Colonial-Early Industrial Era // Low-Limited Magic // Low-Limited Intelligent Races // Open to World Development
The planet that this story's setting is called Gaia. The intelligent races that occupy it are the ambitious humans, the hardy dwarves, the free-thinking elves, and the mystical orcs. Most of Gaia is still unmarked on maps as the continent of Astraia is large enough for the four races to each have their own territories, and is rich in resources to be utilized equally among them. There has been a number of wars in Astraia's past, but it's been hundreds of years now that the races have lived in peace- allowing civilization to begin flourishing out to the borders that once remained unexplored by the Astraian people. The year is now 1200 d.d and the country has reached its first Industrial Revolution thanks to the dwarves, coal-fueled constructs are now starting to be invented though still quite rare.

Old Western Thematic // All Jobs Are Needed! // Sign That Dotted Line!
Hillhaven was recently founded by Cresta Dustwallow. It's location is nestled just beyond the Mosscrag Mountain Range, which was only fully explored a few years ago due to its dragon infestation. The valley Hillhaven finds itself in is quite beautiful with its countless rollings hills, grasslands, forests, a few rivers, and a large lake which the town itself was built right next to. Cresta herself had been a bit of an adventurer in her youth, serving in the Wyverspoon military before taking off to explore the dangerous corners of Astraia. She is known to be one of the few people responsible for the world's map growing in recent years, but alas those days are over and she now seeks to settle down and live a quieter life. Not wanting to plant her roots in any of the preexisting settlements in her country, she decided to claim some of the land she herself helped find, and with the help of some upstart investors founded Hillhaven. The town is fairly small and still growing, but with its growing population- more buildings and structures continue to claim the untouched land over time.
