The World of Caelvarra
Welcome to Caelvarra—a realm where kingdoms rise, magic lingers in blood and stone, and ancient power sleeps just beneath the surface.
This vast continent is divided into four sweeping regions, each with its own history, culture, and magic. Some are born with gifts, others carve their power through ritual, alchemy, or inheritance. But one truth remains across all lands: magic always comes with a cost—and forgetting the past only feeds the darkness beneath it.
Below, you’ll find the official map of Caelvarra—commissioned by author Elle Wildes and illustrated by cartographer Melissa Nash, M.A. This is your gateway into a world of betrayal, rebellion, and kingdoms on the edge of ruin.
Explore. Wander. Fall in love with a world worth saving.
(And keep your eyes on the mirrors. They’re always watching.)
🏔 The Northern Realms: The Four Northerlies Harsh, snow-bound, and war-forged, these kingdoms value power above peace. Valmont: The fallen fortress kingdom once ruled by House Corvallis. Known for stonework, honor, and the black stag sigil now buried beneath snow and conquest. The Frostlands: A glacial wasteland haunted by exiled warriors and lost magics. Rothgar: A brutal empire of iron roads and war machines, where conquest is currency and resistance dies in the snow. Vorskyr: Mercenary strongholds hidden among cliffs. Their loyalty is for sale—and their blades have no allegiance.
🏛 The Central Realms: Magic, Trade & Intrigue The heart of the continent, where arcane towers rise alongside political ambition. The Ordréan Empire: A river-fed empire of nobles, scholars, and shadowed alliances. Arcane colleges flourish within its spired cities. Ilyrios: The kingdom of ritual magic and mirrored lakes—where alchemists trade secrets like coin. Caelthar: Grassland steppes and fortified keeps. Known for horse-lords and war strategy, it is a quiet power in waiting.
🌊 The Western Coast & Archipelagos: Magic of the Sea Mist-covered, tide-touched, and ancient, these lands breathe with forgotten magic. Belmara: Améliane’s lost kingdom. Once radiant, now ruled by a usurper. Its sigil—the moonlit tidelily—remains a symbol of quiet defiance. The Veil Isles: Floating and shifting, shrouded in sea fog. Home to witches, seers, and strange creatures drawn to the moon. Mireath: Storm-swept and pirate-ruled. Smugglers, black-market mages, and war-scarred towers watch the sea from its jagged cliffs.
🌴 The Southern Kingdoms: Secrets Beneath the Soil Lush and ancient, the south is alive with forgotten bloodlines and buried gods. Eshkar: Desert sands, enchanted relics, and sandstone cities. Its river, the Lareth, glitters with myth. Ziraveen: Jungle-choked and hidden by mist. Shapeshifters and ancient totems guard its secrets. Here lies Eldrenoire—cursed, sentient, and sealed. Solrienne: Sun-blessed hills and divine temples. A land of radiant rulers and golden magic.
