Cantamund is the world in which GemVena takes place. It is around 1.5x the size of Earth. A Cantamundian year is 365 days long, just like Earth, though it's technically longer since the days are 32 hours long. Cantamund is a place where magic infiltrates every aspect of its inhabitants' lives. It is home to vast deposits of magical stones called reiha, which can give souls to nonliving things or complete the souls of already living things so that they can gain a human form as well as magical powers. The creatures derived from this process are called susanimas, which are the most common sentient species on the planet.
When creating Cantamund, I simply drew on paper as I saw fit. The mapmaking process didn't take practical thought so much as it was created according simply to what felt right. Over the years, I've transformed the landscape and added or destroyed land as needed. It will likely continue to change, and this is what is documented here.
