The World

The World of Schism is set on a planet called Orin, that was shattered by a cataclysmic event known as The Great Schism, in which the world tore itself apart.

Massive amount of land were swallowed by the emerging Blackmyst from within the core, yet left five large islands relatively intact, floating above it at various heights.

As time went by, the survivors were able to rebuild their lives on three of the five islands, in which we now know as The First Commonwealth, Solae, and Penumbra, each with their own cities and governing system.

The other two islands are Precipice and The Boneyard

People also discovered that after The Great Schism, they were able to conjure up a certain type of magic, dubbed Infusions, which has a wide range of uses and capable of being learned by anyone.

They have also developed their technology with knowledge prior to the disaster, primarily technology involving steam powered devices.

Currently, humans are the predominant species roaming in the world, yet much is still unknown, especially concerning the Blackmyst.
