The central lands
Teraven
The central surface continent, and the setting of Jun Kormun’s story in 935 AR. Roads, ports and known kingdoms coexist with northern places that surviving histories misunderstand.

A world with depth.
Surface continents, an ocean-spanning civilization and communities beneath the ground. Each is part of Seratin.
Across the western sea
Anashun
The western continent. Its landscapes and settlements form the next stage of the Teraven trilogy, while Velis is the home of the seafaring adventurer Rhundalees.

The northern country
Vaerashan
The northern landmass changed profoundly by the Great Cold. Thalenor belongs to its warmer past; later journeys encounter the country left by centuries of change.

The eastern continent
Ruthal
Ruthal lies east. Cold uplands, high tablelands, rifts, Deep Basins, dry southern country and wetlands give it a varied geography. Lott Undel’s journey explores one part of this larger land.

Communities within the earth
Morvae
Morvae is subterranean. Refugees established its permanent settlements in 835 AA within Urraketh-carved tunnels. Its nine principal pods preserve distinct communities and traditions.

An old wound.
A lasting responsibility.
The Veil is an ancient natural interface. Its wounds existed before the Gates. The First People built the Gates to regulate those wounds; travel came later.
The Black Instrument was originally a handleless device, created in 501 BT to hold open the Gate. Its later adaptation into a sword belongs to another part of its history.

RHUNDALEES · A STORY IN DEVELOPMENT
South into the isles.
In 725 AR, Rhundalees sails the Sea Spirit from the world of Velis and Anashun into the Southern Sea. His story brings together sea travel, shore expeditions and ancient ruins.
His companion Brindle is a Talmiri, at home in the rigging and the sea. The ship’s brown wooden hull, three masts, purple-and-cream sails and longitudinal stabilizers give it a distinctive silhouette.
Established setting and characters; a complete manuscript is not included in this collection.
LIFE ACROSS SERATIN
More than scenery.
Mounts, hunters, swimmers and flyers shape travel and daily life. Their habitats matter: the creatures of Morvae, for example, neither fly nor glide.
