Hidden Lands

The Hidden Lands are the home lands of the human race. It was here that the first human civilizations were born including the great civilization of the Elder Folk, whose great legacy, the Elder Tongue, is still used in the world today. It was from the Hidden Lands that the other two great continents of the world were settled: the Sunrise Lands to the east, and the Sunset Lands to the west.

After the collapse of the civilization of the Elder Folk, memory of both their civilization and of the Hidden Lands faded into memory. Some say that the Hidden Lands had been removed from human knowledge by magic; others denied that the Hidden Lands had ever really existed. After the journey of Meharanganar Toreanastrarax of Denesatiriux and Daegal Swordsmith of Greatvale, the Hidden Lands were reopened. The realms of the Sunrise and Sunset Lands are reluctant to colonize there for fear of bringing on a curse, but intrepid explorers and fortune seekers will travel there seeking fame or riches, but not without peril.
