Atlantis

analogue for various Greek cultures, mythological and realistic. 

Capitol city Athenë famously sunken.  

Athenë

    1. (City) The sunken capitol of the former Atlantic Empire.
    see: Atlantis

    2. (Deity) Goddess of wisdom, purity, and strategy. Athenë was the patron goddess of the Atlantic capitol city that bore her name. (see def. 1.)

Åldalga

     Åldalga (pronunciation: ol·DAL·gah) is a land that lies somewhere far to the west of Hesperia. The Åldalgan Sea that lies off the west coast of the Hesperian continent seems to be twisted in knots, and simply setting sail west from the shore will never land a boat on Åldalga. The few known paths through the twisted sea are treacherous, and only the sturdiest, storm worn vessels have been known to make the journey.
    Åldalga is primarily known for the frightening ferocity of its wilderness. The Åldaigh (also called Åldalgan Dwarves, or Sea Dwarves) who inhabit the northern reaches of the eastern Åldalgan coast are the only civilization on the continent known to the outside world. The rest of Åldalga is a thick, seemingly endless jungle, much of which is almost impenetrably dense.

Abyss, The

    The Abyss is the metaphysical underworld of Tel, though thinking of it as being located beneath anything is misleading. Rather, the way the space of Tel folds topologically, there are regions exposed to the sky (which is the window through which divinity observes the world) and regions that are hidden from it. The Abyss is this space, at least at any given moment. The surface of Tel processes and subducts over long periods of time, with some of the surface eventually flowing down into the spacial crevasses that form naturally, beyond the sky. These subducted zones are dark, with no sun, or even the stars at night to illuminate the surface. Space seems to twist in the dark, making it frighteningly dangerous to navigate. The Abyss is a primordial realm, and is haunted by demons, creatures formed out of pure rapacious chaos.
    There are certain regions of Tel that may only be accessed by carefully traversing a region of Abyss- specifically of note is the Lost City of Yôdh.

Aälldhel

    Aälldhel is a mythological city that supposedly could be found far to the west. The city was supposedly built as a labyrinth of unthinkable size, made to imprison the gargantuan Ŵm, the mouth of the world that swallows the sun every evening.
