Map of Ateria

Ateria

Across the wide and sprawling expanses of the two continents of Ateria, the Dragonspine’s Claw holds one of the jewels of civilization: Limboratii, city of magical scholars and libraries. In the far reaches of the claws lies a gaping wound in the body of the Deval Desert: the Pit, a black slash down into the very core of the world, spilling out it’s very worst.

The General Library

The General Library of Limboratii

Limboratii is a city of Libraries. The General Library is both the oldest and least visited one out of several dozen, serving as an entry point to any one topic for new and curious scholars. Each library has it’s own group of lived in librarians, although the General Library only sports one Magister to call it’s own.

Temple of the Soul

The Temple of the Soul

At the very bottom of the Pit where no sun has ever warmed the red stone, a single light breaks through the darkness. Built by the King of the Pit, this temple to the Soul stands as a strange contrast of light and faith to everything else that lives down there in the dark.
