Eldrath is a diverse realm divided into seven distinct regions, each shaped by unique geography, climate, and civilization. The continent is approximately 31.6 million km² in size. The planet has two magnetic poles and an equator, like Earth. Eldrath has dozens of nations, kingdoms, and settlements across its seven regions—some peaceful, some war-like, and everything in between. Some nations are allied with each other and others are at war.

Most laws of physics and movement still bind the world, though limitations are increased to comply with the fantasy genre. Magic exists and is another exception to the laws of physics. Size and strength are relative, speed limitations exist but are slightly more lenient than reality.
