Albelius is the core Fables of Folly and Legend setting focussing on horror, the occult and paranormal activity. With the aesthetic and technology, primarily, of the Victorian era. The current temporal setting occurs during a time of significant expansion and exploration. While The Old World is fully settled with an almost entirely human population. Though in secret, those of other ilks do walk among them. First reached by an exploring party from Euland, in search of much smaller island discovered by a lost ship, which eventually found its way home to Waterlund, Kassitc became fertile new grounds for expansion and settlement which has not existed on Perepta or Sordosia for a very long time.
Upon spreading of the news, every country in The Old World, save Nin, Samora and Raklira launched their own expeditions. It has been some 47 years since the Eulandies made landfall in The New World, small settlements have begun to emerge along its western coast. Waterlund, struggling to keep up with Eulandi expansion on Kassitc over the past five decades, has now decided to explore West. While only a few parties have returned from the far western waters, none have returned with all their members remaining and the stories they tell are hardly believed by most. As Euland and other nations begin to hear such tales, most believe they are an attempt to keep others from following Waterlund in this new path of exploration.
What is yet to be discovered, or at least reported accurately, is that unlike Kassitc, there lives intelligent and notably inhuman beings in this newly rediscovered Lost World. Populated primarily by animalfolk, but also nearly feral Fae and Xaeri, cut off from the Feywilds and the Xaerilands. This comes as a result of this world's true purpose, to server as a prison to a truly ancient malevolent being, an Incarnate of Chaos, imprisoned deep within Albelius, with the world then cut off from the other planes to keep it from escaping. The only plane which Albelius still touches is Judakos, for the spirits of the dead to pass on.
