Nexus is set up to connect to many different worlds, so characters can come from just about anywhere. However, there are some main trading partners with regular traffic to Nexus. A brief description of these will allow people to make a character with connections to an existing world.
Human lands:
Rimaria - swashbuckling, Italianate; one main city, Taviola, now destroyed and in ruins; one small port, Port Venoa, other cities more distant.
Shikaga - japanese feel; a distant port from the mainland is all that connects to Nexus.
Aduvanum - Roman-like imperial land, minimal contact with Nexus except through gypsies.
Calis/Al-Ahmra - desert/Arabic land. Main port near Nexus is Qsar es-Sadu; distant land is Meshrakan (not yet in module).
Montiere - knightly realms, with kings and queens and dark sorcerors. currently under attack from an unknown but powerful enemy
Albari lands - fire sorcerors, fractured political environment. (homeland not in module, but many in Nexus)
Dorminar - a peaceful land where magic is deeply integrated into the world, ruled by Queen Faeline and Prince Henri
Baldassare - a dark and secretive land ruled by an opporesive bureaucracy. The enemies of Nexus, the Inniskara, appear to be hiding somewhere in Baldassare.
Coritania - a quiet land of farmers and villages that is hoping to grow through contact with Nexus. Its greatest threats are boggins and dogmen living in the Greenwood.
Kanderia - a major supplier of food to Nexus and a land of powerful knights and robber knights with a Germanic feel
Ysalia- a land at war with its neighbor, Carondolet, Ysalia supplies silk and spices to Nexus. It has a Spanish feel to it. It will be added to the module shortly.
Halfling lands:
Rimaria - the Green Hill Country; a quiet and safe land within Rimaria
Aydihua - while not originally natives, many halflings now live in Aydihua
Gnome lands:
Aduvanum - gnomes are an important part of Aduvanum.
Another gnomish land is out there, but it is not well known.
Elf lands:
Cherient - elves who once lived in cities and have chosen to abandon them for the forest. Also many fey (pixies etc) live here.
Rimaria - though small in number, many more elves once lived in the lands of Rimaria near Nexus
Dorminar - there is a kingdom of elves somewhere in Dorminar, and elves and half-elves can be found in the kingdom of Dorminar
Dwarf lands:
Gimil-zar - destroyed by dragons, the dwarves have begun rebuilding their homeland now that peace has been made with the dragons.
Montiere- a few dwarves live in Montiere
Other races:
Aydihua - Aydihuans are a blue-skinned and winged folk, ruled by Queen Amiphariset. Other races live here as well. Magic is widely used, espcially for constructs.
Gardal - Hrumani are lion-headed humanoids of large stature. Several live in Nexus
Kobolds and dragonkin-
The Dragonlands - from the same world as Dorminar, but distant from there. A land ruled by dragons and inhabited by both humans and dragonkin.
