Elezia, or the Aerth (Anglish) or Tierra (Almagrian) is the fourth planet from the Sol. It is the only known planet to accommodate life. There are around 8 million different plant and animal species around the World. Scientific analysis has concluded that Elezia formed and developed over 4 billion years ago. The Aerth rotates around the Sol in 365 and ¼ days, a period commonly accepted as an Aerth year. The Aerth's surface layer is formed of several slowly moving tectonic plates, interacting to produce mountain ranges, volcanoes, and erthquakes. The Aerth's liquid outer core generates the magnetic field that shapes Aerth's magnetosphere, deflecting destructive solar winds.

The atmosphere on the Aerth is made up of mostly nitrogen and oxygen. More solar energy is received by tropical regions than polar regions and is redistributed by atmospheric and ocean circulation. Water vapor is widely present in the atmosphere and forms clouds that cover most of the planet.

The planet contains a variety of different nations and civilisations that inhabit the landmasses, which are home to many different vibrant cultures and languages. The planet is home to roughly 6 billion people, as of 2022.

Continents

Parthenia

The Parthenian continent is located entirely within the northern hemisphere, located to the west of the Merillian Ocean and to the east of the Sarosan Ocean. It lies just north of continental Tarandra and the Aurean Sea, which a majority of the continents history and culture centres itself around. The continent is rich in history, with humans settling around 46,000 years ago after passing across the Parthenian-Atusian landbridge. Diverse in climate, Parthenia ranges from Aurean climates in the south to tundra in the north.

Atusia

Atusia is a continent located within the northern hemisphere, located on the east side of the Merillian Ocean and to the west of the Sarosan Ocean. It lies just north of Muanbia and the Vareic Sea which separates the two continents. Atusia is the world's second most diverse continent, home to a diverse range of ethnic groups.

History

Main article: History of Elezia

Elezia is home to humans, who over the last two million years of their existence have made history. The earliest humans appeared around 2 million years ago, and in their earliest migrations they spread through ancient landbridges from Muanbia to Atusia. It is likely that these early humans lived and survived on hunter-gatherer lifestyles. It was soon after that more of the early forms of humans migrated west into the Parthenian continent through the northern land bridge, and spread further south into the !Turkic regions of the continent.
