Continent

A continent is a massive geographic landmass that encompasses various sub regions of varying climate and geography. Identified by convention as opposed to actual geographic ctiteria, there are eight known continents in the world: Caenterin in the centre-north, North and South Occidea in the west, Middleland and Orien in the East, and the Southlands and Underland in the South.

While there are only eight set continents from a geographical standpoint, many are so vast that people often reffer to certain regions as continents in their own right, such as the Far North, which, technically, covers Caenterin, Middleland, and Orien (although, the most notable part of this region is located in Caenterin). Another example of this is Central Occidea, which is part of North Occidea.

Various regions exist on continents, being mountains, small seas, forests, and plains, which are common features shared by all continents. Each continent is populated to some extent, encompassing varying kingdoms, countries, and empires.

Certain continents have unique resources, minerals, flora, and fauna, not seen anywhere else. One example of this is the Gilded Rapunculas flower, which is indigenous only to Caenterin.

It is disputed whether or not the continents are fixed or if they were formed over the course of the eons, and are constantly in motion. Today, the latter seems to be the common consensus, but some also believe that this shift could be due to magic.
