Valian

Valian
Valian is the natural realm within the Orb of Twilight and the primary realm in which Dungeons and Dragons sessions take place. Valian is the base realm in which the Feywild and Shaowfell are linked to. It is considered the Jewel of the Gods and the realm in which the Gods, Elementals, Demons and other powerful beings all attempt to gain control over.

Demographics
Valian is the homeland of many of the races in Dungeons and Dragons including Humans, Dwarves, Dragonborns, Tieflings and Halflings. Also Elves, despite being Feyborn, now reside almost primarily in Valian, living together with the other races and creating the Half-Elf race. Humans are the most plentiful race in Valian, living all across Valian in all sorts of environments. Elves are the second most plentiful race, living in both the wild forests and swamps of Valian, and also living in many human settlements. Dragonborns are the third largest race, once having dominated the Eastern part of Valian with their Arkhosia empire. However after the war with the Tiefling, Bael Turath empire, the Dragonborns have been in decline but remain plentiful in numbers. Dwarves are the fourth largest race, reigning originally from their mountain holds. However Dwarves are also in decline after their greed and lust for gold and precious gems lead them to disastrous in fighting and the attraction of powerful dragons. Currently most Dwarves live in human cities with very few remaining in their once great mountain fortresses. Halflings are the fifth most plentiful race in Valian. Unlike many other races Halflings do not have an Empire or Golden Age of past, but instead Halflings are content travelling across Valian. Often living in travelling trade convoys Halflings tend to not stay in one spot for long. Half-Elves are the next most populace race, living as a bridge between the mystical elves and the pragmatic humans. Half-Elves can be found in both the forest cities of the elves and also in the human cities, able to easily fit in both cultures. Finally Tieflings are the least populace of the natural born races of Valian. Once spreading far across the Western part of Valian after making their infernal pact to grow the Bael Turath empire, the Tieflings have significantly declined after the war with the Dragonborns. Since then the Tieflings have been living as outcasts forced to live on the outskirts of human cities.

Geography
The Prime Plane is a diverse landscape and contains one large continent known as Valian. There is also a few islands that surround Valian as well. Valian has a variety of ecosystems and landscapes. From the swamps in the South, the icy tundra to the North-West and the arid desert in the East. The high mountains that dominate the center of Valian, combined with the unexplored swamps in the south have made cross-continent travel in Valian difficult.
