Astreastroth

Astreastroth refers to the world at large. It refers chiefly to the globe upon which the various civilizations and species make their existence. This also includes the metaphysical realms that overlap with the material plane.

Seperate from Astreastroth are alleged "Outer Realms." These realms are, according to contemporary thought, are inaccessible to each other, as their very existence as separate worlds prevents this.

Known continents
There are a number of continents on Lednik, some of which are more isolated than others.

Lednik
The massive, temperate continent that is the crossroads of the world. Elves, gnomes, and humans all intermingle and coexist. Many of the kingdoms there are young, with humans arriving roughly 800 years ago, the elves arriving 200 years later.

Gifotia
A sun-drenched, wild land from which humans come. The northern lands, home to wild, craggy mountains, are home to more fairskinned folk, whilst the coasts are home to tall, swarthy maritime

Aill Coscartha
A distant, forested land. It is said that the elves sailed from here, hundreds of years ago. It is arguable the land doesn't exist, at least not as the elves tell it. Common thought is that the land is abandoned, but more likely it is simply sparsely populated.

Empire of Dranglach
A distant, powerful nation far to the east. Some say it is another continent, while others say it is an extension of Lednik.

Kingdom of Estren
A kingdom forming the southern Meichan coast, south of the Kingdom of Uspaine.

Elven Enclave
Located on the peninsula in southern Estren, the Elven Enclave is a self-ruling section within the larger kingdom. Originally a reservation for Elves to collect themselves, it has evolved into it's own nation, even if Estren denies this. Seperate geographically, and with no true ties to the human kingdom, the Enclave rules itself from the hallowed city of Fraycliff.

Stynheim Confederation
A collection of city-states and land holdings along the northern coast of Lednik. Ruled from the elected capital of Coldwater, located in Hjellmaar Sound

Humans
The numerous, industrious people hailing from Gifotia.

Elves
The long lived, etherial newcomers from beyond the sea

Mynnyd Anifail (Mountain beasts)
The mysterious folk hailing from the Ferun mountains, to the east. They live in a grand, ancient city within a distant mountain valley.

Gnomes
The small, cunning folk that live deep within the earth. Pale of skin and hairy, they are known for their masterful craftsmanship. Humans have been known to interbreed with gnomes, creating fair-skinned, hardy folk often called "dwarves". Gnomes are most often found in their subterranean cities in Stynheim, though other cities are known to exist.
