The World (Brief Overview)

The world of Reapers Dream is a continuously expanding realm. The main landmasses known and inhabited by sentient creatures are:


 * Durnathell
 * Lunsali
 * Svellheim
 * Yoruma
 * the major islands and archipelagos

Durnathell is the first continent humans and elves arrived on after the eruption of the Af Ancalen volcano drove them away from the far east. It is mostly settled by humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, harpies, Bardulf

or werewolves, Nirka, Bredas and other species. It has two mysterious regions, one called the Western Waste, to the far N-W corner and one called The Bloodlands near the center, both of them are home to dangerous ruins theorized to have been built by the civilizations from previous cycles of life, and yet to be discovered species that slowly crawl out like they would teleport from another world.

Lunsali is the second continent inhabited by humanity. They share it with other races such as the Aephyr or Spinx Folk and the Ullot or the Snake Folk. Past the borders of the civilized regions lies the Great Desert of Ara, a desert with orange sands, without any oasis for km. Aside from extreme heat, illusions and getting lost, the biggest threat is the Manteth, giant 3 headed scorpions which have the ability to cause sandstorms, they can also bury you alive then eat you after you die. No one has set foot at the other side of this desert and no one will soon, as it continues to slowly expand towards the north.

Svellheim is the third continent where humans have made their homes. It is a frozen land with large forests and lots of mountains. The tallest mountain in the world lies near the western coast (Mount Yarpen with 25km at its peak). The southern coast turns green during the summer, for 3 or 4 months, before temperatures drop again and it becomes an icy hell. The legendary Eotitan is native to this continent, a two meter tall carnivorous deer used by humans for transport, for battle and as life long companions.

Yoruma is the fourth and last continent where humans have landed. Not much is known about it since it lies in the far east. It is said that the whole continent is united under a single nation: The Dragon's Empire, founded by a mythical figure named Nagatake that came forward in time to unite Yoruma's warring nations against a larger threat.

Some of the major islands and archipelagos include:


 * Wulfland to the N-W of Durnathell, a magical land where rain and snow never seem to come yet you will always find snow in the colder parts, even if it smelts during the hot summer days;
 * The Trenston Archipelago to the S-E of Durnathell, inhabited by the little yet cultured rat people, the rat people hold the knowledge about everything that happened, and anyone who wants to read it and learn about the past must pass The 10 Trials and find a way to open a door in the barrier that surrounds the archipelago
 * Af Ancalen, the ancient home of all humanoid life forms in this world, although no one has found it yet, is certainly known to have existed in the previous cycle, one of the main theories is that it lies hidden deep beneath the waters, or far away to the E or N-E; the rat people know that Af Ancalen was a real island in the previous cycle, and the archipelago where they reside and the continents next to them were existing back then as well, what changed is just the shape and the climate, and possibly to some extent, what species have come to live and evolve in these lands, so therefore, if the same continents exist in this cycle, then Af Ancalen should be out there somewhere.
