Uwa

Uwa, [pronounced: uwa] was a small star in an unknown system that was transformed into a planet by the shattering of the first being, El.

History
After the death of El the Shards of El fell on the small star of Uwa, pouring tremendous amounts of energy on the surface and through the core of the star. This event caused the everburning star to be estinguished and filled with water created by the gods, who then created land and let fate decide its shape. Now a planet, Uwa hosts life and prosperity, with a balance between the energies.

The Continent
The big continent Gimlad is divided into nations, each ruled by powerful and different civilizations.
