What is Eterna?
- Eterna is a world that serves as a sort of hallway. In this 'hallway', there are thousands of doors. Each door may lead into another hallway, or it may lead into the rooms. The rooms are realms, and the branching hallways are like dimensions. Alternate dimensions occur in most, but not in all. The dimension hallways have rooms of their own that lead into their timelines.
Traveling from Eterna to another realm or timeline is very difficult and requires a lot of energy, but traveling from anywhere into Eterna is incredibly simple, as the realm is a center-spot of all others and where all realms' inhabitants are more attracted to.
Geography-wise, Eterna is very similar to Earth, albeit it is quite smaller than it. It had a similar atmosphere, although the air is much cleaner than Earth's, even incredibly noticeably. The stars at night, because of this, can be seen much better. Eterna also has a "magic aura" only visible at night, where energy from magic or power usage concentrate and are "fixed" until they can be usable as active magic again.
Cultures in Eterna are very widespread and unusual, almost as much as the various species of creatures that have as much -- or more -- intelligence as humans. Technology also varies; it may be more advanced in some places, while in others not much at all. Larger cities and capitals, of course, have more of a diversity of cultures and technology, as they are often tourist and trade destinations.

The smallest of all continents, and with the smallest population, Brenoth is a very diplomatic continent, preferring to talk and discuss things rather than fight about them. They also have a fairly small military, but their economy is stable. They are leading in the exportation of livestock and farming.
The city of Gravenhollow is the second-largest city in Brenoth, second only to the capital Silvergate. It is purely a port town, but huge annual festivals bring tourists every year at the start of the harvest season where they praise the deities of Eterna for allowing them to have a harvest, and prayers that it will be abundant. In Frosford, this is where the livestock and farming is central to, with most of the population being farmers and ranchers.
The capital, Silvergate, is fairly rich and known for the beautiful architecture. On the outskirts of the capital, like in Frosford, are farms and ranches, but fewer than in other cities.
Includes the Passage Sea.

Leorin -- Leorins [LEO]

Major Cities: Aqualonia [Port-West], Vigiliae [Outpost-East, Market]
Climate & Area: Hot further north year-round, average winters and summers in the middle, and cold winters and mild summers in the south, precipitation varying from mild to heavy; wildlife varies greatly, but there is more in the north.

- Capital: Esmthyr
Major Cities: Nynedell [Port-West], Kyver [Outpost-East, Port, Market]

Major Waterways: Northern Swamp, Candlelit Passages [Far East], Cloudy Passage [Central]
A continent with several rivers, swamps, lakes and surrounded by ocean and islands, Trachae is one of the reasons Eterna's continents are mostly centered around their most profitable business: port. Seafaring has long been their legacy, and they are also known for buying and selling incredibly rare goods. However, Trachae is often known as one of the darkest continents, as many criminals reside in the huge cities. Some cities and towns even have crime districts that law bringers don't dare enter. Doing so means certain death or severe, severe punishment.
The city known as Nynedell, located just north of the Northern Swamp, is by far the most crime-oriented city of all of Trachae, with little to no traditional law-bringers there. The crime district makes up most of the city. In Kyver, on the other hand, is one of the least crime-oriented, as much of the military power of Trachae is split between it and the capital. Punishments tend to be harsh for even minor crimes here.
The capital, Esmthyr, is the second-largest and most sprawling capital, with a rich economy. "Evil-doers" are overlooked for the most part here -- unless they're trying to steal money, which many Trachaens who live in Esmthyr guard in a deadly manner.

Climate & Area: Tropical, hot summers and warm winters, large amounts of precipitation in the "wet months"; wildlife varies intensely.
Major Waterways: Cloudy Sea
- A group of many islands, known as the Sky Islands, and the famed Sun and Moon islands, this area in the Middle Ocean is considered the Astral Waters. Some people consider it to be it's own continent of sorts, though many others consider it a part of Trachae.
Many of the people in Melesi are learned in the art of sailing and/or shipbuilding, and is one of the largest cities in the world. Eel's Eye is where these ships are sold at, as it is a market and trade city, making it also a huge city. Schad is home to a small caravan known as the Astra Caravan runs from the major cities to small towns along the edges of the islands and occasionally to Trachae.
The Sun and Moon Islands are known for their incredibly elaborate religious ceremonies that even attracts tourists that don't worship the deities of Eterna to watch, especially on one of their nights known as the Sacred Hours. In this night, huge celebrations occur all over the Astral Waters--so many that they can occasionally be seen from the edges of Trachae and Winderia.
- Surrounded by the Middle and Southern Ocean.
Includes the Cloudy Sea
