Estiel

Estiel is the largest continent in the known world of Coryphiel. It is filled with many different nations and cultures.
Estiel's defining feature is the large forbidding mountains that have prevented land access across Estiel for millennia. These were created by Shoguvhan in the year 0, at the behest of Zythia, in order to create the region of Tyrrus. In the year 20.19, large passages were created through the mountain range, in an event that would later become known as "The Worldshaking".
