Phum

ภูมิ

Phum is a world scarred by the past, a land of myth and wonder shaped by a cataclysm that tore a vast wound into the planet itself – “the Wounding”. At “The Edge”, where land and sea abruptly end, great rivers and oceans pour endlessly into the void, vanishing into the unknown. To those who dwell here, it is a place of reverence and terror and a constant reminder that the world is not as whole as it once was.

But Phum is far more than its scar. It is a realm where magic weaves through the very fabric of existence, where protector “Tutd’sawan” walk among mortals and ancient creatures stir beneath mountains and seas. Towering shards of crystal hum with arcane energy, floating islands drift through stormy skies, and primeval forests whisper with voices older than the Wounding.

Himmapan

หิมพานต์

The Himmapan forest is an ever-shifting landscape, a deeply magical forest that resists all efforts to define and map it. Some say that at the center of the forest, a titanic tree stretches to the heavens, a tree so large that a civilization could rise, flourish and fall on a single branch. Wrapped around the base of the tree is the skeleton of Anon, a great fish that legends say was the first living thing to come from the void.
