This article contains plot and/or ending details.

Erdas is the world in which the books are set. It is roughly based off of Earth.

Continents[]

Erdas is made up of seven continents:

  • Arctica ("The Lost Lands") (Antarctica, Arctic Circle)
  • There is also Sadre which is simply the underground of Erdas.

Language[]

In Wild Born, Rollan mentioned that Meilin spoke the 'Common' language. Each continent has their own languages (and many sub-languages, presumably) but 'Common' is most likely a language that is taught to the majority of people over all of the continents, similar to English in the real world. The languages of Erdas were rarely touched upon until Immortal Guardians and the books thereafter, where several characters spoke their native languages. Rollan taught Abeke some Amayan hand signals and their meanings. Tarik said that Lumeo was 'light' in his native tongue. In Against the Tide, the Hundred Islanders shouted something from their language. Kaiina, Prana, and Zerif spoke and understood a Zhongese language. Ingailor speaks another language, knowing the words "Belsharth roha". Howl, Stead, and Shadow signed a language in Broken Ground. In Immortal Guardians, Anda said a saying in his tribe was "Oranu yeno simula oranu mordico," which translates to, "a confident plainsman is a dead plainsman." Errol did an Amayan gesture while introducing himself to Abeke.

Trivia[]

  • Erdas is pronounced as "air-doss".[1]
  • The colors of the flags of Amaya, Eura, Nilo, and Zhong are the same as the eye color of their representative from the Four Fallen.
  • Stetriol was formerly under Conqueror control.
  • Zhong had fallen to the Conquerors during the war before falling into the reign of Princess Song after the Wyrm was defeated. It is now unknown who rules Zhong as we were not informed after Song presumably drowns in The Dragon’s Eye.
  • In the game, Nilo has lands resembling both Egypt and Southern Africa, accurately proving it is based on Africa. Zhong's lands look like Chinese fortresses, Eura's maps look like mountainous plains and Amaya has maps resembling both the Northern United States (North America) and rainforests with Aztec structures (South America and possibly Mexico).
  • Like the Americas, Amaya is known as 'The New Lands'.
  • Like Europe and Asia, Eura and Zhong are considered separate continents even though they're connected.
  • Nilo's name may be based off of the Nile River, the longest river in Africa.
    • It is an anagram of an animal found in it: a lion.
  • Zhong is based off of China's Chinese name, 中国, which in pinyin is zhong guo.
