As I said previously, Geonova has 1 main continent, created naturally, and more 15 generated magically by the lapis potentia. Each one of the continents is divided into minor kingdoms, but all they are ruled by its main government that works as a kingdom and as a capital for the continent: the city-states. For their important roles, the city-states are the most powerful defense Geonova has and all of them have mega structures that may work as big cities by themselves. Moreover, with each lapis potentia changing the environment for each continent, people’s bodies adapted to it and they live fine where Earthlings wouldn’t survive for too long. Most people born in Geonova have dark brown eyes and brown hair, but they seem to change until their links with their inner magic and paired familiars mature, around 20 years old.

The following describes Geonova’s continents, megastructures and each race that inhabits it:

LIGHTLAND, the land of magic and schooling

The main race born here is known as MAGUS (mage), and they are naturally born with advanced magic abilities, such as controlling the elements and the anima, the magical energy. Magus's most common characteristic for an adult Magus is to have white azure eyes, sometimes becoming pretty close to white, and their hair may change the color depending on their element affinity.

Lightland’s city-state is called KARL HILL, in honor of the first Earthlings that first discovered this land, way before the destruction of the Nova planet.

Lightland topography includes a kingdom of rivers and hydroelectric power plants, a kingdom of dense forests and woods, a kingdom dedicated to fabrics, workmanship, and handcraft, and a kingdom dedicated to constructing homes for the population. Its city-state holds the following megastructures, the GREAT CASTLE (build buy the first Emperor King and nowadays it’s also home for the fabric of solid energy) and the MILITARY SCHOOL of UNIVERSAL MAGIC (a huge city complex that is open to receive any student from anywhere in Geonova and even from Earth).

WARLAND, the land of warriors and battles

The main race born here is known as BELLUM (war) and, opposite to Magus, the Bellums aren’t kin to magic, using anima to fortify their bodies instead, principally their muscles, their symbol of strength. Besides the muscles, all adult Bellums have black eyes and black hair.

Warland city-state is called the GREAT GRASSLAND, considered the greatest place to train your body and martial tactics.

As an open place, Warland would suffer major damages by giant monsters and alien creatures, but people here are so strong that they can handle them without help from mega structures. Despite that, there’s an important one that needed to be fortified and became the heart of the Great Grassland, the GREAT FORGE, where the Bellum’s weapons are produced.

FIRELAND, land of volcanoes and dinosaurs

After the constant eruptions that created the lava cycle, the toxic air became more clear and breathable. However, the temperature is still high, making it perfect for cold-blooded dinosaurs, the main familiar in Fireland. Sharing this affinity with their familiars, the main race of Fireland is the SQUAMIAN (scaly), and their skin shows some reptilian scales in irregular areas. Sometimes they have so many reptile characteristics they may be called Reptilians as well. In addition, adult Squamians have orange-red eyes with horizontal slit and their body can work both with cold blood and with hot blood. Their hair may commonly be frizzy and or having reptilian elongated scales among the hair strands. Additionally, they have reptilian healing power, being able to grow a whole new member if it is lost, being also able to always heal well from deep burnings.

Fireland city-state is the CITY OF FLAMES, located among the four great volcanoes and the five temples of flames of unquenchable fire.

Fireland’s megastructure is called the CIRCLE OF FIRE. Here the continuous flood of lava from the volcanoes forms a circle around the main city, protecting it. The extension of the lava rivers from one riverbank to the other is around 10km. At the center, supporting the whole City of Flames, there’s a huge glazed rock, surrounded by obsidian rocks placed by Solis, the goddess of fire and courage herself.

