I made this because I wanted to do something truly unique. So, here it is: The Star of Vasmus. I hope you have fun with this.
The Lore
There's a reason they call it the Star of Vasmus. The island is very much shaped like a five-pointed star, with a neutral area in the middle. These five factions are all very greedy, and wish to claim the entire land. All of them are headed by a great Emperor, who, like, controls stuff.
The reason the middle land is so wanted is because of ancient ruins that stretch deep beneath the surface. Inside is the fabled Star of Vasmus, among many other ancient artifacts. These can be bound to your weapons to make them more powerful (like in Diablo 2)
The Land
[/i][/u]The Northwest:
This area is often seen as the most serene of the Five. It has dense forests and varied wildlife. The trees are good for sneaking around.
The North:
This land is a frosty tundra, ridden by snow and other such issues. Materials and food are scarce, and living is dangerous.
The Northwest:
This area is a temperate forest, with much less tree coverage than the NW. Vegetation is plentiful here.
The Southwest:
A barren desert with lots of ruins from a previous time. The ruins are dangerous, but hold many secrets.
The Southeast:
A jungle, more teeming with life than anywhere else in Vasmus. Very dangerous, but the trees offer good passageways.

The Stats
I wanted to keep it pretty simple, so there are 5 attributes: Strength (STR), Speed (SPD), and Intelligence (INT). STR determines your raw power in combat, SPD determines your quickness and ease of travelling, and your INT governs various things like resource gathering and special techniques. You start with 5 in every category and have 4 bonus points to allot however you like. You can also reduce your attributes to as low as 3 to get extra points to allot elsewhere.
NOTE: Anything put under a spoiler is for that faction's eyes only. NO PEEKING. EVER. Or you will instantly suffer a heart attack and be banished forever.
