WIP
Olgard is a world found outside Alathra. It is the home realm and birthplace of Isenhiem and where Hellsna came from. The dimension is impossible to enter without divine permission. The world consists of a single, large continent that is suspended in a sky. Below it is an endless ocean with no known depth.
The continent is split into five parts. Each part is a separate kingdom with the fifth ruling the others. These Kingdoms are:
- The Kingdom of the Northern Winter
- The Kingdom of the Eastern Spring
- The Kingdom of the Southern Summer
- The Kingdom of the Western Autumn
- The Kingdom of the Central World
The Kingdoms
Each segment of Olgard is ruled by some sort of ruler that are all under the rule of a singular person. This person would then answer to the pantheon of gods who rule the entire world.
The Kingdom of the Northern Winter

The Kingdom is in a constant state of Winter with weekly snowfall occurring. The Kingdom is also the most dangerous as the mines lead to a vast network of caves with hives in them. The people of the Kingdom are considered the most hardened of Olgard.
The ruler of the Kingdom is the Northern Queen. She has been described as a strong and powerful leader who should not be reckoned with or the wrath of ice and snow. She once had a daughter known as the Princess of Holly but she was killed by Isenhiem in a deal.
Despite being the ruler of the cold north, Elseir favours her and gives her his protection.

The ruler of the Kingdom is the Western king. He hides himself away and keeps to his books so not much is known about him. He has a son called Prince maple.
The Kingdom of the Central World

The Kingdom was home to King Isenhiem, first of his name. However, after his sin he was cast out. This left a large power vacuum.
The king would normally answer the gods and their demands. These demands would be passed down to the other rulers and then the people.
The Mythology
Olgard hosts a wide range of stories and myths. From the creation of the universe to the end of reality.
Position in the universe
while the people of Olgard don't think themselves as the centre of the universe, they do see themselves as the front line against the tyrants and other evils.
Mortality and self
The people of Olgard are said to live for 200-300 years. Despite looking human they class themselves as a separate sub species. Unlike humans, "Olgardians" are more attuned to the Other and Arcane powers. They also can't get cold.
Royalty and Elders are different to the normal people of Olgard. Those of royal blood can live upto 500 years and can perform stronger types of magic than what others can. Elders on the other hand can live upto 700 years+ with the oldest of the elders being of unknown age. They are the most attuned to the worlds of magic and have even been rumored to change reality.
The people of Olgard view life simply, they are born, they live the best they can and then they die. It is rare for an Olgardian to fear death as they welcome it due to their long life. Oddly enough they don't believe in the afterlife.
