[edit] Overview

Paravia is the major populated continent on the world of Athera.

In the First Age and Second Age, the Paravian High Kings ruled over the continent of Paravia.

In the Third Age, Paravia was divided into five High Kingdoms of Men:

• Tysan
• Rathain
• Havish
• Melhalla
• Shand (and West Shand)

In addition, there are land masses which are not part of any High Kingdom:

• Lost Isles of Min Pierens: A chain of islands in the Westland Sea.
• Los Lier: An archipelago in the Cildein Ocean.
• Unnamed Land Mass: An area of land between Araethura, Lanshire, and West Halla is outside the borders of any kingdom and has no distinguishing features. The author has stated in the Chat Area that this is intentional, and not an oversight.¹

The southern end of Paravia is near the equator of the planet -- in the stories, this area is described as having a mild, tropical climate.

Please see the Atheran Timeline for an in-depth look at the various Ages in history.
