Arnhem is set in a land that parallels Earth but is on the planet Terra. Terra is a parallel universe and as such much is the same when you compare the two worlds. For example, some of the history remains the same. The Order of the Hatchet happened on both Earth and on Terra. The Kingdom of Arnhem series is set in the late 1100s which is rather similar to our own 1100s, in that knights and chivalry and swords were commonplace.
When Pangea broke apart on Earth, the resulting continents were the Americas, Asia, Africa, Antartica, and Europe. But on Terra, in place of the Americas is the continent of Alethereia.
In the north of Alethereia, there is the NorRealm of Darkness, where the Villaimages live. There is Speica, a large, barren desert. This land is separated from Arnhem by Glacia Stream. To the northeast of Arnhem lies Talhil, the land of the haugtrolds or mound trolls. South of Arnhem is Darwal castle. Most of Darwal is under the ground, home to the dwarves. Finally, further south is where the ice dragons live, in the Infrapolaris. In between Alethereia and Europe is the Isle of Shadonia, the home of the Shadow Warriors.
Terra's beauty is marred by constant war. Can the land ever have peace?
