World Map

Crederia is known to be composed of three major landmasses, with the location of two having been lost after the world calamities arrived. Since then, contact has been cut with all but our main setting, aptly called...

The First Continent

The First Continent is considered the first due to it being where the first gods landed during the Race of the Ancients. The inseparable mirrored gods were torn apart and sent crashing. The first to land was the lighter god, --, who lost their life and was swallowed by the earth to heal the wound their body caused. The gods that followed are responsible for the expansive landmass that is covered with life, magic, and Crederians.

Our map is looking a little small, that's alright! we only need to focus on the beginning of your journey. As crederia continues to expand it's experiences, the map will slowly be revealed!

The Kingdom of Lothain

Located near the center of the continent, the landing point of the first god -- became known as Lothain, a prosperous kingdom that is open to any and all Crederiant. A monument stands on what is said to be the exact point of impact, although most assume that's merely for the visitors who come to revel under it's grandeur.

Most Crederians begin their journey here, either by having grown up here, deciding to study in the knight or mage academies, or by those who come to register an adventuring license to be officially acknowledged as an adventurer. Others come to peruse the market shops, whether gourmet foods, baked goods, artisanal goods, or enchanted fare interests you, you will find whatever you need here. Lothain is also host to a myriad of magic specialists; potions, body modifications, or plain ol enchantments are all easily found here!

The largest forest in Lothain, considered to have been enchanted by the creatures who call it home. Lothlere forest is home to many basic flora & fauna, as well as several magical and gentle beasts. The forest is a popular spot to hone magic due to the inherent mana coursing through it. At night, the underside of the trees seems to absorb the night sky, becoming almost impossible to navigate, but if you're lucky you might come across some friendly wisps who offer to lead you out (or further in...) Parents warn their children not to dawdle once the sun begins to go down, but officially the forest is not considered dangerous.

Pastol Meadow

The soft and vibrant fields of the Pastol Meadow are a beautiful sight. Soft blooms grow amongst blue grass for miles. The grass is said to absorb the mana around it, casting specks of it into the sky like permanent puffs of pollen. (if you're sensitive to mana you might want to avoid this place) Animals who call this space home are quick, and mostly small, having dens and burrows that don't disturb the ground much, keeping the meadow mostly flat. It surrounds the Hohol forest and is considered moderately dangerous due to its ability to fluctuate your mana and slowly absorb it. If you come across beasts here, be ready to run!

Milenta Pillars
