Map of Arvaal

This suspiciously familiar-looking globe is the world of Arvaal, seat of high adventure and epic legend.

Arvaal is the astronomically unlikely moon of the gas giant the locals refer to by various mythological names, such as "Selcareh's Shield." Arvaal orbits and rotates in such a way that one side always faces the sun. Its extremely long day and night cycle comes from passing behind its gas giant planet. Thus, the sun is perpetually overhead in the central Impireal tropics, and always lower in any of the surrounding, colder lands. The "horizon" lands border on ice fields of eternal darkness, the abode of eldritch horrors and restless shades.
