The Four Corners of Civilization

The Four Corners of Civilization is the "known world" of Temerant.

Description

Depicted on the map at the beginning of both books, the Four Corners consists of seven countries all greatly differing from each other in culture. Judging from the map, the name describes the four largest nations, territory wise. These consist of the Commonwealth in the south-west, Ceald in the north-west, Modeg in the north-east, and Vintas in the south-east. These frame the Aturan Empire, with two smaller outliying nations the Small Kingdoms and Yll. The map also features the country of Ademre which is not part of the Four Corners. The Four Corners is bordered on three sides by water and the Stormwal Mountains on the other.
