Other World

The Other World is one of at least 275 planets—universe notwithstanding—said to be capable of sustaining life. It is orbited by the moon-like satellites Zaji and Ruvu.

Overview
Until a thousand years prior to Corpse God's reincarnation, the Other World enjoyed a recurring bidirectional connection to the habitable planet Earth. The special magic and technology needed to open this connecting pathway have since been seemingly lost, leaving the dragon Ordom the only being known to be capable of boring open the path anew. He is rumored to be currently doing so despite his typical disinterest in such affairs. At least two or three incidents of interplanetary travel from the Other World to Earth somehow taken place in the thousand years since the connection's lapsing: a Byandy faction and the Geldwood Church have together forced open a path to Earth over one hundred years ago, marking the last time this was achieved with a man-made spell; Corpse God has achieved soul travel via reincarnation; and Riddhe Malacougar has crossed in unexplained circumstances. The modified Terran objects in Elsia Sabaramond's collection, including aircraft & carrier jet models, engines, a Tesla coil, radiocommunication equipment, a projector, and World War I-reminiscent firearms and ammunition, may have been acquired during the aforementioned hundred-year-old crossing or another yet-to-be-disclosed incident.

Numerous similarities between the worlds suggest that they enjoyed a rich interplanetary exchange of flora, fauna, populations, technology, ideas, and other concepts while they were linked, with planetary conditions fundamentally affecting what flourished where. Where the Other World's Elemental-rich atmosphere and surfeit of gems allowed magic and necromancy to popularly thrive, Earth's comparatively Elemental-poor atmosphere and paucity of gems impeded magical practice so that it was relegated to local traditions and superstition. Although the Other World and Earth harbor major human populations, the former's vampires, dragons, elf-like Viveenyans, giants and others are the stuff of Terran myths; conversely, Earth's whales are creatures of legend on the Other World. Which planet originated what—humans, life itself—is an unanswered question requiring further research.

Continent of Bol
The mountainous Bol continent is a current home to several nations and the former home of the Byandy Empire, which encompassed the continent's south peninsula until its sudden collapse one hundred years prior to Corpse God's reincarnation. Rumors of ghosts and demons overrunning the peninsula led to other countries banning their citizens from entering the land; thus did Byandy Peninsula come to be known as the Abandoned Peninsula. A mountain range between the Empire and its neighboring enemy the Kingdom of Nyandild serves as a natural barrier that keeps the ghouls 'in'.

Far north of the Abandoned Peninsula and toward the continent's center lies the continent's tallest mountain chain, at the heart of which stands its tallest mountain: Saint Mount Boldorazo. This mountain houses a holy site of the Geldwood Church; Geldwood is the official religion of several countries including Nyanild, which, along with the Principality of Djadjamnyl, the Republic of Zurodakka, and another small country, sits nestled in the mountain chain's shadows. Zurodakka is located immediately northeast of Nyanild beyond the mountain range that, as the countries' natural border, hampers any strong relation-building. Where Geldwood's influence in Nyanild is significant, it is insignificant in Zurodakka, a republic far more preoccupied with economism and trade—both of which bustle in its capital port city.

Trivia

 * The term "Other World" is also used to refer to Earth from this Other World's perspective.
 * The 275 potentially life-sustaining planets are planets located in Earth's "sea of stars," which Pani Guldmarg states is a "very different sea of stars" to that of the Other World. It remains to be confirmed whether or not the Other World and Earth are located within the same galaxy, universe, or even dimensions.
