Cosmology
Jericho Space
Here's a map of Jericho Space, which is the solar system where the Wold resides. Little is known about the other astral bodies.
The Planes
The Wold exists in planes other than the physical. Learn about the lands of the dead and shadow realms.
The Wold
Ever wondered what the Wold looks like from above? Here's a map. Believe it if you will.
The Continent of Yrth
This is the northern continent of the Wold. Only the tiny peninsula at its southern tip is known to be populated; vast tracts of land remain barren and uninhabited.
Elennian Peninsula
If the rest of the Continent of Yrth is sparesly populated, the Elennian Peninsula more than makes up for it. Here kingdows compete for space, and wars are not uncommon.
The Scab
The Scab is the mountain range that separates the Elennian Peninsula from the rest of the continent.
Crescent Valley
Crescent Valley is located in the northern end of the Red Hills. Filled to overflowing with halflings it is both a cheerful place as well as an important place. The inhabitants have great heart and are some of the most kindly in The Wold.
New Elenna
The kingdom of the Plateaus, situated to the east of the Peninsula.
Windhorn Hamlet
A village in northern New Elenna, once home to the Grey Knights
Plateau City
Atop the highest of New Elena's plateaus sits the mighty Plateau City, largest city on the peninsula.
Dradah Delmah
Dradah Delmah is home to the House of Bralfah, the tribe of Surface Drow. It is located in the Blackheart Woods, part of the Monster Preserve on the Second Plateau in New Elenna.
Culverwood
This large mystical forest is in fact an Immortal Power, a sentient power covering a large area of the Elennian Peninsula.
Emerald Kingdom
The kingdom formerly ruled by the evil Green Dragon Parnoth faces an uncertain future. Will the Emerald Dragons take over now Parnoth is dead?
Red Hills
When one speaks of the Red Hills, one usually means the part of the region north of the plateaus and south of Culverwood. Notable among the people of the Red Hills are the various tribes of halflings having varying levels of sophistication.
Izen
Named for the orcish word meaning “Sandwich”, this land is “sandwiched” between Blackbird Lake and the New Elennian plateaus. Not claimed by any principality, it has filled with demikind and monsters of every description.
Dirt City
Dirt City is an enigma in The Wold or for that matter just about anywhere.
Windbourne Hills
The Windbourne Hills is a land full of adventure and opportunity for whatever one desires. Full of chaos and diversity, excitement is just around the corner
Cinnamon Valley
Cinnamon Valley is a richly soiled area with a split population. First, there are the Hill People, who farm the land. Second, the the towns of the area are populated mostly by Hmanas, with a sprinkling of other invading races. These peoples existed in harmony with the Hill People, celebrating their coexistence yearly at the Festival of the Magpie, until the Jarl came.
Shadow Mountain
This is by far the tallest mountain on the continent of Yrth. No one knows for sure exactly how tall it is.
Aisildur
Aisildur is a vast Theocratical Empire that worships a powerful Cult Deity.
Blackbird Lake
This freshwater lake in Eastern Aisildur is the largest on the peninsula. Aisildurians fish it and sail it; the noble Lord Agor rules its western shore.
Fargunia and Zarthmoor
If Aisildur is the most oppressive of the invader/refugees during the time of the 4th Cataclysm. Fargunia is the most eclectic and isolationistic.
Taur Isles
To the west of Elenna there are three islands. One of the islands is inhabited by an enlightened group of Centaurs. The next by an equally enlightened group of Minotaurs. And the third by an exiled group of Liontaurs.
The Uncharted Lands
Well, I'm assuming this area is somewhere on the Continent of Yrth, but to be honest nobody is really sure. All that anyone knows for certain is that there's a whacking great big lake there, and that the lake (wherever it may be) is the new home of the Floating City.
Floating City
The Float is a vertical city with six levels, floating at the center of a lake.
The Southern Continent
The first thing one should know about the Southern Continent is that it is impossible to completely map or explore. Many magical barriers prevent access to certain isolated kingdoms while other events would change the map before you could finish it.
Gateway Downs
The People of the Gateway Downs have suffered greatly during the last 50 years.
Herenmar
A coastal town on the Southern continent.
Hook City
Welcome to the City of Magic! We wish your visit to our fair city to be a fun, pleasurable and profitable experience. May the gods bless you and yours for all time!
Ice Vein
A village lost in the icy wastes of the Southern Continent.
The Sargrass Plains
South of Skyhook is one of the most deadly and beautiful places in the Southern Continent: The Sargrass Plains. Many come from great distances just to see it. Some call it the Cursed Plains, the Grass Waste, or the Living Sea.
Rattledam
A major trading town in the Sargrass Plains.
