While the size of the presently-discovered Aloria is comparable to real-world Europe, the distinct landscapes, climates, cultures, and races that cover the landscape are indicative of the world's dramatic diversity and the fantastic sights one would encounter when traveling. The snowy peaks of [[Ellador]] contrast the endless sands of [[Farah'deen]], and the [[Yang-Tzu Islands]] rival the [[Regalian Archipelago]] in size and beauty. Take a moment to read up on the incredible world of Aloria, and the fantastic lands within.
[[Aloria]]'s world is vast and varied. The snowy peaks of [[Ellador]] contrast the endless sands of [[Farahdeen]], all surrounded by the oceans of the world. Accompanying these distinctive climates and geographical features are a wide variety of [[Cultures]] and [[Races]] that cover the landscape, which emphasize the world's dramatic diversity and the fantastic sights one would encounter when traveling.

|intro = To many Regalian imperialists, Corontium is seen as the center of Aloria. Indeed, the area functions as a pivotal continental region in the middle of everything, and is well-connected with the rest of the world by diplomacy, politics, war, and trade. Corontium is home to the Regalian Empire, arguable the most powerful in Aloria, and the people of the archipelago owe their mastery of the world in part to the location they reside in.

|intro = Home to nearly all Nelfin subspecies, Daen was the birthplace of the once-sprawling Elven Empire. Possessing bountiful natural resources, such as vast jungles and fertile land, Aloria's various factions have wasted no time in attempting to divide the continent up between themselves, from Ailor colonies like Ithania sprouting up to create their own widespread image and culture, to the recent Varran efforts to establish themselves as their own power, even as far as Orcs competing with wildlife and Avanthar alike for the glory of their kind. A far cry from its imperial past, the Daen of the modern age is Aloria's stewing pot, mixing as many races and cultures as possible into one ancient land.

|intro = Farah'deen is a desert landmass to the far east of Regalia, and is occupied by the Songaskian and Qadir races. Farah'deen is host to a variety of nations and states. The most notable of these is the Songaskian Masaya, but others such as the Qadir Hadrityas reside in the ever-shifting dune seas, stalwart and resolute in their stance. The recent Regalian invasion, as well as the Songaskian Civil War, have left the traces of civilization on its borders war-ridden and devastated as entire towns have been put to sword. Today, Farah'deen is experiencing a time of intrepid peace; one that may remain, or may spill out into bloodshed, as it has before.

|intro = Most recently known for the Chrysant Wars, the ancient home of the Slizzar has seen much conflict in its history. From the refugee Allar taking on leadership by the native Slizzar in Hadar to the rise of Humans as warlords and kings, much of Hadaria's history is steeped in war and manipulation. However, the recent surfacing of Mekett and Maiar in the continent have introduced yet more races to the continent, bringing together cultures that, whilst physically close, are ideologically far apart. Tropical, populous, and rich in aquatic life, the conflict-riddled past of Hadaria entirely betrays its idyllic appearance and exotic cultural practices.
