The world

Weather and day cycle

Your people will need to rest at night, and those that are pushed to work late hours will work slower.

Weather will both influence the biome you're in, and have a huge impact on your citizen's health and your buildings.

Barne

• A largely peaceful nation of farmers and merchants.

• A land filled with rivers and hills with direct access to the sea.

• The land is filled with powerful religious leaders.

• A temperate climate year-round, with little difference between winter and summer.

Niluine

• These lands are divided into two main regions: The highlands, filled with high fir forests and mountainous terrain, and the lowlands, filled with swamps and lakes.

• These two regions have two separate groups of people living in them, the Linuites of Thârne, and the Lunuites of Luine, which have agreed to a tentative peace between their civilizations.

• The weather here is consistently rainy, with a brief period of moderate temperatures in the summer, followed by long, brutal winters.

Hambkar

• The canyon of Hambkar is a dry, dusty land filled with stone and large deposits of metal.

• Rivers teeming with fish are the veins in which the Hambkil settle near, as there's little to no access to water anywhere else.

• The people of Hambkar export most of Oryn's high-quality steel and metal goods.

Brandford

• Four kings rule over the land of Brandford, allied to one another since the lands were first settled.

• Brandfordians produce high-quality gems and stoneworks which they trade away for other goods. They farm hearty crops and raise goats which thrive in the mountainous terrain.

• They're excellent architects and have used the fortify the mountains around their land to protect from outside threats, and harnessed their rivers to power their buildings.

• The weather is generally cold and snowy during the winter, but more mild during the spring and summer months.

Earth of Oryn will release with four main civilizations, but this will be expanded over the game's life cycle depending on Kickstarter funding and sales.

The game takes place between 300 and 500 in the second age when most of the civilizations have established themselves.
