Magic World (Mundus Magicus)

Old map of Mundus Magicus
 ‘Mundus Magicus’. “Another World”. The world that millennium years ago diverged from the ‘old’ world, Earth. A constructed spirit world overlapping on the surface of Mars.

Total population (mages): 670,000,000. The humans settled in the North in the area surrounding the capital Megalo-Mesembria. There are 11 “Gate” installations (Gateports) with corresponding sites on both worlds which allow travel between them at specific dates and times.

There is much discord between the natives of Magicus, the Hellas Empire in the south, and the new human settlers, the Mesembrina Confederacy in the North; originally, the peoples under Hellas were much more numerous and widespread.

Ariadne

The largest Independent Academic City-State in Magicus, literally a city-sized academy. Named for the daughter of King Minos from Greek mythology, Ariadne. Located in west of Hellas.

In the past, Ariadne was one of Hellas’s city-states. By the strength of magic army, Ariadne tried to liberate from Hellas and success. Now, Ariadne become neutral power intended to support academic freedom, and managed by the Knights of the Ariadniensis Magus Ordo.


Hellas Empire (Imperium Helladis)

‘Imperium Helladis’, the territories and various city-states under the control of Hellas. With the capital is Hellas Imperial Capital, this country constructed in Nyx Olympia (now, Mount Olympia). Populated mainly by the animalistic humanoid natives (demi-humans) of Magicus.

Not much information gathered about Hellas Empire yet.


Mesembrina Confederacy (Confederatio Mesembrina)

‘Confederatio Mesembrina’, an association of human settlements scattered around the Northern territories, led by Megalo-Mesembria shorthand M.M.. The leading power in the Mesembrina Confederacy. Probably the first human settlement in the North.
Capital City of Megalomesembria

A Gate is located here, bridging Wales and Megalo-Mesembria.

Mesembrina Confederacy controlled by the M.M. Senate. The greatest military superpower in the magic world.

(A reference is also made to “the Megalo-Mesembria Trust Territories”, clarification pending.)


Kingdom of Vespertatia (Regnum Vespertatiae)

‘Regnum Vespertatiae’, the “cradle of civilisation” of Mundus Magicus. Falls within the Mesembrina Confederacy. Its capital is Ostia, the Ancient Royal Capital of Vespertatia. A giant airborne city built on hundreds of floating islands supported by the natural magic of the area. A Gate is located here; the corresponding port in Mundus Vetus is unknown (considering of M.M. gateport that connect to Wales, gateport in Ostia probably connected with somewhere in Far East).

As an aftereffect of the final battle of the Schismatic War (Bellum Schismaticum), the city suffered a disastrous 50-kilometre “Wide-Area Magic Dissipation Phenomenon,” which caused the collapse and destruction of the city. This was indirectly brought about by the last Queen of Ostia, Arika Anarkhia Entheofushia; however, thanks to her efforts all but 3% of its inhabitants were evacuated in time. This zone became a barren waste that could not support magic.
