Keverynn is the fourth planet in orbit around a yellow star that the locals have named Telast. It has three natural satellites. Ana-Lashann is the largest of the three and has a silvery white color. Its name translates to Moon of the Dragon. Ana-Turann, the middle sized moon, has a bluish color. It means Moon of the Wyvern. The Moon of Fire, or Ana-Leta, is the smallest of the three and has a vibrant red color. This moon is visible during the day as well, save when it’s in its new moon phase. A year on Keverynn consists of twelve months which are thirty one days each for a total of three hundred and seventy two days to the year. Each day is twenty six hours in length and there are ninety minutes to an hour.

            The Telast system itself contains seven planets in total, two of which are inhabitable: Tanviyer and Keverynn. The name Tanviyer didn’t originate from Keverynn and only came into use when the race known as the Vaen first appeared on Keverynn.

            Keverynn itself is a smallish planet with a fairly balmy climate over all. There is one major continent divided roughly in half by a wide river called Arcetes, which has also been known as the River of Sorrows. Situated in the river is a long stretch of land called Vileshte Island which was for a time dubbed Beast Island. Vileshte is connected to the eastern bank by a land bridge that was raised and maintained through magic by members of the long dead Sisterhood of Sword and Sorcery, who once dwelled in the valley at the northern end of Vileshte. There is also a more traditionally made stone bridge connecting the island to a road leading to the city of Hash-Beneir. Another bridge connects the island to the western side of the river, this one made of strange metals that seem impervious to rust.

            The River Arcetes is a saltwater river, connecting to oceans on either end. Vileshte is good farmland and is large enough to support a decent sized population. At the northern end, as mentioned, is a large valley ringed by a dense, semi-sentient forest known only as the Green. The Valley was once home to the Sisterhood of Sword and Sorcery before they were wiped out circa the First Darkrider Incursion.

 

            The western side of Arcetes is quite sparsely populated. No one can agree on just how large or small the population is as there are no defined cities or villages. There are a few small farming communities, but the people living in this part of the world are either Darkriders or nomadic. These groups of nomadic people follow herds, harvest wild crops that cannot be grown in farm conditions, and dig for raw materials as well as harvesting wood. There are a few dedicated mining operations as well, though these are mostly run by the Darkriders using prisoners and debtors.

            Along the south runs a long chain of mountains known as the SnowDemon Mountains. The mountain chain is interrupted by the Arcetes, but continues again on the eastern side. 

It’s hostile land largely populated by the white wyvern as they’re one of the few things that can tolerate the extreme cold. The other beasts that have that tolerance are two species of long haired mountain goat (Lo’kerr and Git’liir), Silver Bears (who are not to be confused with the great white bears of the Northern and Southern Ice), and an animal called a Rotann that bears a strong resemblance to a reindeer. The Silver Bears aren’t very numerous and prefer to feed off the Lo’kerr, the smaller of the two goat-like animals. They leave the wyvern alone and vice versa in a mutual understanding dating back millennia.

            At the northernmost part of the western side are the territories of the Auran and Sutar Nomads as well as a small fragment of the Horyin territory, connected to the larger part of its lands on the eastern side of Arcetes by a long, wooden bridge.

            Between the mountains and the Nomad lands are the lands held by the other four wyvern species identified by differing physical characteristics and distinctive colors: black, blue, red, and green. These territories are nearly always in a state of flux as the wyvern fight amongst themselves to expand their own territories. It’s rare when they get along with each other and those times are followed by wars with the people on the eastern side of the river.

 

            The eastern side of Arcetes is quite densely populated in contrast. In the northernmost part are the other Nomad territories Tir’ri and Tchupak as well as the larger portion of Horyin. Situated right below the Nomad lands is the province of Tula’tevenn, which is the land held by the white dragons. Beneath that is the province of Shu’venath, home to the silver dragons. The forest known as the Draewood meets with Shu’venath’s southeastern border. The Draewood encircles the RyuutenshiValley, which just happens to be a nearly perfect circular. It’s unknown why, exactly, that is. The wood itself is mostly surrounded by the Elvenwood, home to most of Keverynn’s elves. It circles nearly ¾ of the Draewood and extends a ways to the south. To the east, it ranges to the eastern ocean.

            The Draewood and the Elvenwood are on the eastern border of Ta’lakivor Province, the lands of the blue dragons. Further south is Gira’loyis Province, where the gold dragons make their homes. Me’chu’sholann is the province of both the Chume’taly and the green dragons and contains the Chume’taly Forest within its borders. The forest meets up with the Snow Demon Mountains in the south.

 

            To the west of the main continent is a massive island that has been given the name Exiles Island for various reasons throughout Keverynn’s long and at times colorful history.

 

            Located in the oceans to the east of the main continent is the AlasteanIsland chain, which has become the only place where the people known as the Vaen live. It also supports a small human population, which is mainly concentrated in the southernmost island in the chain.

            Further east of that is an island that appears to be a part of Alastea, but it, in fact, is not. It has no name and no one goes there. To the people of Alastea, it is taboo to even mention it. It is on maps so that it is known and can be avoided.

 

            To the north of the main continent sits the Northern Ice. For large parts of the year, the waters above the northern tips of Sutar and Tchupak are frozen and one could simply walk up to the Northern Ice. The Tchupak’im do a great deal of hunting on the Ice. The Sutarans, on the other hand, have little to no love of that great frozen plain and so cede it to the Tchupak’im gladly.

            The Southern Ice at the bottom of the world isn’t as accessible as the SnowDemon Mountains block most of the access points. As such, it remains largely unexplored.
