One of the five continents, Ettara effectively shut its borders to the world when the druids overthrew the faerae. Since no one has entered or emerged from this continent in over two decades, it has largely become a place of myth. There are many written records, telling of great cities and powerful creatures in a land filled to the brim with magic, but the records were created so long ago that no one believes them anymore. However, in the ensuing centuries, the Ettarans have only grown in power. As a testament to the great power and the importance of magic, the capital of Skyna is home to the powerful Magician’s…

The Dark Saga places: Kastana and the Frozen Lands
As of right now, I’m thrilled to have power, but as this storm is due to stick around until Friday morning, I still have to keep my fingers crossed and am writing this as fast as I can.

The Dark Saga places: Dyjakt
Dyjakt is one of the world’s five continents and is where most of the story takes place. As the most populous continent in the known world, it also serves as the world’s seat of power from which the druids, formerly the faerae, rule. It is also the home of the majority of the human race, though they confine themselves to the northeastern corner as they are the only race incapable of using magic. Dyjakt is surrounded by 5 seas: the Morlay Ocean to the north, Sea of Mystica and the Eswyn Ocean to the west, the Tsala Sea to the South, and the Cabree Sea to the east. Some notable…
