The World, Continents
Leus sat at the desk and picked up the Atlas, It was a book with a brown cover, Its title was
(The Archivist's Atlas, Basic Knowledge)
With excitement, Leus opened the book
On the first page, There was a note
(This book Magically updates all the dates, The location and the time at which you are reading it are irrelevant, It's accurate regardless)
'Oh? That's interesting'
Leus flipped the page
(The year 2110 of the Magic Era, The geography of the world is as follows:
There are four Continents,
The Northern Continent
The Eastern Continent
The Middle Continent
The Southern Continent
But before we dive into the details of each Continent, There are terms to be understood first
1- The Endless Ocean: Supposedly, An Ocean that surrounds the entire world.
The Ocean has multiple routes that connect Continents, However, Some of these routes have been shut for more than 400 Years for undisclosed reasons
2- The Deep Sea: A sea that the Blue River drains into from the east, And is connected to the Endless Ocean from the south.
The Deep Sea has the most important trade routes in the world, And unlike The Endless Ocean, The Deep Sea's routes are always open and safe
3- The Blue River: A River that splits the Eastern Continent into two halves, An upper half and a lower half
It starts from the Endless Ocean in the east and drains into the Deep Sea in the west
Some areas in the Blue River have special water that grants unique buffs, Such as Mana Refills and Stamina Increase, However, It's rare to find.
4- The Eternal Abyss: A mysterious zone located in the west of the Southern Continent
Imagine a colossal crater, seemingly bottomless.
It holds countless secrets, guarded closely by the enigmatic Echelon Dynasty, making information about it scarce and elusive.
That's The Eternal Abyss.
5- The Draconic Domain: Despite its name, All sorts of Beasts live in the Draconic Domain.
The Domain is heavily guarded by its denizens, Making passing through it normally impossible ESPECIALLY for humans.
Over 800 years have passed since the last research expedition ventured into the Domain. Yet, none returned, leaving no trace behind.
The Draconic Domain is being closely watched today. No one is allowed to enter or pass through it, as all the Kingdoms have agreed.
The Domain is located between The Eastern, Middle, and Northern Continents and covers a vast area of the world.
Among Beasts, It's known as (The Turf of The Dragon Lord).)
'Wow ... Eternal Abyss? Dragons? So many interesting things ... Buying this book was definitely the correct decision!'
Leus flipped the page wondering
'Which Continent am I in right now?'
Before Leus could continue, Viorica entered the room and called him
"Leus won't you eat something?"
"Mom? You're still awake?"
'She was making this room for me and didn't sleep the whole last night ... why is she awake'
Viorica replied
"Sleep? Silly you, And who will make the food for Amethyst and Merlin? And you too? And I need to do housework and study for Amethyst too, Now leave about all these things and Eat something"
"But you didn't sleep at all?"
"Don't worry, I'll sleep later, I have got things to do! Now eat then continue with your studies I don't want to disturb you"
Viorica kept the food on the desk and left the room
Leus sighed
'Mom really exhausts herself ... I want to make her happy'
'Actually, No, I will make her happy'
'If learning some spells is what will make her feel good then I'll do it'
Thus, While eating food, Leus vowed to put more serious efforts into learning Arno's spell book
After eating Leus returned to the book
'Time to learn about continents'
(The Northern Continent: In the past, The Continent was divided into 4 Zones, But now, Very little is known about it.
The Northern Continent is known for its cold and harsh environment, Yet, Countless races live in it.
It is also rumored that some areas have accommodating living conditions due to natural phenomena.
Detailed info regarding this continent is very limited, But one thing is certain, The Continent is inhabited by various Demon Clans, Humanoids, and Beast races.
Many undiscovered natural treasures and legacies of past Eras exist on the Continent, But the dangers are immense, Preventing humans from scavenging the lands, Or so Kingdoms claim.
No official reports have been released regarding the Northern Continent from any kingdom for at least 400 years)
(The Eastern Continent: The most prospering and flourishing continent among all the human lands.
The Continent is bordered by the Endless Ocean from the east, And from the Endless Ocean spurts out the Blue River and passes through The Continent's three Kingdoms
The entire continent is at peace, Except for the northwestern edge of it.
The Eastern Continent is connected by land to the Northern Continent, However, The Draconic Domain prevents anyone from using that route.)
(The Middle Continent: A relatively dangerous continent that has only two Kingdoms, But the inner cities of said Kingdoms are safe.
It is connected by land to the Eastern Continent, However, That area is a Strife Zone, Making it another, unusable route.
The Middle Continent is bordered by the Endless Ocean from the west, And is connected by land to the Southern Continent, But once again, It's a Strife Zone, Thus, The only way to safely enter or exit the Middle Continent is by using a Sea Route.)
Leus wondered
'Why are there so many Strife Zones? What's all the fighting about?'
'Maybe Dad knows, I should ask him later'
Only one continent remained, Leus flipped the page and began reading about it
(The Southern Continent: In this land rich with resources, there are two Strife Zones and a large desert, greatly reducing the livable space for Mortals. Additionally, the presence of the Eternal Abyss further restricts habitable areas. Despite these challenges, three kingdoms have emerged, and the three of them are fighting for power, resources, and more importantly, Space)
Leus took a deep breath
'That's a lot of fighting going on'
He flipped the page
'Anyway, Time to read about Kingdoms.'
