The fantasy world of Guided Shadows takes place on an isolated strip of land, sandwiched between mountains and ocean. The area is called Chargin. It is divided into three sections.
The northern most territory is known as Ank'mir. It is mostly inhabited by Elves and Half Elves. Humans tend to populate the middle territory of Midland, where the King of Chargin and the capital, Atlus, reside. The southern territory, Eihou, is claimed by the Animus and Nova. Each territory is separated by a river.
The mountains and ocean on either side of Chargin are considered "endless." No one knows what lies beyond them. Those who have tried to make it through the mountains either never return or give up. It is no different for sailors who have tried to see the other side of the ocean, as they are somehow always turned around and sailing back towards Chargin.
The gods have long since abandoned the world they once created, nurtured, and protected. Raven, a mysterious figure shrouded in shadows, is the only thing keeping that chaos at bay. He stands as an icon for what is left of his world. He protects its people like the gods once did and is now worshiped as one of them. There isn't much left of this world, but what little there is, Raven watches over it.
