The Dark Continent

Many hundred of thousand years ago...The Human species started to form. They were a special species because they grew and evolved on the lands of The Known World. The Known World is the 9 continents pictured in The World Map. Humans lived and thrived on these 9 continents without knowing the danger that lied a couple hundred miles off shore. What the humans didn't know was that there existed much more land and life beyond their circle of knowledge. A great sea barrier known as The Outer "Wall". It was a mysterious mass of water that looked like a big wave. But the wave never moved, making it seem like a wall of water. No one knows how the wall was formed or how it does what it does. But beyond the wall lies an ginormous piece of land that holds the secrets to the creation of life itself. The land houses many exotic types of plants and mysterious and dangerous creatures, never before seen by humans. The secrets to how The Known World was created resides there, and the knowledge of evolution from which the humans came from also lives there.

Only a few select human beings have managed to cross the oceans wall and make it to the dark continent. But none of come back or survived the journey. Those beings were the first of the Council of Lords. They established a system in order to control the humans of The Known World so they wouldn't be able to leave their land due to the dangers of the Dark Continent. 4 of the original councils lords ventured into the continent. They managed to find a way to make it through the wall and into the continent. But no messages came back. There we no signs that their journey was successful due to the blockage of the wall. To this day, the council never mentions the continent unless its necessary to the survival of the human race.
