Zahkdarret

Zahkdarret is the largest continent of Helevos, encompassing most of the western hemisphere to the west and north of Anásthias.

In Mayapo it means “Lands of Cold and Sun”, or more poetically The Lands of Fire and Ice. Zahkdarret, Retzayk and the island continent of Zetahburook in fact form a single supercontinent, separated from each other by the arctic ice cap.

According to traditional duospherical theory, the Civilised World is a circular sea surrounded by the “Edge Lands”. According to this understanding, Zahkdarret is merely the land to the west, and the frozen north is called the Ice Realm.
