The Old World
The Old World is commonly known by many different names depending on where you are standing, but it is agreed that all of the modern civilizations in the region began on this narrow strip of rock. Bordered on the east and to the south by the Endeavor Sea, and to the west by the Great Ocean, this peninsula has seen more history than much of the rest of the planet can claim, and will continue to be an important area well into the future. Many modern religions have their holy sites and ancient cities there, and it continues to be a cultural and ancestral home to almost all inhabitants of the surrounding regions. As of the dawn of the 9th century AW, the experiment by aging empires to create colonial territories overseas has ended in failure, and regions which were once under the yoke of distant rulers now set their own agendas, some with their hungry eyes set upon the Old World itself.

Geography
Frigid in the north, a dusty wasteland in the south, and with wide swaths of verdant fields and majestic mountains in the center, the Old World is as much a natural cradle for civilization as it is shaped by events to make it less hospitable.
