Nine Heavens: Cracks in Ice and Light

Continental Background: Eleudriion Original appearance: It was once a unified "Eternal Royal Court" with a highly developed magic civilization. Reason for the split: Ideological differences under the millennium rule - the central Holy See where "order is divine revelation" versus the scholar faction where "knowledge is power" versus the border ethnic groups where "autonomy is survival" Schism Event: "The Great Disintegration" - an all-out war caused by a conflict of ideas that resulted in the creation of nine nations Symbol of division: "Nine Covenants" - a peace treaty signed by the nine countries, which is actually a declaration of independence.