GROUNDLAND, the land of soil and beasts

At first, Groundland was just a land with a great wall so immense it didn’t let anyone live there. After Stella, the goddess of earth and beasts made her home there, she called all the animals and turned the place into an animal sanctuary. She then made tunnels that helped the animals cross the land and each animal, each one who could answer her call, was placed in the order she wanted. The nightingale, her favorite, was placed at the very center, and the unicorn, her mount, above it. The cat, otherwise, was so lazy that she left it in the very corner, needing to deal with their only neighbors, the rats. Eventually, nature had other plans and closing the animals in only made them feel their links with their partners getting stronger each day. One day, when the world was suffering from another plague from space, all animals called for her help, to free them into the world again, so they could help the humans. Her heart of stone felt warm with so much compassion, and she led each animal to the final battle, among humans and animals. The battle was not won so easily. In her last call, Stella conjured the king of all beasts, chimera, and together, they got rid of the enemy.

There are a total of eighteen animals that govern Groundland, and each one shares characteristics with their partners. From this union, the ANIMALIAN race was born. They share some characteristics with their familiars, like horns, feathers, fur, teeth, etc. However, they have one thing in common; the white in their eyes turns yellow with time.

Groundland city-state is called JIN GONG (Gold Palace), and it’s a complex of palaces that includes the residence of the Huangdi (Yellow Emperor), Groundland’s sovereign, as well as the special entrance to the Tiangong (Celestial Palace), the city above the clouds.

Groundland’s megastructure is called DA MIGONG (The Great Labyrinth), with its great walls, with a length of 10km and 5km of altitude, going around the whole continent, forming the 17 kingdoms borders. The only way to pass through the walls is the goddess tunnels, kept open only by the tunnel workers, as the lapis potentia power would easily close them down. Any attempt to fly over Da Migong seen to activate powerful air currents that increase substantially pulling anyone away until there’s no intruder. It is better to take the long way.

WINDLAND, the land of meditation and birds of prey

Windland is known for having the highest reliefs and for holding Geonova’s highest peak that it is also Windland’s city-state, MAHAAN SHIKHAR (The Great Peak).

Inside the Mahaan Shikhar, it’s said the most powerful birdman once build a place to meditate in peace and once he was done, he floated away, ascending to higher planes. It was also said the birdman was Judicium, the god of wind and meditation, and he was one of the sons of Garuda with a Geoling. It’s unknown for sure, as the god of meditation never spoke even to the emperor king, but Judicium is surely a god and the main population of Windland is composed mostly by the PANKHON (Wings), the winged people. Their largest wingspan is around 10m, which eventually is not good enough to help them fly by themselves, so they use magical air currents to take flight and glide in Windland’s strong air currents. Another characteristic they developed is their capacity of living in higher altitudes during their whole life. As most humans would live for some months around 5’000m of altitude, the Pankhons can live higher, living normally at 10’000m and having the strongest ones to be able to live at 14’000m of altitude for years. All thanks to their meditation powers.

The adult Pankhon has violet eagle-like eyes, and their feathers colors match their hair colors, also sometimes growing up some feathers among their hair. The colors of their feathers follow the pattern from their familiars, normally being born with gray down feathers and they gradually change to brown, black or white fathers. The first flight normally takes at the age of 18 years old.

Windland’s megastructure is called DHYAAN MAHAL (meditation palace), the triple city under Mahaan Shikhar. The city-state has three fronts, forming a tetrahedron that starts at 3’000m and goes up to 14’000m of altitude, and each front is considered a different city, being the north front ruled by the Hava (Ventus) family. Each vertical city has 12 levels.

Despite being a reclusive people that rather prefer to fight while standing still and meditating, and live inside the underground cities, Pankhons are also considered the most violent people in Geonova after the well-known Insecta Massacre. A group of rebels from Windland kidnapped and ate over one million Insectans (insect humanoid men) around the world. Horrified by that, other continents started to call the Pankhons as Jangalee (wild ones). That cut most of the relationship of Windland with the rest of the world and restricted the Insectans to Woodland’s mainland.

WATERLAND, the land of waterfalls and beauty

Built over flooded and wet lands, Waterland is known for its seven waters: sea, rivers, ponds, wells, dew, springs, and waterfall. In its center, you will find the GREAT WATERFALLS, Waterland’s city-state, hanging above Geonova’s greatest waterfalls. Home to Waterland’s fashion and anything related to art, if you are looking for the beauty in life, here is the best place for you.

