Emergalv is the name given to a fantasy roleplay setting created in 2002-2005 by Avian Savara. Emergalv also refers to the main continent which serves as the theater for stories, legends and historical chronicles. The name Emergalv comes from the ancient language of the Amyul, a mysterious extinct race. The name means 'hope at sea', and fittingly so, has become the haven of refugees, exiles and colonists. The small continent (roughly the same size as the United Kingdom in our world) is the site of many a conflict, many a truce, and much tension. Four major people live on Emergalv and its sister island Sejko, and their non-military interaction is limited to common trade and some rare tourism.
