Size: Unknown. Navigated waters measure circa 14,300,000 square miles.
Home to many island states. Known as the Empty Sea due to its size. Tinotte explorers coined the phrase Empty Sea because ‘the horizon always looks empty as if it goes on forever’. See accompanying map for further details.

Envelop Gateway - The opening from our world into the Parawerthan. Consists of three sections.
Inner tunnel: A shaft drops 28ft underground from the basement of Singleton cottage and continues as a tunnel for 54.6ft before widening into a small cave.
Cave: The remains of the Cauldron Doorway are found here. When the machine around the Cauldron is activated it causes a physical portal between the two worlds to open in the wall.
Outer tunnel: This leads from beyond the portal for a farther 89.2ft before empting into the Parawerthan. The outer tunnel is where Maya lay comatose for over a year. It is also where the Wind Sentry performs its checks. Raymond constructed a barbed wire barricade with 7000 volts running through it just inside the tunnel exit to deter any intruders.

Envelop Getinol - Sometimes known as a Gardener. Core component of second and third generation Envelops. Each Envelop Getinol is trained in the specific maintenance of the Envelop it’s assigned to. Will remain attached to a Father Tree for up to one year after introduction to Envelop in order to gain detailed field knowledge of that Envelop. Once fully operational it is an essential feature of a functional Envelop.
Envelop Plantagen - Naturally formed security system used for prohibiting access to portals and other vulnerable areas. Envelop Plantagens are designed by the Nescan Guild. They consist of a layer of ‘jungle’ containing traps, creatures, poisons, and other ‘weaponry’ designed to kill intruders.
Though it appears to be randomly ‘planted’ around the restricted area, every tree, bush, weed, trap, and creature, within the Envelop is connected and monitored by an overseeing power called Father Tree. Each Envelop also contains an Envelop Getinol who provides maintenance services under the instruction of Father Tree.
Envelop Plantagens are custom designed according to the Nescan customers’ needs. Due to the high expense and maintenance contracts, only independent governments, principalities, and other wealthy organisations can afford them. Due to ‘contractual differences’ or lack of funds, some Envelops have not been maintained. It is unknown outside of Nescan circle how many of these types of Envelops exist.

ES Dead Ground - Also known as, ‘Envelop Seclusion Dead Ground’. Area of barren ground formed along the perimeter of an Envelop Plantagen to provide a first layer of deterrent. Almost impossible to cross without serious injury or death due to trap placement and energy produced with the ES’s soil.
Eyes of the Soul - A tracking spell used to hunt enemy in dense jungle. The glare from its many facets causes burn marks to flesh akin to sunburn.
