World of Euphorica

A wiki about the World of Euphorica.



The World of Euphorica is a fantasy setting created using the Neverwinter Nights toolset. It is not a persistent world but rather a collection of modules that will make up campaigns for players to adventure through.

Introduction
Euphorica is a rich and full world spanning seven continents, several islands, two oceans, and a vast subterrian. It is a world roughly the size of Earth's moon with elves, dwarves, orcs, goblins, dragons, wizards, assassins, ancient ruins, lost gods and much more.

History
A long time ago the Ancient Races ruled the world but soon their kind became extinct. Then beings known as the Elder and the Dark Light came to Euphorica. They populated the world with beings created in their likeness. The Elder was the embodiment of good and the Dark Light was the embodiment of evil.

It was like this for thousands of years until one day the Elder and the Dark Light evolved into immortals and left the world vowing to someday return.

Before they left the Elder formed the Royal Republic and wrote the Books of Enlightenment for their people to follow. The Dark Light, wrote the Books of Darkness, and formed the Chaos Hordes.

Now, most inhabitants of Euphorica see them as gods. However, recently the Ancient Races have reappeared from extinction in the form of the Dragon Clans causing more conflict and tension.

Presently, three major factions (the Royal Republic, the Chaos Hordes, and the Dragon Clans) squabble over the rulership of the world.

Geography
Euphorica provides several areas for players to adventure and explore. The continents are grouped into three major areas: the Known Lands governed by the Royal Republic, the Savage Lands dominated by the Chaos Hordes, and the Unknown Lands ruled by the Dragon Clans.

There are two oceans named the Prime Ocean and the Capital Ocean. They are home to pirates, outlaws and sea monsters.

In addition, below Euphorica's surface, is a huge underground series of tunnels and caverns known as the Underworld and is rumored to be home to demons and the undead.

Races
The races of Euphorica can be divided into three groups: the Ancient, Cultured and Chaos races.

The Ancient Races are those creatures that are indigenous to Euphorica. They were created through evolution. These creatures can be both fierce and kind. They are Dragons, Giants, Trolls, and Ogres.

The Cultured Races are those creatures that were created by the Elder. Despite being among the bravest and most noble races of Euphorica they are prone to greed and corruption. They include Dwarfs, Gnomes, Elves, Half-Elves, Halfings, and Humans.

The Chaos Races are those creatures that were created by the Dark Light. These are the foulest, vilest, and most blood thirsty races of Euphorica. They are the Drow, Duergar, Gnolls, Goblins, Kobolds, Lizard Men, and Orcs.

Monsters
Euphorica’s Monsters can be divided into six groups: Animals, Constructs, Elementals, Insects, Planar, Shapechangers, and the Undead.

Animals are those creatures most common to the world. They include Bears, Birds, Canines, Felines, Beasts of Burden and others.

Constructs are mindless automatons created by powerful wizards and master craftsmen. They include Golems, Horrors, Guardians, and others.

Elementals are spirits of the elements, and supernatural beings composed of pure energy. They include Air, Earth, Fire, and Water Elementals.

Those belonging to the Insect group include Beetles, Spiders, Ants and others.

Planar creatures are those not from this world or dimension usually brought to this world through magic. Those that come from the planes of good and include Celestials and Archons. Those from the planes of evil include Balors, Fiends, and others. Lesser Planar beings include Imps, Guasts, and Mephits.

Shapechangers are cretaure able to shapechange and include werewolves, wererats, and others.

The Undead are types of corporeal and non-corporeal entities who were once alive, died, and then continued to exist in the world of the living. They include Ghouls, Ghosts, Vampires, Mummies, Skeletons, Liches, and others.

Religion
There are two major religious factions. Those who worship the Elder and believe in the Books of Enlightenment and those who follow the Dark Light and the Book of Darkness.

The Books of Enlightenment are a set of ideals and teachings written by the Elder. The Elder were entities that came to Euphorica long ago and created the Cultured Races in their likness. There are four books one written by each Elder.

Most humans and halflings follow the writtings of the Starbearer, the Prince of Hearts but some, especialy those not allaigned with the Royal Republic, follow the word of the Demon, Lord of the Wastes.

Elves and Dwarves follow the teachings of the Celestial, Scion of the Cosmos but the Dugaur and Drow follow the enscriptions of Beast King, Lord of the Hunt.

Because of the diversity of the Books writtings the races of Euphorica are divided. However, they do coexist in the most major cities. This has lead to the creation of the Council of Champions, a group of elite soldiers and adventurers willing to put their differences aside for the glory and honor of all the teaching of Elder.

The Book of Darkness is the written word and teachings of the Dark Light. The Dark Light is an evil entity that was banished by the Elder long ago. Because of this it became angree, bitter and jealous of the Elder and vowed to destroy that which they created.

When the Dark Light came to Euphorica it created the Chaos Races in its likness. The Chaos Races rely on lies, greed, corruption and intemidation to further their goals.
