The Grand Welkin Archives of Elysium, Section on World and Geography

Pangea is the home and birth planet of humans, halflings, dwarfs, orcs and many more less common races. It's rich with different biomes and climates. High mountain ranges, frozen tundra and never-ending deserts. All divided by an endless sea. Its surface is home to diverse life, monsters and beasts alike. Having suffered the collision and the many gravitational disasters following, its landscape both hides and highlights ruins of large lost empires and divine temples. Between the wreckage of past civilisations, new kingdoms and cities have sprung up and blossomed despite the annihilation. Slowly fusing into the Pangea that now spins in space among the stars and planes.

The name was first coined by explorer and scholar Galib Amner, in his book The Circumference, In 1474 AD during the second age. He named it such, when he discovered that the earth was a globe by sailing around the entire planet.
Until then the world was referred to by its inhabitants as Gaia, as named by the Elisiat people at the beginning of the second age, Gaia meaning; ''mother earth, land''.
