The Known World

From the bellowing peaks of the Matdhü Chain mountains to the deep waters of the Azure Sea, our world is wide filled with beautiful sights and fascinating mysteries. Danger lurks in the shadows and behind bushes, but experience will teach you how to best avoid it.

With enough patience (and a fair share of luck), you will find yourself able to explore ancient ruins while nimbly dodging whatever traps lay hidden, or braving the raging chaos of the wild without a sweat.

Danatelian Lands

Home, sweet home. Its name taste like honey, a melody that fills my heart. Hills and fields that stretch beyond the horizon, sunsets that paints the sky a thousand colours as it descends in the blue waters of the sea. Yes, I am quite lucky to call Danatelia my home.

— Abelard Nak

For all its many wonders, I'd have to say Danatelian architecture is among the most marvelous. One has not really seen true beauty until they have gazed at the golden walls of the Sundrop Room.

The food is quite remarkable too- one simply must stop by their renown bazaars to try out delicacies from all over the world.

The Danatelian people themselves are warm and welcoming, and you will feel at home in their towns and cities in no time. Beware as you travel on unguarded lands though, for bandit attacks are not uncommon.

Principality of Bajou

Set east off the coast of the Danatelian Lands, the @prin has long remained secular, leading rise to many superstitions regarding what lies on that forever misty island. The cold attitude of Baja's does not help dismiss that austere reputation. But they are renown for their wealth, and as such almost anyone is willing to put up with their dismissive attitude to get their share of the pie.

Matdhü Chains

Whilst the mountain chain can look inoffensive from afar, do not let its peaceful clouds deceive you. Behind them hide storms, the fury of Argus the Lightning Thrower himself, making it impossible to pass over its snowy peaks.

My ancestors have allowed me to cross the mountains safely more times than I've deserved. Just making it through one pass is hard enough- try making it through five times!

— Testimony of Talmond Hviteik

However, this does not make the Matdhü Chains bare of life. Great Dwarven Cities are nestled atop white summits , whilst druidic circles and other small groups roam the valleys below.

Living in the Matdhü Chains is no easy task, and certainly builds character. Just like the mountains they come from, denizens of the Chains are strong at heart and hard to break. Though what lies beyond the mountains, even they do not know.

Lands of the Wind

As I child, I was told the Lands of the Wind were the home of the great Aher the Green, and that his home was filled with danger and mystery. It is only recently that I have had the chance to travel there and see the beauty of these nothern lands myself, and I had the pleasure to travel alongside an Uluswa tribe.
