The magical continent of Eslo is about 200,500,000 km², basically 5 times the size of Earth's Asia.
In addition to the mainland, there are also two large islands considered part of the mainland, the sun island to the east and the draconic island to the west, in addition to thousands of small islands.
---------
Main forces on the continent; 7 empires, orc zone, draconic island, golden coin country(union of merchants), 109 little kingdoms
7 empires =
1 - Bonfront Empire (human);
location = it is located northeast of the continent, to the north it borders the Orc zone, to the east is the sea near the island of the sun which is dominated by the empire of the rising sun, to the west and south it borders small kingdoms
population and geography = it has a population of just over 300 million, it has a fertile central area with mines of magic crystals, it has the 4 normal seasons but in winter the northern region suffers and therefore it is the poorest region
Form of government = absolute monarchy
Strength = generally ranked third among the empires, it is said that the empress entered the tenth order and became a saint, but no one knows for sure
age = 3057 years
curiosity = The current empress rules for 70 years, she hates the harem and despite not prohibiting it, she made it clear her distaste for nobles with more than 1 wife, in her government only nobles with 1 wife managed to raise the noble title, in the last 70 years the rate of nobles with multiple wives decreases more and more, although they still keep maids for sexual relief
--
2 - empire of the rising sun (human);
location = it is a maritime country, dominates the great island of the sun and other small islands to the east, but due to having little territory and large population, at least 1 time in every century it makes a great invasion of the continent in search of conquering lands
population and geography = 500 million population, your island is fertile but it has few iron mines so your armies usually use magic leather armor
Form of government = shogunate
Strength = fifth strongest empire, but has the most developed navy, the shogun is a strong ninth order magician
age =2900 years
curiosity = It is the only empire where the same family has ruled the shogunate since its founding, the throne has remained firmly in the hands of the Minamoto family, in all other empires, although the empire remained, there were at least two different royal families
-------
3 - Empire of light (human);
location = it is literally in the exact center of the continent, it has the most fertile, richest and best lands on the continent
population and geography = 400 million inhabitants, rich plains, fertile lands and mountains that serve as protection and provide wealth
Form of government = oligarchy (emperor+pope)
Strength = considered the strongest in the entire continent, although it is in decline
age = +5000 years, the only force created during the age of chaos that is still active
curiosity = It is the only place where slavery is prohibited, although the religion of light seems to be the generic villain, its founder followed the principle of individual freedom, with his strength he ensured that even the union of merchants could not interfere
------
4 - Umayyad Empire (human);
location = south of the continent, the south is the hottest and driest place and therefore has large deserts
population and geography = 140 million, much of it is desert but they can extract the black magic liquid from the ground, this liquid is called black elixir and it greatly increases physical and magic strength
Form of government = sultanate
Strength = ranked sixth among empires
age = 3780 years
curiosity = its founder and first sultan Khalid fought in more than 1000 wars and won them all, remained undefeated until his death
----------------
5 - flower empire (human);
location = continental southeast, has the second largest flora and natural forest on the continent
population and geography = 270 million, rich in natural resources such as water, food, wood and salt, unfortunately it has few magical mines
Form of government = parliamentary monarchy
Strength = the seventh and weakest empire
age = 985 years
curiosity = the newest empire, it was founded by runaway slaves, its founder was a powerful magician of the flower element, they say he remains alive today somewhere in the great palace
-----------
6 - Empire Beast King (half beast);
location = western plains
population and geography = 800 million, being the most populous known
Form of government = Beast King
Strength = the fourth most powerful
age = 2100 years
curiosity = contrary to what one might think, the first race to unify the tribes and form the empire was the race of crows, its founder was a rare mage of the dark element, unfortunately after his death the race of crows lost its crown and now the empire has the lion family as an imperial race
--------------------
7 - Empire of the Divine Tree (elves);
location = Great western forest, also in the west and bordering the western plains
population and geography = 70 million, the least populous , located in the largest forest on the continent, with rich magic mines and magic woods
Form of government = Queen of the Elves, however there are also elements of democracy, as all elf queens have to compete with each other for the position that lasts 100 years
Strength = the second most powerful empire, although some think they are the strongest due to having the most mages on the continent
age = 4750 years
curiosity = there are different types of elves, forest elves, dark elves, white elves, blood elves, all these types had elf queens in power, but the dark elves are the ones that most elected elf queens, below the dragon race only the elves are the second race with the highest magic affinity
-------------------
orc zone ;
location = the occupied orc zone throughout the north, the largest and coldest and poorest continental region
population and geography = if you join all the tribes there must be between 400 and 500 million orcs, the north is poor and the orcs don't produce or work they live by looting
Strength = there are small, medium, large and super tribes, if one day they are all united, they would undoubtedly have enough power to challenge the empire of light
age = tribes are created, annexed or destroyed almost every year, super tribes are older than 3000 years
curiosity = according to legend before the age of chaos there was the great orc empire, its strength was something even dragons didn't want to offend
-----------------
draconic island;
location = large island west of the mainland
population and geography = impossible to know, no scholar ever came back alive
Strength = there are at least 3 confirmed holy dragons (tenth order), black dragon Salazar, blue dragon Oeli and poison dragon Orochi
age = always existed and probably always will exist
curiosity = Dragons are the race with the longest lifespan and greatest magical affinity, their longevity is so great that the Poison Dragon Orochi is known as the only being that lived during the Age of Chaos and is still alive
----------------
golden coin country;
location = located in the center of the continent, this country is very small and barely has 5% of the area of an empire, but it is where all the big merchants live
population and geography = 8 to 10 million, small but very rich country
Strength = the great merchants have the largest mercenary elites on the continent, troops of different races live there with the merchants' gold, their strength is of an empire level but the monetary influence is the greatest weapon of this country
age = 4999 years, being the second oldest national force besides the light empire
curiosity = during the age of chaos, war and famine were all over the continent, after the chaos ended, big traders came together to offer reconstruction services, sell food and resources, in few years they became one of the forces most influential
-----------
109 little kingdoms;
abstract = there are 109 small countries, but this number is not exact, as new countries are born and others die, they spread across the continent, live in the breaches of empires and pray to god not to be invaded, their strength is low nothing compared to forces described above
No empire usually expands much to annex these small countries, it's not for lack of will, but because the 7 empires often coexist and prevent each other from breaking the delicate balance, so when an empire shows great expansionist will it usually has defense coalitions between these small kingdoms with the help of other empires
========
Known eras;
primordial age = dates 50 thousand years before, there are only few legends about this time, they say that saints and demigods existed in great numbers but a war between them managed to break the world into several pieces and since then no demigods appeared and saints became rare
era of chaos = 5 thousand years before, according to the few historical sources more than 5 thousand years ago the continent Eslo was invaded by aliens who came in flying ships, they were very strong and for the first time all races came together to expel the invaders
However the war was so destructive that all the old forces collapsed giving rise to new ones, with the empire of light being the oldest.
Some sages believe that the invaders came from another continent, in the legends of the primordial era the world broke apart, that is, probably the great continent broke into several pieces, these invaders must have been from another piece.
Even today, many warriors and mages get together to explore the sea, but it is very difficult to survive the sea monsters.
As for creating flying boats similar to the invaders? no one ever did
