Aversaria (concept)
Aversaria is the name for both the region known as the 'Shattered Coast' as well as the realm which has ruled it and much of The Continent for most of recorded history. Ruled by the Aversarians, Aversarian culture is highly Magic based, believing that only Aversarians possess 'pure' blood, and that the worthiness of a person is decided by the purity of that blood. Aversarian society has a fairly strict social hierarchy based around this belief, with slaves at the bottom, non-Aversarian freemen above them, non-magical Aversarians above them, and progressively powerful Magi above them to the top of the social hierarchy. Most Aversarian Magi are Blood Magi, and its ease of use and commonality within Aversaria have generally made it the most common form of magic on the continent.
Aversaria ruled most of the continent since 0 IS (Imperial Standard), which was the year of the formation of the Aautokrata. Scholars generally agree that Aversaria was united from a series of city-states in southwestern Etepezea shortly prior to this date by one of the region's many Magi-warlords, and would control most of the Shattered Coast within 200 years of its formation.
