KANDORYA 2022

Orya

 

Orya is the continent from which the vast majority of the people of Kandorya originate.

Its history is known in detail over 1200 years and it is bordered by other large continents to the south and behind the mountain range to the west.  

It is almost impossible to get to Orya these days due to the lack of a safe way to get there but also the great destruction it has experienced recently.

The descriptions below are given as an indication in order to better understand where the characters of Kandorya come from.
