INTRODUCTION

At the dawn of time, when language had yet to take shape, the world looked much the same as it does today, but humanity wandered in confusion. With the birth of the first proto-language, the spirits of the language descended upon the world. Scattering across Africa, Australia, Eurasia, North America, Papunesia, and South America, they wandered through human civilizations, watching over the rise and fall of dynasties and the shifting of territories, witnessing the building and destruction of cities, and singing the birth and death of poetry.

These spirits, with their limitless lifespans, grew with the passage of time. However, when humans ceased to call upon their names, when the languages faded from the world, their spirits vanished with them, returning to the invisible, becoming an echo deep within history. Thus, the spirits of languages accompany humanity's trajectory, carrying the memories of civilization, until the world falls into an eternal, unspoken silence.

Africa

In the central land lies the great realm of sand, where the sun blazes and the spirits grand. To the south the grassland abounds, where countless creatures migrate with roaring sound. The yellow sands and the golden sun intertwine, weaving the rhythms of life beneath the sky.

In their land, they stand like stones, with voices like the desert's tones. With each step they take, the earth will shake. The sun their armor, light their blade, they guard the weak unafraid. They draw their strength from the soil and plain, facing the threat, their stand is maintained.

Sand: The Sahara Desert is the world's largest hot desert. It's extremely hot during the day and surprisingly cold at night. This vast desert shapes the climate and life in Northern Africa.
Grass: The Serengeti grasslands have the planet's largest animal migration. Every year, millions of animals follow the rains in a massive, circular journey, showing the cycle of life and death.
Light: Africa receives some of the strongest and most consistent sunlight on Earth. This intense light is why the continent's landscapes often appear so bright.

Australia

In the southern heartland lies the deserts, where the stretch of the red lands start. From the heart, the soft winds bring the melody apart. Fires burn the forests, ashes drift and sleep, dream and reality merge, their promises to keep.

Of the burning land, they are the spirits of dream, like the shifting smoke, with burning eyes that gleam. Their songs enchant, their blades are death, they run in shadows, and leave without breath. In dreams they come, at dawn they flee, with ash around and no life to see.

Dream: The Dreamtime is one of the world's oldest continuous Aboriginal cultures. It connects the people to the land through stories of creation, making the ancient Australian desert a living record of history and spirituality.
Poison: Australia is famous for having many of the world's most venomous animals. This is a result of evolution, where species developed powerful venoms to survive in a competitive environment.
Fire: Many of Australia's ecosystems have evolved with fire. Some plants need the heat from bushfires to open their seeds and germinate. This creates a natural cycle where fire is not just destructive, but also a crucial part of rebirth and growth.

Euraisa

In the north lie the frozen plains, where snow covers the icy land. In the south lie the burning deserts, where hot wind blows through the endless sand. Mountains and rivers cross the realm, forests and grasslands grow from the ground. Beneath the soil rich minerals lay, above the soil grand civilizations stay.

In lands of frost, where steel blades gleam, they build their forts by frozen streams. Their marching drums like a snowstorm's hail, their spirit thrives, no cold can pale. They carve their path, they make their way, the cities rise to break the day, as glaciers retreat from the plain, their realms expand, their domains gain.

Ice: Siberia contains the world's largest continuous stretch of permafrost and tundra. This massive ice plain locks away vast amounts of water and ancient carbon, influencing the planet's climate.
Gold: The Ural Mountains and Central Asia sit on one of the world's longest and richest mineral belts. Metals like gold, silver, iron, and copper here fueled the development of metallurgy, tools, and wealth, shaping human civilizations.
Earth: This continent is home to some of the earliest sites of agriculture. The fertile soils allowed humans to farm on a large scale, leading to the first great empires.

North America

The northern lands stretch far and wide, where winding mountains are covered in snow, with auroras flashing on the side, and the winters barely go. The southern plains face the constant storms, where lightning strikes in raging form. Echoing from heaven to ground, the thunder's roar is the only sound.

They rule the storms on mountains high, they sing the snow and command the sky. One breath can call the winds to fly, one voice can chant the lightning high. Thunder drums like calling war, snowstorm dances with blades afar, strong winds shout with nature's roar.

Wind: The Great Plains, located next to the Rocky Mountains, is known for its powerful winds. This region experiences more tornadoes in its interior and more hurricanes on its coasts than anywhere else on Earth.
Lightning: The central and southern part of the continent often experiences intense thunderstorms with frequent lightning strikes. Meanwhile, the northern parts of the continent are perfectly positioned under the Earth's magnetic poles, making the spectacular Aurora Borealis a common sight.
Snow: The northern part of the continent often experiences extreme snowfall. This has created massive, permanent glaciers and long, snowy winters, with the landscape often reflecting the beautiful colors of the aurora in the sky.

Papunesia

The island lies in the southern sea, surrounded by coral reefs. Ocean tides fall and rise, waters reflecting from the sky. Faint lights shimmer in the deep-sea caves, miracles hide in the mist so white, as heaven appears beneath the waves, where creatures in the dark shine bright.

Of the rolling seas, with eyes that glow, their songs wake tides, their voices soothe souls. They hide in mist, emerge when waters flow. All those who sail are under their control.

Ocean: Life in Papunesia is fundamentally shaped by the ocean. For thousands of years, people have been master navigators, using the stars to travel between islands, creating cultures that live with the sea.
Darkness: The island has unique and complex cave systems, including above-water coastal caves and underwater blue holes. These dark worlds are often home to bioluminescent creatures that produce their own light.
Mist: The warm and wet tropical climate constantly creates thick fog and mist. This mist surrounds the rainforests and deep valleys, creating a mysterious and humid environment that shapes the local ecology.

South America

In the west, the mountains stand, stretching miles and touching cloud and land. In the east, the rainforests lie, towering trees and flooding rivers hide. Danger and death wander near, shadows and darkness cover fear. All life breathes in a single sigh, fireflies shine in the evening sky.

They breathe in the woods and walk in the rain, their bowstrings roar and fight with pain. From miles away they stop dangers that pass, before they step upon the sacred grass. No woods hide what their eyes perceive, the mountains in their heart still breathe.

Rock: The Andes Mountains form the longest continuous mountain range in the world. They are created by tectonic forces and volcanoes, and they influence the climate of the entire continent.
Rain: The Amazon Rainforest is the largest tropical rainforest on Earth. It produces an enormous amount of the world's oxygen and is home to the greatest diversity of life.
Wood: The forests of the Amazon Basin have the highest density of trees in the world. It is a place supporting incredibly complex lives in the forest.
