Distorted Europe lore (a bit rushed because I made this up a day ago and kinda forgets):

The setting takes us Roughly 1000 Years before Earth world (1000 BE), the lands of the North are covered in an Ice Age, but the signs have said the ice is slowly retreating. According to legend, 300 years before, a powerful wizzard by the name of "Merlock" unleashed the Enderdragon onto Earth. An army consisted of 300 men led by 10 heroes made their way towards the Enderdragon deep within the lands of Iceland. After many deaths, the surviving 200 men (and the 9 remaining heroes). However, the Wizzard swore revenge and put a curse on the world that would last for 1000 years. Every century there will be a large catastrophe that will rock the world and reshape the terrain. The 9 remaining heroes and their 200 men went home to find there is nothing left, the 9 men went their separate ways and founded their own kingdoms, on which few survived to today.

3 Cataclysms later, The ice age of the third Catastrophe is almost over, and Humanity is starting to enter it's Golden Age of the East. However, when the Ice melts, the 4th Catastrophe, the Great Flood, will send most of Humanity, which lies upon the coast, to their doom.

Meanwhile in the East, there have been tales of an Empire, and it's capital is made of Emeralds, where everything is bought and sold by Emeralds. And the armor of their Armies blind their enemies from their gloriousness. But most dismissed this as hogwash.

Nations in this world aren't as connected, most are isolated from each other. Likely due to the Ice Age. The Major civilizations as far are what lies in the Middle-east are the Medicians, a vast Empire stretching from Kuwait to Anatolia. They are at odds with the thirteen major tribes of Thrakia, whom are attempting to unite against the Empire.

several other civilizations had been scattered around Europe as well, though most have died out because of the previous three catastrophes.

Though what is most peculiar is that steppe tribes from the East are fleeing and moving into Europe... many had wondered why.
