Jagdas

Jagdas was a continent/world that was inhabited by many peoples who now inhabit Rathnir. It was home to many predominantly Human nations and peoples before the Jagdasian Crisis, causing many of the Jagdasian refugees to migrate to Rathnir. Of the various states of Jagdas, only Yimmu-Audal remains as the one state that moved its entire government to Rathnir and still survives independently.

Migration to Rathnir
The Corruption of Jagdas contributed to the migration of Jagdasian peoples to the lands of Rathnir. Many people claim that a great collapse of society occurred and many disasters fell upon the continent. The people of Yimmu-Audal left and found the lands of Yimmu-Audal, while people from Bimare found the lands of Valdreach. It is also believed by some that the connection between Jagdas and Rathnir were older than this, as some academics argue that humans originated in Jagdas and began to migrate into Rathnir, displacing the Niedene. The method of transport to Jagdas is theorized by some to have occurred via the End Portals littered across Rathnir. While it is commonly accepted among the general populace that this is true and that Jagdas is on a seperate plane to the rest of Rathnir & Eldham (known colloqially as Celeia), a few scholars, however, dismiss this hypothesis, as many Jagdasites' stories do not seem to include these portals. The Niedene hold the belief that Jagdas was to the west of Rathnir, not a whole separate plane of existence. This has been disproven in recent years by the discovery of the Far West & the continents of Akan'nash & Hesperdin, as well as efforts by scientists to map the entire world. There is still room for debate for the existence of Jagdas on the same plane of existence as Celeia, however it would be much further west than many previously expected.
