Supposedly the once largest continent of the planet (with most of it being buried under the Ice Wall), Valmaira is not a place that people usually want to go. The harsh, frigid conditions of this land leaves many people to overlook it. Valmaira is most known for being the origin place of all Psionics on the planet - every person with psionic powers have had some connection to Valmaira in the past whether they once had a family on Valmaira or lived there personally. Psionics play an integral part in the societies and religions of Valmaira including the Second Creed and the Children of the North.
