Darteia - The Liminal Fields

Welcome to Darteia, home of the vast expanse called The Liminal Fields, and a world of adventure and mystery. 7 Nations hold sway on the surface of Darteia, and perhaps many more deep under its surface. Ringing around the continent, a vast highway connects these nations, but most of the interior of this area is dominated by the vast and forbidding Haelenwyth Mountains.

The Haelenwyth stretches into the sky, far above the clouds that obscure its forbidding peaks; the creatures and mythic entities that reside within them are dangerous beyond compare, and the strange and unpredictable weather patterns it contains have prevented any attempts at climbing the Haelenwyth throughout the various histories of the Seven Nations.

If these threats and conundrums were restrained to the Haelenwyth, they might only be forbidding, but this world is more dangerous than that. Much of the land between the great oceans that border Darteia are referred to as The Liminal Fields - stretches of land where the detritus of the Haelenwyth can spit out beasts and monstrosities, where ancient branches of the various civilizations lie destroyed, and the hundreds of mercenary camps, desperate traders and merchants, and the dispossessed live and toil. But it is also where the vast resources and wealth of Darteia can be found, ancient knowledge and magics ready to be unearthed, and where any adventurous soul may find coin, glory, or a swift and meaningless death. . . depending on the wit and skill of the adventurer, of course.
