 Cahyali is a sister plane of Jaern, and the two worlds have been inextricably linked ever since a planar collision a few years ago. Multitudes of portals connect the planes, and travel has become quite commonplace. Despite being an entire planet, over half of Cahyali remains unexplored, with known landmasses being limited to a single continent, called - well, Cahyali. This world's technology is somewhat more advanced than Jaern's, hovering around the real-world equivalent of the 1880s to 1920s depending on region. Cahyali worships [[:gods|the same gods as Jaern]], though many names differ and the exact method of worship varies across regions. Cahyali is a sister plane of Jaern, and the two worlds have been inextricably linked ever since a planar collision a few years ago.

 **Medius Ocean:** The ocean in the middle of the continent is given this name. It is small compared to those unexplored oceans outside the Cahyali continent, and is dotted by countless small islands. This ocean seems to have an oceanic ridge in its center running east-west, slowly pushing the continent apart inch by inch over millions of years. The Medius connects Cahyali to itself, and is traveled often by people from every country. **Medius Ocean:** The ocean in the middle of the continent is given this name.

-**Esrior's Fold**: This massive faultline rings the continent, accompanied by a host of active volcanoes in its vicinity. Due to constant storms and strong winds over the area, in addition to a disruption in the flow of magic, travel across the Fold has never been accomplished. Historians say the faultline appeared about 7,000 years ago - during the height of Imperial Dahabu - and many debate over its purpose: as a prison for Cahyali, or as a guard against what lies beyond.+**Esrior's Fold**: This massive faultline rings the continent, accompanied by a host of active volcanoes in its vicinity.

 **[[settings:cahyali:shinneok|Shinneok]]**: Northernmost of the Oxian subcontinent, Shinneok lies as a stalwart barrier between the Pale Reach and the Oxis Alliance, constantly resisting Pthoran aggression with its knightly orders. Having once ruled the entire Alliance, Shinnean culture is rather ubiquitous in Oxian territory. Their land ranges from temperate deciduous forests to coniferous, alpine regions. **[[settings:cahyali:shinneok|Shinneok]]**: Northernmost of the Oxian subcontinent, Shinneok lies as a stalwart barrier between the Pale Reach and the Oxis Alliance, constantly resisting Pthoran aggression with its knightly orders.
