Atlas

Heavenly realm where Celestial Devas dwell. Brahmā Sahampati / Śramana Nabû is reborn here after his last human incarnation (Nabushumlishir) earns him a seat through high merit. Source of the False Prophecy / Curse of Samara's Will visions experienced by Brahmā and other Brahmās.

Realm of greatest mental affliction. Functions as a bridge connecting all existing and cessated realms. Presided over by Pandōra, a Primordial Deva who considers her throne a curse. Beings from all realms are brought here by natural karmic law with little memory of past lives; they reside until negative karma is depleted.

Created by Amitābha through strict adherence to his 48 vows. Seat of the 48-member Pantheon, where dharmas are received and dispensed universally. Hosts Celestial Buddhas and Devas.

Story-primary planet under threat of inevitable cessation before an Age of Enlightenment — a unique anomaly. Two lunar satellites (Sōma and Sita) produce highly torrential oceanscapes; sea travel is limited to islands neighboring the mainland. Continent of nine territories and seven Sumer Islands.

Historical homeland of the Sumerian civilization that bloomed c. 1500 BCE around the Akkadian Sea, with primary city Sumer. The cradle of Titānia. Distinct from the later "New Akkad". After the Sumerian Exodus c. 1213 BCE, the Sūrians under Jap̄eth claimed this continent as the Land of Sōl, and the Mārtya queen Zāhria later renamed the cradle to Arcadia.

Massive lake at the center of the continent, seated on the borders of Arcadia and Pal 'En. Inhabited by unique mutated marine wildlife due to long exposure to Sati. Home to bustling trade town and bazaar Port Royāl.

Major Arcadian city.

Mysterious pond in Republic of Vīsum.

Sovereign state and the cradle of Titānia. Vast military; entire territory bases its capital in Babylon under one monarch (Queen Zāhria Léopatra, descendant of the Sumerians). Reverse-colorist hierarchy with a caste system disesteeming visible sūrian ancestry. Surrounded by hundreds of bustling cities and thousands of scattered rural villages. Host of the Titānian Trials.

Oldest proto-sūrian civilization. Survivors of Jap̄ eth's conquest; ancestors claimed an abandoned Sumerian village containing monasteries and temples. Located between Arcadia and Pal 'En. Shown on all maps as "Lake Hazar" — the Sumerian-era illusion presents the territory as a lake to outsiders. Archives contain ancient texts detailing Sūrian evolution into Mārtya (Sumerian history). Opted out of the war and was spared by Zāhria in exchange for strict isolation.

Largest sūrian empire on the continent. Throne of Heliōs located in capital Kingston, presided over by Ivān of The Light, the Mārtya leader of the Sūrians. Staves off attacks from neighboring territory Sōl. Together with Sōl, comprises the "Land of Sōl."

Inter-realm gate connecting Naraka to the continent (Titānia). The first Ishtar Gate opened in the North East c. 666 BCE, allowing members of Avidyā to first enter the realm. Sumitra later operates Avidyā remnants from a base associated with the Ishtar Gate after the Vīsum uprising is suppressed.

Also known as Old Terra — the Prithvi's last stronghold on the mainland in ruins. Territory between Atlas, New Terra, and Arcadia. Arid region that never recovered from the wars incited by Sūrians driving the Prithvi off the mainland. Immensely torrid landscape. Neither surrounding territory is interested in conquest due to its lack of vegetation and resources. Generally uninhabited.

Mainland territory divided into two major kingdoms: the Shakya of Ganasāngha to the north (powerful sages and Samadhi techniques) and The Ganges to the south (humble fishing society and pacifist state). Provides the majority of fishing and agriculture exports to the continent.

Bustling trade town and bazaar on the coast of the Akkadian Sea, located on the border directly between Arcadia and Pal 'En. Major center of inter-territorial commerce.

Capital of The Ganges (southern Pal 'En). Center of Pal 'En's fishing and agricultural exports.

Capital city of Atlas. Prithvi seat.

State run by a figurehead representative; secretly led by Avidyā to facilitate their plans uninterrupted. A few scattered villages and towns. Houses Yama Lake (mysterious craters), the Narakan fissure, and Anattā Pond. Site of the c. 596 BCE revolution and the present-day Vīsum uprising.

Northern kingdom of Pal 'En. Known for its powerful sages and Samadhi techniques. Ruled by Śuddhodana (father of Sid and Zahira). Attacked by mercenaries c. 554 BCE (the patron behind the attack remains unidentified to the protagonists).

Rival sūrian clan seeking to reclaim "lost" homeland. Capital Valhallā lies on the island of Sōl. Ruled by sūrian Cyrus then by his successor Vladimir. Stages coups on Heliōs. Together with Heliōs, comprises the "Land of Sōl."

Sumerian-canonical name for the island chain west of the continent that the Sumerians fled to during the Exodus c. 1213 BCE. Known to continental (Sōl/Arcadian) populations as the "Cursed Isles" — an exonym used to discourage approach. Home of Zāhria Léopatra; she was being trained as a priestess here under the village Oracle before running away c. 780 BCE to follow the Mārtya-Sūrian prince to Arcadia (The Revelations event).

Original Prithvi kingdom secured in the North Western Hemisphere. Their massive combat potential, despite small numbers, allowed them to hold this kingdom; they were otherwise nomadic. Eventually driven from this kingdom by growing Mārtya factions of the Southwest, fleeing to the Western Island continents of New Terra and Atlas.

Southern kingdom of Pal 'En. Humble fishing society and pacifist state. Capital Portmore.

Volcanic archipelago. Sparsely populated by Sumerian monks and priests. Known as the Sumer Islands by inhabitants and as the Cursed Isles by outsiders (no travelers being able to reach ashore due to Sumerian illusions). Littered with temples and monasteries from Sumerian times. Sumerians migrated here from the mainland (now Arcadia) after being driven out by the growing Sūrian population.

Capital city of New Terra. Prithvi seat.

Capital of Sōl on the island of Sōl. Seat of Cyrus and successor Vladimir.

Mysterious crater-formed body of water. Houses the Narakan fissure, an Ishtar Gate connecting to Naraka.
