A brief history of some of the realms...
The universe of Spellborn is split into several different realms, a few of which we’ll list here:
The Empire of the Eight Demons
This is the name generally given to the preceding ancestral world, the place that existed before Deadspell. Little is known about the Empire of the Eight Demons, except that it was destroyed in an epic war between its eight demonic rulers. It is also known as Mummujoxuru or the "Ancestor World". After the destruction of the Ancestor world a long time passed before humanity awakened and started to build up what is now known as the Enclave.

A small cluster of Shard Worlds, this is the foothold of civilization established by the survivors of the war that destroyed the Ancestor World. The name of the Enclave is derived from the fact that at the pinnacle of the war, five houses banded together and fought for justice and honor, instead of satisfying the bloodlust of their demonic sovereigns. They betrayed the Empire and prevailed in the end, long after the Ancestor World and its eight demonic overlords had been destroyed. Among the ruins of a horrible past, they founded the Enclave.

These worlds orbit the small focal point of a gigantic corona, expanding outwards in uncounted rings. In the centre - the first ring - a new civilization has been founded by the survivors of the war that destroyed the Ancestor World. They call the ruined universe that surrounds them"Deadspell". Players travel through the Deadspell and its dangerous Storms on large Shard Ships. These vessels are crafted from the rocks and magical stones called "liftstone", the materials that actually keep the ships in the air.

Quarterstone is a large city which completely fills its entire Shards' interior and serves as the initial home to all the players of The Chronicles of Spellborn. It is a safe haven where combat will only occur in the Arena or on very special occasions. Players can trade, craft, relax in a tavern or on the streets, battle in the arena, visit the Temple of the Oracle, take on quests or do whatever they want inside the safe walls of Quarterstone. Inhabitants of the Enclave can journey to the Ancestor World to replay historic events (such as important battles between the Houses and forces of the Eight Demons) through the Temple of the Oracle.

Ringfell is a Shard that is only partially inhabitable. A large part of Ringfell is covered by the Wastelands, a dangerous and mysterious place with many undiscovered answers about the past and the future of the world. The Enclave was able to build two small villages, called Scourpool and Cairnkegg on the relatively safe upper ring, a landmass that lies above the thick blanket of fog that covers the Wastelands.
