 Avishraa is a fantasy setting of a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fantasy|highish]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_fantasy|darkish]] flavor. Medieval-level technology coexists with [[concept:empathic_sense|psionics]] and several forms of magic, some of which are [[chosen:|inborn]] or [[concept:doomtouched|granted by cosmic beings]] while [[concept:enchantment|others can be learned by anyone]] with the time and resources to do so.
-This last kind is becoming increasingly widespread and parts of the world stand on the brink of what is, essentially, the magitech equivalent of an industrial revolution. The world is in ferment for other reasons, as well - the discovery of [[avishraa:geography:enarri:|new]] [[avishraa:geography:talmat:|continents]], the newfound [[concept:glyphic_teleportation|ability to reach other worlds]], rising tensions between species, political realignments, and mages responding to eons of mistrust and hate with [[culture:organization:hzataalar|plans to remake the world]].

 Avishraa is, in short, on the edge of titanic change. And like most such changes, it threatens to crush those in its path.

   * The [[orghysh:]] are bipedal beings, more distantly related to the other two; they are communal and fairly strong, but have a low population and stone-age technology.
-The [[Chosen:]] - those that have inherited magical ability - are not so much a species as a set of people with an inherited condition. They are overwhelmingly takmar, except for a very small number of xtauh descended from an unprecedented pairing of a Chosen takma and a xtauh.

 The [[concept:Doomtouched]] can be of any intelligent species. They have a narrower set of magical ability than the Chosen, granted by a [[extrinsic:hunger|terrible power]], whose [[extrinsic:|siblings]] are also involved in the history of Avishraa, whether as gods, demons, or from behind the scenes.

-[[Avishraa:]] is in fact a large moon of a gas giant, smaller and with lighter gravity than Earth. In some ways it is remarkably Earthlike - in its variety of landforms, lifeforms, and climates - while, in others, it is radically different, like its lengthy day-night cycles. The three known native intelligent species all exist on the continent of [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:start]], which until very recently none of them had traveled very far beyond, though even by itself it is quite spacious.

 But in the last few cycles, vessels have finally crossed the oceans to the west and south, finding new lands - and linking books have opened up the paths to other worlds, possibly even other realities, entirely.
 ===== When =====
-Ages ago, most of takmakind was under the dominance of the [[avishraa:community:empire:|Sixfold Empire]]. Throughout the [[history:Cloud Era:]] that followed the Empire's fall, civilization has been fractured into countless small polities, city-states and mini-empires, with few domains achieving dominance for more than a few generations at a time. Among the xtauh, the cities of the north have been cast into a wide-ranging economic collapse in the aftermath of the [[history:cloud_era:Gate Wars]], only recently recovering and beginning to notice the plight of their southern brethren at the hands of the takmar.

 Now, at last, new and dynamic powers are rising, buoyed by advancements in technology and enchanting and access to new nodes of resources. It remains unclear whether the new era to come is one of glory or ruin.
