The Mainland
Disclaimer
The Mainland map is provided for Backstory development and roleplay only! The actual gameplay at Legends of Exile LARP takes place in the ETERNAL LANDS, not the Mainland. There is no out-of-game Eternal Lands map because discovering the uncharted world is part of the gameplay. In the setting of Legends of Exile, the Mainland is the continent that all player characters originate from and can only access the Eternal Lands by joining one of three Factions in their expedition.
"Mainland" is a stand-in name for this continent, don't get too attached!
The Continents
There are three continents on this world: the Mainland, the Eternal Lands (also known as the Island) and the Second Continent (name TBA). No player characters have ever been to the Second Continent or the Eternal Lands. The Mainland is connected to the Second Continent by a very thin land bridge. Before the second moon left the sky, this land bridge was impossible to cross. Present-day, it is still extremely dangerous– along with treacherous volcanic activity, it constantly floods and isn't wide enough for any significant group to cross safely. The continents are aware of each other's existence but have had a little history or interaction.
The Mainland
For the majority of human existence, the people of Mainland lived beneath a single sun and two moons. The twin moons caused constant tidal waves on the periphery of all known land masses, making coasts largely uninhabitable and ocean travel impossible until recently. When the second moon disappeared from the sky, the coasts of the outer ocean were suddenly habitable and civilization has sprung up quickly there.
In the center of the continent is a giant endorheic ocean. Often referred to as the "internal ocean," this massive body of saltwater was much less affected by the twin moons, allowing the continent some access to marine resources and to develop rudimentary sailing technology.
The Council is the government of the Mainland, composed of a representative from each nation. It operates on principles of equity and inclusivity. Every nation, regardless of its size or military power, has an equal say in the discussions and decisions made within the chamber. Each nation's leader or appointed representative, regardless of their title, is entitled to a seat and voice at the Council.
The Council formed the three Factions, specifically for the mission of exploring the Eternal Lands. Although some Factions had historical ties to previous factions or groups on the Mainland, they have been born anew to accomplish this goal.
