The Taino Fantasy World of Burghandia

La familia Luna del Rio Sulsia amplió su linaje y se hizo famosa por su fertilidad y asombrosa longevidad—los reyes Luna vivían más de 130 años. Los forasteros se maravillaban con los rumores sobre estos longevos “Monarcas del Cultivo”, nombre con el que la gente los llamaba. Con el paso de las décadas, pocos comprendían el mecanismo oculto que prolongaba su reinado, siendo la esperanza de vida común de apenas 30 a 35 años. Un secreto, celosamente guardado por la monarquía, otorgaba a la línea Luna una ventaja casi insuperable en poder y estabilidad. Los campesinos, que raramente sospechaban algo más allá de las buenas cosechas del reino, veneraban a estos reyes como guardianes casi míticos de la abundancia. Con el transcurrir de los siglos, las primeras tierras de cultivo se expandieron; caminos básicos unían las comunidades y rudimentarios acueductos canalizaban agua a las nacientes poblaciones. La longevidad de la monarquía aseguraba transiciones suaves entre gobernantes e insulaba a Vikoria de amenazas externas.

Así, el reinado de los Luna fomentó una identidad comunal estable—los campesinos se sentían prósperos bajo los sabios Monarcas del Cultivo, quienes parecían bendecidos con vidas excepcionalmente largas y fértiles.

Their lineage was famed not only for their fruitfulness but for astonishing longevity—Luna royals lived for more than 100 years. Outsiders marvelled at the rumours of these long-lived “Crop Monarchs,” the men people use for them. Few understood the hidden mechanism that prolonged their reign. But the common lifespan was 30 to 35 years. A secret, jealously guarded by the monarchy, allowed the Luna line a nearly insurmountable edge in power and stability. The peasants, seldom suspecting anything beyond the realm’s good harvests, generally revered these kings as near-mythic guardians of plenty.

Welcome to Burghandia: The Life Timeline – An Epic Adventure. Today, we embark on a journey through the history of Burghandia—This single night when pods of Two-Finned Blunas ended an era reshaping our world, becoming the anchor of our calendar. We mark time as either BF (Before the Fall), the long ages stretching into the past, or AF (After the Fall), the years of rebuilding and new beginnings.

Welcome, fellow travelers and lovers of epic lore, to the “World of Burghandia.” I’m Victor, and today we embark on a journey through a realm like no other—a multidimensional world influenced by Dominican folklore, shaped by the grandeur of ancient Greece and Rome, and touched by the mystique of Egyptian myth.

Picture a vast tapestry of sweeping deserts, icy arctic expanses, stormy maritime coasts, lush heartlands, and endless steppes. These lands house countless cultures—some benevolent, others shrouded in dark ritual. Today, we’ll explore the major kingdoms, city-states, and frontier regions that make up the world of Burghandia.

In the vast world of Burghandia, numerous kingdoms and nations flourish, each shaped by distinct cultures and customs handed down through generations. The continent itself is sprawling and interconnected, fringed by various islands at its outer edges. Across these lands, one discovers a rich tapestry of climates, ecosystems, and landscapes that range from lush rainforests to arid deserts, each teeming with its unique wildlife and vegetation.

Beginning in the far west, the twin islands of Northia in the northwest and Kastria in the southwest stand as prominent markers of Burghandia’s diverse geography. Both islands, separated from the mainland by the Twin Straights Sea, possess rugged coastlines. Beyond these isles, the semi-disconnected region of Steppya extends inland, comprising Sigurd to the north, Makyri in the hinterlands, and the vast, mostly untouched Saltus Rainforest that dominates the southern portion. This rainforest, covering roughly one-fifth of Steppya, is said to harbour unknown species of flora and fauna, making it an alluring frontier for explorers.

