Northern Ynev

Hi,

 

According the legends Ynev was two continent in the begining of the planning phase. Originally Ynev  was made for Ad&d campaigns, I think there were two longer. When the makers prepared the publishing the first M.A.G.U.S. rpg, the two setting merged into one huge project.

So south ynev is a renaissance mediterranean flavoured setting, north is a classic fantasy. The main fractions are Toron and its allies versus the Northern Alliance. Bleck Flags versus Red Flags.

Toron is  like the byzantine empir, they try to keep the ancient Kyr traditions, laws and order, but they became decadent during the ages. The toronian allies and wielder of the Black Flags are the following: Abassis (weak fragmented power), Eastern Barbarians (classic conanian folk), Gro-Ugon (greenskin empire), Enosuke islands (japan of ynev), City State of Alidax ( Ruled by Wiches), Ediomad (Aquires! :), demonlike monsters ), Rowon (more dark figures), Felloship of the Sword (dark knights of  the which goddes of Orwella)

In the other side there are the countries of the Northern Alliance. Two states are bordered with Toron: Tiadlan and Dwyll Union. Tiadlan is empire of oriental culture, but the paople are not asian, asian style people are in Niare, but they are neutral. In the Dwyll Union rules Ranil the God of Sun. They have brave Sun knights. Erigow is the central and leader of the Alliance. Similar classic human cultures are Eren and Haonwell. Ilanor is nomadic horsemen culture. Doran City the order of the mages and Tarin, the empire of the Dwarves.
Distance ally is Sirenar, the northern elves. 

The leaders of these countries wields the Red Banners.

Further neutral areas:

-Anuria, home of Dragon Raiders.

-Cursed Lands, the result of the war between Kyria and Orwella

-Tongoria, shaman traditions

-Northern City States, like the southern.

-Alidar, they trains curtisans for kings and other rulers

-Khare, City of tricky clocks, mechanics and gunpowder

-Riegoy City States, common fantasy towns.

 The most significant place in Ynev:

-Erion, City of Adventurers

Next time this place will be the main topic.

Thank You for the attantion!

South Ynev

Hi,

South Ynev is about Pyarron and Kran, the white and the dark side of the area. Pyarron represents all of the humanity, civilisation, Kran is the opposite side. There are four category what are describe the ynevian alignment: Life, Order, Death, Chaos. Pyarron is the Order and Life, Kran represents Death and Order.
Kran lies in the western side of South Ynev, the Ring Mountain is its border, well secured, because of its position and because of the dark forces from the otherworld. Assassin clans, aquirs, kranian legions defends the border. 13 Warlock rules this dark empire, their leader is Shackalor the mightiest warlock demigod. The only and prefered religion is here the faith of Ranagol. This god is ruthless and  declares superiority.
Kran has several neighbours. In south there is Elfendel, the ancient home of the elves. Next to, there lies Yllinor. This country was formed by Chei King, a hero from Illinor, his people are proud nomadic horsemen. They moved from the far north to fight against Kran alongside Chei.  There are in the neighbourhood the shield countries: Syburr, Enysmon, Sempyer. Founded by local nomad nation, they are strong partner of the Pyarron Alliance.
Following Pyarronic states are the following: Old Pyarron, New Pyarron, Predoc, Edorl, Viadomo, Lar-Dor, Six Cities Alliance. Old Pyarron is a monestary, New Pyarron is the central of the religious life, and the capital of the Alliance. Predoc and Edorl provides the food and the infantry troops. Shield States are the cavalry, Viadomo provides knights and paladins, Lar-Dor trains the magic-users, Six Cities maintains the fleet.
The main ally of the Pyarron is Shadon, this is an order aligned empire with strict monotheist religion: Faith of Domvik. They persecutes witchery and other black magic. There are inquisitors who make the persecutions.
In the opposite side of the Sea of Galleons there is the "brother" country of Shadon: Gorvik. This empire was founded by renegade shadonians. Until now they corrupted and converted to Ranagol. In this county there is anarchy and chaos. They are the italo-renesaince assasin nations. Fantasy Borgias.
Near there is the Taba el Ibara desert with several "arabic" state. El Sobiar, El Abadana, etc, with all of stuff what a fantasy arabic region can have: desert, oasis, camels, nomadic maruders, mighty and mysterious sand elves.  There are two special nations: The ammunds, egypt style humans, they often sacrifice other humans, the other nation is the janns, intellectual ancient arab style people hiding among the current arabs. The common arab nation is in Ynev is the Dzsadd (Jadd).
Between the desert and Kran laying the Southern City States. DMs can put anything what he or she likes, it is a set of anything.
The northern border of south Ynev is the Sheral Mountains, huge peaks, totally inhabitant. Only at the foot of a mountain there is a jungle with tribes of small black people. In the other side of Sheral there lays Northern Ynev, but is another story.

