The Disc¶
A statue of Emperor Anyr holding up the Disc, found in western Av'Sal.
The Disc is the planetary body on which Drehmal is located, in addition to the (lore-only) continents of Western and Eastern Xivrhynt.
The disc does not have a proper name, although it could plausibly just be called "Drehmal" along with the mainland and the realm at large.
It is named as such because, unlike Earth, it is not a globe. Rather, it is a flat disc (or upside-down cone), with all of the habitable land being atop the flat surface of the planet.
Lore¶
The disc is believed to have formed around the base and roots of the Primal Tree at the dawn of the realm, and has since been dominated by Drehmari civilization. Its was formed in part by the Aspects, and its land was initially split into three continents: Primzahl in the center, home of the Tree, and two continents in the west and east whose names are not known. The Maelruhn and Viruhn likely came to settle these two continents, respectively, and their conflict caused the destruction of the land.
The land was then reimagined and rebuilt by Drehmal in the early Second Avihm, and since then, it has hosted the same three continents. Drehmal is the only one of these confirmed to have any remaining civilization, and is where functionally all of known history has taken place. The continents of Western and Eastern Xivrhynt are also supposedly on the disc, but not present in-game.
Lore also hints at the existence of another race of sapient beings who live in the deep caves underground in the disc, possibly even hanging from the underside. This is the realm of Neverdawn, strange arachnid people who are found in Caer Adacia and referenced in another deep cave. This expansive underground is also not a part of the current map.
Extras¶
A more detailed view of the disc can be seen in the late-game, beyond the 75% story event.
