NOVICE'S ATLAS - ABOUT ALYRIA

Description

The world of Alyria is layered and vast, comprised of several different planes, four continents, and hundreds of smaller islands. In the 'real' plane, or the physical world, where we are now, there are four continents. Sepharia, Auryn, Avros and Beltane make up the majority of the world's landmass, of which Sepharia is by far the largest and least dangerous. Alongside those continents and throughout the world are numerous islands, hideaways and craggy isles, looming over the raging waves of Oceanus Ingenii.

There are also hidden, darker sides to the world. Far beneath our feet is the Alyrian Underground, into which the city of Decara fell many years ago during the cataclysm. Strange, towering structures such as Hotel Hello and the Isle of the Sea Hag cast a pall over the black oceans of the under- ground, which host hundreds if not thousands of exiled pirates. This world is certainly not for the inexperienced nor those of lower level, and is almost entirely PK. Slightly further up, lying between the top-side and the Underground, is the Sigilian Underground, a smaller, less dangerous place than the Underground, although it is still all PK. Home to several Shrines of the Powers, this place often sees fierce religious battles.

The Faerie Plane also exists alongside the physical world. This is the world of the Fey and Sidhe, and is only accessible by opening a rift between worlds, through items such as jasper gemstones or faerie rings. A strange place, where reality is weaker and huge voids span distances between landmasses, returning from this plane is a struggle for any adventurer due to the weakening effect the plane has on magic.
