The World

Every area of the game world is either controlled Territory or uncontrolled Wilds.

Territory. An area under the control of a Sovereign. A Sovereign is a creature that controls an area around its lair.

Wilds. An area that is not controlled by a Sovereign. It may still contain creatures. When underground, Wilds may be called underwilds.

Exploration

Every area of the game world is explored in one of two modes.

Wilderness Exploration. Characters mount expeditions to move across country, such as Territory or open Wilds. Time passes in hours and days. Position is tracked by hex. Encounter checks are about every four hours.

Dungeon Exploration. Often called delving. Characters move through a place, such as ruins, a lair, or a part of Wilds. Time passes in minutes and hours. Position is by location or room. Encounter checks are about once per hour.
