Physical Geography

Physical Geography
The world (known simply as “The Globe”) consists of a single, large continent and a vast ocean. There are ancient tales of other continents that once existed, but all traces have been lost under the sea. It is likely that they disappeared thousands of years ago as a result of an event that reshaped the entire planet called “The Cataclysm.”

The continent is covered by a mountainous desert, called the Wastes, a dense forest to the southeast, and a large central city, called The Megalopolis. Eight major rivers flow throughout the continent, with smaller streams and creeks branching off of these rivers. There are four primary mountain ranges, with the largest being the Scarlet Mountains to the southeast. The highest peak is located within the Sunrise Mountains and called The Sun’s Spear because when the sun rises it appears to be perched perfectly on the apex of the mountain.

There are many ruins dotting the landscape of the continent, remnants of past empires that have risen and fallen with time. The largest ruin, called the Old City Ruins, is located just east of The Megalopolis. It used to be a major tourist destination, especially for the upper class, but lately it is considered a bit old-fashioned to visit, with the younger generation preferring the beaches of Cobalt Bay instead.

The Multiverse
The multiverse in this world is a simple world axis. At the center is the Material Plane; at the top is the Overheaven, which is separated from the Material Plane by the Astral Sea. Below the Material Plane is the Elemental Chaos and at the very bottom is the Abyss.
