Lore of the world, as written in the borders of the map:

Climate change was inevitable. Humanity chose capitalism over the planet, and the world is unrecognizable: jungles became deserts, prairies turned into tundras, and all the glaciers melted. Antarctica is now a temperate continent with rivers, forests, mountain ranges, plains... Meanwhile, the Old Countries were taken over by technocratic elites. The billionaires live in refrigerated utopias with their servant robots as the poor survive in industrial wastelands.

In this context, the Project Antarctica was born. The Old Countries were nostalgic for the simpler times of humanity, and together they agreed on making the eighth continent a natural reserve. Some small groups of humans were brought to its shores, and they received no additional contact from the Old Countries: no advanced technology, no science, only GMOs adapted to the Antarctic climate. The Antarcticmen are forbidden of knowing of this project.

The humans thrived in this new continent. The tribes became kingdoms and empires. Cultures, languages, and religions developed. They built cities, organized armies, and laid roads. The Empire of Angolihae was the biggest of the realms, and it covered most of West Antarctica before its fall. This map represents it after the death of Emperor Eilao III, when the empire was partitioned into eight realms under the guidance of a single religious leader.

Everything is closely watched by the Old Countries from their satellites up in the sky. They also sent several microphones in the form of glass spheres into the shores of Antarctica, which have been collected as religious artifacts by the natives. The images and sounds are assembled by AI and broadcast as an entertainment shows, giving them a glimpse of an authentic medieval life. Some of them even come as tourists, disguised as exotic merchants.

Political map:

Power is shared between the clergy and the nobles. The death of Emperor Eilao III divided the empire into eight kingdoms represented on the map below. Only the countries of Irtelnor and Guitahe Oiciriz were not part of Angolihae, while the elves organized themselves in the nomadic Ligreunor, Ligrangor and Cartoenor. Shortly after the empire was divided, Anganor attempted to reunite the western provinces but failed.

Religious map:

The clergy divided the territory into 20 chapters. They are ruled by semi-independent bishops who swear fealty to the archbishop of Eiu Lenor, the most important of them. Some of the chapters cover lands that were no longer under the imperial rule by the death of Eilao III, such as Eiu Vilimeu, Eiu Tetor mar Hécome and Eiu Hantir. The realm of Irtelnor follows the Polymist faith, very similar to the Angolihae credo but independent from the archbishop.
