The Realm of Nythem consists of four distinct territories: the Luminescent Sands of Ryvenar in the East, the Tundras of Thajek in the North, the Mountains, savannahs, and grasslands of Shyllen in the West, and the Marshes of Reheroth in the South. Each region, touched by the golden liquid known as brea, holds its beauty and uniqueness.
The deserts of Ryvenar, with dunes shimmering with the faint glow of Brea-infused sand. Creatures of the night roam these arid lands, having evolved bioluminescent features and magical abilities to survive the harsh climate. The inhabitants of Ryvenar live near the precious oases, where their cities glisten like beacons under the endless sky. Despite the dangers, traders and explorers are drawn to Ryvenar's golden sands, lured by the riches of the land and its rare crystals.

To the north, the Tundra of Thajek stretches far into the frozen horizon. It is a land where the cold is either hardened or softened by the flow of the elements and Brea, flowing beneath the surface in glowing rivers that sustain life in an otherwise inhospitable environment. The hardy people of Thajek have long learned to channel the magic of Brea, infusing their settlements with light and heat. Though isolated, Thajek thrives, its people fierce and resilient against both the cold and the creatures that stalk the tundra.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
In the west lies the Lands of Shyllen, where vast plains of glowing grass sway under the soft light of Brea, which flows beneath the land like hidden arteries. The flora and fauna here are deeply connected to Brea, with plants and animals alike displaying faint luminescence. Communities of humans and other races have built their lives around agriculture, using the magic of Brea to enhance crop growth and protect their lands from the wild beasts that roam the fields.

Southward, the Marshes of Reheroth are home to some of Nythem's most mysterious and dangerous creatures. The murky waters pulse with Brea, casting an eerie glow through the dense fog. The trees here grow tall and twisted, their bark shimmering with absorbed Brea, while bioluminescent fungi and algae light the waters beneath. The inhabitants of Reheroth have adapted to life in the swamp by building their homes on stilts or floating platforms, relying on Brea for both light and protection from the many predators that lurk beneath the surface.

Between these regions, the Brea flows endlessly, shaping the land and its people. Each territory tells its own story of survival, adaptation, and the magic that sustains life in this twilight world. From the gleaming sands of Ryvenar to the marshy depths of Reheroth, the southern continent is a continent. where chaos and magic intertwine, creating a land both beautiful and perilous for those who call it home.

Closing the worn cover of the woolen book, Ikaal sighed deeply. The golden light of Brea flickered through the window, casting long shadows across the room. For all that the book contained, it still held more questions than answers, just like the land itself.
