CHAPTER 2: WELCOME

TO KHORVAIRE

Just one century ago, Galifar was synonymous
with Khorvaire. This map showed one great
nation, harmonious and united. Perhaps that’s

overstating things. Humanity never crossed the
Graywall Mountains or explored the jungles
of the east. The Five Nations always had

independence. But still, the map showed us at our
best: one nation, united in a common cause.

Now I look at the map and I don’t recognize
my world. Galifar has been shattered. The Five
Nations are irreparably severed. There are so
many new realms—kingdoms of elves and goblins,
even this so-called ‘nation of monsters.’ Can
it possibly last? And if not, will it be another
war that brings it down, or will the Mourning
consume us all?

mysteries. The dragons of
Argonnessen have no love for
lesser creatures. The psychic
Xtyrants of Sarlona maintain strict
control over their borders and their people. So,
most player characters begin their adventures on
the continent of Khorvaire. While humans make
up the majority of the population in the civilized
nations of Khorvaire, the continent is home a
wide range of peoples and cultures. Once largely

Khorvaire is split into many nations—some old,
others newborn from the crucible of war.
This chapter provides an overview of the
nations of Khorvaire, along with a glimpse of
common life, magic, religion, and the world—
and planes—that lie beyond it.
