The Great Waterfall is, for the most part, visible from the shore. + There are a few notable lands in this world: Gusteko to the barren north, Vollachia to the fertile south, Kararagi towards the west, and Lugunica occupying the eastern edge of continent. Beyond them, there are several smaller kingdoms that surround and sit in between them. + There are no oceans in this world, only lakes of varying sizes, and the sea life is very limited as a result, as such, there are no ocean animals + Horses don't exist, instead there are ground dragons: horse-sized wingless dragons of varying species, actual dragons are actually mostly extinct + The royal family of Lugunica died of a mysterious disease years ago, now the kingdom is running an election between five Dragon Candidates to see which woman would be crowned King.
