a 6-mile fissure located in the center of the continent. It is the deepest crevice on the continents of Rokans, and, as a result of its depth and the constantly dark skies above the continent, the darkest. At the bottom of Core Crevice is where Infinic Juptois was sealed away. A large, black castle floats several feet in the air above Core Crevice.

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 available within all six factions, but 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. Between all six factions, there are at least 20 known races, 2 of them currently endangered.

Culture

Language

Technology

Rokain technology varies between different location of the planet. There is an existent trade system between North and South Nenhygas, Atlacia, and the Polar Ice Caps which allow for the spread of technology throughout these areas. However, by themselves, they vary greatly in technology. The inhabitants of North Nenhygas are the furthest behind despite being able to create a functioning radio system, railroads, and basic firearms. This is mainly the result of the continent being the most frequently targetted. The researching system on Neosokohgen includes the introduction of a somewhat basic form of Internet which currently is solely for database and educational services. The Atlacian Faction specializes in technology that benefits from the endless water around them. As a result, they have developed battleships and submarines, in addition to a power grid and weaponry that run off of hydroelectricity.

Neilo, on the other hand, is the most technologically advanced out of any location in Rokans. This has to do with the inhabitants either having gained technology from their allies in the other areas, stolen technology from their opposers at some point, or picked up a piece of technology from another planet, and in both cases reproduced and built off of it. As a result, they have the most advanced communication system on the planet (restricted to their own allies), a basic hologram system, and even interplanetary teleportation.

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.

Ankoka vs Kohdaiku vs Magchos vs Atlacia: The Quad War

Approximately 3000 years had passed since the introductions of humans to the planet. They remained somewhat isolated from each other, and as a result, there was no conflict between any of the factions. But eventually, the leader of the Earth Faction had looked up the continents of Ankoka and Magchos, seeing the two as a possibility to expand their territory.

It was at this point that Claiter locked the shape of Nenhygas in place, preventing any further shifts in the landscape. It was on Nenhygas that the Quad War continued for several hundreds of years. But as the war dragged on, it eventually became clear that the Anko Faction was beginning to lose the war.
