Springland

Summeria

Autumnest

Winterna

Chūtral

And you’d be right to say that each one is based on seasons! Chūtral is the only one that actually goes through all four like our world.

I had to put down at least 5 rules to follow by in this world. After reading rule 4, you’ll notice there are different languages! This is mainly because of my small nitpick I have with stories that focus on traveling the world and how they… don’t come across any language barriers or other languages in general. Each country has a local language from our world (because I cannot come up with whole languages on my own)

Springland - English

Summeria - Swahili

Autumnest - Spanish

Winterna - Inuktitut

Chūtral - ASL

To get REALLY into it, we can talk about the Higher Beings and the Blessings they brought to each country!

Starting with the two main Gods of the world — Eumelia (the Goddess of Music and Life) and Rue (the God of Silence and Death). Long ago, the four seasonal countries were going through their darkest times. The Spring was full of sickness and plague; the Summer nothing but arid desert; the Autumn stuck with marshlands and mud; and the Winter having merciless cold. Eumelia grew tired of the suffering, wanting nothing more than joy and celebration for the people. She wanted fun, wanted LIFE! So she blessed four humans, one of each country, with gifts.

Cassindra, healing; pure waters for the Spring

Wian, growth; healthy plants and shade for the Summer

Teresa, stalwart; solid earth for the harvesting Autumn

Abram, warmth; cozy fires for the Winter.

The central island, Chūtral, was created when all four humans, or “Stems” as they were called by Eumelia, got together and shared their gifts. And when they felt they had done all they could, they returned to their lands and gave their blessings for futures to come.

That’s a rough summary of the origins of Continuum!

What’s that? “What about Rue” you said? Haha, not much is known about Him don’t worry about it ;P
