The Old World

The Old World is the collective name of the several continents that make up the majority of human civilization on the planet. These continents are surrounded by a vast and dangerous ocean which is thought to make up the rest of the world, as none have ever reported discovering notable land or have successfully circumnavigated the globe. Storms, sea creatures, psychological damage, and exhaustion have resulted in the failure of all expeditions into the Great Ocean. There is one safe passage from the Old World through the Great Ocean which leads to the Lost Sea, which is a quiet stretch of ocean with few islands. Ocean waters in the Old World are variations of blue, and form a divider line with the waters of the Lost Sea which are variations of green.
