Anetha

**Anetha** ("*Kadakavi*", "*Lalaakausa*", "*Hasogai*", "*Al'Sekina*", "*Mittrheim*", etc...) is the planet upon which this setting exists. Anetha is a temperate but dry terrestrial world orbiting two stars collectively referred to as "The Sisters". One star is larger, orange, and named "*Anorea*", while the other smaller, yellow one is named "*Saserra*". Anetha also has one natural satellite, a tiny moon named "*Galineos*".

## Geography

Anetha harbors primarily dry climates with rather few sources of fresh water other than its somewhat rare rainfall.

### Known Continents

#### Harik-Nadima

This hot, dry continent consists of numerous plateaus and badlands. Divided between east and west by a huge central impact crater, both sides of Nadim have pretty varied terrain. East Nadim contains a central desert simply called the "Eastern Kher-Nadim Wastes". To the north is the jagged red foothills of the Al'Nfyriyyun mountain range, while to the south is Terromha peninsula with its endless fields of drygrass and Ufak River delta.

To the West is the wider "Western Wastes", with the Vahem Oasis in the center near the Buyunne River. To the North is the infamous mountain range of Hulma's Teeth, named after an ancient Turalla that was said to have nested there. Finally, to the south sits the ancient bremin stomping grounds of the dusty Uvakkho Plateaus, surrounded by rocky plains.

Lastly, the thin strip of land in the center-north of the continent is called "The Greenbridge", and is the only lush and heavily forested location on the continent. Numerous attempts to settle this region have met with failure as the land is simply too savage being full of bandit havens, aggressive wildlife, and rough passages.

#### Svernaija

This continent is much larger than Harik-Nadima and full of much more diverse terrain. In middle Svernaija lies the fertile valley and fields of Ruta's Gift, surrounded by mountains of Mana's Spine and containing the Bramanni Riverlands. Bordering that is the Anijan Basin, shaped like a giant, forested bowl and bottoming at the Dostrov Inlet that leads into the Channel itself. Further down, the land becomes more and more forested and eventually, the terrain begins to become very alien in appearance.

The strange landscape of Southern Svernaija consists of plants and animals one might expect on the outer rim, however, moving deeper into the Xin-Te-Lan forests and jungles reveals life seen nowhere else on Anetha. Trees with smooth bark as black as pitch and drooping blue leaves with bioluminescent moss, bizarre animals with the power to discharge magical energy to hunt their even stranger prey, and faintly glowing waters with immense glowing crystals within the depths. This is the raw power of Lyrite upon the things in its presence.

Much further North and past Mana's Spine are the ancient lands of the first known humans, named Gannala. In the middle of Gannala is the Grønnvilden, the only large and fertile plain found anywhere North of the Spine. The Grønnvilden is also ringed by the Lengemor River which the longest river in the world that also heavily widens at one point into the Mjoere Lake. Northeast of the Grønnvilden is the Hvitraskagg (Whitetree Forest), also known as Käninskagg ("Long-Ear" Forest) due to high population of bremin. Further west is the densely fogged Mountains of Shuala, know for the many legends of mysteries surrounding them. And finally to the southwest is the fertile unbroken plain of the Brandjül Vale past the Shield Mountains.

### Oceans and Seas

#### Gannalic Ocean

Within the Gannalic Ocean exists the Shaking Sea to the north, known for its countless tiny islands and foggy surface. To the south is the bay known as Mukkin's Bite, the location of the Kumoken Islands and the terminus of the Lengemor and Mukkin rivers.

#### Kher-Nadim Ocean

Known mainly for Serveht Bay, the impact crater of a Lyrite meteor, the Kher-Nadim Ocean also contains the Sea of Stars and the Dostrov Channel. The Sea of Stars is called so because of the absolutely countless number of lyrite crystals visible from the surface from depths of almost 300ft.. The Dostrov Channel is a stretch of water that seperates Svernaija and Kher-Nadim. The channel is nearly impassable as it only reaches a maximum of 15ft. deep in certain places and only about 4ft. deep in most places, earning it the nickname of the "Shallow Sea".

#### Unnamed Western Ocean

Sevenstones Coast and Other Shit that's further West. (WIP)
