Orudara existed long before the Seven Kingdoms rose. As the first land and the cradle of humanity, it served as the wellspring for every people on earth today. This truth predates the founding of Maadigan or the forging of the Free Trade Zones.
Modern scholars place Orudara far to the south of Cendomvita, across the same ocean that carried refugees to northern shores millennia ago. For much of history, people dismissed its existence as mere myth. However, scattered records and fractured stone tablets eventually revealed a different reality. Rare voyagers who returned from the south confirmed that Orudara is older than any crown or council.
Because geographers long doubted the continent’s existence, they never defined its shape or size. For millennia, brave explorers sailed southward to seek the lost land. Most of these ships vanished without a trace. Despite these tragedies, legends suggest a continent with a climate and scale similar to Cendomvita.
These myths describe a land of vast forests, rugged mountains, and winding rivers. Some suggest the southern continent fits neatly against Cendomvita’s coast like a puzzle piece. For centuries, geologists scoffed at this idea, labeling it the greatest fabrication in history.
Legends claim that Orudara once flourished with its own kingdoms and guilds. Its people grew prosperous and proud until a great scourge swept the land during the “Time of Flight.” This event remains unnamed and undefined. History has forgotten whether a war, a plague, or a rebellion finally broke the cradle of civilization.
