Edgeofworld

The Edge of the World is an area that lies to the east of the Known World of Daventry near the Unknown.

Background[]

It lies about one day's sail from the Land of the Green Isles on the eastern edge of known world of Daventry. It is believed to be the edge of the universe, where creation is seen the most dramatically, sometimes occurring on a daily basis. Islands and locations appear, disappear, and change at random. Some believe that if you travel towards the edge of the world you will end up in the next world. The Dangerous Currents are said to be caused by a strange magnetism that carries life beyond the edge of the world to the next. It is north of the eastern Unknown.

The Realm of the Dead exists beyond the edge of the world. Spirits are sucked from the world of the living to the next.

In Daventry there are many deserts, usually hot and dry, and usually endless. This is likely a property of the universe itself; always inventing itself, the edges of the world must blur and seem to go on forever.
