Duospherical Theory is a geographical theory that the world of Helevos is a sphere, with two hemispheres which are the physical reverse of each other.

The Obverse is its opposite, a hemisphere of dry land with one large sea at its centre, infested with virid life making it impossibly hostile to humanity. This is still the leading belief in the modern world, which has restricted human exploration of the Obverse as a dangerous and pointless endeavour.
