Editing Arena of Storms (section)

==The World==

===The Arena===

A large and variegated section of the world cordoned off by the Wall, a gigantic structure which was, according to some accounts, erected at the wishes of the God of Storms to prevent mortals from approaching Paradise. It is home to all races except the Reptiloids, who inhabit the Sands Vast and Burning between the Wall and Paradise. The gods view the affairs of the Arena as a kind of game which they join or leave with little thought to the long-lasting consequences of these actions. They often play favorites with one tribe or another, or will aid a tribe to interfere by proxy with another god's chosen people.

High above the earth of the Arena lies suspended the Sun-Dragon, who glows bright at day and dims at night - it is said the moon is a dragon egg. Legends differ on what will happen when the egg hatches, some tell of a wonderful paradise when the Arena is defended by twin dragons from outside intervention while others forebode of a nightmarish existence of eternal daylight called the Ever-Day - as such differing and conflicting cults have formed that commit rituals to encourage their end-goal sometimes involving sacrifice.

The Arena is vast, with a variety of environs within it. It is coldest at the middle, and warmer as one approaches the edges. At the center of the Arena is Mount Beartooth, home of the God of Ice, which is located on the Frozen Sea, which borders on the Great Sea, which extends to the Wall and takes up one third of the Arena. The Great Sea contains the Ymargerrous Isles, home of the Cyclopes. The rest of the Arena is covered mostly by jungle and forest, with some plains and steppes.

===The Corporeal Paradise===
A pleasant, plentiful land of eternal springtime, free of natural hardships. The home of most of the gods when they desire to take corporeal forms. Some gods reside elsewhere most of the time because of their dislike or fear of the God of Storms, who is the de facto ruler of Paradise. Paradise is the location of the Sacred Orchards, wherein grow the Apples of Life that grant the gods their longevity and allow them to maintain their powers. Mortals and Demigods have attempted on several occasions to gain access to Paradise, but none have been successful.

===The Underworld===
A mysterious realm deep below the surface of the world. It is inhabited by the souls of the dead, the Goddess of the Underworld, and the Titans (the creators of the gods) and Demons (spiritual beings opposed to the gods' love of corporeal existence) who were defeated by the gods in ages past. The Volgyn live under the surface as well, not deep enough to be in the Underworld, but still deep enough for the Titans and Demons to communicate with them.
