Yezur
the encyclopedia of the world — its lands and seas, its peoples and their pasts, the living things upon it, and the many tongues they speak

Yezur is the world. This is its encyclopedia: a gathering-place for everything known of it, set down entry by entry — from the continents and the seas between them to the families of language spread across them, and all that is yet to be written besides. Begin anywhere below, and follow where it leads.

From the world

Ignusia is the continent in the northwest where the greater part of the world's history has unfolded. Two inland seas shape it: along the eastern one lies the cradle of civilization and the ancient country of Hertia, where Hertic was among the first tongues ever set down in writing; the western sea is a hub of the modern age.

Explore the world

Lands & seas
The continents of the world and the waters between them.
