The World of Warhammer
From WARpedia
The World of Warhammer is similar in size, layout and climate to the Earth, and spans several continents. It is orbited by two moons - the white moon Mannslieb and the dark moon Morrslieb. According to the earliest legends, the world was formed by a space faring race called the Old Ones, who possessed god-like powers. They built warp gates at the north and south poles which allowed them to travel quickly through space, but they were driven away from the planet when the warp gates collapsed, which initiated the coming of Chaos into the world.
The major continents include:
- The Old World (The Empire, Bretonnia etc.) - the equivalent of Europe
- The New World (Naggaroth & Lustria) - the equivalent of the Americas
- The Eastern Lands (the Dark Lands, Cathay, Nippon, the Ogre Kingdoms) - Asia
- The Southlands, Khemri, and Araby - Africa
- Ulthuan - an island nation, with similarities to the legendary Atlantis.
- The Realm of Chaos is located at the north pole, and probably also at the south pole.
