Lay of the Land: The World Itself

The Good Realm of Perdition is a planet much larger than the natives know of, and much more unexplored than those would first suspect.

Over three fifths of the civilised people live in Commodious, a super continent some 100 square kilometres (over three times the size of Africa). Ranging from vast deserts in the south-east, to grasslands in the north-west, with the world's tallest mountains at its very heart.

In the earliest memories of the world, the continent was divided into six nations. Around the time of the Magical Cleansing, the nations were absorbed and the islands across the ocean were colonised by a single governing body which came to be called The Commodion Council of Thirty, unifying the known world under a single ruling force, a self-conflicted but cohesive utopia which lasted over a thousand years. In the year 1313MC, The Age of Magical Cleanliness ended with the dissolution of the Council of Thirty, and over a period of seven years, the nations reformed.

Across the water are hundreds of small islands, many scattered, but some clustered around greater islands, forming enormous island chains.

The Homunculus Isles are a string of five islands in the Rincefire Ocean, resembling from above, a man part submerged underwater. Each island is governed independently, but has a shared history as part of an island chain.

The Northern Havens are a chain of twelve islands in the Northcold. Except for the island of Yilaria, all of the islands are in a harsh winter for all months of the year. Each island is governed individually through either feudal lords of Thriist, roving barbarian tribes, Giants, or Dragons.

The Veiled Rock is a large, sub-continent, that emerged from the Sea of Bohir short days after the end of The Age of Magical Cleansing. During the Resurrection of Nations, many people from Commodious and the archipelagos settled on the new land and founded colonies on the land, independent of each other, as separate nations.

The Misty Isles are four small islands just off the northeast coast of The Veiled Rock. Situated inside a great mist off the north coast of Commodious, the fog is thick and has a light, natural enchantment that makes one strongly drowsy. These islands are largely jungle, and the fog itself sometimes passes over, but isn't strong enough to deter any settlers.

Okarthel is a large island populated entirely by Dragons. It was created by Dragons during the period of Magical Cleansing to act as a place of sanctuary during the Great Slaying. It is still largely governed by Dragons and individual slaves brought with them.

The Emblazoned Coals are a group of five islands in the Emblazoned Coals. They're known for tempestuous weather and frequent volcanic activity. They are almost solely populated by elemental creatures, Fire Giants, and Primords.
