Southlands

A long time ago, Elves began making the journey to the Southlands.  Only Elves had ships that could cross the great ocean, then.  Not all the Elves went, but a great many did.  In a distant, wild land, they built kingdoms, and spread themselves far.

Time passed.  Human cultures acquired the ability to cross the ocean.  This was a good thing, because the Elves of the Southlands needed help- powerful enemies threatened them, and they were too few to win on their own.  They sought allies, and made treaties allocating land to nations that would come to their aid.

Almost two centuries have passed since the first Elven call for aid.  Humans have established colonies in the Southlands, alongside the remaining Elven kingdoms.  They are still small, but growing, and day by day taming the dangerous yet promising Southlands.  Some have become independent states, some are territories of powerful nations back in the old world.  The danger is not passed, but there is opportunity in the thinly settled Southlands, and so, every day, people come.

This is my first attempt at 5e, so it will be an "easy going" and low level game, at least initially.

Just to create a break from the usual "Fantasy World is Medieval England" style without going to the overused "Or else its Oriental", expect to see cultures based on India, Polynesia, and Eastern Europe.
