From the molten earth, three continents arose.
By the paws of Nyansius, the continent of
Nyanyam was forged. A land divided by the
Cat's Back Mountain range, it was the cradle of the world's first forms of life, all suitably cat-based.
Catnip, herbaceous shrubs, soon grows upon the volcanic soils of the continent. This is shortly followed by the appearance of the
Kitten's Obelisk, leading to a sudden population of infant
Felines. Being creatures dependent on their nonexistent mothers' milk, their short lives would likely be spent starving and mewling, were it not for the copious amounts of catnip that ensured that their lives were spent in pure ecstasy. Their corpses in turn fertilise the soil, which aids in the further spread of catnip around the world. Of course, the Catsbane Dogs that populate the verdant plains of Nyanyaan also have a hand in controlling the kitten population, though with the constant output of kittens from the Obelisk. Which is all for the better, as the sedating effect of catnip has ensured that few dogs are able to be effective hunters.
The continent of Nyanyam is split into three main regions. To the west is Felus, the land in which the Kitten's Obelisk is founded. Here, the majority of the continent's life is found. Splitting the continent are the Cat's Back Mountain Range, which is home to hardier varieties of Catnip and omnivorous Catsbane Dogs. The eastern lands of Ocelotonia are sparse with life, save for catnip and a Dogs.
The magma seas of the world are cooled and covered by the water seas of the
Undersea Obelisk. Global temperatures greatly cool and the amount of oxygen and hydrogen in the world increase tremendously, affecting the atmosphere.
To the south of Nyansius, the desert lands of
Izoa were formed. Covered in sand, thousands of metal varieties are found here in abundance. Upon it, various metal
Scorpions are brought into being and fill all sorts of ecological niches. Above all these species however are the
Metal Ones, humanoids made nominally of metal. Travelling as families or small clans, the Metal Ones feed on both the natural metal deposits of the world as well as the various types of scorpions of Izoa. As they soon discover, the metal they feed on directly change their own composition, with whole social systems being developed based off metal consumption. Many Metal Ones have also discovered how malleable their bodies are, some simply adding small decorations to their bodies, or outright converting their bodies to non-humanoid forms. Scorpion-like modifications are a popular choice.
Izoa is composed of the Al-Jazir to the south and Al-Wadij to the north. While Al-Jazir is covered with sand and the majority of the continent's life, Al-Wadij maintains surprisingly fertile soil, but is otherwise somewhat deterring to metalloid life due to higher humidity.
The
Law of Opposition comes into existence.All beings, great and small, are suddenly pitted into eternal combat against a foe of relatively equal power. While not immediate, the Law's effect soon comes into affect from the smallest microbe to the greatest scorpion. The denizens of Nyansius are mostly unaffected. Catnip lacks the adaptations to engage their rivals and kittens are too shortlived to meaningfully fight. Only the Dogs, sedate as they are, are able to fully feel the effects of the Law. Mainly, this takes the form of intra/inter competition between individuals or packs with blood rarely being spilled. On Izoa, life mainly continues as before, with competition continuing various species. For the Metal Ones, the Law forces the development of warfare and even the idea that bodies can be morphed into weapons. This predictably leads to a great deal of inter-clan warfare.
The continent of
Lentath rises from the seas, a flat plain of shield volcanoes. It is surrounded by the archipelagos of
Fatath,
Natath, and
Batath.

Law of Opposition: The law of opposition is a force of nature that acts within all beings in this realm. Whenever something or someone gains power he will gain an opponent to cross his path. Once paired the two are mystically bound and live will grant the winner in this fight until defeat a better destiny for his bloodline. The style of opposition differs from agent to Agent. So a mouse might fight a cat eternally or two merchants are fighting for dominance. The opponents are usually quite alike and they could have been friends if the Law of opposition hadn't kicked in.
