Athelon

Throughout the Realms of Athelon universe, Athelon largely refers to the name of the continent that the story takes place in though may also be interchangeable with the name of the planet.

The world of Athelon is split into many realms and kingdoms, with the focus of the first novel taking place primarily in the Northern Realms.

To the north of the known world lies a vast mountainous area that forbids entry. Narrow passes and extreme winds make travel even with airship near impossible. Forests of fea creatures are also located in the north and will kill humans on sight, dissuading many who might wish to explore.

To the east, past Damavel and the great ocean, not much is currently known.

Passage south is largely blocked off via a vast desert that few people have ever managed to cross. It is speculated that humans originally made the pilgrimage north some sixteen hundred years ago when the land was different and perhaps not so treacherous.

West of the mainland and across The Endless Sea, the small kingdom of Alba can be found, though not much is currently known of this mysterious land.
