Setting
Sterhera is where Free as a Bird takes place and it happens in the year 3050. Sterhera is a planet of abundant life, with three main continents the world holds endless mysteries for its new inhabitants to discover and explore. Eache continet has varying climates within them, from sun beat desterts to towering snow caped peaks, and everything in between an adventurious soul can find many ways to satisfy their thirst. Everything aout Sterhera resembles Earht in some way, whether it be the vast mysterious oceans, or the constant struggle of predator and prey there is always something to find that can remind a person of the world they had come from. But Sterhera is also very diferent, starkly alian compared to our world, creatures never thought to be able to exist walk the face of this planet, the undisputed rulers until humans returned to its soul.
Technology is very advanced, flying machines that are far more deft then airplanes, grand ships that allow one to stand on its decks while soaring through the air. The medical intelligence is emmense, but with new unfamilar herds containing different properties the nthat of Earth's doctors are unable to preform at their highest and the world of medecine has greatly suffered for it reverting to a dark age form of hit and miss.
The common weapons are swords, bows, and the like, gunpowder is expensive and hard to come by. only the privilaged few can afford or can steal the neccesary resouces to keep a gun armed and ready to kill.Cloths and higien are still kept to the same standard as they are today, and although eletricity is only common in the richer dwellings- forcing people to rely on fire and lanterns for light- cloths are easily repaired or remade.
History
Serhera was once inhabited by humans long ago, these ancient civilizations resided in the lands North of Argo, these civilization were constantly warring, one fought for their lives, wives, children and everything they held dear, the other for victory, wealth, and sacrificial victims to appease their blood thirsty gods.
For centuries these primitive beings fought winning an losing alike, until a great disaster struck the civilization known as Sangen our in our language People of the Clouds who dwelled within the high reaches of the mountain we struck with a terrible landslide that destroyed their capitol city over half their population.
Soon they fell into disarray and the towns and villages left without rule turned against one another, becoming separate tribes. This made it all the harder for the Ven the lower land dwelling warrior nation to defeat the Sengen, divided they were no longer ruled by one entity and so each village had to be conquered one at a time. But concur them they did and soon the land was owned by the Ven, but their bloody rituals and beliefs soon brought their destruction as they soon found themselves out of people to sacrifice other then their own. Soon the rich and prosperous government collapsed upon itself as corruption and religion caused men to turn one another.
As the civilities warred with one another their gods had fought as well, but no without humans to pray to them and give them power they soon weakened and fell into a deep slumber, some faded away while other held on until after many thousands of year humans called upon them once more.
The ruins of the died people have never been fully explored, some areas and tombs have been plundered, but the land is treacherous, the thick forest filled with deadly creatures, and with the release of mutations from the Agro this place has become all the more dangerous as the intelligent being begin to claim the area as their own.
Steva Nation
The aciant people of Steva were far more peaceful, farmers and hunter gatherers these people soon built cities high in the mountains, similar to the People of the Clouds in Argo these men and women lived in high elivation, barrying their dead in tombs built or carved out of the sheer cliff faces that cover most of Steva's land. Painted bright red these tombs can still be found today, many have been ransacked like the tombs of the Sengen and Ven civilizations. Like the Sengen after their captiol was destroyed these people had no set king, rather there were many kings or chiefs who rules over their tribe, leading their people and protecting their cities, some built atop mountain peaks, others carves int othe cliff face like the ancient American indians.
Kane Nation
Little is know about the aciant civilization in kane, none were found and it is thought that volcanic eruptions may have burried any evidence of any people before we arrived.
