Geography
Oldand is the name most commonly given to refer to the entire world, though it is in fact the name of the continent which makes up the vast majority of the known world, which was named a long time ago after the deity Yoldande. The continent is home to a wide range of varying ecosystems, from lush forests to dry deserts.

The northernmost area of the continent is covered in ice-lands, an area know as The All-Frosts. It is not known how far north the continent stretches as very few explorers have survived a journey far past the safety of Frost-Haven. Heading south the continent turns mountainous, followed by a large grouping of deserts at their feet. In the southeastern continent there is a massive lake, Lake Themes. The lake has rivers running west and east, and is fed by a river running from the north. Much of civilized world is situated along these rivers as it provides fertile farmland and an easy method of transporting goods. East of the river is The Dead Marshes. As with the All-Frosts, few have survived deep exploration into the marshes so the extent of how far the continent stretches to the southeast is also unknown.

Off the western coast of the continent are many islands. Most notable is the volcanic island of Avaros. The entire island was formed from the eruptions of the massive volcano, Great Avaros. The Lost Lands are also of note, three islands off the southwestern coast of the continent. Further south are a series of tropical islands known as the Castropics.
