Lisdan comprises the southwestern subcontinent and a section of the Eastern Continent proper. Due to this split landmass, the Lisdanese developed as a nautical race, and were not one of the initial five races of the Uaharté cradle of life. Despite this early isolation, the Lisdanese quickly became integral to the development of sciences and philosophy for the classical world. Indeed, it was the Lisdanese who charted the oceans, the skies, and gave innumerable discoveries to medicine, chemistry, alchemy, Ore Craft, physics and engineering. It is the Lisdanese language that has becomme the official tongue of scientific papers, and their naming conventions have dubbed the stars, planets, constellations and so forth; Ul-Zaorith is Lisdanese for "Fourth Planet".

 

The Lisdanese people are unique in being the only sentient race incapable of casting magic. In fact, by and large, the Lisdanese do not believe in its existence and have long pursued the sciences in the hopes of unravelling this pervasive mystery. Indeed, their many technological inventions (including Modified Pole-Arms, fire arms, siege weapons, alchemy, meditative healing, etc) have been their response to the advantages used by magic-casting races. Despite this one obtuse aspect of their culture, they are generally a cheerful, inquisitive people. They are ruled by an oligarchy selected by the advancement of their Souls. In the Lisdanese belief, the soul is continually reincarnated until it attains perfection, at which point it takes on a mentor role until it feels ready to rejoin the great cosmic energy that makes up the universe.
