Age of Strife
Stundatel is ever changing, and during the Astera age the realms were nothing like today. No country or royal family, no people or language were the same as those of today. Due to the tumultuous nature of this time, there are few reliable sources. Scholars of The Asteron wrote of a few large kingdoms vying for power in the region, but the legacy of these entities are lost to the sands of time.

Age of Magic
Some time after the fall of The Asteron, the arcane secrets of magic were discovered in the lordship of king Valemar VI by his head-scholar Wrach. The colossal implications of magic was realised immediately and the craft spread across the continent like wildfire. It did not take long before every king had a court mage. The discovery of magic led to an increase in urbanisation and thus to the solidification of the borders and cultures we know today. Countries come and go quicker than ever before, but the peoples have in later times begun forming more of a unified identity within cultural and linguistic groups, leading to less chaotic borders than in ages past

Geography
Stundatel is a continent with climates ranging from frozen tundra in the north and steppes in the east, to humid coasts in the west and lush forests around the large inland sea that dominates the geography. The Portinian peninsula in the southwest has a predominantly hilly terrain and is covered in snaking rivers searching their way to the sea. The peninsula in the southeast is split into an arid and a humid side by the mountain chain running down the centre.
