Editing Talislanta (section)

==Setting==
Archaeus is the world on which Talislanta is a continent. It is (now) a flat disk, mostly comprised of water. The world orbits two suns and has seven moons, which are used to keep track of time, 7 months in a year, 7 weeks in a month, 7 days in a week. In the 1990 edition, Archaeus was a sphere with the twin suns and moons orbiting that.

In the distant past, ''The Great Disaster'', brought on by the falling of the flying cities of the now-dead Archaen, transformed much of the worlds surface. Once verdant lands turned to desolate wastelands and a colossal magical hurricane settled around the continent, occasionally bringing in things like acid rain and arcane energy storms. From this came the ''Age of Confusion'', during which ''Talislanta: The Savage Land'' takes place, when people abandoned the cities of old and much knowledge of magic and the world was lost.

The main gameline takes place in the sixth century of the ''New Age'', as pockets of civilization have risen from the ashes, surrounded by ruins of ancient cities with riches and knowledge to be found, wild beasts, breath-taking sights, savage tribes, and rumors of a coming second Great Disaster.

The main players on Talislanta are the western Seven Kingdoms, which are mostly harmless; the Quan Empire to the east now run by KANGS, and Zandu and Aaman. Also plenty of wilderness, especially up north.

Northwest of the continent is the Midnight Sea; this blends into the Aethereal Sea. This features sea-dragons and Khazad ghost-ships. Northeast is the Sea of Madness. Azure Ocean is west.
