One world. Five shores.
A thousand versions
of the truth.
The land remembers a single shape.
Its people remember different stories.
Avarun is a flat world, born as one of the seeds of two beings' founding love. Once its land was a single supercontinent. Now five great continents and scattered islands stand where one connected world existed.
At the heart of its ancient catastrophe stood the Athanor: a machine that imprisoned and used a portion of a Higher Entity as energy. Repeated warnings went unheeded. Divine destruction and curses reshaped both the land and its peoples.
These are the known foundations. The Higher Entity is another seed of the creators, a sibling to Avarun. During the Breaking he fragmented across the world. The mechanism of that fracture and the creators’ names remain unresolved. Explore Remanence and ten recovered ancient records ↗ The books below offer fictional interpretations of the past.
02 / THE ATLAS
Two views of Avarun before and after the Sundering.
Explore Oravel on its own regional atlas.
The Before the Sundering panel uses the approved painted terrain from the Ancient Atlas, shown here in a softer archival color grade. Its land shapes are unchanged.
Four continents remain unnamed; Oravel’s regional atlas documents the first.
The Sundering left five major continents. Oravel has a developed regional archive; the remaining four are deliberately unnamed and await their own geographic and cultural records.
Five dominions, river routes, cities, borderlands, ruins, songs, faiths and the stories of ordinary people.
Its map, peoples, languages and political history remain unrecorded in the approved atlas.
Known as one of the five modern landmasses. Regional records will be added when established.
