[[File:Garden of kadish.jpg|thumb|Garden of Kadish]]
The Garden of Kadish is a beautiful, seemingly endless magical garden. The magic of this world itself seems to take care of the garden, automatically growing, arranging and trimming plants in certain ways. Sometimes parts of the Garden are also rearranged. There is always something new to discover here.

However, exploring the garden is not without risk. People have been known to disappear without trace, and everyone who disappeared had apparently caused damage to the garden in some way, such as plucking a rare plant or stepping on a flower patch. The garden does not seem to distinguish between accidental and intentional damage.

== Land of Youth ==
The Land of Youth (Tír na nÓg) is the home of the Tuatha Dé Danann. It is said to be a place of eternal youth, beauty and happiness where there is no sickness or death. It is a place of great wealth and abundance, where the fields are always in bloom and the trees are lways heavy with fruit. It is also said that time passes differently there than in other worlds.
Other than the other known Mundi, the Land of Youth cannot be entered by mortals unless they are brought there by its inhabitants. However, it is said that the incredibly beauty of this world has the ability to drive humans into a deep depression once they return home.
== Nightlands ==
Nightlands, also called the World of Darkness, is a place of perpetual night, as the name implies. The world is known for two particular things. The first is the stunning sky featuring a huge white and blue nebula that covers the entire firmament. The second is the fact that the entire landscape seems to be comprised of [[blackrock]], a material that is of great importance to the magistries around the world.
Blackrock blocks can even be found floating in this world, although it is unclear how it can float.
== Shattered Lands ==
The Shattered Lands, also known as Shattered World or Land of Shards, a mysterious and enigmatic realm, exists in stark contrast to our own world. This bizarre place consists of fragmented shards of land, varying in size from colossal masses to mere pebbles, floating in a seemingly infinite sky. The forces of magic are volatile and unpredictable in this realm, creating landscapes and phenomena that defy conventional understanding.
The lands themselves are a tapestry of beauty and terror. In some regions, shards are adorned with vibrant, luminescent flora and majestic crystal formations, painting a picture of ethereal serenity. In others, twisted, gnarled landscapes evoke a sense of foreboding, as though plucked from the darkest recesses of a Lovecraftian nightmare.
The creatures that inhabit the Shattered Lands are as diverse and wondrous as the lands themselves. Among them, the Rattus faber stands out as a testament to the power of adaptation and ingenuity. Resembling Earth's rats in appearance, these creatures have evolved remarkable intelligence and resourcefulness to navigate the fragmented world in which they reside.
The Shattered Lands serve as a humbling reminder of the boundless possibilities and mysteries that lie beyond our own world. Its inhabitants, like the Rattus faber, are a testament to the power of adaptation and the resilience of life, even in the face of unimaginable adversity.
== Clockworld ==
The Clockworld, also known as World of Clockwork, is a strange and surreal place where everything is made entirely out of gears and cogs that move in a precise and mechanical way. The world is home to clockwork creatures and constructs.
Some believe the Clockworld allows a glimpse into the mechanics of the universe, and is the origin of time itself.
The Clockworld is unique in the way that it is the only Mundusknown that seems to consist of what we would consider artificial structures. How this is possible and how it came to exist is a mystery.
== World of Illusion ==
In a sense, the World of Illusion is a like a cross between the World of Reflections and the World of Dreams. It mirrors our world in many ways, but it is constantly shifting and changing, making it difficult to distinguish truth from illusion. Only the illusions in this world are not created from dreams. Some occur on their own, others are woven by the world's creatures.
It is easy to get lost in this world, as nothing that is seen or heard can be trusted.
The World of Illusion is home to many creatures capable of using illusions. The Japanese kitsunes originate from this world.
== World of Reflections ==
[[File:Erlendari city.jpg|thumb|Erlendari city in the World of Reflections]]
The World of Reflections, sometimes called the World of Mirrors, is considered beautiful and confusing at the same time. Everything that exists is a reflexion of our own world. However, the reflections can be warped and distorted. Sometimes reflections are "angled", leading to the existence of multiple reflections of the same thing, or the creation of non-euclidian spaces.
Since everything in this world is a reflection, magic may also be reversed, meaning harmful magic can heal and healing magic can harm.
The World of Reflections is sometimes used by [[Magi]] as a way to hide or protect things.
The [[Mirror's Maiden]] is known to travel through the World of Reflections to reach several hidden ports (mirror ports) to transport students to and from [[Greannmhar]].
The World of Reflections is home to the [[Erlendari]] civilization.
== World of Silence ==
The World of Silence is described as an endless desert. As its name suggests, there is absolutely no sound. This makes it difficult for wizards to cast spells, as incantations are impossible. In fact, even wizards normally capable of casting spells without incantations are unable to do so in this world. The only magic that work are pre-prepared spells or artifacts.
When one stays in this world for too long, it is said that one will begin to hear a strange sound, almost like a whisper, which will eventually become more defined until one can actually make out words, although these make no sense. The whisper is said to have driven people mad.
Others report hearing a strangely harmonic sound, almost like it was created by a huge, unknown instrument. Individuals who reported hearing this sound never heard the alleged whisper and did not develop any signs of madness.
