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.

 __NOTOC__
-'''Yezur''' is the world: a sphere of many continents set among wide seas, from the narrow straits that join [[Andusia]] to [[Ignusia]] to the island chains reaching toward [[Taccho]]. Its history runs oldest along the eastern inland sea of [[Ignusia]] — the cradle of civilization, where [[Hertic language|Hertic]] was first set down in writing. From there the world's five [[:Category:Language families|language families]] have carried their tongues far and wide, even across the ocean into the [[New World]].
