Ceres

Ceres (pronounced, "SAIR-EHZ") is the main continent and sumarily the world in which Nuheres-Ceres takes place in.

It is one large pangaea-like continent that is composed on numerous kingdoms, not limited to the Kingdom of Axia and the Kingdom of Nuheres.

Geographically, the super-continent of Ceres is lopsided. A majority of the largest nations and empires of the continent are located on the eastern half.

Our focus, the Kingdom of Nuheres is situated on the Western end, isolated from the rest of the continent since it is beyond the White Line.

The Peripheral Lines
From a "civilized" Eastern perspective, there are several boundaries the define the cilivized eastern Core Realm from the wild and barbarian peripheral reaches. The peripheral reaches are usually seperated from the Core Realms by a geographically distinguishing feature. On the world map, these boundaries are known as "Peripheral Lines" and are marked with certain colors.

The Red Line
The originator of the phrase, "Beyond the Red Line", the Red Line refers to the southern boundary of the Core Realms. Its physical boundary is the Great Alsabaster Desert, but politically it extends slightly further north towards the Cape Towns. The Red Line is the most famous of all the Peripheral Lines, because crossing the Red Line is commonly known the boundary separating the civilized world of the Core Realms and the lawless Domain of the Pirate Kings in the desert nations and beyond.

The Black Line
The Black Line refers to the northern boundary of the Core Realms. Its physical marker is the Ceres Mountain Range itself, which runs east-west across the entire continent of Ceres. Crossing the Ceres Mountains leads one into The Wild, an infinite reaching expanse of thick forest and darkness. Unearthly and magical creatures are said to lurk beyond the Black Line.
