+== Attributes ==
+Geographically, Adothria reflects lead designer [[Andrew Gower|Andrew Gower's]] homeland of Britain and other traditional high fantasy worlds. It includes [[Hopeport|coastal regions]] dotted with ancient ruins, [[Hopeforest|tangled forests]] crossed by narrow paths between clearings, [[Mine of Mantuban|mines]] inhabited by goblins and gnomes who delve greedily and deep, and [[Crenopolis|sprawling metropolitan hubs]] of civilization and commerce.
+It is worth noting that while the terrain and climates may be somewhat inspired by Great Britain, the ceaseless rainstorm that besets Hopeport and interferes with shipping as of [[Crenopolis|Episode 4]] is seen as an aberration and a noteworthy, portentous event.
+=== History ===
+Long before the events of [[Brighter Shores]], the Cren civilization was a major power in Adothria. A Cren monument near the town of Hopeport, which stood over 100 feet high and purportedly served as a magical amplifier, was destroyed around 350 years prior to the events of the game during an incident known as the Freyeland revolution.
+=== Peoples ===
+There are a wide variety of sentient peoples to be found on and beneath the surface of Adothria.
+* '''Humans''' are largely clustered in the oceanside town of [[Hopeport]] and the city of [[Crenopolis]], though they have also established a small village in the southwestern reaches of [[Hopeforest]]. These are by no means the only human settlements on Adothria, as sailors in Hopeport would indicate the presence of other significant settlements elsewhere in the world.
+* '''Goblins''' and '''gnomes''' inhabit the [[Mine of Mantuban]], named for its founder in the distant past, and are cloistered in the southwest and northwest of the mines respectively.
+* '''Cyclopes''' occupy the mountain pass between Hopeforest and Crenopolis, and seem to enjoy a nomadic or loosely settled lifestyle.
+* '''Dwarves''' make their home in [[Stonemaw Hill]], a land of ruddy soil and—as one might imagine—semi-regular changes in elevation.
+Note that this is by no means an exhaustive list of the settlements and civilizations of Adothria, and reflects only those that players will have encountered as of Episode 4.
+=== Technology ===
+The tech level of Adothria is chiefly Medieval, with a smattering of machinery which may or may not be magically powered. This includes various stations used in [[Professions|Profession]] training as well as clockwork mechanisms.
+Sailing is commonplace and used for both travel and trade.
+=== Magic ===
+The realm of Adothria is deeply infused with magic, and these arcane energies tend to manifest in elemental forms that include, but are not limited to:
+* [[Cryonae]] (Freezing magic)
+* [[Arborae]] (Nature magic)
+* [[Tempestae]] (Storm/Electrical magic)
+* [[Infernae]] (Fire magic)
+* [[Necromae]] (Death magic)
+The denizens of Adothria have varying potential when it comes to wielding any form of magic. Some are [[Neutralae]], or beings with barely any magical ability to speak of. Others are [[Mysticae]], which have an aptitude for magic that's not of a combat variety.
+Certain beings, known as [[Receptacles]], have the capacity to absorb a vast amount of a particular type of magic and thereby become attuned to it. The [[Player character|player characters]] demonstrate this ability in the Main Story quest [[Nullify the corruption]], where they are presented with the option to attune with either Cryonae, Arborae, or Tempestae, becoming a [[Cryoknight]], [[Guardian]], or [[Hammermage]] respectively.
+There is another magical force which manifests as [[Corruption]], twisting the land and its inhabitants into dark and monstrous shapes, though it is not clear at this time whether this represents a corruption of the extant elemental magics or an entirely novel form.
+Outside of elemental damage dealt during combat, there are a number of commonplace and utilitarian spells which can be cast by the magically inclined, including:
+* [[Sense]]
+* [[Quartermaster (spell)|Quartermaster]] (Weapons and Armor storage)
+* [[Teleport|Teleportation]]
+* [[Immunity]] (Evading combat)
+* [[Storage Rift]] (General storage using attuned stones around the world)
+* [[Detect Aura]]
