Equasia

Equasia is a magical world and the setting for most of the story. It is accessed through seven magical Gates, one of which leads to the non-magical world, or the "Norm." It was originally inhabited by wild magical horses, but is now inhabited by horses, wizards, and many other creatures.

The Wild Lands
Main Article: The Wild Lands

The Wild Lands are the six main biomes of southern Equasia, surrounding the River Equus, where most horses live. They are the Thunderlands, Windlands, Shadowlands, Lightlands, Firelands, and Aqualands.

The Darklands
Far west of the Wild Lands is a dark canyon called the Dorklands by some, becuase it is home to the Tenebrae. Horses avoid going there unless they are part of the Lux Agency.

The "Wizardlands"
Humans live east of the Mapiya Mountains, further up the river. Horses refer to this area as the "Wizardlands"

Magi
Magi is the wizards' city and the center of human life in Equasia. It is like most other cities, with shops, hotels, and the usual selection of tourist attractions. Some horses live in Magi, though they consider it "cramped."

The EWI
The Equasia Wizards' Institution is an organization based in Magi. The Institution loosely manages wizard society and studies the abilities and limitations of magic to gain a greater understanding of it. EWI wizards maintain relations with wild horses and offer to teach magic to anyone willing to learn (human or horse).

History
Horses have lived in the Wild Lands for hundreds of years. Though their societies were more isolated then than now, their interactions with each other were predominantly peaceful. After all, they were united by a common enemy: Nox Tenebrae. The presence of the Nox has shaped most of Equasian history, even though no one knows their exact origin or motivation. One by one, the Wild Lands were established as horses formed larger herds for protection, defined boundaries, and explored different magical styles.

Eventually, humans came to Equasia. Exactly when or how this happened is unclear, but a very popular story explained the bond formed between the mythical horse Equus and a girl, Magi. Currently, human and horse societies have melded together and continue to coexist peacefully.