Continuing east across the Blackwater Sea, travellers reach the southern portion of the Heartlands—an expansive territory that stretches over much of the continent east of Steppya, forming the central core of Burghandia. Journeying deeper inland, one encounters the Codio Desert, a harsh environment where scorching sun and shifting dunes pose significant challenges for traders and nomads who traverse its barren expanses. South of this desert lies Surkia, a semi-tropical region where thick canopies of palm trees border fertile soils. Beyond the Strait of Grithium (south of Surkia), a small, wildlife-rich island rises from turquoise waters, known for its abundance of natural resources, freshwater lakes, and thriving marine life.

Heading back north into Surkia and skirting the edges of Codio, the landscape transitions from arid plateaus into broad prairies known collectively as Treelia. Here, windswept grasslands sustain herds of grazing animals and scattered farming communities. Just across the Curo River is the forbidding island of Cacan, where rocky terrain and an unforgiving climate create an uninhabitable wasteland, devoid of human settlements. Continuing north by sea past Cacan brings travellers to the Blue Sea and, eventually, to Domo—a modest island with gently rolling fields and a temperate climate that supports year-round agriculture.

Retracing one’s route south past Cacan and Treelia leads back over the Codio Desert, where travellers approach a chain of elevated plateaus often referred to as the Mesa line. Beyond these mesa formations, the lands open into Vikoria, a region enriched by gleaming rivers, serene lakes, and mineral-laden foothills. Vikoria spans much of the central heartlands and shares borders with Oron to the north, a land reputed for its gold-rich deposits and fertile plains, while Surkia’s vibrant tropical forests and farmland lie to the south. As one journeys east from Vikoria, a commanding Massif range rises abruptly from the terrain, extending from north to south and forming a natural barrier that partitions the coastal region from western Vikoria. Nestled beyond these towering heights is a narrow yet lush coastal valley, where the climate shifts to mild maritime conditions. Off the coast, the volcanic island of Kriti looms, its jagged landscapes shaped by ancient lava flows, though parts of the island remain habitable and cultivated.

Nuestra historia comienza en los sombríos "Tiempos Ciegos", una era en la que la vida era corta y el envejecimiento veloz. En medio de las duras realidades de la pobreza rural en la Isla de Krastia, un compasivo campesino llamado Krassus encontró su destino en una noche de tormenta. Mientras cuidaba la modesta granja de su familia, descubrió dos bebés abandonados, vidas frágiles dejadas a merced del destino. El tierno corazón de Krassus lo obligó a cuidar de estos gemelos, Aeliana y Treelius, desafiando las duras reprimendas de su padre y las apremiantes demandas de supervivencia. Con la ayuda nutritiva de una mujer campesina de buen corazón, Dyanis, el trío se embarcó en una vida marcada por dificultades y aventuras, vagando de ciudad en ciudad—desde Wess, hasta Ankard, y a través de Luysa hasta Aguasnegras—a medida que los misteriosos dones de los gemelos comenzaban a revelar un destino mucho mayor de lo que nadie había imaginado.

Welcome to Burghandia—a vibrant medieval realm steeped in tradition, hereditary titles, and grand displays of chivalry. Towering castles protect kings, queens, and the powerful lords and knights who uphold a code of bravery and honor. Once, fierce Praetorian Knights served as the royal guard, renowned for battling dragons and laying down their lives in honorable service. For centuries, these legendary warriors safeguarded monarchs at the very heart of the Old Kingdom.

Meanwhile, royal barons governed the Heartlands, preserving order across a continent of diverse kingdoms. Many of these realms revere the Life Gods, a faith said to have been spread by Krassus the Prophet, who allegedly lived hundreds of years. Funded by devoted followers and apostles, Krassus built the colossal Magna Palace in his homeland of Krastia—a monumental testament to the Life Gods’ enduring influence over Burghandia. First Episode Ever! Using my original voice.

The world of Burghandia is an in-depth Medieval Fantasy World. A fantasy world with two "known" land mass. First there is the heartland continent to the east, and the Axiad continent to the west. The old kingdom of Vikoria was a majestic kingdom, imposed by the Pretorian Knights.
