Geography, Regions & Cities

Terdan – Complete Geography, Regions & Cities

Terdan is a fractured planetary system split into two interlinked realms after the
Crystal War.
Its geography is defined by mirrored distortion: every light-aligned region has a shadow-corrupted counterpart.

🌍 GLOBAL STRUCTURE

  • Dual Realms:

    • Lux Spirit (upper, radiant, vertical ecosystems)

    • Selenath (lower, dense, descending layers)

  • Central Fracture Zone:

    • Veiled Rift
      → unstable barrier where both realms bleed into each other

  • Leyline Network:

    • Light leylines = circulation & growth

    • Shadow leylines = drain & redirection

🌌 INTER-REALM ZONES

Veiled Rift

  • Only unstable crossing point

  • Reality distortion, hybrid creatures, anomalies

Grey Zones (Rare)

  • Temporary overlaps of both realms

  • Source of dual-aligned beings

🔮 GEOGRAPHICAL LOGIC

  • Lux Spirit expands outward and upward

  • Selenath pulls inward and downward

  • Both realms are still gravitationally and magically linked

FINAL INSIGHT

Terdan is not just a world map.

It is a broken system still trying to function as one:

  • One side grows

  • One side consumes

And between them lies a fracture that is no longer stable.

Which means geography itself… may soon change.