Thank You for the attention!

History of Ynev

Introduction of Ynev

Ynev is one of the 3 continent of the Satralis planet. Can be devided into two part: North and South Ynev, because originally these parts were two different setting. During the creation of MAGUS rpg the creators put them together as a one continent northern and southern parts.

History

This post is based on the the early version of the history of Ynev. You can find here the original version in hungarian: History of Ynev (hungarian)
I do not want to present the whole story because it would be too long. I show you the main events. There are 8 eras in Ynev. About the 1-4 eras we know almost nothing. The 5th era was the time of  the elven and kyr empire. 6th era was the aftermath of the kyr empire and the night of the humankind in south. 7th era is the ascension of Pyarron and the Northern Alliance.
 The official time of the game is the end of the 7th era. So the timeline of the game is based on the pyarron calendar. The 1st year in this calendar is the year of the foundation of Pyarron City. The Kyr empire was found XVIII thousand years before Pyarron. After many years and wars the kyr nation ruled the northern part of the continent. Approximately 3000 years before pyarron (bp) Orwella the witch goddes of the kyrs attacked the empire with her 40000 orks, but the kyrs defeated and banished her. But the humankind got a powerful enemy. After several years the Kyr empire had fallen and the empire of  Godora was the next powerful force in Ynev.
A lot of changes were made after this in the 6th era: the Dawa the empire of mages founded, the last of the kyr mightys were left, the Ryek demonic empire founded. Both of them has fallen before the 7th era. City of Doran was built, library of Enrawell founded (and Erigow), foundation of Niare, Tiadlan and the Northern three (Eren, Gianag,Haonwell).
In south humans built City of Pyarron, what determined and ruled the 7th era. After this in 170 Toron the worst enemy of the Northern Alliance was found. In 279 Khare the city of thechnocracy was established More countries were founded: Ilanor the horsemen, Enosuke, Erion in the ruins of Godora, Eastern barbarians settled near the Quirron sea, Dwarfs were formed Tarin. In 1249 the Northern Allience was formed, from this many wars were fought between the Alliance and Toron and its allies. The leaders of the Northern Allience carries the red banners, Toron and its allies carries the black banners. 14 Banner war were fought with changing warluck, the status quo is stable between the opposite sides in present day (around anno pyarron 3700)
In south pyarron religion was expanded in the first millenial and took over the leadership from the kyr religion. Before Pyarron the other powerful empire was found: Shadon. In shadon a monotheist religion is the ruler: Faith of Domvik.
After the foundation of the city state more allies formed, Six City Alliance, Predoc, Edorl. In 1000 ap the Pyarron State Alliance is formed between Pyarron and its allies. The Godon empire is fallen because of the practics of the evil empire of Kran. Kran is the most powerful enemy of the humankind in South Ynev. Around 1200: First nomad invasion. After this Pyarron founded Syburr, the first shield state. (Against the nomads and Kran.) After this mysterious fire mages founded Ordan near Erion. 1400: Nasti nomads converted to Pyarron religion and they founded Enysmon the second shield state. In 1445 a renegade Domvik priest left Shadon and founded Gorvik the holy land, later Gorvik aproached Kran and converted to the faith of Ranagol, the god of evil Kran.
1500: Sempyer the third shield state liberated. In 1693 the 3 shield state joined the  Pyarron State Allience. Viadomo the unbreakable fortress of  Dreina, the goddes of law was join to the City State Alliance.
2647: The White Lodge founded a wizard school in Lar-Dor. In the 2nd millenial Gorvik has a lot of inner war and the country fragmented to five domain.
In the 3rd millenial the first significant event was, that Moorose Chei killed one of the Thirtheens of Kran leaders, Krihelor. After many adventures Chei founded Yllinor in 3592.
3673-85: The Invasion: Kran and the nomads ruined the pyarron civilization. After Pyarron renewed and built a new city in the shore of the Sea of Galleys. Old Pyarron remains as a monastery. After this another enemy raised in the sands of Taba el Ibara: Amhe Ramun...
