| - | Continent has no name, which is exactly the point of contention, sparking one of the [[longest military conflicts]] in the known Universe, lasting 4-7 centuries, depending on the historical interpretation. 17 countries occupy the Continent, each fighting for its own version of the name of the land mass. Most countries name themselves by the name they want the Continent to be called, which creates a peculiar similarity between country names, due to adamant fighting over variations. | + | Continent has no name, which is exactly the point of contention, sparking one of the longest military conflicts in the known Universe, lasting 4-7 centuries, depending on the historical interpretation. |

The three religions have coexisted relatively peacefully and few conflicts were based on disagreements between the three. However, significant disagreements have spawned within each of the religions, which is especially true for Rahkahnja and Davinia, and have driven significant conflict throughout history, resulting in the Chalice Wars and a Tarnarian conflict known as Bitter Lemon which has lasted for over a century during the Second Revolution. | + | There are four major religions on the Continent: [[Rahkahnja]], [[Davinia]], [[Xaewoon]] and [[Foft]].
