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 was first set down in writing. From there the world's five language families have carried their tongues far and wide, even across the ocean into the New World.

The continents

The world is shared among eight great landmasses: Andusia, Ignusia, Lovvocia, Pandenica, Sihia, Taccho, Vetsia, and Vetsihia.

The languages

The tongues of Yezur belong to five families. Those set down so far:

Language	Endonym	Era

-'''Yezur''' is our world: a globe of many continents, from the narrow straits that bind [[Andusia]] to [[Ignusia]] to the island chains reaching out toward [[Taccho]]. Its recorded history runs deepest around the eastern inland sea of Ignusia — long remembered as the cradle of civilization — where the ancient tongue of [[Hertic language|Hertic]] was among the first to be written. From those beginnings, five great [[:Category:Language families|language families]] have spread across the world, carried far beyond their homelands by ages of migration and expansion into the [[New World]].

-== Companion works ==
-This encyclopedia is one of three companion works that chart Yezur:
-* '''[[Dictionary:Main Page|The Dictionary]]''' — the interlingual dictionary of Yezur's languages, word by word.
-* '''[[Map:Main Page|The Map]]''' — the atlas of the world and the craft of charting it; explore it directly at [https://yezur.xyz yezur.xyz].
