Almsaundean Continent
Almsaunde is the easternmost, warmest continent of Vereva. It consists of mainly warm dry regions and is the place of origin of the Thaumaturges, Giants, Manticores and Treants. Proponents of the Almsaundean continent greatly influneced the world during the Age of the Giants, but lost their significance during the Age of the Dwarves. The two nations that make up the Almsaundean Continent are Eidriel and Bevesta.

Beating Heart
Vereva does not spin as it rotates around its sun, thus its sun faces the western side of the planet at all times directed at a focal point in the desert country of Bevesta. The sun's focal point, taking place in the Merida Desert is known as the Beating Heart and is the hottest place on Vereva, opposite of Pömt Mirvë. The Beating Heart acquired its name through two different concepts: Beating derives from its geography—a sandsea that flows and bubbles up endlessly, boiling eternally. It gets the name Heart from the idea that the goddess Bevesta is assumed to have risen back to heaven there, making it the most sacred place on the planet; the heart of Majicium. The area around the Beating Heart remains hot, humid and dry all year around, even during the winter months when the moon blocks the sun.

Central Ocean
The Central Ocean is the largest ocean of Vereva that is central on most maps. Each continent has borders in the Central Ocean, and The Scar is entirely surrounded by its waters. Only about 30% of the world's seafood is fished out of the Central Ocean.

Çy ffir vy Wöihod
The Çy ffir vy Wöihod (Mirvermish: lit. "Sea for the Voyage"; pronounced: SEE feer VEE voo-EE-hohd; /ˈsiː fiɹ ˈviː vuˈiɦod/) is a body of water of the Hydratic Ocean. It is named as the sea where Vy Wöihod takes places, starting in Aç'üçë and ending in Çotywol. The sea is encompassed by Vy Mirvë to the north, the Skypass to the east and Lorelei to the south. In the winter, the sea is ridden with many species of fish as they each try to swim through small channels in the Skypass in order to get to the Central Ocean.

Djoho River
The Djoho River (Kahremish: pronounced: DYOH-hoh; /ˈdjoɦo/) is the southern branch of the Zevro River. It stretches south at its break about 50 miles east of Masrë and heads 500 miles (804.6km) toward Port Neith. The Djoho is one of Kahrim's most influential rivers because of the many irrigation systems and aqueducts branching from it well into the Ahkratti Plains.

The lake, around 257,000 sq miles (665,000 km2), and holds more than 4,000 ft (1,220m) deep. The Treant Rain Forest, a forest of nomadic Treants, is usually located around it for the majority of the year, though they sometimes stray as far south as the Dundugoras during the winter.

Great Continent
The Great Continent is the westernmost continent, ranging from mild, wet and temperate climates to cold, dry climates. Much of the continnent is very cold and in permanent darkness. The Minotaurs, Dwarves, Trolls, Ogres are orignated here. The two nations that make up the Great Continent are Vy Mirvë and Kahrim.

Hydratic Ocean
The coldest, westernmost ocean is known as the Hydratic Ocean, named for the large number of hydra that inhabit it. It borders the entirety of Vy Mirvë where its temperatures remain freezing and a portion of Lorelei where it is somewhat warmer as well.

Kensillan Continent
The Kensillan Continent is the southernmost continent of Vereva. Its climate hase the widest range throughout the four seasons, as most continents only show a significant change in the winter season. The Humans and the Gnomes are widely accepted to have originated here, although there is no conclusive evidence. Kensilla is made up of only one nation called Lorelei.

Leek Aç'üçë (Mirvermish: pronounced: LUHK a-SUUUH-say; /ˈləːk æˈsəːːse/) is frozen under 4.5 ft (1.4m) of ice and permafrost year around, though it provides food and fresh water for those in the surrounding area. The lake is said to freeze fast enough to require maintaining its 77 official fishing holes a daily job.

Luring Rock
On the easternmost regions on the Kensillan Continent in the country of Lorelei, several natural crystal forests filled the plains. Collectively called the Luring Rock, the forests shone brightly and acted as beacons to travelers as far as 100 miles (161km) away. The crystal forests, now missing from the lands of Kensilla, are believed to have largely died off on the continent sometime before the Trail to Kensilla, though few crystal trees still exist ther.

