Often called "Old Oncar", the Oncare Empire is one of the most enigmatic civilizations of the Mage Wars. The Oncar were a large empire during the mid Dynastic Period, who may have rivaled the Marcon Alliance in power. Very little survives about the Oncar as they were wiped out by the Marcons.

Location

Being a major dynastic power, significant portions of the known worlds were once a part of the empire. However, the Oncarian style of governence was one of limited benevolance, so these worlds inherited little of Oncarian culture.

For this reason, Old Oncar(or even Oncar in general) typically refers to the region north-east of Rowen and boardering Ebeta. This is where the Oncarian capital was located, just a few thousand miles from the Marcon capital.

The remains of the empire are found in an unusual formation of mountains north of Rowen. The formation is supposedly the result of a massive Earthen Wave-spell used by the Marcons, forming a series of mountainous rings.

Weather Patterns

Unusual geologic formations in the remains of the Oncar Empire caused severe weather pattners all over the mountains, leading to powerful storms. While the area sees heavy rainfal, it is boardered to the west by a desert.

Deadlands

Known to have been part of the Oncarian empire, a vast desert to the west of the empire's heart contains some of the best-preserved examples of Oncarian ruins. Called simply 'The Deadlands', this region is also curious for living up to it's name. A combination of pressure-interactions with the outermost-range of mountains boarding old Oncar means the desert receives no rain, ever. No rivers flow through the desert either, it is, very simple, dead. Nothing but sand and rocks, for two thousand miles.
