Knowledge of how to plant grain, sew garments, and maintain a household returned as if by instinct, allowing communities to return to a functional state almost immediately. However, international relationships had to be entirely pieced together from scratch. Because there were no memories of old alliances or ancient grudges, early explorers had to rediscover their neighbors and physically map the boundaries of the continent once more.

			To the best reckoning of the most dedicated [[Sop]]hists, [[Otan]] is a massive continent covering a significant portion of a globe that rotates around a steady yellow sun every 366 days. This solar cycle is mirrored by a precise celestial clockwork above; every six days, the world is orbited by three equidistant moons. The largest and most brilliant of these is the Eye of [[Woden]], which is flanked by its two smaller companions, Huginn and Muninn. These moons are tidally locked, forever showing a single, unchanging face to the people below as they mark the passage of the [[Otan]]i week.

			The most profound astronomical event occurs during Holy Week, the six-day period that concludes each year. During this time, the ecliptic of the sun passes directly through the Asuu, which the [[Sop]]hists have identified as the galactic core. This celestial alignment is a time of great spiritual and physical tension. Scholars believe that [[Otan]] is somehow shielded from the literal fury of the Asuu, as they have observed distinct edges of darkened sky that seem to act as a protective barrier against the core’s intense energy.

			The nature of the Asuu remains the subject of fierce intellectual and theological debate. While some argue it is a purely physical manifestation of the universe's center, others wonder if it possesses a divine consciousness. However, this remains a mystery of the "Before World," as no [[Divine]] has ever been known to acquire power through its worship, and no priest has ever successfully channeled its light. It remains a silent, radiant titan in the sky, marking the transition from one year to the next while the rest of the world offers its prayers to the gods of the modern era.

			In addition to the physical continent and the celestial bodies above, [[Otan]]ian cosmology recognizes two distinct spiritual realms: the Heavens and the Nether Worlds. For the vast majority of [[Otan]]is, these dimensions represent the final destination of the soul, with the afterlife determined by one's deeds, faith, or, in the case of the [[Karazalikar]], the successful collection of one's soul fragments.

			Whether a spirit ascends to the celestial radiance of the Heavens or descends into the shadowed depths of the Nether Worlds is a central concern of the six major religions, providing the moral and spiritual framework for life in the current era. There is, however, a third path that blurs the line between the living and the dead. It is widely believed that each of these realms possesses one or more "nexus" points that physically connect them to the world of [[Otan]].

			These nexus gates are not merely metaphorical doorways but literal locations where the veil between worlds is thin enough to cross while still possessing a mortal body. While the existence of these bridges is accepted as fact by most scholars and high priests, their locations remain the most highly guarded secrets on the continent. Whether they are hidden deep within the glacial center of the continent, buried under the desert sands of the Caliphate, or tucked away in the deepest groves of the [[Aelfwode]], the means of accessing a nexus gate and the consequences of doing so remain a mystery that few have ever dared to solve.

			The history of [[Otan]] is fundamentally severed into two distinct eras: the AM (Ante Mundi) and the IM (Incipit Mundi). During the AM era, the world was brought into being by the collective will of the gods. [[Sop]]hists, through the study of ancient ruins and geological anomalies, have determined that the divine creators did not work alone; they employed millions or perhaps billions of Qurillisi to serve as the architects and laborers of the physical realm.

			The exact nature of these beings and the full extent of their work remain buried in the shadows of the past, as some unknown cataclysm eventually brought about the Great Erasure. This event was an absolute spiritual and mental wipe that scrubbed away every written record and oral tradition in existence. Few if any Qurillisi [[Qurilissi]] exist today.

			In the first year of the IM era, humanity and its various strains awoke to a world without a past. While their specific memories of families, ancestors, and national identities were gone, basic survival instincts and essential skills remained. Knowledge of how to plant grain, sew garments, and maintain a household returned as if by instinct, allowing communities to return to a functional state almost immediately. However, international relationships had to be entirely pieced together from scratch. Because there were no memories of old alliances or ancient grudges, early explorers had to rediscover their neighbors and physically map the boundaries of the continent once more.

			By the fifth decade of the IM era, the title of [[Sop]]hist arose as a formal vocation. These scholars dedicated themselves to parsing together loose fragments of information, ruined monuments, star charts, and lingering biological traits to patch together a cohesive pre-history for their people. By the dawn of the second century IM, the continent had stabilized; borders were well-established, and ruling lineages were deeply entrenched.

			This era of growth eventually gave way to tension, as [[Otan]] found itself ready for a war with itself. The first great conflict, known as the [[Grendel]] War, erupted fifty years later. Though the fighting was halted by the Treaty of [[Kala Astanals]] before the geography of [[Otan]] was wildly reshaped, the conflict unleashed a dangerous precedent. In the year 261 IM, the period of reconstruction has ended, and most nations now live in a state of high alert, actively preparing for the next great war to determine the future of the continent.
