Ardura - (ar - dur - ah)  The continent of Ardura. The westernmost of the three known continents of The Remembered Lands. 

 

Old Yehven - (old yeh - vin) A large country in central Edura. Formerly the heart of the Yehvenki Empire, before starfall. 

 

Lovas - (low - vass) Means dominance in Old Yehvenki. A country in south-central Edura founded by the Ailaryan Order in the first century after Starfall. Lovas is also the name of the country’s capital city.

Gwelar - (gwe - larr) A wild country hewn out of the thick and tangled branches of the Gwelari Wetwood. A strange, occult sort of people live here, and most foreigners avoid getting anywhere close. 

 

Epithos (eh - peeth - ose) - A collection of islands allied as one powerful country. Known for their prowess in the sea, their ships amongst the finest in all of the Remembered Lands. A long time ally of Lovas. 

 

Neira (neer - ah) - A rich and vibrant country from the far south of Edura. Known for their spices and elaborate textiles, Neira has long maintained a good-standing relationship with Lovas. In exchange for their neutrality, they have largely been able to keep their culture alive through monthly festivals, and their free markets, which Lovas has banned everywhere else. 

 

Ni’an (nee - ann) - A prominent country in the far East of Edura. Known for their mastery of textiles, being the only place in all of the Remembered Lands where the precious commodity silk is produced. Lovasi scholars believe that the Ni’anese silk makers use eldritch magics conjured through demons to work their craft. 

 

Esher (Esh - er) - A country in the south of Ardura. Ruled by the Draku. Lovas has recently set their sights on conquering Esher. 

 

The Bone Islands - A group of islands off the southern coast of Esher. The kings and queens of these islands rarely co-operate, but they have been known to band together on the sea, uniting their Bone Fleet, a massive fleet of ships numbering in the many hundreds, for a worthy cause. 

 

Dagdora den cano (dag - dor - ah, den, kay - no) - The all-consuming fire, or, the end of things. A prophecy believed by the Draku, that one day the world will end in an all consuming fire. 

 

The Starfall - An event that destroyed the great Empire of Yehven around seventeen hundred years ago. An Abori mage used magics to bring a star down on the Golden City of Ailar, in Yehven. The impact turned the area around Ailar to dust and sent the world into many years of darkness.
