The Aberrant Zone, also known as the Scarred Lands or the Aberrant Sea, is located on the eastern edge of the southern subcontinent. This region was once a thriving part of the land but was irreparably damaged during the Cataclysm, transforming it into a nightmarish wasteland. The Aberrant Zone includes both the corrupted lands along its border and the adjacent Aberrant Sea, making it the most dangerous regions in Rohamaa, classified as an S-Rank Threat Area by the Wanderer's Union.

Aether Forest is a region of thick foliage and tall trees that block out the sunlight. It is a wild and mostly untamed place with powerful illusory magics that permeate the air, making it a dangerous region to travel through unprepared. It is home to the city-state of Aetherhaven, or Haven for short, which stands as a safe place to rest for any who pass through the region due to its protective magics. The forest is considered a high-level threat zone.

The Brillo Jungle is a region of dense, leafy jungle that glows with a soft bioluminescence. The monsters and creatures that live there also glow in a variety of colors, making the jungle a vibrant location. It is home to many settlements, as well as its city-state, Calor, which is located on its eastern border. The monsters in the region are considered mid-level, and should be properly considered when traveling off-road.

Celestria is a region characterized by its strong winds, as well as its rolling hills and grassy plains, with a network of crystal clear rivers and lakes running throughout. It is home to many settlements, as well as Celestria City, the region’s resident city-state. The region is considered a low-level threat zone, with relatively weak monsters and traversable terrain, making settlement and travel safe and affordable to most of its inhabitants.

The Elysian Isles are a chain of floating islands situated over a single, massive island in the southern portion of the Sapphire Ocean. The region is characterized by its flying fauna, which are empowered by the islands’ Monolith. It is not home to any city-states or settlements, due to the shifting nature of the islands, but is hospitable for those able to traverse the skies. The region is classified as a high-level threat zone, due to its powerful monsters and dangerous terrain.

The Emberlands are a chain of volcanic mountains that stand at the southern edge of the Aberrant Zone. The area is a hotspot for geothermal activity, and is a popular tourist destination for spa-goers and welfare enthusiasts, due to its wide variety of hot springs. It is home to a small number of settlements, overseen by Embertower, its resident city-state. The region is classified as a mid-level threat zone, due to the strength of its monsters and its hazardous environment.

The Heartlands is a region composed of sprawling grasslands to the north and arid desert to the south. The grasslands are extremely fertile, and produce the largest quantity of grain on the continent. The desert, also known as the Sapphire Coast, features soft sand dunes broken up by red rock formations, and is home to the city-state of Maridania. The region is a low-level threat zone, and its monsters are relatively weak, though some stronger variants can be found further north.

The Radiant Isles are a chain of islands situated off the western coast of the southern subcontinent. The islands themselves and the mainland forest that is considered a part of the region are bathed in constant sunlight due to the effects of the region’s Monolith. The Isles are considered a mid-level threat zone, with relatively strong monsters inhabiting the many smaller islands and waters surrounding the region.

The Sapphire Ocean is the warmest ocean on the planet, and is considered a region due to its Monolith. It is located on the southwestern edge of the continent, adjacent to the Radiant Isles, the Sapphire Coast, Celestria, and the Elysian Isles. It is home to two settlements of aquatic Demons, but does not feature any city-states. The area is considered a mid-level threat zone due to the size and strength of its monsters.

The Valk Mountains are a chain of mountains located on the northeastern side of the northern subcontinent. The mountains were once part of the same chain as the Emberlands, but were split from them during the Cataclysm, and are now considered two separate chains with distinct environments. The region is home to the Valk Republic, as well as a rare few other settlements, due to the fact that the region is classified as a high-level threat zone.

The city-states of Rohamaa are vibrant bastions of culture, magic, and resilience, each uniquely shaped by its environment and the people who call it home. Scattered across the continent, they stand as pillars of civilization amidst untamed wilderness and monster-infested regions. From the mystical harmony of Aetherhaven and the fiery industriousness of Embertower, these city-states embody diverse ideals and ambitions. Governed by monarchs, councils, or elected leaders, they balance tradition and innovation, forging identities deeply rooted in their histories while navigating the ever-shifting challenges of their world.

The races of Rohamaa—Alvs, Demons, Rohim, and Warplings—each bring distinct cultures and histories to the world, shaped by their unique origins and traits. The immortal Alvs, descended from beings of starlight, embody ethereal magic, while the enigmatic Demons, born from Cimerian ruins, balance primal strength with individualistic ideals. Rohim, the adaptable and social native people of the land, thrive in four distinct tribes, and the mysterious Warplings, born of chaotic Warp energy, walk a fine line between stability and their volatile origins. Together, they coexist in a land brimming with magic, monsters, and ancient secrets.

Rohamaa is a diverse continent filled with a wide variety of cultures, peoples, practices, and faiths. In the modern era, there are five major religions observed by a substantial enough size of the population to be considered an international religion. These are the Faith of the Goddess, the Path of Helia, the Sinarthian Faith, the Urduk Culture, and the Yggdris Faith.

Rohamaa is a land steeped in history and mystery, its landscapes dotted with awe-inspiring monuments and enigmatic ruins that tell stories of triumph, tragedy, and the untold secrets of the past.

Sorcery is the practice of harnessing cosmic energy, known as Flux, to cast spells and magical rituals. Mages that utilize this art, known as Sorcerers, draw and store energy from the stars into their bodies to burn as fuel for their magic. Sorcery is known for its versatility and utility, and its spellcraft relies on mathematics, making it the favored Source for artificers and magical researchers. The process of casting a Sorcery requires three components: a Spark, Flux, and Warp. A Spark is the small bit of life force used by a Sorcerer to ignite the Flux stored within their body, and is the first step in casting a spell. Flux is the stored energy from the stars that is used to fuel these spells. Warp is the byproduct left behind after a spell has been cast. Spells cast using Sorcery must be prepared beforehand due to the complex nature of each spell.

Resonance is the natural energy produced by the movement of Rohamaa's tectonic plates. It is the oldest and most intrinsic of the three fundamental Sources of power in the world, existing independently of Sorcery and Spirit Magic. Resonance permeates every aspect of Rohamaa, shaping its environment and influencing the magic of those attuned to it. This energy is responsible for the creation of Aether, a raw magical byproduct from which monsters are born. Those who harness Resonance as their Source of magic are known as Resonants.

Spirits are the vestigial remnants of a deceased creature, sometimes referred to as “souls” (though this is technically incorrect due to the existence of a scientifically provable soul in all sentient creatures, which is separate from their Spirit). When a creature dies, its Spirit is free to wander the Boundary Lands, which is the mirror dimension of the Material Plane in which all Spirits reside. Most Spirits are simply motes of energy that are aligned with a specific elemental force. However, Spirits that belonged to sentient creatures, known as Greater Spirits, retain their original personalities and memories from life, and hold a great deal of power compared to their lesser cousins. Not all sentient creatures become Greater Spirits after death, as a great deal of emotional energy is required to successfully retain one’s id, ego, and superego during the transition from life to death.

Monsters in Rohamaa are a unique phenomenon, serving as both the apex of the world's ecosystem and a subject of considerable mystery. Unlike traditional fauna in other worlds, monsters are beings composed entirely of solidified Aether, the latent magical energy permeating all things. Their physiology, behavior, and origins make them fundamentally distinct from the Animar and Spirits that inhabit the world.