P'ödy River
The P'ödy River (Mirvermish: pronounced: POOOO-dee; /ˈpuːːdiː/) is a river of southern Vy Mirvë near Çotywol. During the winter months, many fish mistakenly swim up the P'ödy River during their migrations into the Central Ocean through the Çy ffir vy Wöihod.

Phoenix Ocean
The Phoenix Ocean is the warmest, easternmost ocean facing the Diurnal Eye. Because it is in unyielding light, only receiving darkness for less than three months out of the year, its waters remain in a constant boil, much too hot for most species to inhabit. Species that may inhabit it usually have thick skins, scales or exoskeletons that can deflect or absorb massive amounts of heat. The Phoenix is known to inhabit areas around the Phoenix Ocean as its water is the only water of high enough temperature not to harm it. Only the eastern side of the Almsaundean Continent faces the Phoenix Ocean.

Pömt Mirvë
The westernmost point on Vereva, called Pömt Mirvë is the coldest place of the world where the sun never shines. It exists in the location polar opposite of the Beating Heart. Pömt Mirvë is about 200 miles (322km) west of Vy Mirvë's westernmost city Aç'üçë, and may only reach temperature heights at just above -100°F (-73°C).

River Rovëblau
River Rovëblau (Lindjerblau: pronounced: ROH-vayr-blou; /ˈɹoveɹblaʊ/) is a boiling water river of eastern Eidriel. The river, emptying into the Phoenix Ocean, travels through the Savanna of Raf into Mekyrus. The river's water is too hot to drink but the temperature makes renders the saline useless. Often, peoples using the river as their supply of water let it cool off in large pots before drinking but cook foods directly in the water using colanders.

River of the Ssāssa
The River of the Ssāssa (Bevesdani: pronounced: SAHN-suh; /ˈsɑ~sə/) is a river of bevesta emptying into the Central Ocean at Cle.

The Scar
The Scar: The Scar is a group of islands of various sizes that makes up the final, central continent laying in the Central Ocean. The climate of the scar is largely tropical and subtropical, and only the Aelves and the Centaurs are known to have originated here. The Scar is modernly one loosely populated nation called Avelamb.

Sea of Kensilla
The Sea of Kensilla is a body of water of the Central Ocean encompassed by Kahrim to the north, the Skypass to the west and Lorelei to the south. The waters of the Sea of Kensilla are tepid throughout most of the year but become cool enough for kraken and other species of the Hydratic Ocean to make their winter migrations into the Central Ocean in order to lay their eggs.

Skypass
The Skypass is a small fraction of the Kalle Mountains between Kensilla and the Great Continent that stretches across the seas splitting the Central and Hydratic Oceans. The way the Skypass' peaks stretch across the ocean suggest, to those who are religous, that the two continents were one larger continent before the Coming of Bevesta. The Skypass is attributed to helping the Humans of the Great Continent majorly as their main means of transoceanic travel during the Trail to Kensilla.

South Ocean
The South Ocean is the second largest ocean, though its borders are indefinite. It borders cardinally south to Bevesta, for which it is named, and east and south to Lorelei. In the east, it flows into the Phoenix Ocean at an undefined point, though some oceanographers draw the line where the water begins to boil. In the southwest and northwest, it flows into the Hydratic and Central Oceans respectively.

Tirf River
The Tirf River (Mirvermish: pronounced: TEERTH; /ˈtirð/) is a river of northern Mirvë that crosses into Kahrim via a valley in the Kalle Mountains at Djinne.

Trade Ocean
The Trade Ocean is the northermost ocean of Vereva. Alike the Central Ocean, its waters are mostly tepid year round.Its name derives from its use as the main ocean of trade during the Age of the Giants in which northern nations of the Almsaundean Continent imported and exported goods through Kjerba to the Great Continent.

Weithe River
The Weithe River (Mirvermish: pronounced: vuh-EE-tuh; /vəˈiʈə/) is a mostly frozen river of western Vy Mirvë that empties into the Hydratic Ocean.

Zevro River
The Zevro River (Kahremish: pronounced: zhuh-VROH; /ʒəˈvɹo/) is a river in south Kahrim, now under rule of Bevesta. It stretches from its mouth in Vercinjetoris to Masrë and branches out into the lesser rivers Levink and Djoho.
