Vigrid
Vigrid exists in a universe parallel to Earth, ihabited by mythological creatures and figures. And a few humans!
Geography
Geographically, the majority of the civilized world exists on a Pangaea-esque super-continent. There are numerous small islands covering the rest of the planet, but very, very few have anything populating them but sparse plant life and fish-eating birds. Most of the land is fairly temperate, with temperature differences owing more to altitude than location on the continent. There are two exceedingly large mountains towards the center of the land, the taller in the west and the eastern one being an active volcano.
There are around 12 large countries on the mainland and many smaller tribe on the southern islands. In recent memory, there are about 15 main weak spots connecting to Earth, from around 1850 AD to 2200 AD.
Fauna & Flora
The world was, until around 6500 years ago, populated solely with mythological figures- all mythological creatures from all religions that ever have and ever will exist on Earth, from centaurs and unicorns, to the Pompyon (a race of non-humanoid creatures with intelligence fer exceeding humans that will come to be worshiped by a certain cult on Earth around the year 2340,) to the Creator Almighty himself. However, around that time, "weak spots" began appearing in the veil between worlds and humans that stepped into said spots fell into Vigrid, where they were trapped forever, barring anything but divine intervention (which is not entirely unheard of, especially in the early years when the human's numbers were few.) Vigrid's location in relation to Earth is not entirely linear- humans crossing over usually come from within roughly one to two centuries of each other, though extreme outliers do exist.
The "Wildlands" were once home to the largest and longest lasting weak spot in the world's history- lasting from around 400 years ago to about 120 years ago, and spanning from shortly before North America's Cretaceous period to some time during the Ice Age. The wildlife in the area is the most dangerous living on the planet.

Natural Resources
Geologically, Vigrid is very similar to Earth. The main difference is in how resources are processed- magic is widely used here.
