The Western Continent
Thaldros
A land of snow-capped peaks, arid deserts and temperate woods, bound by the Iron Crown, feudal houses, and the discipline of empire.
World Guide & Campaign Setting
TIRVANDOR
The Realm of Deep Magic
A world divided. Two great continents severed by the Sundering Sea, each a wholly different philosophy of civilization and magic. Between them lie the Contested Lands, where neither power holds sway and fortune favors the bold.

Part I · The World
A World Divided
In the west lies Thaldros, a militaristic empire built on order, central authority, and feudal tradition. In the east sprawls Aethoria, a confederation of free cities and ancient forests where independence and harmony with nature reign supreme. Sixteen thousand years of history press upon the present day.

Year Zero
The Worldrend
The cataclysm that tore a single continent in two, created the Sundering Sea, killed over forty million souls, and reshaped reality itself.
From it, all dates are reckoned. What broke the world, and what was buried in its breaking, remains the deepest question scholars dare to ask.
The Fundamental Nature
What Makes This World
I
Grounded Realism
Heroes are not always virtuous, villains may hold legitimate grievances, and every choice carries weight that echoes through time.
II
Natural Magic
Power flows through ley lines, the ancient channels beneath the earth. Where they cross, nodes of wild magic shape the fate of nations.
III
Political Intrigue
Kingdoms, noble houses, guilds and secret societies pursue their own agendas. Webs of alliance and betrayal connect every seat of power.
IV
Historical Depth
Ruins dot the landscape; lost civilizations whisper through crumbling stone; lingering curses bind the present to the deep past.
The Atlas
A Continent, Charted
From the frozen Frostmarches to the volcanic Ashfall Barrens, from the Starwood to the Singing Fens, every road, ruin and realm has its place in the record.
