In the long Dark Age that followed the Plague, most knowledge of the earth's geography was lost or destroyed. The world shrank. People learned once again to define geographical boundaries by mountain ranges, seas, rivers. Lands beyond became places of fear and myth, and the subject of fantastic tales. The end of this Dark Age is marked by the great exploratory voyages and colonisations of the Oru. But even on their beautiful, meticulous maps, large regions of the earth remained unexplored. The romance and allure of the blank spaces on those maps can't be overstated. Ever since, men and sometimes women of an adventurous cast have undertaken dangerous, often fatal journeys into them, the few who returned bringing back tales that were either too strange to understand or too wild to believe.
