The Atlas of Indithar

One continent, shaped like a wound. Four powers hold it, none of them made it, and the land between their borders belongs to nobody who has survived claiming it.

The map plate of Indithar: a single continent with a river running from its broken centre to the southern sea.
The Winter Above — the high range · no road, no claim the high range · no road, no claim The Winter Above Above the Preserved Lands the range climbs past any use. Nothing is grazed there, nothing is mined, nothing is… The Preserved Lands — the north · held behind barriers the north · held behind barriers The Preserved Lands What the world used to look like — kept, rather than living.

Overgrown without being wild. The Hollow Court came east after the world broke and moved… The Veldris Wastes — the south marches · do not enter the south marches · do not enter The Veldris Wastes The only warning the Hollow Court has ever issued to the rest of the world names this swampland.

The Iron Frontier — the west · the human kingdoms the west · the human kingdoms The Iron Frontier The most habitable land on the continent, which is not the same as safe.

The Fallen Castle — grave-ground of a golden age grave-ground of a golden age The Fallen Castle The seat of the kingdom that broke the world. Its libraries held more than any living people now knows; its inner halls… The Wound — a river that does not bend a river that does not bend The Wound It begins where the world broke and runs south to the sea, and it does not bend the way rivers bend.
