The mortal world is an old and magical place, it rests in the Cosmos of the Planes, in between the unfathomable realms of the Astral Sea and The Elemental Chaos, the origins of creation. Next to it sits the sister worlds of the Shadowfell and Feywild, echos of its darkest, and brightest features. The world is called Abeir Toril in almost all languages, and the magic of its existence is what keeps the mortal world turning.
