Realms of Ashkar

AZAR - The bottom layer of Ashkar is a churning sea of molten iron, Surrounded by Azar, the fabled firestorm, a black, swirling fog of storms of fiery, poison clouds and smoke, home to the vilest mythical creatures of fire and death.

KARKA – Circling above the fiery winds of Azar is the realm of Karka, home to the Duskrocks: dense, and mineral rich, and sheltered from the sun. The lightless Duskrocks are home to terrifying creatures of the night, huge burrowing monsters, and nefarious civilizations of secretive races such as the drow and duergar, in constant war with each other.

NIMRE - Above the duskrocks swirls Nimre, the Stormfloor, an endless storm of nigh-impenetrable force; fierce winds and tornadoes; hard driving rain and hail; thunder and lightning.

ASHKAR - Lastly, circling above Nimre, are the Isles of Ashkar, the sunny Dawnrocks, scattered isles teeming with flora and fauna, and home to a vast array of peoples and scattered civilizations.

The names of these four realms are also given to the elemental forces that govern the world:

Azar – Fire; Karka – Earth; Nimre – Water; and Ashkar – Air.
