The World of Kyeen is vast and unexplored, featuring many different civilizations and lost continents such as the mysterious dark continent of Ma’Cebrea and the exotic lands of Enquaria. Although action and adventure can be found around every corner in Kyeen, most of the Kyeen campaign setting is focused within the region known as The Core. The Core of Kyeen refers to the most prominent and collectively influential civilizations of Kyeen. It is spread across four continents: Ataria, Reltere, Gu’Aris, and Lythica. These continents have been divided up into the old world and the new world.
The southern and eastern hemispheres of Kyeen are collectively called the new world by scholars and historians of The Core. The new world includes the continents of Ataria and Reltere.
<php>echo “<b>Ataria</b>”;</php>
Ataria is the wild frontier of Kyeen. Although as ancient as any part of the world, much of the continent's history was lost in the Age of Darkness and remains a mystery. Until the arrival of humans from Lythica to the continent, many of the Atarian natives survived in tribal communities.

REALMS OF ATARIA
ROGU'TERRA
A massive mountain formation formed together from 3 separate mountain ranges. Armies of giants and other primordial creatures battle across mountains sides vying for sole control of this realm. The devastation of their terrible battles can be seen and heard for miles throughout Rogu’Terra.
VERIDIA
A land of verdant growth and wild things. Veridia is considered one of the most deadliest places in The Core. Aside from the vast jungles the most prominent feature of Veridia is the Gaping Maw, a bottomless chasm that is over 700 miles long and as wide as 100 miles. Prowling through the poisonous dark foliage are vicious green dragons, treacherous black dragons, cunning Drow, ravenous were-creatures, and mischievous Fey. Remnants of an ancient and advanced Elf culture and a few Dragon Born ruins are all that remain of any sort of civilization out in Veridia. The wild elves of the region remain in the shadows of all their enemies, carving out their little territories across the land. A small kingdom of High Elves is cursed and trapped in the mountains under a perpetual and savage ice storm.
GONADRATH
Gonadrath is a windswept land of lonely plains and jagged mountains, Roaming all over the plains in dangerous patrols, the undead residents of Necross carry out their daily lives in mockery of the living seeking to increase their numbers. Sharing the land with the undead are the Godar. The Godar are divided into two ethnic cultures, those living in the west are a group of noble nomads called the Despians, and their mountain dwelling cousins of the east are called the Gondartha. Together they share a common ancestry with vague ties to the city of Necross, both of the Godar claim ownership of Necross and all its treasures and secrets.

Currently the descendants of the enslaved humans clans now control the landscape, at least during the day.
KILDARE
The remote and far Southeast land of Kildare is a misty and featureless landscape of broken rock.

Giants are known to infest this land as they shift through the tides in search of washed up treasure.
THE IRON CURTAIN
Marking the far Western border of the Core and the continent of Ataria lays the formidable Iron Curtain mountains. Legends speak of the peaks of these mountains burning eternally with infernal fires and that the lands beyond are cursed and godless.
<php>echo “<b>RELTERE</b>”;</php>
The resource rich continent of Reltere is the contended prize land of the core. Two native orc tribes war with each other to complete their sacred war.

<php>echo “<b>LYTHICA</b>”;</php>
Since the dawn of the AGE OF LIGHT, Lythica has been viewed as the OLD WORLD.

This catastrophic event forever changed the face of Lythica and that of the world forever, ushering in the AGE OF DARKNESS.
