Areas

Nodeka is massive. With over 100,000 rooms, in over 90 areas, spanning five continents, you won't run out of places to explore. Below is a brief description of many of the areas across the Nodekian globe.

Overview

Nodeka's world consists of five continents, with areas and sub-areas contained within. There are geographical features such as mountain ranges, oceans, rivers, volcanoes, forests, deserts, and more. A real-time map is displayed as a feature of the MUD.

The five continents are:

• Gedaon
• The Isles of Drale
• Foldroth
• Tarsis
• Mhaldryn

Gedaon is likely the most familiar continent. The default home of Ruushi, as well as the starter quests in the Fields of Guidance and Mejath are located within. There are many low-level areas and early-game quests here as well. It's located fairly close to center within the world and can be considered as a main hub of travel and activity, mainly due to the Temple of Ruushi. To the west is Tarsis, southwest Mhaldryn, southeast Foldroth, and northeast are the Isles of Drale. Of those, the next most familiar continent in the world is likely Mhaldryn, which is home to Aur-Vindi, a common home for many players, with access to Foldroth to the east.
