Western Continent

West of the Old Continent spans the never-ending waters of the Oaken Sea. It is rumored that where the Oaken Sea ends, after sailing for several months you reach the Western Continent, a pristine land of wonder and magic.

Contrary to popular belief the Western Continent is settled, but its population is much smaller than that of Aegeron and is mostly confined to its shores. Furthermore, celestial beings have taken a keen interest in the inhabitants of the Continent, effectively taking over the function of government (i.e. no kingdoms or empires).

Rumor has it that those who sails to the Western Continent can gain any and all knowledge available in this world, as long as the Gods overseeing the Continent approve of the scholar’s intentions. Many have sailed all the way across in vain; only a selected few can brag about the knowledge acquired there: even kings and emperors, and wizards of high standing were refused entry.
