| Tuoto |
| When the first settlers left Teruno in search of new lands and adventure, they discovered the rolling plains, thick forests, and massive snow capped mountians of Tuoto. Little did they know what evil would emerge from this pristine landscape. The evil wizard Shaylock found the first of the Godstones deep in the mountains of this continent. He also built has fortress on an island in the center of the continent. This island is still shunned by people. It still bares the taint of his evil magic, even now, thousands of years after his death and ascension to godhood. The few that worship him consider it a very holy place. Thousands of years later, Tuoto is still very much a land in healing, though none alive actually remember the cruel reign of Shaylock. As a result of this past evil, magic use is strictly regulated on a majority of the continent.. Tuoto is the ancestral home of the Mouglans, and their are now several prodominantly human kingdoms there. The mountains of Tuoto is also where you will find the largest group of monks in the known lands. They reside high in the mountains in the southeast part of the land.. Evil humanoid tribes range the mountains between the Human and Mouglan Kingdoms. Today, Tuoto is known for it military, mineral wealth, and the best riding animals in all of Philenos. Three Sisters Isles are situated closer to Tuoto then any other continent |

 |
| Sorain is a rugged land populated by hardy people. The largest swamp in the know world is located here. The great tribes of the Kitarians rule the vast plains and forests. A group of Sorcerers collectively known as the Golden Eye, hold sway over the massive swamps, and evil tribes of humanoids rule the ruins and mountains of Western Sorian. Although Sorain lacks a variety of natural resources, what is does have, it has an abundance of, if you are able to get to them. The swamps of Sorain are rich in coal and gems, as are the mountains in the west. Many a brave adventurer has found his fortune in the swamps, only to die before he can get out to show the world. There are rumors and myths that these adventurers still wander the swamps with their goods, trying to find their ways home |
| Over 6000 years ago, Desarn was a lush tropical paradise. All of that changed when massive earthquakes split the land. These Quakes appear to have been the result of an Iguandon Sultan unleashing the power of the first GodGem.Two mountain ranges rose out of the dense forest, dividing the land in three parts. Slowly the forests died in the northern and eastern parts and the soil blew away, leaving vast stretches of sand. The Iguandons who were native to the area, were forced to adapt to the new climate or perish. The result was an extremely hardy group of sentinent Reptiles. Unbeknown to the Iguandons that inhabited the region, they area between the mountains continued to flourish a small section of the once great forest. Had they known of it's existance, they were at that time unable to traverse the massive mountains ranges separating them fromthe forests. Over the centuries, as the Iguandons adapted to their new harsh enviroment and eventually began to thrive they found the ancient forests, but no longer had any real use for them. The current day Iguandons are split into two vast kingdoms of fierce desert warriors. Eventually, the forest were settled by a group of mages that fled the rule of Shaylock. As the desert people had no use for the forests, they allowed them to stay and it become the homebase of the Bloodmoon Mages. The sands hides a trove of mineral wealth as well as long forgotten relics from the ancient Iguandons. |
| Kryst |
 |
| Much of Kryst is unexplored. The inlets of the Eastern shores boast a number of settlements from different nations of Philenos, but a majority of the continent remains untouched. Rumors abound of strange creatures inhabiting the vast reaches of forest that covers much of the continent.. The area around the settlements possess great mineral wealth and there are signs of a civilization that vanished long ago. An almost impassable mountain range separates the eastern shore from the vast forests that cover much of the continent. |
| Desarn |
 |
| Teruno was the first continent settled by the new races upon arrival. It consists of the nations of Pator, Mazon, Granya, Shelnon, and the Lost Isles. When the races arrived, it was one large continent with a range of mountains at it's center, ancient forests covering it's northern half and rolling fields covering it's soutern half. The present physical stat of Teruno is the result of 2 major magical Cataclysms. The rising of the Great Plateau has left half of the continent with a very mild climate and acts as a natural barrier between nations. Overall it is a land rich with agriculture, but the majority of it is very poor in mineral wealth. The only exception to this is the dwarven nation, mostly under the great plateau. The Dwarves have an abundance of coal and iron.It is considered the homeland of the elves, dwarves, and humans |
