Lloegyr
"Scholars have long pondered the extent of the world in which we find ourselves. It has known many names, by many tongues. The Khemitians call it Gheb, the Hyperboreans Boros, after their now frozen homeland. The Foere call it Lloegyr, in their tongue it means The Lost Lands. The name is fitting, for the realms that once held the grandeur and luster of vast civilizations now lies as little more than scattered shadows of their former glory. But for most, it is simply called home.
The Lost Lands consists of three continents with two vast oceans in between. The northern most continent of Boros was the home of the Hyperboreans, the ancient race of men who conquered the known world and created the largest empire the world has seen. With their fall, and the shifting of the poles, Boros has been frozen over by an impenetrable sheet of ice, taking with it the empire that once stood for thousands of years.
The seat of civilization and largest continent is Akados. The Foerdewaith monarchy has held sway over the realms of man since the Hyperborean's fell, and despite its fracturing it still holds dominion over a vast swathe of the continent. The eastern portion of the continent holds the realm of the Oceanus Empire, while central AKados is dominated by the mercantile empire of Bard's Gate. The western portion of the continent contains the vast forest kingdoms of the Elves, the last bastions of their kind that remain on the continent. And lastly the far west of the continent contains the Xha'en Hegemony.
To the east, seperated by the vast Sinnar ocean lies the continent of Libynos where the kingdom of Khemit and the Ammuyad Caliphate rule.
Overhead, the blessed light of Solanus, the Sun, rises in the western sky and darts across the sky before finally setting in the east. The night sky gives way to the sisters, the larger moon Narrah, the Pale Sister, and the smaller Hecate, The Dark Sister.
Beyond the continents lie Mother Oceanus and the vast storms that rage across the sea. Scholars can only speculate what might lie beyond those impenetrable storms.
Many tales have been written on the lands of The Lost Lands, and many more will surely come. "
