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.
Explore the world
Lands & seas
The continents of the world and the waters between them — from Ignusia and its inland seas to the islands reaching toward Taccho.
Tongues & families
The five great language families and the languages that descend from them, from ancient Hertic onward — gathered word by word in the Dictionary.
Peoples & pasts
The nations, ages, and deeds of the world. Its oldest chapters reach back to Hertia, on the cradle sea of Ignusia — with much still to be recorded.
Life & nature
The creatures, plants, and wild places of Yezur — a part of the record still waiting to be written.
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.
