The Four Corners of Civilization

The Four Corners of Civilization is the general term for the "known world" of Temerant.

Description

The Four Corners of Civilization is made up of seven countries and is bordered on three sides by water and the Stormwal Mountains on the other. These consist of the Commonwealth in the south-west, Ceald in the north-west, Modeg in the north-east, and Vintas in the south-east. These frames the Aturan Empire, with two smaller outlying nations the Small Kingdoms and Yll.

The Four Corners is the setting of The Kingkiller Chronicle, wherein the main character, Kvothe, discusses his childhood in The Commonwealth and his later travels to Vintas and Ademre. The Four Corners currently seems to share its geographical space with a parallel world known as The Fae; whether this universe encompasses all of Temerant remains to be seen.
