Carvon

Carvon is a planet in the Other Universe and is one of the most significant planets in the Tales of the Other Universe series, serving as a setting for several important events.

Geography
The planet contains five continents and five oceans. The planet is similar to Earth in its climate distribution in regards to the equator and hemispheres.

Races and Culture
Carvon is home to a wide variety of sentient races as well as millions of species of flora and fauna. The spread of advanced civilizations covers the whole planet, but the progression of each civilization varies widely from each race and kingdom. The Allied Tribes of Carul, for instance, is a loosely connected network of arooghalest tribes that maintain a range of primitive to feudal civilizations, while the Republic of Gravell has established a nation of industry and techology on par with 18th century England as well as advanced technologies not yet known to Earth.

History
Carvon has a lengthy history dating back to the beginnings of the Other Universe. Since the earliest civilizations came about, the human and non-human nations warred with each other. In order to conquer their enemies, both sides worked on developing more advanced technologies until the dawning of a nuclear age. After the beginning of a nuclear war threatened to destroy the planet, both sides realized the danger of the technology they had developed and determined to return to an age of simplicity with greater reverence towards nature. Despite their disagreements, all nations complied with the decree except for the Republic of Gravell, which kept developing its technology in secret.

At the end of the fourth millenium, a being with power on par with a Legend called The Baggins appeared and declared war on the world, establishing his capital on the continent of Darkadia and beginning his efforts to take control of every nation on Earth. For the first time in centuries, the human and non-human civilizations joined together to fight the menace rising up from the south. With the help of Cody Moon, The Baggins was defeated and peace was restored to the world. The Creator, in an attempt to wipe the evil of the war from history, began to convince future generations that The Baggins was merely a myth and that the war was a cautionary tale against rising up against the Creator.

Carul, the western-most continent of Carvon, is the setting for many important events, including the events of To Touch the Sky and the War of The Baggins.
