Fantasy made up world divided in four contintents, right now the story take place on the land of the gods, in which I take many architeture inspiration from western europe and the mediterranean mediterranean,
the east is the land of dragons where is mostly asian and oriental inspiration
the north is the land of crystals, based in north of europe and north of aisa
and the south, the land of land itself, with african style
The names are based on where the magic comes, or is mantained. in the land of gods, they represent the essence and features of every sentien being. The land of dragons, the holy dragons hold the concept of values of different things, family, materials, power itself, this doesn't work like an olympus like the gods, but more like a title that a holy dragon can pass to the next of kin, usually their first born.
Now, the north and south work differently, the land of crystals, that represent the elements of magic, but not working like a crystal of fire, water and such, but more, whoever has a conection with each one. In the south, the land of land itself, is the concept with the world itself and the different realms, since the realms are closer to each other in this continent, allowing many different kinds of being to coexist.
If something where to happen to any of this beings, object, etc. it's not like magic would dissapear, imagining that hte worl is a table, it would be like taking parts of the legs, until the table fall into chaos.
