	The Vanadian Borehole is a massive, vertical excavation tunnel originally created by the [[Vanadian Empire]] using a ~~replica~~ Worldstone.

	Of course, a powerful civilization capable of harvesting its energy could theoretically drain its magic which would cause its lifespan to shorten. In the entire history of Erudite, only one civilization has ever attempted this feat. During the late Antiquity Era, a massive, magically capable empire sought to dominate the world by seizing control of the core to effectively hold it hostage. They were stopped by not just the Arbiters but also the wrathful Kaiju. It is thought this incident led to the worldwide collapse in technology at the time, leading to the Medieval Era.		Of course, a powerful civilization capable of harvesting its energy could theoretically drain its magic which would cause its lifespan to shorten. In the entire history of Erudite, only one civilization has ever attempted this feat. During the late Antiquity Era, a massive, magically capable empire society known as the [[Vanadian Empire]] sought to dominate the world by seizing control of the core to effectively hold it hostage. They created a magical parasite known as the [[Thalefeaster]] to harness its energy.

			The Vanadians were stopped by not just the Arbiters but also the wrathful Kaiju. It is thought this incident led to the worldwide collapse in technology at the time, leading to the Medieval Era. However, the Arbiters chose not to destroy the Thalefeaster as doing so could risk destroying the entire planet with it. Thus, it was placed under heavy guard until a solution to neutralize it could be devised.

			The City of Judgment is the location for the headquarters of the [[Arbiter]]s. The buildings are carved directly into the stone with a surprising intricacy.

	Stenkolpad Pass is a vast undeground chasm in the southern hemisphere directly underneath the oceans separating Khyorgan and Swen. Today, it is not particularly remarkable, but in the distant past, it was the route that ancient Archei dwarves took to reach Swen. The chasm is considered impassable without some sort of flying device or spell. However, geological markings along the walls indicate that Titan Tortoises once nested in the area. These giant species of tortoise have backs made out of rock and can live for tens of thousands of years, many specimens being older than all of mortal civilization. The dwarves that crossed through used their backs to cross the chasm. However, since then, the Titan Tortoises migrated to other nesting areas, leaving the chasm abandoned and isolating the dwarves of Khyorgan and Swen.
