DERETH · WORLD OVERVIEW
Dereth
A broken realm reshaped by the Sundering, shared uneasily by four peoples and haunted by the Olthoi — the setting for Kaldor's story in Asheron's Call.
Overview
Dereth is the continent Asheron's Call is set on, still reeling from the Sundering — the magical cataclysm that shattered Asheron's tower and scattered portals across the land. The Aluvians, Gharu'ndim, Sho, and Tumeroks hold an uneasy peace under the shared threat of the insectoid Olthoi and the shadow creatures loosed by that same catastrophe.
This overview is deliberately shallow — one page for the whole world rather than one per region — with a link out to the full map gallery for anything more detailed.
Notable Regions
Holtburg
An Aluvian frontier town, and one of the most common starting points for adventurers in Dereth.
Cragstone
A fortified mining settlement, its tunnels and quarries drawing prospectors and monster hunters alike.
Shoushi
Island home of the Sho, built on martial discipline and ancestor reverence across the sea from the mainland.
