Editing Edge of the World

The '''Edges of the World''', also called the '''[[The Last Tide (location)|Last Tide]]''', are places where the sea ends in [[Innworld]].

== Background ==
Once in the past, there have been mighty [Captains] and fearless [Sailors] and [Travellers] who have attempted to find the edge of the known world. But out of every thousand ships that have dared to travel to the edge of the world, past [[Baleros]] and past [[Rhir]], only one or two has ever come back; those that ''do'' scream of a blackness which the water pours into, a place where light does not exist. There are stories that sometimes something comes <em>up</em> from that place. Things that kill all they encounter and die slowly, if at all.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/01/16/4-03-k/ Chapter 4.03 K]</ref> One of those things has been [[A'ctelios Salash]]: <blockquote>“''In an age before the [[Dragons]] ruled, something came from beyond the edge of the world. It must have destroyed nations.''”<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/02/23/7-09-k/ Chapter 7.09 K]</ref></blockquote>Blighted waters from [[Rhir]] flow west and north towards the edge of the world. People from Rhir told the [[Americans|American Group]] that it is a ''great abyss from which no one returns.'' According to them, the world is flat, and you can sail right off it.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/01/1-02-d-2/ Chapter 1.02 C]</ref> [[Wailant Strongheart|Wailant]] on [[Izril]] also has a map of the world where the ends of the world are clearly marked on either end.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/03/01/7-11/ Chapter 7.11]</ref>

The world is actually round, and the reason for the Last Tide's existence is that a piece of the world had been destroyed in the [[God War]]. The [[Drath Archipelago]] is all that remains of the continent that used to be there.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/17/8-80/ Chapter 8.80]</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Because of the edge of the world, the inhabitants of Innworld believe that their world is flat.
*The [[Drath Archipelago]] the islanders live on is the closest to the end of the world. They know not to sail too far in one direction, lest they vanish forever.
