Norrath has three continents: Tharron, Odus, and Faydwer. A fourth continent, Kunark, sunk beneath the seas long ago leaving only a chain of volcanic islands behind. The continents of Norrath are connected by a massive subterranean realm known as the Underfoot. Zones are divided up into different types of areas: civilization, wilderness, and dungeon. Certain skills and abilities only work in specific types of area.
