Uthilith
"While it's a mere blip in the span of the cosmos, Uthilith is our home. It was built not by a god, but a mortal who loved his kin far too much. Though it is mired by strife and conflict, at its very core is this all-encompassing love for the land - let us revel in the world's embrace."
-Squall Uhrheart
Although described as a demiplane by many scholars upon it, Uthilith is instead more aptly described as a "Secondary Material Plane" due to its placement and superimposition over the Primary Material within the Multiverse. It is the place where the vast majority of mortal souls live after its Genesis following the Second Great Calamity upon the original Prime Material. Uthilith is the setting in which adventures are mainly set due to the eclectic combination of alignment, faith, and heritage. Due to its place amongst the Multiverse, it possesses a high population of monsters (ranging from locally-grown Monstrosities to Aberrations from beyond even the Great Wheel). The world is constantly influenced by the immortals created from the consciousness and acts of the mortals upon the Secondary Material, and the immortals are capricious beings who meddles in everyday affairs.

Geography
Uthilith has an incredibly varied geography in thanks to the presence of Ley Lines that snake across the world (a flat-earth model that loops at the borders). The proximity to such sources of raw magic permanently altered both the shape of the world and the world's climate, with some pockets of magical energy being far more potent than others.
Upon the Genesis, Uthilith was a singular supercontinent that has remained unnamed. However, less than a decade after the creation, the continent rapidly split apart and gravitated towards the major convergences of Ley Lines in an event called the Primeval Drift. One of The Notebooks of Astrid Ermendrud recounts the events of CY 9-12, the estimated years in which this rapid shift occurred.
Tempora, the world's largest continent in total land size, has the most varied and erratic geography of the five Uthilithian continents. In its Hebra region are frigid mountains and desolate plains, the Faron region is home to dense Fey forests and rolling hills, Ikana possesses copious badlands and scorching deserts, and Necluda is pristine wine country. One of Uthilith's only active volcanoes - the Isle of Eldin - is off of the Faronian coastline.
Thur Nirkhum is the most geographically homogenous of the continents: the "flatlands" near the Risusloch and Cantusloch, and the "arctic duo" of the Schneespitze Tundra surrounded by the Coronet Highlands.
The Twin Kingdoms of Chaelwyth are split by the Boundary Forests and bisected by the Hearthstone River. With the exception of the Western Slopes and the Severnus Hills, the continent is fairly flat (though the Eastern Kingdom is somewhat higher in elevation than the Occidental).
Iacchus Argentum is home to the Stridorloch, the biggest body of freshwater in the world. It has the Calibran Mountains on its northern peninsula, the Sanscomb Forest along its northern-central border, and plains for the remainder of the continent. In the early days of Uthilith, the Creator created The Great Divide in an attempt to exterminate a large horde of aberrations that came unto the world.
The Forgotten Continent is a land almost wholly untouched by mortals, having only reentered public consciousness between the years of 1624 and 1679. It is home to the Tree of Life, an organism that grants all on Uthilith their vitality, a central mountain range featuring the tallest mountains in the world, and various other landforms befitting of its humid subtropical climate.
