The great eastern continent Canbria The largest land on Temar: thirty-one countries and no one in charge. Dridura · Abeney · Tibica · Valbara · Simula The Islands The fastest ships in the world, the oldest colony, and a few islands best avoided. The cradle of the races Jabor Closed to visitors. A magical barrier has sealed Jabor since 2388. Closed

Why visit Temar?

Something for every traveller

Whatever brings you across the dimensions, the Bureau has a suggestion. Most of them are safe.

Adventure Calamar is called “the great city of adventure” for a reason. Adventurers’ guilds in Parah are always hiring. Magic Ten essences, nine arts and a great many rules about who may use them. Learn before you glow. Potions & herbs Healing potions from 2 silver. Heartfire weed if you’re lucky. Dragon berries if you’re very brave. Gold & silver Three metals, six coins and an honest exchange rate. Mostly honest. Danger Poisoned swamps, living stone forests and a small dog of legendary ferocity. Strictly for the experienced. Trade Bartertown welcomes you. Goblins will make you an offer. Read the contract. Long history More than three thousand years of races, wars, wonders and one very large wall. Quests Simula’s townsfolk always need a hand — infiltrators, monster-filled mines and one very particular apple pie.

Before you go

Travel advisories

The Bureau rates every region from 1 (low risk) to 5 (extreme). These three are currently at the top of the list.

Level 5No entry

Jabor

Jabor (the whole continent)

Sealed by a magical barrier since 2388. Do not attempt to cross it. Do not accept passage from smugglers.

Level 5Do not enter

Vorpal Swamp

Central Onsa

Highly toxic water about chest deep, and “a wide variety of extremely poisonous and deadly creatures”. The cuttlewyrm, a legless, wingless dragon that breathes poison gas, is the worst of them. Do not drink, wade or picnic.

Level 5Do not land

The Isle of Ni

South of Jabor

Home to the Chihuahua, a monster of terrifying ferocity (level 70). The Bureau does not exaggerate. The Bureau never exaggerates.

Look up

Tonight’s sky over Temar

Temar has three moons, none of them in step with the others. Tavi races around in 23 days, Morrow takes 37 and stately Solenne 58. A moonless night, when all three are dark at once, comes only about once a year — and some things on Temar can only be read by starlight.

Wildlife of Temar

Jungles full of toucans and pythons, mountains full of dragons, and a few things the Bureau would rather not illustrate.
