Xylna

**Xylna** is the name of the world on which most campaigns take place. Xylna exists in the Material Plane, however it does have many connections to planes and places beyond.

## Calendar

The Xylnan calendar year is divided into 273 days, grouped into eight-day weeks over the course of ten months. This calendar was tasked to be made by an early society of halflings, who named all months and days on the calendar.

The names of the eight days of the week are Ash, Orlo, Keythan, Porth, Vez, Enten, Myle, and Braze. Each day is 24 hours long.

## Geographic Characteristics

Xylna works on a “reverse equator” meaning lands closer to the center of Xylna are colder. This is why lands such as Estentel as so dominated by desert.

### Continents

#### Centelia

> A continent to the northwest of Xylna that contains cities such as Draqshyre and Sleetspire.

#### Alemaar

> Containing the landmasses of Elona, Hamor, and Velash, this continent has the Greater Council of Alemaar as well as cities like the Reigning Rivet, Eagle's Point, and the Quarlot Crater, a center of chaos and dark creatures from a meteor crash many years ago.

#### Resharn

> Rasharn, a land that many stay away from out of fear of its forests and unexplored land. In the north, the nature blessed society of the Tharen on an island known as Siph. Having existed since before the Collapse of the Idols, these people are a thriving nation blessed by the Primordials. To the west, the Nebulous Planes, is fabled to contain dark magics and creatures, but is also said to have been a place many artifacts could still survive from the yesteryears. The right island, Shevula, contains wide open grasslands and hills that new and primeval beasts to graze upon. The center lands contain many cities that have been traveled upon by very few researches. Though, even less have survived to create the known maps of Resharn. This island has many different types of ancient civilizations many of which contain bygone arcana and relics.

#### Vri'il

> Located directly at the center of the world, close to 100 years ago it was destroyed and left in multiple pieces due to the attack of The Grasp of Oblivion. The center continent was made into the landmasses: Oglen, Yzza, Shorri, and the largest landmass Preveric. This continent sits at the center of the equator, meaning it is the coldest country on Xylna.

#### Zakden

> Zakden is a home of many different civilizations, including the Ilentinian Authority, the Aahl Empire, the Zinmai Order, and the Lumin Authora.

#### Estentel

> Also known as the Golden Prospect, the continent is known for its vast lands of uninhabitable to most deserts as well as its large mountains that tower above even the finest of volcanoes elsewhere.

### Oceans

* The Odius Deep: The deep and dangerous ocean near the Vixeth Islands, Centelia, and Resharn.
* The Fulcrum Flow: The freezing and bitter ocean between Centelia and Alemaar, and north of Vri'il.
* The Maril Sea: This is the largest ocean encompassing the waters surrounding Estentel and Zakden as well as the south of Vri'il and north-east of Zakden.

### Underdark

The Underdark is a large land that exists before many continents of Xylna, namely Zakden. It is a dangerous place sealed away for centuries and forgotten to time. It has its own ecosystem and civilization that thrives on its own causing most within it to not seek to venture to the surface of Xylna.

### Equator

Xylna works on a "reverse equator" meaning lands closer to the center of Xylna are colder. This is why lands such as Estentel as so dominated by desert.

## Satellites

Xylna has two moons, named Lenora and Thunogan. Though most often seen together in the night's sky, Lenora is the only moon that has an orbit, as Thunogan stays in the same place at its peak in the sky no matter the time.

### Lenora

Lenora is a very large moon that looks to be close to double the size of a moon such as Earth's. It has a very similar cycle, though, making it easier to track.

### Thunogan

Once a moon that was perceivably a smaller version of Lenora, it had been known to be particularly potent in its effects against lycanthropes and vampires. In recent years, its true powers were shown when it became a cracked purple and black moon. During Vox Arcanum's campaign, Thunogan has been shown to have an innate connection to The Tethered Unrest, with wild magic and psychic capabilities.

## Languages

In Xylna, languages reflect a culture and geography; a human raised within the Hithart Coast of Zakden may solely speak Migonish, while a Dwarf that lives within many lands of Resharn may never know the tongue of Dwarvish.

Common is an overarching language created in the early times of Xylna. Many dialects and local slang exist in certain areas, however it reaches many places. With your DM’s approval, you can exchange a language granted by your race for a different language from the Standard Languages of Xylna table. If your gnome was raised within the Fogcloud Mountains, you might replace Gnomish with Dwarvish for that reason.

Goidelic, the language of the leprechaun. This is a very rare and broadly unheard of language. This language is something that all leprechaun are taught at an early age, as it is often the only language they learn.