As people grow up among the wetland here, they developed bigger eyes with protective membranes and the capacity of breathing in and out of water. They are called PISCIANS and as adults, they have cyan eyes and cyan hair. Sometimes they also develop fish scales and they can swim at high speed.

WATERFALL GARDENS, Waterland’s megastructure, is its most ambitious project, a city built over a flooded land, having canals and waterways close to the building entrances level running off cliffs about 1’000m high around the Great Waterfalls' borders. As if it wasn’t enough, all constructions are hanging gardens, making the buildings look like natural green mountains and the waterfall temple have handmade waterfalls flowing off its top.

STORMLAND, the land of rain and twins

Stormland’s weather is the most peculiar in the whole planet. In the south, it is summer every day; in the north is winter every day; and from west to east, it’s always raining, non-stopping. The only way to make it stop raining is controlling the weather magically or you will need to survive through any weather here. Evolving to be more resistant against Stormland’s crazy weather, the Stormlings developed a skin able to change accordingly to the weather. Against dry and hot weather, the skin changes to dark red color; to cold and dry weather, the skin color changes to white violet; if it’s still hot, but there’s some drizzle, their skin changes to orange; if it’s snowing, their skin changes to blue; if the weather is hot, humid and pouring, their skin changes to yellow; if there’s a blizzard, their skin changes to cyan; and finally, if there’s a stormy weather with plenty of lightning, their skin changes to green. Because of that, they are called CHROMATISHANS, the colorful ones. If they are far from any kind of weather, inside a covered place, their skin changes to a pinkish tone, following their glowing in the dark magenta eyes and pink hair. Curiously, in Stormland there’s the highest incidence of twins and conjoined twins.

Stormland’s city-state is called ETERNAL RAIN, and it’s the second less populated city-state. That happens because its center is where it’s localized the lapis fulgur. Despite all the attempts to make the Eternal Rain stop, it just makes it get stronger and violent, washing away any construction ever built close to the lapis potentia, or destroyed by the intense strikes of lightning from the thunderclouds.

Due to the need of protecting citizens from the storms, Stormland created the CERCLE D'AURORES (Aurora Circle), a circle of towers that absorbs the electricity from the lightning strikes, powers the whole continent and, at the same time, works as weather towers, providing real-time climate change information and minimizing the weather effects. The circle goes around the eternal raincloud, an area at the center of the city-state surrounded in dense fog and it’s said the cloud reaches above 6’000m of altitude. It’s known that, inside the eternal cloud, there’s a simple civilization composed of people made of water, the ‘Les Gens De L’eau’ (Water People). The L’eau ones, despite being made 99% of water, can change how they look and resemble normal humans. Chromatishans seems to have evident hatred against the L’eau people.

WOODLAND, the land of flowers and insects

Woodland’s population is composed of the FLORIANS, the flower amazons, beautiful plant women with flowers growing up among their hair, living in the BLODEUYN HARBOR (Flower Harbor) Woodland’s city-state, and the INSECTANS, humanoid insect men who live in Woodland’s mainland. Both are born from the Pryfed a Blodau (insects and flowers) ritual that fertilizes the Coeden Bywyd (the Tree of Life) and they are born from its fruits. The Florian women have their hair color as the same color from their flowers, their skin is slightly green, as there’s chlorophyll in their blood, and their eyes are emerald green. The Insectans, on the other hand, have six limbs, normally two legs and four arms, big compound green eyes, antennae and, sometimes, wings. Their bodies have an exoskeleton to cover their soft organs, but their joints are mostly useless against brute force and it’s easy to take their limbs off. Insectans are mostly kind and curious and barely would do any harm. Because of their opposite nature, Florians protect Insectans most of the time.

Blodeuyn harbor has restricted entry. Normally, no man is authorized to remain on the island after midnight and no one is supposed to remain on the island in fertilization season.

Woodland’s megastructure is the COEDEN WYCH (Great Tree) itself, the hugest living being on the planet, covering kilometers and kilometers with its branches, trunks, and roots, and they are also the home for the Insectans.
