Lura is the most western country on the continent of Aenica. Whilst famously a primarily flat country, Lura's landscape is marred by three isolated volcanoes, each of their peaks able to be seen from miles around.
Malashta is the capital city of Lura, the country's centre of culture, art, and religion. It is a city of extremes, with the desperately poor living in slums stacked against the walls of elaborate noble estates.

The Caspians are the dragon inhabitants of Caspid, an island in the Grey Waters in northern Caia.
Larinsa is an isolated island in the Grey Waters to the south of Achia. On first glance, it appears to be completely surrounded by high cliffs, but these unwelcoming rock faces hide a hidden sea cave that leads to a sheltered port.
The actual name of the god it was once dedicated to has been lost to time, but people still occasionally visit to leave an offering to all those gods that have been long forgotten.

The island of Tenepid has the distinction of being both the largest and flattest of the former Pid Isles.

Keld is one of the larger settlements on the island of Bril. It is famous for keldsir, a hard cheese made of sheep's milk.

Dacren used to be the capital city of Caillah, until 3387 EA when it was mostly burnt down by what is now known as the Great Fire.

Hi, everyone! I'm Emy. I've got a PhD in Creative Writing, and am currently working out what to do next. I enjoy writing to explore themes and societal issues, and worldbuilding is an extension of that. I am also working on my art to be able to draw my characters and the world I am building. I'm sure that I'll start building more worlds now that I'm here. I have two cats, five guinea pigs, and numerous fish, shrimp, and aquatic snails. Looking forward to getting to know people and their worlds! :)
