Basics of the world and its physical laws
The world itself is not round, but flat, and exists in a three dimensional plane, that rests solely on the x and z axes. The planet is rectangular, perfectly so, with five distinct regions. A desert to the northeast, a tundra to the northwest, a volcanic wasteland to the southwest, and a forest to the southeast. The central region has no ground, and is a mass of clouds. A cathedral-like structure is the head of the ‘Plaza Hidden in the Clouds’, where the races coexist and trade.

The laws of physics are the same as earth, but gravity functions a bit differently. Every living being is born with an inherent gravitational value. The higher the value, the less gravity affects them. THe lowest value is 1,

They create jewellry for festivals, on the rare chance that there is reason for one.

In the Tundra roam the Frost Spiders. They have thin bodies, with even more spindly legs. The spiders are non-venomous, and hide that secret from all. The Frost Spiders are widely considered the most intellectual of the tribes. They build webs, and use their size to scare their prey into said traps. They create silk fabric from their thread, and sell it in rolls to the other races. They also trade extra
