Kethira is the name of the world. The vast majority does not know more than this. If you have a background that might allow more knowledge there are more to be revealed.
Kethira
Kethira, Hârn’s planet, is the second of five planets of the star Nolomar. It is slightly smaller than Terra and has one moon, called Yael. It is predominantly a water planet; oceans and seas cover 78 percent of the surface area, including two large polar ice packs, neither of which cap any continental mass. Its three continents, in order of size, are Lythia, Mernat, and Kamerand.
Lythia
The continent of Lythia is, by far, the largest of the three. With a surface area of 54 million square kilometers and ranging from 60 degrees north to 40 degrees south, Lythia has every type of Kethiran climate and vegetation. The variety of peoples, cultures, and languages is vast.
Mernat
Mernat is located entirely in the southern hemisphere roughly 3,000 miles southeast of Lythia at the end of the extensive Molkurian archipelago. Mernat has an area of 20 million square kilometers. Climate and vegetation are varied, but the continent is very dry; it boasts the largest desert on Kethira and extensive grasslands. Mernat is not densely populated. The fertile coastlands are peopled with a variety of cultures, none of which are much more advanced than those of central Anzeloria on Lythia. Steppe nomads range throughout the grasslands and the deserts are effectively uninhabited. The existence of Mernat is unknown to western Lythians but has been visited by Molnasian seafarers, who call it Kitoh, the “mighty land of the east.”
Kamerand
Kamerand lies almost 10,000 kilometers west of Lythia, separated by the vast Haonic Ocean. It is roughly one third the size of Lythia, with an area of 18 million square kilometers. This continent has a narrow east/west axis but its north/south axis exceeds that of Lythia. Hence, the range of climate and vegetation is equally diverse to that of Lythia. It is presumed that Kamerand has a wide range of peoples and cultures but little is known about them. With the exception of a few Ivinian seafarers, Lythians do not know that this land exists and there are no recorded visits by Kamerandians to Lythia.
